Cosmetic Dentistry
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening uses a bleaching agent to lighten suitable discoloration in natural teeth. The first step is understanding the cause of the color change and how existing fillings, crowns or veneers affect the plan.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Dental Veneers
A veneer covers the front surface of a tooth to change its visible shape, color or proportions. Planning focuses on the natural tooth underneath, the bite and how much tooth preparation would be needed.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic Bonding
Cosmetic bonding adds tooth-colored composite resin to selected areas of a tooth. It can reshape a small chip, refine an edge or change a limited space, while keeping the treatment focused on the particular concern.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Tooth Contouring
Tooth contouring carefully removes a small amount of enamel to refine a minor irregularity in shape or an edge. It is a limited, irreversible change, so the available enamel and the bite guide the decision.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Gum Contouring
Gum contouring changes the outline of gum tissue around selected teeth. It may be considered when excess tissue affects tooth proportions, after the cause of the gum appearance and the underlying bone levels are assessed.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Smile Makeovers
A smile makeover is a coordinated plan for the changes that matter to you, rather than one procedure. It may combine selected approaches to color, shape or alignment after the health of teeth and gums is assessed.
Compare your cosmetic dental options.
Our guides explain teeth whitening, cosmetic bonding, veneers and tooth contouring. Each addresses different concerns and involves different decisions about tooth structure, maintenance and future care. Use the guides to prepare questions about the changes you hope to make.
Planning changes to your smile.
A smile makeover can involve more than one treatment. Discuss which changes matter most to you, what is optional and how the proposed approach fits the health of your teeth and gums. Ask about alternatives, limitations, the treatment sequence and ongoing maintenance before deciding.
