Treatments
Cosmetic dentistry, with restraint
Every smile is different. Together we choose the right treatment for you — sometimes whitening is enough, sometimes a few ultra-thin veneers.
Professional whitening
In-office whitening in a single visit, or at home with custom-fitted trays. We protect your gums and keep sensitivity under control throughout.
Digital smile design
Using photos and a 3D scan, we design the shape of your new teeth on screen, in harmony with your face. You see the result before you decide.
Gum contouring
When your gums cover too much of your teeth, a “gummy smile” can be corrected with a laser — no scalpel, quick healing. Teeth look longer and better proportioned.
Composite bonding
We repair chips, uneven edges and small gaps by adding tooth-colored composite directly to the tooth, in one visit and with no drilling.
Clear aligners
We straighten teeth discreetly with nearly invisible aligners you swap every few weeks. Ideal before veneers, or as a treatment on their own.
All-ceramic crowns
For badly damaged or root-canal-treated teeth, zirconia or pressed ceramic crowns restore the strength and translucency of a natural tooth.
Cleaning & prevention
Ultrasonic scaling, professional polishing and AirFlow stain removal. The first step before any cosmetic treatment — and the key to results that last.
Digital smile design
Your smile, planned digitally
No guesswork, no empty promises. Every new smile is designed, tested and approved by you, one step at a time.
- 01
Consultation and photos
We talk about what you want, then take photos and a short video of your smile to study your facial proportions.
- 02
3D intraoral scan
Instead of goopy impressions, a small scanner captures your teeth in a few minutes, with no discomfort.
- 03
The design on screen
Your dentist draws the new shape of your teeth and shows it on your own photo. We adjust it until you truly love it.
- 04
The trial smile (mock-up)
We copy the design into a temporary material placed right over your teeth. You look in the mirror, talk, smile — with no drilling at all.
- 05
Final treatment
Only once you approve the trial do we make the veneers or final restorations, then schedule a six-month check-up.

Patient stories
Smiles that speak
“I was scared veneers would look fake. I wore the trial smile for a whole day before I said yes. Now nobody can tell — they just notice I smile more.”
“In-office whitening took just over an hour, and the sensitivity was gone in two days. They explained exactly what to avoid afterward.”
“I’d had a gummy smile my whole life. Laser contouring was far easier than I expected, and I healed quickly.”
“I got the plan and the price in writing at my first visit. What won me over was that they never recommended more than I needed.”

Frequently asked questions
What our patients ask
Can’t find your answer? Call us at (555) 010-0100 — we’re happy to help.
Do veneers damage natural teeth?
Modern porcelain veneers are 0.3–0.7 mm thick, so preparation is minimal and limited to the front surface. In some cases they can be bonded with no preparation at all. Your dentist will tell you exactly what your case involves after the scan.
How long do porcelain veneers last?
With good hygiene and regular check-ups, porcelain veneers typically last 10–15 years or longer. They don’t stain over time, unlike composite, which may need occasional polishing.
Does whitening harm enamel?
Professional whitening done under a dentist’s supervision does not damage enamel. You may feel some cold sensitivity for 1–3 days, which we reduce with special gels. Whitening won’t change the color of existing fillings or crowns.
What is a trial smile (mock-up)?
It’s a copy of your future smile, made from a temporary material and placed over your teeth with no drilling. You wear it for a few hours or a day to see how it looks and feels. It comes off easily and leaves no trace.
Does laser gum contouring hurt?
It’s done under local anesthetic, so you won’t feel pain during the procedure. The laser seals the tissue as it works, so discomfort afterward is mild and healing usually takes just a few days.
Can I pay in installments?
Yes. For larger treatment plans you can pay in stages as treatment progresses, or spread the cost with flexible payment plans and financing. We’ll go over all the details at your consultation.
