Healthy teeth and gums are the foundation of good oral care, but how your smile looks matters as well. When you feel unsure about the way your teeth look, it can affect your confidence and make you hesitant to smile openly around others.
Cosmetic treatments are offered at many dental practices, but our doctors take a personalized approach designed to produce results that look natural. The goal is for people to notice your beautiful smile, not that cosmetic work was done. Each treatment plan takes into account your unique teeth, facial features, and personal goals to help create a smile you can feel good about.
Cosmetic Dental Procedures Available at Our Practice
Teeth Whitening Treatments
The Smile Architects offers take-home whitening kits, in-office Zoom!, and KöR whitening systems. Our doctors selected each of these options based on how well they perform, how safe they are, and how well the results can hold up over time.
Invisalign® Clear Aligners
Invisalign gives patients a way to straighten their teeth without traditional metal braces. A series of clear, removable aligners is used to gradually shift teeth into new positions. Many patients find the Invisalign system convenient and comfortable to wear.
Custom Porcelain Veneers
For patients who want to change the look of their smile, veneers can be a good option. These thin shells fit over the front of the tooth and can help address gaps, chips, minor alignment issues, discoloration, and irregular tooth size.
Dental Bonding Services
Dental bonding offers a budget-friendly way to address a variety of cosmetic concerns. A tooth-colored resin is used to fill in gaps and chips, cover
discoloration, and repair minor fractures. The material is applied directly to the tooth and then shaped carefully so it blends naturally with the rest of your smile.
Enamel Microabrasion
Gum Contouring Treatment
For patients with extra gum tissue, sometimes referred to as a gummy smile, or an uneven gum line, gum contouring is a straightforward procedure that can help improve symmetry. A soft tissue laser is used to reshape the gums without the need for surgery or stitches.
Additional Cosmetic Treatment Options
Some of our dental procedures offer both restorative and cosmetic value, improving how your teeth look as well as how they function. These options include the following.
Cosmetic Dentistry Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in cosmetic dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry covers any dental procedure performed mainly for aesthetic purposes. Teeth whitening, bonding, veneers, and gum contouring are all considered part of cosmetic dentistry.
How long do cosmetic dentistry results typically last?
How long your results last depends on the procedure performed and how well you maintain them afterward. Following any cosmetic dental treatment, our team will provide care instructions to help extend its longevity. With consistent care, many procedures can produce results that last for years, and some may last even longer.
Can a cosmetic dentist improve the look of my smile?
In many cases, yes. Cosmetic dentistry has advanced significantly, and many aesthetic concerns can be addressed. During a consultation, our team will review your goals, discuss potential treatment options, and may show you an example of what your results could look like.
Does dental insurance cover cosmetic dentistry?
Typically, dental insurance does not cover procedures performed solely for cosmetic reasons, such as teeth whitening. When a procedure improves both appearance and function, such as a crown, dentures, or in some cases dental implants, a portion of the cost may be covered.
