Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of your teeth, gums, and bite. This includes whitening stained teeth, reshaping chipped teeth, closing gaps or correcting misalignment, restoring worn edges, and enhancing symmetry. Many cosmetic treatments also provide structural benefits, such as crowns or veneers that protect weakened tooth structure.

Because cosmetic procedures are elective and focused on appearance, most traditional dental insurance plans do not cover purely cosmetic work. However, if a procedure also serves a restorative or structural purpose—such as repairing cracked enamel or strengthening a damaged tooth—your plan may offer partial coverage. We’re happy to help you review your policy and identify which portions (if any) might be covered.

Professional teeth whitening is by far the most requested cosmetic treatment—it’s relatively simple, affordable, and delivers a noticeable transformation. After that, veneers and Invisalign (clear aligners) tend to be the next most popular choices at our practice, combining aesthetic and functional benefits.g gaps or correcting misalignment, restoring worn edges, and enhancing symmetry.

Typically not. Cosmetic dentistry is designed to enhance and improve the appearance of existing teeth. Tooth extractions are a treatment for damaged, decayed, or failing teeth—not a cosmetic service. If a tooth must be removed, our dentists will guide you toward replacement options (like implants, bridges, or dentures) to restore your smile’s appearance.

Filling cavities is generally considered a preventive or restorative service, rather than a cosmetic one. That said, we sometimes use tooth-colored composite materials to perform “invisible” or more esthetic fillings—especially if the cavity is in a visible area. That bridges the gap between function and appearance.

Yes, that’s our goal. We select shades, shapes, and materials that complement your facial features and natural teeth to achieve a believable and beautiful result.
