What Is Cosmetic Dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry refers to treatments primarily focused on improving the appearance of a person’s teeth, gums, and smile. These treatments improve the color, shape, size, and alignment of teeth, as well as correct issues such as chipped, cracked, or worn teeth. The goal of cosmetic dentistry is to give patients a smile they can be proud of.
Our Cosmetic Dentistry Treatments
Cosmetic Dental Bonding
Cosmetic dental bonding involves applying a tooth-colored resin to the surface of the teeth to correct issues such as cracks, chips, or gaps. Dental bonding can also reshape teeth and improve their overall appearance.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening is a non-invasive procedure that involves removing stains and discoloration from teeth to give them a brighter, whiter appearance. We perform teeth whitening treatments in-office with convenient, painless whitening trays and gels.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells bonded to the front of the teeth to improve their appearance. They can correct issues such as discoloration, chips, gaps, and misalignment.
Invisalign® Orthodontics
Invisalign is a popular alternative to traditional braces that uses clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth. These aligners are a discreet and convenient option for patients who want to improve the appearance of their smile without the hassle of metal braces.

Frequently Asked Questions
Cosmetic dentistry is generally considered safe, as long as it’s performed by a qualified and experienced dentist using appropriate materials and techniques. As with any dental or medical procedure, there’s always some risk involved. Patients should discuss the potential risks and benefits of any cosmetic dental treatment with their dentist before proceeding.
Restorative dentistry focuses on restoring the function and health of teeth damaged by decay, trauma, or other factors. Cosmetic dentistry, on the other hand, is primarily concerned with improving the appearance of teeth, although many cosmetic procedures also have restorative benefits.
Not at all! The level of discomfort associated with cosmetic dental treatments varies depending on the specific procedure and the individual patient. Some cosmetic treatments, such as teeth whitening, are painless and may only cause minor sensitivity. Other procedures, such as dental implants or orthodontic treatment, may cause discomfort during or after the visit, but this can usually be managed with pain medication or other measures.
Some cosmetic dental treatments may require temporary dietary restrictions. Patients should follow any dietary instructions provided by their dentist to ensure the best results from their cosmetic dental treatment.
