Whether you are looking to address minor imperfections or seeking a full smile makeover, cosmetic dentistry can help you achieve the look you have always wanted.

Common cosmetic concerns that we address include:

  • Stained or discolored teeth: Professional teeth whitening treatments can lighten your teeth by several shades, offering a brighter, more youthful smile.
  • Misshapen or uneven teeth: Veneers or bonding can correct the shape and symmetry of your teeth, ensuring your smile looks naturally balanced.
  • Gaps between teeth: Whether it is a small gap or a more significant space, cosmetic treatments such as veneers or orthodontics can help close these gaps seamlessly.
  • Chipped or cracked teeth: Dental bonding or porcelain veneers are ideal for repairing minor damage, restoring both function and appearance.
  • Worn teeth: Cosmetic treatments can address teeth that have been worn down due to grinding or age, restoring their natural shape and strength.

By opting for cosmetic dentistry, you are not only enhancing the appearance of your smile but also improving your overall dental health.

FAQ

What is cosmetic dentistry?

+

Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of your teeth, gums and smile. While many treatments also provide functional benefits, the primary goal is aesthetic enhancement. Common cosmetic procedures include teeth whitening, veneers, bonding and gum contouring. These treatments can address issues like stained, chipped or misshapen teeth, as well as gaps between teeth, helping you achieve a smile that is both beautiful and healthy-looking.

How long does cosmetic dentistry take?

+

The duration of cosmetic dental treatments varies depending on the procedure and your individual needs. For example, professional teeth whitening may take just one office visit, while treatments like veneers or orthodontic work could require several appointments over a few weeks or months. During your consultation, our dental team will provide a personalized timeline based on your treatment plan, ensuring you know what to expect.

Is cosmetic dentistry covered by insurance?

+

Cosmetic dentistry is typically considered elective, meaning it is not usually covered by dental insurance. However, some procedures that also improve function, such as crowns or bonding to repair a broken tooth, might receive partial coverage. It is best to check with your insurance provider for details. At our office, we offer flexible payment options to make cosmetic treatments accessible for all patients.

Are cosmetic dental treatments permanent?

+

The longevity of cosmetic treatments varies. For example, teeth whitening may need touch-ups over time, while veneers can last 10 to 15 years or longer with proper care. Bonding may require more frequent maintenance, especially if used for areas subject to wear. Maintaining excellent oral hygiene and regular dental visits will help extend the life of your cosmetic dental work. Our dentist will discuss the expected lifespan of each treatment during your consultation.
