Cosmetic dentistry

Thoughtful changes that still respect the health of your teeth.

Cosmetic treatment can address color, shape, wear, spacing, or older restorations after the underlying health of the smile has been evaluated.

← All procedures

Start with the result you want—and the tooth you have.

Two people with a similar cosmetic concern may need very different treatment. Tooth color, enamel, existing fillings or crowns, bite forces, and the health of the gums all affect which options are appropriate.

A dental examination helps separate a cosmetic concern from decay, injury, or another condition that should be addressed first. From there, the options can be compared for appearance, tooth preservation, durability, maintenance, and cost.

Cosmetic options listed by the practice

Teeth whitening

Professional options for eligible natural teeth; whitening does not change the color of crowns, veneers, or fillings.

Porcelain veneers

Custom coverings bonded to the front of selected teeth to change shape, color, or proportion.

Composite fillings

Tooth-colored material used to restore selected areas affected by decay or damage.

CEREC restorations

Digital design and in-office fabrication that allows many ceramic restorations to be completed in one visit.

Porcelain inlays & onlays

Custom restorations that repair more of a tooth than a filling while covering less tooth structure than a full crown.
