What is Cosmetic Dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of your teeth, gums, and overall smile. While general dentistry addresses health and function, cosmetic procedures enhance aesthetics — though many treatments offer both benefits.
Common concerns we address include:
- Discolored, yellowed, or stained teeth
- Chipped, cracked, or worn teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Misshapen or uneven teeth
- Minor alignment issues
- Gummy smiles or uneven gum lines
The best part? Many cosmetic procedures can be completed quickly with minimal discomfort, and the results can last for years with proper care.
Our Cosmetic Services
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening delivers dramatically brighter results than any store-bought product. Coffee, tea, wine, and everyday life leave stains that accumulate over time. Our in-office whitening treatments safely remove years of discoloration in a single visit, revealing a noticeably whiter smile. We also offer take-home whitening options for patients who prefer gradual brightening on their own schedule.
Dental Veneers
Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-crafted shells that cover the front surface of teeth. They're ideal for transforming teeth that are severely stained, chipped, misshapen, or slightly crooked. Veneers provide a complete smile makeover that looks completely natural. With proper care, veneers can last 10-15 years or longer.
Dental Bonding
Bonding is an affordable, minimally-invasive way to repair minor chips, cracks, and discoloration. Using tooth-colored composite resin, Dr. Chintakunta sculpts and shapes the material directly onto your tooth, then hardens it with a special light. The entire process typically takes just one visit with no need for anesthesia..
Dental Crowns
When a tooth is too damaged for a filling but doesn't need extraction, a crown provides complete coverage and protection. Modern dental crowns are crafted from materials that match your natural teeth, restoring both function and aesthetics. Crowns are also used to complete smile makeovers and improve the appearance of misshapen teeth.
Smile Makeovers
A smile makeover combines multiple cosmetic procedures into a comprehensive treatment plan customized for your goals. Dr. Chintakunta evaluates your entire smile — tooth color, shape, alignment, and proportion — then recommends the ideal combination of treatments. Your makeover might include whitening, veneers, crowns, bonding, or other procedures working together to create stunning results.
Am I a Good Candidate for Cosmetic Dentistry?
Almost everyone can benefit from cosmetic dentistry! The key is ensuring your oral health foundation is solid before focusing on aesthetics. If you have untreated cavities, gum disease, or other dental issues, we'll address those first to ensure your cosmetic results last.
Consider cosmetic treatment if you answer yes to any of these questions:
- Do you avoid smiling in photos?
- Are your teeth noticeably stained or yellowed?
- Do you have chips, cracks, or worn edges on your teeth?
- Are there gaps between your teeth you'd like to close?
- Do you feel your teeth are too small, too large, or misshapen?
- Would you like a more uniform, balanced smile?
During your consultation, we'll discuss your specific concerns and goals, then recommend the treatments that will give you the best results within your budget and timeline.
Benefits of Cosmetic Dentistry
Boosted Confidence
When you love your smile, you show it off more. This increased confidence can positively impact your personal relationships, professional opportunities, and overall quality of life.
Improved Oral Health
Many cosmetic procedures offer health benefits too. Crowns protect damaged teeth from further decay. Straighter teeth are easier to clean. Patients who love their smiles often take better care of them.
Younger Appearance
Bright, well-shaped teeth are associated with youth and vitality. Whitening alone can take years off your appearance, and a complete makeover can be truly transformative..
Long-Lasting Results
With proper care, cosmetic dental work provides years of beautiful results. Veneers and crowns can last a decade or more. Even whitening results can be maintained with good habits and occasional touch-ups.
Cosmetic Dentistry Cost & Financing
Cosmetic treatment costs vary based on the procedures you need and the complexity of your case. During your consultation, we'll provide a detailed treatment plan with transparent pricing.
We believe cost shouldn't prevent you from having the smile you deserve. We offer:
- Flexible in-house payment plans
- Low-interest financing through CareCredit
- Insurance verification (some cosmetic procedures may be partially covered)
