What it is
Artful dentistry that brings out your best smile
Cosmetic dentistry is about more than appearances — it's about how you feel when you smile, speak, and laugh. From a single chipped tooth to a complete transformation, we use porcelain veneers, tooth-colored bonding, and professional whitening to refine shape, color, and balance with a natural, beautiful result.
If a "gummy" smile or uneven gum line is holding you back, gentle gum reshaping can reveal more of your teeth and bring harmony to your smile. And when several goals come together, a full smile makeover combines treatments into one carefully planned design built around your features and the look you've always wanted.
- Porcelain veneers for chips, gaps & discoloration
- Professional teeth whitening
- Tooth-colored bonding & reshaping

Your smile makeover
We start with a conversation about what you'd love to change, then build a personalized plan — and often a preview — so you can see the result before we begin.
- A design tailored to your face and features
- Natural-looking shape, shade & proportions
- Treatments combined into one smooth plan
- Comfortable visits with Oral sedation with Dr. Havig, subject to suitability and office confirmation

Plan your smile
Explore the right combination of treatments
Alongside veneers, bonding, and gum reshaping, your cosmetic plan may include clear aligners to address alignment. Our practice also offers professional whitening options performed in the office or used more gradually at home.
Digital X-rays, 3-D imaging, and digital impressions help with treatment planning. We will discuss which information is needed for your individual plan.
Understand the visits and costs
The number of visits and cost vary with the treatment you choose. We will explain your options and estimated costs so you can plan around your goals and budget rather than assume every smile makeover follows the same process.

Questions
Cosmetic dentistry FAQ
Are porcelain veneers permanent?
Porcelain veneers are a long-term treatment. Because a thin layer of enamel is gently prepared to seat them, the step is not reversible — but well-cared-for veneers typically last 10 to 15 years or more before they need to be replaced. We'll show you a preview of your new smile before anything is finalized.
How white can my teeth get with professional whitening?
Professional whitening can lift your smile several shades brighter than over-the-counter kits, with results customized to look natural for you. Your starting shade, tooth structure, and the cause of staining all play a role, so we set realistic expectations at your visit and protect your gums throughout.
Will my new smile look natural?
Yes. We design every smile around your face, your features, and the look you want — choosing shape, shade, and proportions that flatter you. The goal is a refreshed, confident smile that looks like the best version of you, never fake or one-size-fits-all.
Does cosmetic dental treatment hurt?
Most cosmetic treatments are comfortable, and many — like whitening and bonding — involve little to no discomfort. For veneers or gum reshaping we use gentle techniques and offer Comfort-Focused Care, with soft pillows, blankets, and a calm environment to keep you relaxed from start to finish.
