Cosmetic Dental Treatments
Depending on your individual needs, a cosmetic treatment plan may include:
- Professional teeth whitening: Helps reduce common stains and brighten the appearance of natural teeth.
- Porcelain veneers: Thin restorations that may improve the appearance of chipped, worn, uneven or discolored teeth.
- Tooth-colored restorations and crowns: Options designed to restore damaged teeth while creating a natural-looking result.
- Dental implants: May replace missing teeth when implant treatment is appropriate for your oral health.
- Personalized smile design: Combines suitable treatments into a coordinated plan based on your smile and priorities.
What Cosmetic Dentistry May Address
Patients may explore cosmetic care for discoloration, chips, worn surfaces, uneven tooth shape, spacing concerns or missing teeth. The appropriate option depends on the condition of your teeth and gums as well as the result you would like to achieve.
A Personalized Approach to Your Smile
Every smile is different. Your dentist will explain suitable options, expected care, benefits and limitations before treatment begins. Some procedures may require treatment of existing dental concerns first, and service availability may vary by South Dental location.

Cosmetic dentistry — frequently asked questions
Which cosmetic treatment is right for me?
It depends on the condition of your teeth and gums and the result you want. Every plan starts with an evaluation and a conversation about your goals.
Do veneers damage natural teeth?
Veneers may require some preparation of the tooth surface. Your dentist will explain what is involved, the benefits and the limitations before treatment.
Do you offer cosmetic promotions?
South Dental runs promotions on services such as whitening and veneers from time to time. See the promotions page or call your nearest office.
How long does teeth whitening last?
Results vary from person to person and depend on habits like coffee, tea, wine and smoking. Good oral hygiene and occasional touch-ups help your results last longer.
What is the difference between Lumineers and crowns?
Lumineers are very thin shells bonded to the front of the teeth, mainly for cosmetic improvements. Crowns cover the entire tooth and are often used when a tooth also needs to be strengthened or restored.
Is cosmetic dentistry covered by insurance?
Purely cosmetic treatments are usually not covered, but some restorative treatments like crowns may be partially covered. We can help you check your benefits.
