- Gaps and Spaces Between Teeth: Cosmetic procedures like dental bonding or porcelain veneers can close unsightly gaps, providing a more harmonious and even smile.
- Discoloration and Stains: Teeth whitening treatments can effectively eliminate stains and discoloration, restoring your teeth to a brighter, more youthful shade.
- Slightly Misaligned or Uneven Teeth: Orthodontic treatments can correct minor misalignments, giving you a straighter and more aligned smile.
- Missing Teeth: Dental implants, bridges or dentures can replace missing teeth, restoring your smile’s functionality and appearance.

FAQs
What treatments are included in cosmetic dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry encompasses a variety of treatments aimed at improving the aesthetics of your smile. Common procedures include options such as dental bonding, teeth whitening, and dental veneers. These treatments can be used to brighten discolored teeth, correct uneven spacing, and enhance the shape or size of teeth. Depending on your oral health needs and smile goals, your treatment plan may also include orthodontic or restorative treatment options as well. Each treatment plan is customized to address individual needs and ensure the best possible results for your unique smile.
Is cosmetic dentistry only for appearance?
While the primary goal of cosmetic dentistry is to improve the appearance of your teeth, many procedures also enhance overall oral health and function. For example, correcting alignment issues can make cleaning your teeth easier, reducing the risk of decay. Dr. Engle takes a holistic approach, ensuring both aesthetic and health benefits.
How long do cosmetic dental treatments typically take?
The length of cosmetic treatments varies depending on the procedure and the patient’s needs. Simple treatments like whitening may be completed in a single visit, while more extensive procedures like veneers or smile makeovers may require multiple appointments. Our experienced dentist will provide a detailed timeline during your initial cosmetic consultation.
Are cosmetic dentistry treatments permanent?
The longevity of cosmetic treatments depends on the procedure and your oral care routine. Some options, such as whitening, may require touch-ups over time, while others, like veneers, offer long-lasting results with proper maintenance. Our dentist will provide guidance on caring for your enhanced smile to ensure it lasts.
