Is Cosmetic Dentistry Right for You?
Cosmetic treatment is a good fit if your teeth are healthy but you’d like to address staining, discoloration, chips, gaps, or uneven shape. If you have underlying issues like decay or damaged teeth, we’ll typically recommend addressing those first with restorative care before moving on to cosmetic treatment, so your results last as long as possible.
Our Cosmetic Dentistry Services
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening uses safe, dentist-supervised ingredients to lift stains and brighten your natural tooth shade — delivering more noticeable, longer-lasting results than over-the-counter whitening kits.
Veneers
Veneers are thin, custom-made shells bonded to the front of your teeth to improve color, shape, and symmetry. We offer both composite and ceramic veneer options.
Learn MoreFrequently Asked Questions
How long does teeth whitening last?
Results typically last several months to a couple of years, depending on your diet, oral hygiene habits, and whether you use tobacco. Avoiding heavily staining foods and drinks, and maintaining regular professional cleanings, will help results last longer.
Do you offer sedation?
We offer nitrous oxide and limited oral sedation as comfort-focused options for select patients.
What’s the difference between composite and ceramic veneers?
Composite veneers are typically faster and more affordable, and can often be completed in a single visit. Ceramic (porcelain) veneers are more stain-resistant and durable, but usually require multiple visits and a slightly higher investment. We’ll help you decide which fits your goals and budget.
Will cosmetic dentistry damage my teeth?
No. Treatments like whitening and veneers are designed to enhance appearance without compromising the health of your teeth. We’ll always evaluate your oral health first to make sure cosmetic treatment is appropriate.
Does insurance cover cosmetic dentistry?
Cosmetic treatments are generally considered elective and are not typically covered by dental insurance, though some cases may qualify for partial coverage if there’s a functional component. Visit our insurance page for more details, or ask about financing options at your consultation.
