About Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry changes how teeth look. The treatments we provide include:
- Porcelain veneers — thin lab-made porcelain shells bonded to the front of teeth. Placing them requires removing some enamel, which is permanent.
- Professional teeth whitening — custom take-home trays made from impressions of your teeth, and in-office whitening.
- Dental bonding — tooth-colored resin applied directly to a tooth to repair a chip, close a small gap, or change its shape.
- Tooth-colored fillings — to replace visible metal fillings.
- Gum contouring — reshaping an uneven gumline.
Some cases combine more than one of these. Whitening does not change the color of crowns, veneers, or fillings, and results vary with the type of staining. Decay and gum disease are treated before cosmetic work.
What to Expect
Treatment starts with an exam and a conversation about what you would like to change. We take photographs and X-rays as needed, check your bite, and talk through the options that apply to you, including simpler ones. We explain the treatment plan and its cost before any treatment begins.
When more than one treatment is involved, the order matters. For example, whitening is done before veneers or crowns so the shade can be matched. The number of visits depends on the case.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know which cosmetic treatment is right for me?
Start with a consultation. We look at your teeth, listen to what you would like to change, and explain the options and their trade-offs.
Can I have cosmetic work if I have other dental problems?
Decay and gum disease need to be treated first. We check your overall dental health before any cosmetic treatment.
Is cosmetic dentistry covered by insurance?
Cosmetic treatment is often not covered. Call our office with your insurance information and we can talk through how your plan applies before your visit.
How much does cosmetic dentistry cost?
Cost depends on the treatment you need, which we can't know before an exam. We explain the treatment plan and its cost before any treatment begins.
