Your Smile Makeover Plan
Your smile is like no other, and your treatment plan at Central Dental Associates will be unique.

We will be happy to answer any questions you have, and our team will walk you through possible treatments that will deliver your dream smile.

Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is easily the most popular cosmetic dentistry solution available. You can find a wide array of whitening toothpaste, mouthwashes, strips, and gels at your local grocery store or pharmacy. Like any dental treatment, whitening is best left to the professionals. While these store-bought whitening products promise dramatic results, they deliver relatively little change. Let our team brighten your smile with in-office or take-home teeth whitening treatments. These professional teeth whitening products are customized to meet your unique needs, and they can brighten teeth up to ten shades.

Veneers
In the past, you could probably tell when someone had veneers. They looked noticeably different from natural teeth, and they needed to be frequently repaired or replaced. In fact, the first sets of porcelain veneers were created as movie props and had to be replaced every few days. Today, veneers are flawlessly crafted to look and feel like natural teeth, and they can last a decade or longer with proper care. Veneers cover the front-facing surfaces of teeth, and we can craft them in just two visits to our dental office so that they will look exactly like your natural smile, only perfected.
Cosmetic Dental Bonding
A brighter, straighter, more beautiful smile doesn’t have to mean spending a lot of time in our office, though we would love to see you. With cosmetic dental bonding, we can completely transform your smile in just one visit. Cosmetic bonding uses the same tooth-colored composite resin that we use for fillings. Instead of replacing a decayed or damaged part of your tooth, we can use the custom-shaded composite resin to cover staining, fill in gaps between your teeth, or correct other cosmetic imperfections. In just one appointment, you’ll have a flawless smile.

How Do I Know If I Need Cosmetic Dentistry?
If you have concerns about the appearance of your teeth or simply want to achieve a more confident smile, cosmetic dentistry might be a suitable option for you. Whether you wish to correct discoloration, repair chipped or misaligned teeth, or fill gaps between teeth, our team can assess your unique needs and recommend the most effective treatments tailored to you. We’ll make sure you get the look you’ve always wanted!
Is Cosmetic Dentistry Safe?
Yes, cosmetic dental procedures are generally safe when performed by qualified professionals like our team at Central Dental Associates. We prioritize patient safety and follow strict protocols to ensure a comfortable and secure environment. Of course, it’s important to note that not every treatment is right for everyone.
During your consultation, we’ll examine your mouth and give you an honest assessment of which procedures may not be right for you. Some treatments may pose a risk if an underlying health issue is not addressed first. For instance, placing a veneer over a decayed tooth could make the decay more difficult to treat later on.
How Long Does Cosmetic Dentistry Last?
It depends! The exact lifespan of your new and improved smile will depend on the specific procedure you’ve completed. Some treatments, like teeth whitening and dental bonding, don’t usually last as long as more extensive procedures like veneers. However, the better you take care of your new smile, the longer you can expect your results to last. Practicing good oral hygiene, visiting your dentist regularly, and not using your teeth as tools can help preserve your results for as long as possible.
Does Cosmetic Dentistry Hurt?
We get it – you may be hesitant to pursue cosmetic dentistry because you’re concerned about the pain. Fortunately, our team will do everything we can to make your experience as comfortable and enjoyable as possible! The good news is that most cosmetic treatments are non-invasive, meaning they shouldn’t even require a local anesthetic.
For more complex treatments where your tooth must be reshaped (like veneers), we’ll numb your mouth beforehand to ensure you’re comfortable. You may experience mild soreness or sensitivity over the next few days, but it should go away with time. If needed, you can manage your discomfort with over-the-counter pain medication and cold compresses.
