Many patients dream about a bright, healthy smile but feel cosmetic dentistry is a luxury. On the contrary, feeling good about your smile is essential to your well-being.
Cosmetic dentistry can impact not only how you look but also how you feel about yourself. Patients unhappy with their teeth may smile less, leading to lower self-esteem. They may give others a mistaken impression of their character and personality.

Procedures We Offer
Invisalign
Invisalign® is an advanced orthodontic treatment system. It uses clear medical-grade plastic aligners to move teeth into optimal positions. The system can correct crooked, crossed, or gapped teeth.
The patient only needs to wear each aligner for 20-22 hours daily and change them every one to two weeks at the dentist's direction. Excellent oral hygiene is a must.
Teeth Whitening
Most patients experience yellow or stained teeth during adulthood. Food and beverages, medications, and natural aging may cause teeth to turn yellow.
Dr. Todd uses Opalescence®, a powerful whitening system that can remove years of stains in just one or two office visits. For a more gradual effect, you can whiten your teeth professionally at home.
Microabrasion
Microabrasion polishes away minor yellowing and stains with a gritty yet safe substance.
Veneers
A veneer is a wafer-thin sheet of porcelain that can cover multiple aesthetic flaws. Gaps, stains, chips, and cracks disappear under veneers.
Cosmetic Bonding
Your dentist can repair chipped, cracked, stained, or misshapen teeth with cosmetic bonding. A safe resin bonds with your tooth for a natural look.
Crowns
Crowns repair broken, decayed, or discolored teeth. A crown can improve your smile's appearance and function simultaneously.
Bridges
A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth, creating a functional and aesthetically pleasing smile.
Dental Implants
A dental implant replaces the tooth's root and crown, improving not only appearance but also oral health.
Smile Makeovers
Dr. Todd can create a smile makeover plan if you need more than one cosmetic procedure. Make an appointment today to discuss combining procedures to revive your smile.
Feeling Great About Your Smile
After your cosmetic work, you will want to share your brilliant smile with everyone you meet. Others will appreciate your positive outlook, and you may attract extra opportunities.
Frequently Asked Questions About Cosmetic Dentistry
Can I whiten my teeth using over-the-counter products?
Products found at the pharmacy are usually safe but take many applications to give results comparable to professional whitening. On the other hand, some whitening products purchased online can be too strong, causing gum burns and sensitivity issues. Professional whitening is the optimal choice.
How do I keep my bonded teeth looking their best?
Bonding material stains more than natural tooth enamel, so practicing excellent oral hygiene is wise. Avoid biting non-food objects like pens or ice and using your teeth as tools.
