Most patients aren't born with a perfect smile, and imperfections such as discoloration, gaps, chips, and misalignments can cause patients to be self-conscious. Cosmetic dentistry can address all these dental issues and help patients achieve the healthy smile they deserve.
Cosmetic dentistry includes all dental procedures that are aimed at enhancing the appearance of one's smile.
Professional teeth whitening provides patients with a fast and effective way to brighten their smiles by several shades in just a couple of visits. This means that patients can feel confident showing off their smiles in photographs, at social events, and in everyday conversation.
Porcelain veneers are one of the easiest and fastest ways to improve the appearance of your smile. These thin, shell-like coverings are bonded to the front of your teeth to conceal flaws while brightening your smile. If your teeth are chipped, cracked, crooked, or misaligned, then porcelain veneers are a simple and effective way to brighten your smile.

Gum reshaping and gum lift are two common cosmetic procedures that your dentist can use to improve the appearance of your smile.
Gum reshaping is used to correct a "gummy" smile. If your gum tissue covers too much of your teeth, your dentist can reshape the tissue to create a more even smile.
A gum lift is used to make your smile appear longer or fuller. This procedure involves your dentist making small incisions in your gum tissue and removing the tissue. Once your gums have healed, the tissue will be tightened.
