- Timelines you can plan around (including event deadlines)
An ethical, pressure-free approach that keeps health first and esthetics close behind
Our approach: natural first, always
Cosmetic dentistry works best when it enhances your features, not replaces them. We design smiles around proportion, shade, and bite, then select the least invasive path that achieves your goals. You’ll see photos and digital previews where appropriate so results stay aligned with what you have in mind.
What this means for you: fewer surprises, durable results, and a look that friends notice as “you look great,” not “you had work done.”
Our goal is to understand your priorities, then map a plan you can trust.
What happens:
- Conversation & photos – we talk about goals (whiter, smoother edges, close gaps, fix a chip, straighten) and take calibrated images for planning.
- Health-first check – gums and teeth must be healthy; we address any needed cleaning, repair, or bite balance before cosmetics for results that last.
- Option pathways – we walk through conservative options first, then more comprehensive choices where appropriate.
- Written plan – you’ll get clear estimates, timelines, and next steps you can book right away or phase over time.
Actionable step: Bring a wish list (shade, shape, alignment) and event dates (wedding, graduation, job start) so we can design the timeline around you.
Every smile is different, but these rules of thumb will help you see what fits.
Whitening: lift the shade, refine the glow
Best for: overall brightness and stain removal (coffee, tea, wine); perfect first step before bonding or veneers.
How it works: custom trays or in-office options with measured gel strength; we tailor the program to your tooth sensitivity and targets.
Timeline: days to a few weeks; plan a final shade check 1–2 weeks before any bonding/veneer work.
Cost factors: take-home vs. in-office systems, number of gel refills, sensitivity management.
Why it matters: a lighter base shade lets you use less material in later steps and often reduces the need for more invasive treatment.
Cosmetic Bonding: quick fixes with minimal drilling
Best for: chips, worn edges, small gaps, minor shape tweaks.
How it works: we sculpt tooth-colored composite directly on the tooth, then polish for a natural blend.
Timeline: typically one visit.
Longevity: many years with good care; may need polishing or touch-ups over time.
Cost factors: number of teeth, complexity (edge lengthening vs. full-face recontour).
Why patients choose it: conservative and cost-effective; great for event deadlines.
Veneers: durable shape + shade change
Best for: multiple concerns at once—color that doesn’t respond to whitening, uneven shapes, small rotations, or spacing.
How it works: ultra-thin porcelain bonded to the front of teeth; we design shape and shade to look balanced and natural.
Timeline: usually 2–3 visits (planning, try-in, placement).
Longevity: long service life with proper care and bite protection.
Cost factors: number of veneers, materials, laboratory artistry.
Why patients choose it: predictable esthetics and durability with minimal maintenance.
Clear Aligners: straighten discreetly, then fine-tune
Best for: crowding, spacing, or bite refinements you want to handle without braces.
How it works: a series of removable trays gradually straightens teeth; we often whiten during treatment and finish with bonding for micro-tweaks.
Timeline: months, depending on case complexity; great combined with whitening for a comprehensive yet non-invasive makeover.
Cost factors: treatment length, attachments, refinements.
Why patients choose it: subtle day-to-day change that unlocks a more balanced smile.
Order makes a difference in cost, time, and final result. We recommend:
- Whitening first – sets the canvas; bonding/veneers are matched to your new shade.
- Alignment next (if needed) – aligners can reduce how much shaping or material is required later.
- Bonding or veneers – finish with edge symmetry, shape, and proportions.
- Polish & protect – custom nightguard if you clench; touch-up whitening plan for events.
This health-to-esthetic flow means less drilling, fewer surprises, and results that last.
Cosmetic dentistry is usually not covered by standard plans, and CDCP focuses on essential care rather than appearance-only treatments. That’s why we keep money conversations simple:
- Written estimates before you decide
- Line-by-line explanations of what affects the fee (materials, lab work, number of teeth, complexity)
- Phased plans so you can pace investment—for example, whitening now, bonding next, veneers later
- Pre-determinations for any medically necessary components (when applicable)
- Payment options that keep planning straightforward
Transparent pricing lets you choose confidently—no surprises on appointment day.
Many cosmetic decisions are event-driven. We’ll help you hit your date without stress.
- Whitening: days to a few weeks (allow a week for shade to “settle”)
- Bonding: typically one visit
- Veneers: 2–3 visits over 2–4 weeks
- Clear aligners: several months; we can plan whitening during treatment and bonding at the end
- Photo-ready buffer: aim to finish two weeks before your event for adjustments and polish
If time is tight, we’ll propose a time-boxed plan—often whitening + bonding now, with aligners or veneers scheduled later.
Great cosmetic work should feel good and age well.
- Comfort-first appointments: topical numbing before local anesthesia (when needed), calm pacing, clear communication.
- Home care that protects your results: non-abrasive whitening toothpaste, floss or water flosser, and nightguard if you clench.
- Check-ins: brief follow-ups to polish, fine-tune bite, and update photos so we track how things are holding up.
Durability by design: we pair materials with your bite forces and habits to keep chips and wear to a minimum.

FAQs
Yes. Our design process favors subtle improvements in shade, shape, and proportion. We avoid overly uniform shapes and ultra-white shades unless you request them.
Absolutely. Many patients start with whitening alone and are thrilled. If you want more symmetry or edge length later, bonding is an easy next step.
