Cosmetic dentistry

Begin with what you would like to change, then explore what is appropriate for your teeth.

Understand your options

Your goals deserve a clear discussion.

Questions about tooth color, shape or visible gaps may lead to different conversations. Whitening and veneers, for example, work in different ways and have different limitations.

Describe your priorities and ask about alternatives, maintenance and any changes to tooth structure. The health of your teeth and gums belongs in that discussion too.

  • Alternatives and treatment limitations
  • Maintenance and any irreversible changes

We welcome patients of all ages. Treatment recommendations depend on each patient's individual needs and a clinical evaluation.

Get in touch
Are whitening and veneers interchangeable?

No. Whitening changes the color of natural teeth; veneers cover the front surface and can alter appearance in other ways.

Can I choose a treatment from a photograph?

A photograph may help explain your goals, but it cannot establish suitability or guarantee a matching result.
