What cosmetic treatment is right for me?

The appropriate treatment depends on what you want to change, your oral health, tooth condition, bite, existing dental work and goals. A cosmetic consultation allows us to evaluate your smile and compare your options.

What is a smile makeover?

A smile makeover is a personalized treatment plan that combines two or more cosmetic or restorative procedures to address multiple smile concerns.

What is the difference between veneers and whitening?

Whitening changes the color of natural tooth enamel. Veneers cover the visible surfaces of selected teeth and can change characteristics such as shape, color and proportion.

Can I combine Invisalign, whitening and veneers?

Yes, when clinically appropriate. Different treatments address different concerns, and treatment should be carefully sequenced to support the desired result.

Can cosmetic dentistry fix chipped or worn teeth?

Depending on the extent and cause of the damage, treatment may include cosmetic bonding, veneers, crowns or another restorative or cosmetic option.

Can cosmetic dentistry replace missing teeth?

When missing teeth affect appearance and function, dental implants, bridges or other tooth-replacement treatments may be incorporated into the overall plan

Do I need healthy teeth before cosmetic treatment?

Healthy teeth and gums provide the foundation for cosmetic dentistry. Active decay, gum disease or other dental problems may need to be addressed before or during cosmetic treatment.

Professional teeth whitening is one of the most popular ways to make a noticeable change to your smile.

Coffee, tea, certain foods, tobacco, aging and natural tooth characteristics can contribute to staining and discoloration.

Professional whitening is designed to brighten natural tooth enamel and reduce many common stains.

Existing crowns, veneers and other restorations generally do not whiten in the same way as natural enamel. Hillside Dental can help plan whitening around your existing dental work.

Sometimes one cosmetic procedure is enough. Other patients want to address several aspects of their smile.

A personalized smile makeover may incorporate treatments such as:

Professional teeth whitening
Porcelain veneers
Cosmetic bonding
Invisalign clear aligners
Dental crowns
Dental implants
Restorative dentistry

Planning the complete smile is important because treatment order can affect the final result.

For example, teeth may be straightened before veneers are designed or professionally whitened before the shade of new restorations is selected.

A beautiful smile also needs to be healthy and functional.

Sometimes a cosmetic concern is related to a tooth that is cracked, worn, heavily restored, damaged or missing.

When this happens, cosmetic and restorative dentistry can work together.

Dental crowns, tooth-colored restorations, bridges, dental implants and other restorative treatments may help restore function while also improving the appearance of your smile.

Because Hillside Dental provides cosmetic, restorative, implant and general dentistry in one Clearfield practice, we can consider your complete dental health when planning treatment.
