why patients come here

Cosmetic work that reads as your own teeth.

That is what we mean by artfully done. It is the hardest kind of cosmetic work to do well, because natural is a moving target — right for your face, your age, your skin tone, your bite, your goals. It takes planning. Sometimes it takes the whole Four-Layer Formula. Patients travel to our Gilbert practice from Gilbert, Mesa, Chandler, Queen Creek, San Tan Valley, and Apache Junction.

cosmetic options

Four categories, one standard.

Porcelain Veneers
01

Porcelain Veneers

Hand-crafted porcelain shells bonded to the front of your teeth. For patients who want a full transformation and have the structure underneath to hold veneers well.

Conservative preparation (0.3-0.7mm)
Wax-up or digital preview before we start
CEREC or lab, depending on case
Spark Clear Aligners
02

Spark Clear Aligners

Digitally-planned, nearly invisible aligners — not Invisalign. We use Spark by Ormco because the material is clearer and stains less.

iTero digital scan (no goopy impressions)
Custom trays, 22 hours/day
6-18 months typical treatment
Teeth Whitening
03

Teeth Whitening

Professional in-office or take-home whitening. Fast lift, controlled fade, no drugstore-strip letdown.

In-office: multi-shade lift in 60 minutes
Take-home: 2-3 weeks of nightly wear
Whitening for Life program available
Facial Esthetics
04

Facial Esthetics

Botox and dermal fillers in service of the smile — gummy-smile correction, lip framing, and TMJ tension relief.

Dental-anatomy-first approach
Not a med spa
Often paired with TMJ therapy

A dentist who plans for decades, not visits.

Cosmetic dentistry is judged on how well the work ages. A smile that photographs well at the seat is easy. A smile that reads as natural five years later, under a wedding-photo flash, at close range — that takes planning across all four layers.

good questions

Cosmetic dentistry FAQ

How do I know which option is right for me?

The consultation. Half the time patients come in asking for one thing and leave with a plan for something better — usually because the underlying issue was different from what they thought.

Will it look fake?

Not if we plan it right. That is the whole point of the preview step.

Can I combine treatments?

Yes — whitening + veneers is common. Spark before veneers is common on rotated teeth. Facial esthetics + veneers is common for smile framing.

Is cosmetic covered by insurance?

Purely cosmetic work is not covered by most PPOs. Some restorative work with cosmetic outcomes may be partially covered. Financing available.

How long do results last?

Well-planned veneers, 15-20+ years. Spark retention (with retainer), permanent. Whitening, 12-18 months per refresh.
