What Cosmetic Dentistry Can Achieve
Your smile communicates warmth, confidence, and personality. When something about it feels off—like a chip, discoloration, or misalignment—it can make you hold back. Cosmetic dentistry restores that ease by refining the details of your teeth and creating visual balance.
Our cosmetic treatments can address:
- Stains or discoloration caused by coffee, tea, or aging
- Chips, cracks, or surface irregularities
- Small gaps or crowding between teeth
- Uneven tooth shapes or lengths
- Minor alignment issues that affect appearance or function
These improvements not only enhance aesthetics but also promote better oral balance. Many patients find that their bite feels more comfortable and their smile feels more complete once these details are refined.
Our Personalized Cosmetic Dental Treatments
At Whiteman Dental Associates, every cosmetic treatment begins with conversation and careful planning. Dr. Whiteman designs results that are guided by your unique features—never formulaic or overdone.
Professional Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening remains one of the most effective ways to refresh your smile quickly. Our professional whitening treatments remove years of surface stains safely and comfortably.
We offer both in-office whitening for immediate results and take-home kits for gradual, flexible brightening. Each option is tailored to your enamel type, sensitivity level, and preferred shade goal.
Unlike over-the-counter kits, our whitening treatments use precise formulas and customized trays to deliver even, lasting results without irritation.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are among the most transformative cosmetic treatments available. Each thin ceramic shell is bonded to the front of the tooth to improve shape, color, and overall symmetry.
Dr. Whiteman designs every veneer with careful attention to proportion, tone, and translucency. The result is a balanced, harmonious smile that reflects light like natural enamel.
Veneers can correct chips, discoloration, spacing, and uneven shapes, offering durable results that last for years with proper care.
Invisalign Clear Aligners
For those seeking straighter teeth without traditional braces, Invisalign offers a discreet and comfortable alternative. These clear aligners gently move teeth into alignment while maintaining a natural appearance.
Each aligner set is custom-made for precision and comfort. You can remove them to eat, brush, and floss, which helps maintain good oral hygiene throughout treatment.
Dr. Whiteman monitors your progress regularly to ensure alignment is on track. The treatment enhances both aesthetics and function—improving your smile while optimizing your bite.
Dental Bonding
Dental bonding provides a quick, minimally invasive solution for correcting chips, cracks, or uneven edges. Using a tooth-colored resin, Dr. Whiteman sculpts and polishes each treated tooth by hand for a seamless, natural finish.
Bonding is ideal for minor aesthetic issues or as a more affordable alternative to veneers. The process typically takes one visit, making it a convenient choice for immediate improvements.
Cosmetic Contouring and Shaping
For small adjustments, cosmetic contouring smooths and reshapes uneven edges or irregular tooth surfaces. The process involves gentle polishing and fine-tuning to bring your smile into better proportion.
This subtle yet effective treatment is often combined with bonding or whitening for refined, balanced results.
Smile Makeovers
Sometimes, the best approach involves combining multiple cosmetic treatments for a cohesive transformation. A smile makeover may include whitening, veneers, and alignment correction—all carefully planned to complement your facial features.
Dr. Whiteman designs each makeover as a custom composition, ensuring every element feels natural and unified.
What to Expect at Your Cosmetic Consultation
Your consultation is an opportunity to discuss your goals openly and explore your options without pressure. Dr. Whiteman will perform a thorough evaluation of your teeth and gums, taking into account your oral health, facial symmetry, and aesthetic preferences.
Using photos and digital imaging, we’ll show you how different treatments might enhance your smile. You’ll receive a personalized plan with clear explanations, timelines, and transparent cost estimates.
Every recommendation is made with honesty and care. If a simpler or more conservative option would work better for your situation, we’ll walk through that together.
