Cosmetic dentistry ranges from a one-hour whitening to a full set of custom porcelain veneers. The best plan balances the look you want, how much change is realistic for your teeth, and your budget. Often the smallest change makes the biggest difference.
It helps to match the tool to the problem. Stains usually clear with professional whitening, which lifts shades that strips cannot. A single chip or a small gap is a quick fix with tooth-colored bonding. When several front teeth need help at once — shape, color, and minor crowding together — veneers reset the whole smile. Crowns do double duty when a tooth needs both strength and a new look.
A good cosmetic result does not announce itself. It looks like you on a very good day, which is why we plan shade and shape carefully before anything is bonded or prepared. The guides below walk through each option, what it costs, and how to keep it looking new.
