What is cosmetic dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry transforms your smile by improving the appearance of your teeth, restoring tooth damage, and replacing missing teeth if needed. If you’re unhappy with your smile, cosmetic dentistry uses a wide range of restorations to give you the smile you desire, creating beautiful, natural-looking results that leave a desirable first impression.

How can cosmetic dentistry change my teeth?

Cosmetic dentistry at Llanos Dental Group tackles every aesthetic and functional problem affecting your smile, including:

• Tooth discoloration
• Misshapen teeth
• Uneven teeth
• Missing teeth
• Gaps between teeth
• Chipped or cracked teeth
• Overly long or short teeth

Some cosmetic procedures can also improve slightly misaligned teeth.

What treatments does cosmetic dentistry include?

Dr. Llanos is an expert in numerous dental procedures that improve your smile, including:

Teeth whitening

Professional in-office teeth whitening uses a concentrated product that dramatically brightens your smile in the shortest amount of time. However, Dr. Llanos also offers at-home teeth whitening kits.

Tooth bonding

Dental bonding repairs stained, chipped, and cracked teeth by applying a specialized material over the surface of your teeth. Dr. Llanos can also use tooth bonding to improve the shape and size of your teeth.

Tooth contouring and reshaping

Tooth contouring removes a small amount of enamel to restore uneven or misshapen teeth and give you a balanced, uniform smile.

Dental veneers

Veneers are thin, custom porcelain shells placed over the front surface of your teeth. Veneers can correct many cosmetic problems, including chipped, stained, and cracked teeth.

Dental crowns

Dental crowns cover existing teeth, hiding any cosmetic problems while restoring strength and function. With a dental implant, crowns can replace missing teeth.

Invisalign® clear aligners

If your teeth are too crooked or misaligned to be repaired with bonding or veneers, you may need Invisalign to perfect your natural smile.

Are smile makeovers part of cosmetic dentistry?

Yes, your cosmetic dentistry plan may involve a smile makeover or smile design. Smile makeovers are comprehensive, personalized procedures that repair all the problems in your mouth. 

Dr. Llanos works with you to identify your cosmetic and dental concerns and develops a plan to restore your teeth and gums. Smile makeovers typically include several procedures performed over multiple visits, often with weeks or months between appointments, depending on the treatments you need.
