Cosmetic Dentistry
Is there anything about the look of your teeth or gums that prevents you from smiling confidently? Cosmetic dentistry has the solution you need because it includes dental treatments that improve your smile’s aesthetics. Whether you want to hide a broken tooth with veneers or brighten your smile with teeth whitening, we can help you achieve a smile you're proud to share.
How Cosmetic Dentistry Improves Your Smile
Do any of the following cosmetic dental concerns hold you back?
- Broken teeth
- Chipped teeth
- Mildly crooked teeth
- Worn or uneven teeth
- Wide gaps or spacing
- Misshapen teeth
- Tooth stains or discoloration
- Teeth that appear too short
We want you to be delighted with your new smile, so we use highly-respected custom dental labs, premium materials, and the latest technology for your makeover.
Cosmetic Dental Treatments We Offer
You may have a single smile flaw or several that require a more comprehensive makeover. When you meet with one of our cosmetic dentists, they will take the time to learn about your aesthetic goals and recommend the appropriate treatment to help you achieve your dream smile.
In-Office and Take-Home Teeth Whitening
We offer in-office teeth whitening and custom take-home kits so you can choose the most convenient option for your busy schedule. In-office whitening produces brilliant results in about an hour. Use our custom take-home kits for about two weeks in the comfort of your home to see a dramatic difference in the whiteness and brightness of your smile.
Dental Veneers
Veneers are super-thin shells of ceramic customized to cover the front surface of a tooth to improve its appearance. We commonly use veneers to mask aesthetic flaws like chipped or cracked teeth, wide gaps, discoloration, and slight misalignment.
You can choose a single veneer to cover a problematic tooth or an entire set to improve the appearance of all teeth that show when you smile. Since we customize your veneers to match your smile perfectly, no one will know they're there!
Porcelain Dental Crowns
Dental crowns, or “caps,” surround and cover a tooth. Because of the protection they offer, we commonly use crowns to restore and strengthen damaged teeth; however, crowns can also conceal discolored or poorly-shaped teeth.
Our crowns are customized by top-rated custom dental labs that use only the highest quality materials like porcelain and zirconia.
Getting Started with Cosmetic Dentistry
Do you already know what smile improvements you'd like to see? Or do you know you want a change but aren’t sure what treatments are appropriate?
In either case, our cosmetic dentists will work with you to understand your goals and make treatment recommendations. Our goal is to create a subtle change that makes a dramatic difference to your smile's appearance. When friends and family see you, we want them to notice you and your beautiful smile, not your dental work!

Frequently Asked Questions
A full smile makeover combines cosmetic and restorative dental procedures to improve your smile’s function and appearance. Your smile is unique, so the procedures we recommend will depend on your dental needs, goals, and preferences.
Getting Started
The first step is to schedule an appointment with Dr. Fontenot so he can evaluate your oral health. He will customize your treatment plan according to your needs and may recommend one or more of the following services:
- Teeth whitening is the most popular cosmetic dental treatment because it removes tooth stains and discoloration and gives you a dramatically brighter smile. We offer both in-office whitening and custom take-home trays.
- Dental bonding involves the application of tooth-colored composite resin to a tooth to improve its shape, size, or shade. We commonly recommend bonding to address gaps and chipped, cracked, or misshapen teeth.
- Veneers are ultra-thin shells of porcelain or composite resin bonded to the front surface of teeth to improve a tooth’s appearance.
- Invisalign clear aligners and Six Month Smiles braces straighten misaligned teeth, address overcrowding, and correct overbites and underbites.
- Dental crowns can be used to restore a decayed or broken tooth or to improve the appearance of a tooth that’s misshapen or discolored.
We Offer Full Smile Makeovers
A full smile makeover restores your oral health, improves chewing comfort and function, and enhances your smile’s appearance. You will also feel renewed confidence, knowing that your smile is healthy and looks great.
