Cosmetic Dentistry

Although our primary concern is your overall oral health, we never underestimate the importance of having an attractive smile you're proud to show off. If you hide your teeth because of chips, gaps, or other imperfections, let our skilled team reveal the beautiful smile you've always wanted with cosmetic dentistry!

Smile Flaws We Correct with Cosmetic Dentistry

Everyone has unique desires and expectations for their smile's appearance. Our experienced cosmetic dentists at CDIC will work with you to determine your goals and the issues you want to improve. Some of the most common cosmetic tooth flaws we address include:

  • Chipped or cracked teeth
  • Broken teeth 
  • Worn teeth
  • Uneven spacing and gaps between teeth
  • Crooked or crowded teeth
  • Tooth shape or size differences
  • Teeth that appear too short or too long
  • "Gummy" smiles
  • Tooth stains and discoloration

Our cosmetic dentist takes the time to understand your goals before recommending the appropriate treatment. If you have more than one issue to address, we'll discuss your needs and create an individualized treatment plan to meet them.

Cosmetic Dentistry Treatments We Offer

Because no two smiles are identical, our range of cosmetic dental procedures helps adults of all ages achieve their ideal smiles. While the following procedures are those commonly associated with cosmetic dentistry, the goal of every treatment we provide is to leave you with a healthier, more attractive smile. 

Tooth-Colored Fillings and Dental Bonding

Tooth-colored fillings mimic tooth enamel, and we match the shade to your smile to create an invisible tooth repair. This material is also perfect for dental bonding, where we use it to fill in small chips, even out gaps and spaces between teeth, and even alter a tooth's shape or size. Bonding is easy and affordable and delivers beautiful, natural-looking results.

Porcelain Veneers

You don't need a Hollywood-style makeover to appreciate the benefits of dental veneers! Our cosmetic dentists customize ultra-thin ceramic shells to cover a tooth's front surface and cosmetic smile flaws. We use veneers to conceal broken teeth, hide wide gaps and spacing issues, cover a badly stained tooth, and even improve the appearance of slightly crooked teeth.

Invisalign Clear Aligners

Invisalign clear braces are a convenient adult orthodontic treatment that corrects tooth misalignment without metal braces. Using a series of clear, discreet plastic aligners and gentle force, Invisalign gradually moves teeth into the desired position.

Invisalign aligners are removable, so you can brush and floss thoroughly and enjoy your favorite foods with no restrictions.

Cosmetic Crown Lengthening

If too much of your gums are visible when you smile, your teeth appear smaller. Commonly called a "gummy" smile, our dentists use cosmetic crown lengthening or gum contouring to remove excess gum tissue.

This process exposes more of the teeth to make them appear longer and provide a more harmonious appearance. We can perform this procedure on a single tooth or along the entire gum line.

Teeth Whitening

It's not surprising that the most-requested cosmetic dental treatment is professional teeth whitening. You can't find a faster, easier, or more affordable way to create a noticeable improvement than brightening your smile with tooth whitening.

Our fast in-office teeth whitening delivers immediate results, and our custom take-home whitening kits provide beautiful, lasting results in about two weeks.

Porcelain and Zirconia Dental Crowns

Several types of dental crowns are available, but our patients prefer natural-looking materials like porcelain and zirconia. Our dentists often use crowns to cover misshapen or badly discolored teeth. When expertly matched to the shade of surrounding teeth, dental crowns create a seamless appearance.

Complete Smile Reconstruction

Do you have numerous aesthetic flaws and oral health conditions to address? We often see patients where time or neglect has taken a toll on their smiles in numerous ways. Functional issues like missing, worn, and broken teeth often exist alongside cosmetic flaws like tooth staining, and we can address them all.

Our dentists are highly skilled in restoring smiles and would be happy to meet with you to evaluate your needs and determine the most appropriate treatments. Sometimes this involves several procedures like dentures, dental implants, fillings, and crowns. 

You can be confident that we will work with you to develop a long-range treatment plan to resolve all your issues in a way that best fits your dental needs, budget, and timeline.

Getting Started with Cosmetic Dentistry

We know you're excited to get started with your new smile, and we're excited for you! However, it's important for us first to ensure that your oral health is up to par. If you have cavities or gum disease, we will correct those problems first because the foundation for a beautiful smile is healthy teeth and gums.
