What Is Cosmetic Dentistry?
Designed primarily to rejuvenate the appearance of your teeth and gums, cosmetic dentistry has many applications. It can include options like teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, and orthodontics. With help from our team, we can create a personally tailored treatment plan to address all your concerns—and maybe even improve your dental health, too. Cosmetic dentistry can address a range of issues, such as:
Cracked/Chipped Teeth
Stained Teeth
Professional teeth whitening can remove exterior stains in as little as one appointment. Deep stains can be concealed with porcelain veneers.
Misaligned Teeth
Straighten your smile with Invisalign or conceal minor gaps and misalignment with veneers.

Digital Impressions
While we love getting to know all our dentistry patients, we're always looking for ways to streamline their experience and make visits more efficient. Now, we use digital impressions, so that we can more comfortably gather images of your unique smile. After just a few quick dental scans, we have all the precise information that we need.
We Help You Relax With Sedation Dentistry
/
Simply entering the dentist's office can be a major act of courage for many patients. To make it easier for you to pursue the care you've always wanted, we offer sedation dentistry. It allows you to relax both your mind and body for worry-free dental visits.
Covering the Cost of Your Cosmetic Dentistry
Before you commit to a cosmetic plan, we'll thoroughly outline the dental costs you can expect so you can be sure that treatment will stay within your budget. Our caring dentist and team are happy to work with you to ensure your peace of mind from start to finish.
Though cosmetic dental procedures like teeth whitening and porcelain veneers are not covered by insurance, we keep your needs in mind by accepting flexible financing from CareCredit®. You can also use cash, checks, and most major credit cards to pay for all or part of your balance.

Invisalign Has Revolutionized Orthodontics See How It's Done
With Invisalign treatment, our dentist combines effectiveness with discretion. By using a series of personally tailored clear aligners, Invisalign repositions your teeth over time. As you can see, it blends in naturally with your enamel. And, unlike braces, you won't need to have our dentist tighten any brackets.
The Benefits of Invisalign From Our Wasilla Dentistry Practice
Straighter Teeth
The most commonly known benefit of Invisalign is the fact that it straightens your teeth. However, it's a superior option to other orthodontic procedures for several reasons.
A Healthier Smile
If you can't easily brush or floss crooked teeth, it can impact your oral health. Many of our Wasilla patients find that after they finish Invisalign treatment, they are able to improve their at-home dental care.
Manageable Treatment
Traditional braces can be uncomfortable. They're also far more difficult to keep clean. Clear aligners address both of these problems at once. That's because they blend in with your enamel, and because they're removable for meals.
Discreet Orthodontics
When you wear Invisalign clear aligners, no one has to know that you're seeking orthodontic care. They are easily disguised against your natural enamel, allowing you to smile with confidence throughout your treatment.
Dental Crowns Might Be Right for You
The Range of Dental Crowns
Crowns are often considered a restorative dental procedure, but they also have cosmetic benefits. In fact, along with Invisalign, they're among our top two most popular cosmetic procedures. Crowns can improve your tooth's:
Shape
If you have substantial chips, scratches, or cracks on your tooth, you may need reinforcement. Dental crowns fortify your tooth's structure, while also giving it a more uniform shape.
Size
Do you have an undersized tooth? When covered by a custom dental crown, it can easily blend in with the rest of your smile.
Color
Some stains are stubborn. If they do not respond to whitening or if they're paired with additional cosmetic concerns like chips, a dental crown can be an excellent solution.
Frequently Asked Questions About Cosmetic Dentistry
Do cosmetic dentistry treatments hurt?
No. Treatments like teeth whitening are painless. If you need more extensive work on the tooth structure, like veneers or a dental crown, your dentist will numb the area before treatment begins. We also offer sedation dentistry options for those who need an extra level of comfort care.
How much do cosmetic dentistry treatments cost?
This will vary due to a variety of factors. For example, teeth whitening will cost less than veneers or a dental crown. During your initial consultation at our Wasilla office, your dentist will craft a custom treatment plan based on your aesthetic goals. We will then be able to provide you with an accurate quote so you can properly plan and budget for your dental care.
Can I combine treatments to address multiple cosmetic concerns?
Yes. Some people choose to combine multiple treatments to transform their smile. For example, if you need a dental crown, some patients also choose to undergo teeth whitening beforehand to brighten their smile. As long as your mouth is healthy enough, your dentist can craft a custom smile makeover to simultaneously address multiple cosmetic concerns.
What is the difference between a dental crown and a veneer?
A veneer is a thin porcelain shell that fits over the front surface of a tooth to conceal cracks, chips, or stains. A dental crown is also made of porcelain, but it is essentially a cap that fits over the entire tooth. Crowns provide an extra level of protection and are a great option for back teeth, as crowns can handle more pressure than a veneer. Dental crowns are also used following root canal therapy to preserve the tooth structure.
