Our Most Popular Cosmetic Dentistry Treatments
Professional Teeth Whitening
Coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco, aging, and everyday habits can gradually dull your smile. Professional teeth whitening can safely lift many common stains and help your smile look noticeably brighter.
We offer whitening options designed around your preferences, schedule, and desired results. Compared with over-the-counter products, professional whitening provides stronger, more predictable results under the supervision of an experienced dental team.
Benefits of professional whitening may include:
- Noticeably brighter teeth
- Fast results with in-office treatment
- Professional oversight to help reduce sensitivity
- More consistent whitening than many store-bought products
- A treatment plan customized to your smile

Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made restorations placed over the front surfaces of selected teeth. They can improve several cosmetic concerns at once and create a more balanced, symmetrical smile.
Veneers may be recommended for improving:
- Chipped or cracked teeth
- Deep stains or discoloration
- Small gaps between teeth
- Mildly uneven or irregular teeth
- Worn or misshapen teeth
- Minor alignment concerns
Each veneer is designed to complement your facial features, surrounding teeth, and desired shade. Our goal is to enhance your smile without making the result look artificial or overdone.

Composite Dental Bonding
Composite bonding is a conservative and affordable way to improve small cosmetic imperfections. A tooth-colored resin is applied, shaped, and polished to blend naturally with the surrounding tooth structure.
Bonding can often be completed in a single appointment and may be used to repair chips, close small gaps, improve uneven edges, or conceal localized discoloration.
Patients often choose bonding because it is:
- Completed quickly in many cases
- Minimally invasive
- More affordable than some other cosmetic treatments
- Customized to match the surrounding teeth
- Useful for correcting several minor concerns

Invisalign Clear Aligners
If crooked, crowded, or unevenly spaced teeth are affecting your confidence, Invisalign clear aligners may provide a discreet way to improve your smile. The removable aligners gradually guide the teeth into better positions without traditional metal brackets and wires.
Because the aligners are removable, patients can continue brushing, flossing, eating, and attending special occasions with fewer interruptions to their daily routines.

Is Cosmetic Dentistry Right for You?
Cosmetic dentistry may be appropriate if you are unhappy with the color, shape, spacing, alignment, or overall appearance of your teeth. Before recommending treatment, we will also evaluate your oral health to make sure your teeth and gums are healthy enough for cosmetic care.
You may be a good candidate if you:
- Have realistic expectations for your treatment
- Want to improve one or more visible smile concerns
- Maintain healthy teeth and gums
- Are willing to follow recommended home-care instructions
- Would like a treatment plan customized to your appearance and goals
If decay, gum disease, damaged teeth, or missing teeth are affecting your smile, we may recommend addressing those concerns first through restorative dentistry or dental implant treatment.
What to Expect During Your Cosmetic Consultation
Your consultation is an opportunity to discuss what you like and dislike about your smile. We will carefully examine your teeth, gums, bite, and overall facial balance before recommending treatment.
Your visit may include:
- A discussion of your cosmetic goals and priorities
- An examination of your teeth and gums
- Digital photographs or scans when appropriate
- A review of possible treatment options
- An explanation of the expected timeline and maintenance
- A personalized treatment plan based on your needs
Some patients achieve their desired results with one procedure, while others benefit from combining several treatments into a customized smile makeover.
Complete Smile Makeovers
A smile makeover combines multiple cosmetic and restorative treatments to address several concerns at once. Depending on your needs, your plan may include whitening, veneers, bonding, Invisalign, crowns, implants, or other services.
By planning these treatments together, Dr. Schaefer and Dr. Malone can create a coordinated result that improves both the appearance and function of your smile.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cosmetic Dentistry
How do I know which cosmetic treatment I need?
The best treatment depends on what you would like to change, the condition of your teeth and gums, your timeline, and your budget. During your consultation, we will compare your options and help you choose a plan that fits your goals.
How long do cosmetic dentistry results last?
The lifespan of treatment varies. Whitening may require occasional touch-ups, while veneers, bonding, crowns, and other restorations can last for years with proper care. Regular dental visits and good oral hygiene help protect your results.
Will my results look natural?
Yes. Our cosmetic treatments are carefully planned to complement your facial features, tooth proportions, smile line, and surrounding teeth. The goal is to enhance your appearance while keeping the result balanced and natural.
Can several cosmetic treatments be combined?
Yes. Many patients combine treatments such as whitening, bonding, veneers, Invisalign, or crowns as part of a complete smile makeover. We will help coordinate the sequence of care for the best possible outcome.
Is cosmetic dentistry only about appearance?
Although cosmetic dentistry focuses on appearance, some treatments can also improve function. For example, replacing missing teeth, repairing damaged teeth, or improving alignment may support better chewing, speech, and oral health.
