Cosmetic dentistry focuses on enhancing the aesthetic appearance of your smile. While general or restorative dentistry primarily addresses the health and function of your teeth and gums (like fixing a cavity or treating an infection), cosmetic dentistry is the art of making your teeth look beautiful, symmetrical, and bright.
However, the line between restorative and cosmetic dentistry often blurs. Many cosmetic treatments, such as porcelain crowns or Invisalign, also improve the function of your bite and make it easier to maintain good oral hygiene. Ultimately, the goal of cosmetic dentistry is to give you a natural-looking smile that makes you feel completely confident in your daily life.
If you find yourself covering your mouth when you laugh or smiling with your lips closed in photos, you are likely a great candidate. Common issues we correct include:
Investing in your smile pays dividends that go far beyond aesthetics. The benefits of cosmetic dentistry include:
At Centerville Dental Center, we offer a comprehensive suite of cosmetic treatments. During your consultation, we may recommend one or a combination of the following:
Ultra-thin, custom-made shells of porcelain bonded to the front of your teeth. They instantly correct gaps, severe stains, and misshapen teeth for a flawless, natural-looking smile that lasts 10–15 years.
Custom take-home whitening trays with prescription-strength bleaching gel to safely lift years of stains caused by coffee, tea, wine, and aging — up to 8 shades brighter.
A fast, cost-effective single-visit treatment where tooth-colored resin is sculpted to fix minor chips, small gaps, or slight discoloration — no anesthesia needed in most cases.
Straighten crooked or overlapping teeth discreetly without metal brackets or wires. Removable aligners make eating, brushing, and flossing completely easy throughout treatment.
Custom porcelain caps that restore the strength and beauty of a heavily damaged, discolored, or misshapen tooth — indistinguishable from your natural teeth in just two visits.
A fully customized plan combining two or more cosmetic procedures to completely transform your smile. We design your new look before we begin a single procedure.
If you require multiple treatments, we will design a step-by-step Smile Makeover plan. The process typically involves:
Advanced Digital Technology
We utilize cutting-edge technology to ensure your cosmetic results are precise and predictable. This includes Intraoral Scanners (no more messy, gag-inducing putty impressions), Digital X-Rays (for safe, instant imaging), and precise Shade Matching Technology to ensure your new veneers, crowns, or bonding blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
Seeing is believing. During your consultation, we will show you high-quality before-and-after photos of actual Centerville Dental Center patients who have undergone porcelain veneers, professional whitening, and composite bonding. You will see firsthand how we can transform a chipped, stained smile into a radiant, natural-looking masterpiece.
With over 40 years of experience serving the Greater Dayton area, our team combines technical precision with an artist’s eye. Cosmetic dentistry requires a delicate touch and a deep understanding of facial aesthetics. We pride ourselves on creating personalized treatment plans in a comfortable, pressure-free environment. We perform all treatments under one roof, utilizing advanced technology to deliver natural-looking results that last.
Most patients are excellent candidates for cosmetic enhancements. However, a beautiful smile must be built on a healthy foundation. Before beginning cosmetic work, we will ensure you have:
If you have underlying dental issues, we will address those first through our preventive or restorative services.
Because every smile is unique, the cost of cosmetic dentistry varies widely based on the specific procedures required, the materials used, and the complexity of your case. During your consultation, we will provide a clear, transparent breakdown of all costs.
While most dental insurance plans do not cover strictly cosmetic procedures, we believe a confident smile should be accessible. We offer flexible financing options, including CareCredit, to help you break the cost down into manageable monthly payments.
Recovery time depends on the procedure. Teeth whitening and bonding require zero downtime. Veneers and crowns may cause slight, temporary sensitivity to hot and cold for a few days. To maintain your new smile long-term, simply practice excellent oral hygiene (brushing twice a day, flossing daily), attend your regular dental cleanings, and avoid biting on hard objects like ice, pens, or fingernails which could chip your restorations.
| Feature | Cosmetic Dentistry | Orthodontics (Braces) | Restorative Dentistry |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary Goal | Improves appearance & aesthetics | Straightens teeth & aligns bite | Repairs damaged or decayed teeth |
| Timeline | Often faster (1-3 visits) | Longer treatment (months to years) | Focuses on immediate function |
| Main Benefit | Smile enhancement & confidence | Bite correction & alignment | Tooth preservation & health |
It depends on the procedure. Teeth whitening may need touch-ups every year or two. Dental bonding usually lasts 5 to 7 years. Porcelain veneers and crowns can last 10 to 15 years or longer with excellent oral hygiene and regular dental visits.
Most cosmetic procedures are completely painless. Whitening and bonding often require no anesthesia at all. For procedures like veneers or crowns, we use local anesthesia to ensure you are completely numb and comfortable throughout the entire visit.
Absolutely! Combining treatments is known as a Smile Makeover. For example, many patients choose to whiten their teeth first, and then have porcelain veneers placed on a few chipped front teeth to match the new, brighter shade.
“I hid my smile for years because of a chipped front tooth and severe staining. The team at Centerville Dental Center recommended whitening and two porcelain veneers. The process was so easy, and the results look completely natural. I finally love my smile!”
