Cosmetic dentistry covers the treatments that change the shape, color, size and alignment of your teeth: porcelain veneers, professional whitening, tooth-colored bonding, crowns, and full smile makeovers that combine them.
It starts with a healthy foundation. We examine your teeth and gums first, because a veneer bonded over decay or untreated gum disease will not last. Then we design your new smile digitally, so you see the proposed result before any enamel is touched.
Tooth enamel is the hardest substance in the human body, but once it is removed it cannot grow back.
Choose a treatment to see what it fixes and what to expect. Dr. Bui will tell you when less treatment will do.
Thin custom porcelain shells bonded to the front of the teeth to correct chips, gaps, worn edges, crowding and stains that do not respond to whitening.
Every veneer is designed to your face and shade and made in our own lab, and you preview the result in temporaries before the final ones are bonded. Learn how our porcelain veneers work.
Ultra-thin porcelain, around 0.3 to 0.5 mm, bonded with little or no enamel removal. Because the tooth underneath stays intact, the treatment is conservative and often reversible.
They suit teeth that are small, spaced, worn short or set back. Crowded or full-sized teeth usually need a lightly prepared veneer to look natural.
In-office whitening brightens natural teeth by several shades in a single visit, and custom take-home trays let you control the pace.
It is the least invasive cosmetic treatment we offer, and often the only one a healthy smile needs.
Composite resin is shaped directly onto the tooth to repair a chip, close a small gap or replace an old silver filling, then polished to match the surrounding enamel.
Bonding is usually done in one visit and removes very little tooth structure.
When a tooth is heavily worn, cracked or root-canal treated, a crown restores it while matching your other teeth.
A smile makeover combines crowns, veneers and whitening into one plan, so the finished result is even in shade, shape and proportion. If several teeth are broken down, a full mouth reconstruction may be the better plan.
No-prep veneers are bonded to the front of the teeth with minimal or no enamel removal, so the treatment is conservative and, in many cases, reversible. They work best for teeth that are small, slightly spaced, worn short or set back.
Dr. Bui will tell you honestly which option your teeth suit. We do not fit no-prep veneers where the result would look thick or the edges would be hard to clean.
Cases are designed from your own photos and scans, and the final restorations are made in our own lab, so a shade or contour that is slightly off can be corrected the same week instead of being posted back and forth.
Three steps, with a real preview in your own mouth before anything is final.
An exam, digital X-rays, photos and a talk about what you want changed. Dr. Bui models the proposed shape and proportion of your teeth with digital smile design.
Teeth are prepared conservatively and scanned digitally, no putty. You wear temporaries made from the approved design to test the look and feel.
Final restorations from our lab are tried in before bonding, so shade, edge shape and bite can still be adjusted. We check the fit again at follow-up.
Cosmetic dentistry is not one price, because it is not one treatment. Porcelain and no-prep veneers are priced per tooth, and the total depends on how many teeth are treated, the material chosen, and whether any repair or gum treatment is needed first.
Cosmetic treatment is usually not covered by insurance, but the restorative part of a plan often is. A crown on a cracked tooth, for example, may be covered even when the shade match is cosmetic. We check your plan before you commit.
You receive a written estimate for the whole plan at your consultation, so there are no surprises once treatment starts.
A no-prep veneer is only about 0.3 to 0.5 mm thick, so the tooth underneath stays intact.
Enamel does not grow back, so we prefer whitening and bonding when they will reach your goal, and save veneers and crowns for teeth that need them.
Cosmetic work is usually not covered, but the restorative part of a plan often is. We check your benefits first, and financing is available through Cherry, Proceed, Alphaeon and major credit cards.
It depends entirely on the treatment. Whitening is the least expensive, bonding costs more, and veneers and crowns are priced per tooth because each one is custom made. The number of teeth treated and the material chosen drive the total. We give you a written estimate at your consultation and offer financing through Cherry, Proceed, Alphaeon and major credit cards.
If your teeth are healthy and well shaped but stained, professional whitening is usually the right first step. Veneers make sense when the shape, edges or spacing also need changing, or when stains are intrinsic and do not respond to whitening. We recommend the least invasive option that reaches your goal.
Preparing a tooth for a veneer removes a thin layer of enamel that does not come back, which is why we only prepare teeth when there is a reason to. Some cases can be treated with minimal-preparation veneers or bonding instead. We show you what would be removed before you agree to treatment.
With good hygiene and regular check-ups, porcelain veneers and crowns commonly last well over a decade. Bonding is easier to repair but stains and chips sooner. Grinding is the main threat to all of them, so we fit a night guard when it is a risk.
Yes. Digital smile design models the proposed result from your own photos and scans, and for veneers and crowns you wear temporaries made from the approved design. Anything you want changed is changed before the final restorations are made.
No-prep veneers are very thin porcelain veneers bonded with little or no enamel removal. They suit teeth that are small, spaced or worn short. Crowded or full-sized teeth usually need a lightly prepared veneer to look natural. A digital smile design shows which option fits your teeth before anything is done.
A brighter smile, a repaired front tooth or a full makeover: the first step is a conversation about what you would change. See the plan before you commit to it.
