What Is Cosmetic Dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry refers to procedures and treatments that focus primarily on the appearance of the teeth. In some cases cosmetic dentistry will also improve the health of the teeth, but the main goal is to make your smile look more aesthetically appealing.
Benefits of Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry can offer a variety of benefits:
- Better looking smile. Cosmetic dentistry can improve the appearance of your teeth for a smile that looks more natural.
- Increased confidence. When you feel better about your smile, it can increase your confidence. Having greater confidence can improve your personal and professional life.
- Long lasting results. The results of most cosmetic procedures last for many years, giving you long lasting improvements to your smile.
- Potential oral health benefits. In some cases your dental and oral health will improve with cosmetic dentistry.
Procedures Offered:
Teeth Whitening
Teeth will naturally lose their brightness over time. Drinking coffee or tea, or using tobacco, as well as certain childhood medications can cause teeth to discolor or darken even faster than normal. Whitening, also known as bleaching, is the procedure used to brighten teeth.
Invisalign®
For patients who don’t want to draw attention to the fact that they’re undergoing orthodontic treatment, Invisalign is an excellent choice. We offer Invisalign options for children, teens, and adults. All three of these solutions are convenient, comfortable, and virtually invisible.
Clear Aligners (Dandy Aligners)
We also offer Dandy Aligners, another clear aligner system that is similar to Invisalign.
Veneers
Veneers are thin, porcelain or ceramic shells that attach to the front side of your teeth. They are used to conceal imperfections and make the smile look more uniform.
Cosmetic Bonding
Cosmetic bonding is the process of filling or restoring teeth with a tooth-colored material in order to improve a tooth’s appearance. In order to bond a tooth, composite material is added to the tooth structure to adjust the size, shape, or color of the existing tooth.
Microabrasion
This technique can minimize or eliminate stains, yellowing or spots by removing a very thin layer of the tooth’s enamel.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cosmetic Dentistry
Is teeth whitening safe for my teeth?
Professional teeth whitening is effective but gentle. It won’t damage your tooth enamel in any way. It is common for teeth to be a little more sensitive than usual after teeth whitening, but using a sensitive toothpaste afterwards can help.
How long does Invisalign or Clear Aligners take to straighten teeth?
Invisalign and other clear aligner treatments typically take somewhere between 6 and 18 months to achieve the desired results. The length of your treatment will depend on the extent of the movements your teeth require to be in alignment.
What is the difference between full mouth reconstruction and a smile makeover?
A full mouth reconstruction typically involves the replacement of the majority or all of the teeth. A smile makeover may include a combination of cosmetic procedures to improve the appearance of the teeth without necessarily replacing them, except in a few cases.
How long does teeth whitening last?
The results of professional teeth whitening treatment can last anywhere from 1-3 years. The results last longest with periodic touch-ups.
Is cosmetic dentistry covered by insurance?
In most cases cosmetic dentistry is not covered by insurance, unless the procedure also serves a dental health purpose. Orthodontic treatment and full mouth reconstruction may be covered by insurance to some extent, depending on your provider and plan.
