Veneers
A dental veneer is a thin shell made out of material that can be shaded to match the color of your natural enamel. Our team can completely cover the visible surface of a tooth with a veneer, thus hiding a wide variety of flaws from view. You can get a single veneer if you only have one tooth that’s in need of improvement, but you can also get veneers for multiple teeth in order to transform your entire smile.
Metal-Free Dental Crowns
If you don’t want to get a dark-colored metal crown to repair your tooth, our team can offer a more image-friendly alternative. We can provide metal-free dental crowns that are made out of materials that closely match the appearance of your natural teeth. The average observer won’t be able to tell the difference between the crown and the rest of your grin. On top of that, metal-free crowns are less likely to trigger tooth sensitivity than their metal counterparts.
Cosmetic Dental Bonding
When you have one or two small corrections that you want to make to a single tooth, we may suggest cosmetic dental bonding, which is a quick cosmetic procedure that can often be completed in as little as one appointment. A bit of composite resin will be used to cover any chips, discolored spots, and other flaws on the tooth in question. The resin will be shaded and sculpted so that it appears to be part of the natural tooth.
KöR Teeth Whitening
Plenty of patients want to brighten their smiles, so to help them achieve the dazzling results they have in mind, we offer KöR teeth whitening. This unique whitening system uses refrigerated gels that are highly effective when it comes to removing all kinds of discoloration. We offer an in-office treatment that yields results quickly, but if you don’t mind waiting to see the change you want, you can also take advantage of one of our take-home whitening kits.
Gum Recontouring
Do you feel like your gums aren’t framing your smile properly? Are they attracting attention in a way that you don’t want? We may suggest gum recontouring in order to give your grin a more balanced look. A soft tissue laser can be used to remove excessive gum tissue. One of the benefits of gum recontouring is that you don’t have to worry about your gums growing back later, which means you can say goodbye to your gummy smile for good.
Virtual Smile Design
Are you not sure whether a given cosmetic dentistry treatment is really the best choice for you? It might help to see what your smile will look like once the procedure is completed. With our virtual smile design software, we can simulate various cosmetic treatments and show you the results. This way, you will have a realistic idea of what you can expect before you agree to any sort of cosmetic dental procedure.
Understanding the Cost of Cosmetic Dentistry
If you really want to try cosmetic dentistry, you’ll first need to learn its price. Knowing your treatment expenses will ensure your dental care stays within your budget. With that said, you should consult our dentists for a precise estimate; the cost of cosmetic dentistry varies by patient. Our team can then work to make your treatment affordable, walking you through its pricing factors, payment options, etc. Just keep reading or call us to get more details!
Which Cosmetic Dental Service is Right for Me?
You can trust cosmetic dentistry to make teeth whiter, straighter, or differently shaped. Even so, don’t forget that its treatments differ from each other; they vary in their costs and effects. That means you should consider the field’s distinct services to ensure ideal results.
We at Sweet Smiles Dental Design offer the following cosmetic procedures:
- Cosmetic Dental Bonding – By applying tooth-colored resin to teeth, this treatment hides a patient’s minor smile flaws. It’s also highly cost-effective, though its results don’t last long.
- Teeth Whitening – Teeth whitening uses bleaching gels to brighten your smile. Whether it’s done in-office or through a kit, the procedure can be moderately expensive.
- Veneers – Veneers are porcelain shells placed on the fronts of teeth. Thanks to their versatility, they fix many smile flaws but have a significant cost.
- Smile Makeovers – A smile makeover is a mix of several aesthetic procedures, rather than its own treatment. It’s usually the most expensive form of cosmetic dentistry.
Cosmetic Dentistry Is An Investment Worth Making
Even if it seems extravagant, cosmetic dentistry is often a good investment. Its many treatments carry priceless perks and save patients money over time.
For starters, a gorgeous grin can raise your quality of life. That means the right cosmetic treatment would boost your confidence, reduce your stress levels, and so on. The pretty smile it gives you would ensure you mingle with friends, family, and other folks without worry.
Better yet, cosmetic dentistry usually “pays for itself” in the long run. Your newly-beautified teeth could help with first impressions, making job interviews and promotions easier to ace. Such career success would lead to a higher income that covers your treatment cost.

Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs
Is Cosmetic Dentistry Expensive?
Many people associate cosmetic dentistry with expensive treatments, but this doesn’t necessarily have to be the case. The pricy reputation of cosmetic dentistry likely stems from the fact that it is rarely covered by dental insurance. Most of the time, patients have to pay for their treatment out of pocket. Improving your smile may seem costly at first, but you need to consider the investment that you are making in your self-esteem, confidence, and quality of life. In fact, an attractive smile could lead to better job opportunities, so your smile makeover may even end up paying for itself!
How Do I Know If I Need Cosmetic Dentistry?
If you aren’t completely confident in the smile that you see when you look in the mirror, you could likely benefit from cosmetic dentistry. Stained or discolored teeth often can’t be fixed with over-the-counter whitening products, but professional whitening can get the job done. Chipped and cracked teeth can be protected with dental crowns or veneers. If you want to look younger, cosmetic dentistry can help with this too! The best way to find out if cosmetic dentistry is right for you is to schedule a consultation with us. This way, we can discuss your goals and put together a plan to best meet your needs!
Does Cosmetic Dentistry Hurt?
Many people are hesitant to commit to all sorts of dental treatments because they are worried that it will be painful. The good news is that we will always do everything we can to make you feel as comfortable as possible in the dental chair. Most cosmetic treatments are non-invasive, so they don’t even require a local anesthetic. For treatments like veneers, where your tooth must be reshaped, the dentist will numb your mouth beforehand. There might be some residual soreness or sensitivity for the next few days, but this should be mild and temporary.
What Causes Discoloration of the Teeth?
There are various reasons why teeth can become discolored. Here are some of the most common.
- Food & Beverages: Certain foods and beverages can move into the outer layers of your tooth structure, staining your teeth. Common culprits are tomato sauce, red wine, tea, coffee, and chocolate.
- Tobacco: Smoking and chewing tobacco can cause tooth discoloration. Additionally, the research found higher levels of dissatisfaction among smokers with how they look based on the appearance of their teeth.
- Age: As one gets older, their teeth can become more brittle, allowing for staining and yellowing.
- Injury: When tooth injuries are the root of the problem, the affected tooth can darken.
- Antibiotics: If you took antibiotics as a child, you may want to find out which ones you took. According to The Food and Drug Administration (FDA), there is a link between taking tetracycline antibiotics as a child and permanent tooth discoloration.
