A cosmetic dentist is someone who performs any dental work that improves the aesthetic appearance of the teeth, gums, and bite without the goal of improving their overall function. Cosmetic procedures are usually voluntary and may not be covered by insurance companies. Charles P. Debbane, DDS and Laura M. Arnold, DDS in Hamilton, OH, specialize in general and cosmetic dentistry.

Below, the dentists list a few procedures commonly performed by cosmetic dentists:

  • Dental Veneers: Dental veneers are smooth, porcelain shells made to fit the surface of the teeth. Patients who elect to get veneers do so to improve the shape, color, and length of one or multiple teeth. When creating veneers, dentists typically try to select a color that matches the surrounding teeth or choose a shade that is slightly brighter than the original color of the teeth.
  • Cosmetic DentistTeeth Whitening: Teeth whitening is one of the most commonly requested cosmetic procedures. Thanks to modern technology, tooth whitening procedures can leave you with a brighter, whiter smile after just a couple of hours. There are various methods that your dentist may employ to whiten your teeth. The most common procedure utilizes a whitening gel which is placed on the teeth and then treated with a bright light.
  • Braces & Invisalign: Braces are used to help realign crooked and overcrowded teeth, revealing a straight, even smile. Invisalign is a clear, nearly invisible alternative to braces, which allows patients to achieve the same results as traditional braces, but more discreetly. Traditional braces are not always considered a cosmetic procedure and many forms of insurance will cover them; however, Invisalign is a cosmetic choice and will most likely need to be paid for at the patient’s own expense.
