Veneers
As thin sheath coverings that are bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth, these customized restorations can change the size, shape, and color of your smile. Offering a truly transformational way to boost your appearance, veneers can be placed in 2-3 appointments, effectively hiding chips, cracks, stains, discoloration, minor gaps, misshapen teeth, and slight misalignment. As a permanent cosmetic dentistry solution that requires a small amount of tooth enamel to be removed, veneers can last a decade or longer with optimal care.
Metal-Free Dental Restorations
Metal-free restorations are a great alternative to traditional amalgam that can shine a spotlight on your dental care. Using EMAX materials, we can create a dental crown or another similar restoration that not only improves your appearance but also offers maximum protection against decay and damage. Metal-free materials are also helpful for individuals who suffer from metal allergies, and they’re better for the environment.
Invisalign Clear Aligners
If you want to avoid traditional metal braces that appear bulky and often irritate your soft tissues, why not consider Invisalign clear aligners? These clear, plastic trays are customized to follow your smile as it progresses through treatment, ensuring optimal movement and comfort. With Invisalign, you can enjoy a more subtle form of orthodontics while also obtaining faster results depending on your case.

Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs
Is Cosmetic Dentistry Covered by Insurance?
Cosmetic dentistry is typically not covered by insurance because it's considered elective and not medically necessary. Most insurance plans focus on restorative procedures, like fillings, root canals, and extractions. However, there are exceptions where some cosmetic procedures might be partially covered if they also have a restorative function.
For instance, if a procedure is needed to repair damage caused by an accident or to improve function as well as appearance, insurance might cover part of the cost. Always check with your insurance provider to understand what is covered and to what extent, as policies can vary significantly. Of course, we’ll be happy to help you do this.
Is Cosmetic Dentistry Safe?
The cosmetic dentistry procedures we offer are not only effective but also safe. While it's true that any medical or dental treatment carries some level of risk, our top priority is your health and well-being. We use the latest technology and techniques to minimize risks and ensure the best possible outcomes.
For every procedure, whether it's teeth whitening, veneers, or more complex treatments like dental implants, we conduct thorough assessments to tailor the treatment to your specific needs. We take the time to discuss potential risks and how we mitigate them, ensuring you're fully informed and comfortable before proceeding.
Rest assured, our team is highly trained and experienced in cosmetic dentistry. We follow strict protocols to maintain a safe, sterile environment, and we’re here to support you every step of the way, from consultation to aftercare.
How Long Does Cosmetic Dentistry Last?
The longevity of cosmetic dentistry depends on the specific procedure and how well you maintain your oral health afterward. Here's a general overview:
- Teeth Whitening: Results typically last from 6 months to 2 years, depending on your diet and oral hygiene habits. Avoiding staining foods and drinks can help extend the results.
- Veneers: Porcelain veneers can last 10-15 years or even longer with proper care. Composite veneers have a shorter lifespan, around 5-7 years.
- Dental Bonding: Typically lasts 3-10 years, but it may need touch-ups or replacement due to wear or discoloration.
- Crowns and Bridges: These can last 10-15 years or longer with good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups.
Regular dental visits and proper care are key to extending the life of cosmetic dental work.
Does Cosmetic Dentistry Hurt?
Cosmetic dentistry is generally not painful, and we take every measure to ensure your comfort during procedures. Most cosmetic treatments, such as teeth whitening, veneers, and bonding, involve minimal discomfort. For more invasive procedures like dental implants or crown placements, local anesthesia is typically used to numb the area, so you won't feel pain during the process.
After the procedure, you might experience some sensitivity or mild discomfort, especially with treatments that involve altering the tooth structure, like veneers or crowns. This discomfort is usually temporary and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers and by following our aftercare instructions.
