Cosmetic Dentistry

Have you ever caught yourself hiding your smile in photos or covering your mouth when you laugh? It's surprising how a smile you're not proud of can subtly affect your confidence and social interactions.

The goal of cosmetic dentistry isn't to create a perfect, artificial-looking smile; it's to enhance your smile's natural beauty and help you feel confident in your appearance. Whether you want to brighten your teeth with KöR whitening or are considering a complete smile makeover, cosmetic dental services at Whitehouse Family Dental offer beautiful, natural-looking solutions. 

Your Smile Vision, Our Expertise

Cosmetic dentistry is an investment, and we want you to be thrilled with the results. The process begins with a conversation, during which our cosmetic dentists take time to truly listen and understand your aesthetic concerns while evaluating your current oral health needs.

Some patients desire a dramatic transformation, while others prefer subtle enhancements. We aim to craft a personalized plan that feels right for you, whether addressing a single tooth or reimagining your entire smile.

Cosmetic Smile Issues We Address

With improved techniques and updated materials, our cosmetic dentists can correct a wide range of issues to perfect your smile's appearance.
Stained or Yellow Teeth
KöR deep whitening can dramatically brighten teeth, eliminating years of stubborn stains with a combination of in-office and at-home treatments.
Tooth Misalignment
SureSmile® clear aligners are a discreet, comfortable way to straighten teeth while maintaining your professional image and confidence.
Chipped Teeth
Composite bonding repairs minor smile imperfections in a single visit, restoring natural contours and creating a seamless blend with your natural tooth.
Cracked or Broken Teeth
More significant damage may require porcelain veneers or crowns to restore strength and beauty, protecting the tooth while creating a flawless appearance.
Gaps between Teeth
We fix spaces between teeth with bonding for minor gaps, veneers for a more comprehensive solution, or clear aligners when spacing issues affect multiple teeth.

Our Cosmetic Dentistry Services

Which cosmetic dental solution is right for you? We will customize a treatment plan to help you achieve your goals with services that include:

  • Composite Bonding — Tooth bonding uses the same composite resin as fillings to correct minor imperfections like chipped, cracked, or gapped teeth. 
  • Porcelain Veneers —  We custom-craft ultra-thin porcelain shells to cover the front surface of teeth to transform their shape, color, and appearance. Veneers address multiple concerns and have a durable, stain-resistant surface that looks and feels natural.
  • Tooth Contouring — Sometimes the smallest changes make the biggest difference. Tooth contouring creates harmony in your smile by gently reshaping enamel to improve symmetry, smooth rough edges, or adjust slight overlaps.
  • SureSmile® Clear Aligners — Custom-made clear aligners gradually shift teeth into alignment without metal brackets or wires. 
  • Teeth Whitening — Professional-strength KöR teeth whitening delivers dramatically brighter smiles that over-the-counter products can't match. Choose between convenient take-home kits with custom trays or our powerful in-office treatment for immediate results.
  • Aesthetic Crowns — When teeth need structural repair, our CEREC same-day crowns combine essential protection with beautiful aesthetics. Crafted from high-quality ceramic matched to your natural tooth color, these restorations strengthen damaged teeth while creating a flawless appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Many patients wonder about insurance coverage for smile improvements when visiting our cosmetic dentist. The answer largely depends on the procedure and your specific plan.

Dental insurance typically covers procedures that address function and health, but rarely covers purely cosmetic treatments. However, some procedures fall in a middle ground:

Partially Covered Cosmetic Procedures

  • Dental crowns (when medically necessary)
  • Tooth-colored fillings (coverage varies by plan and tooth location)

Procedures Not Typically Covered

  • Porcelain veneers
  • Professional teeth whitening
  • Cosmetic bonding

Making Cosmetic Dentistry Affordable

At Whitehouse Family Dental, we offer several options to help make your dream smile more accessible:

  • Flexible Financing — We accept CareCredit and Cherry financing, which allows you to break treatment costs into manageable monthly payments, often with interest-free periods for qualifying procedures.
  • Membership Plan Savings — Our in-house dental membership plan provides discounts on most cosmetic procedures while including your preventive care. There are no waiting periods, annual maximums, or complicated claim forms.
  • Phased Treatment Approach — For comprehensive smile makeovers, we can develop a phased approach that spreads procedures over time to accommodate your budget.

Our team will work with you to maximize available insurance benefits and find the most cost-effective path to your smile goals. Call Whitehouse Family Dental at (419) 877-5404 to schedule your consultation and discuss personalized treatment and payment options.
