Veneers
With veneers, you can achieve the same picture-perfect smile as your favorite celebrity. We can place one or more thin shells of dental porcelain over any flawed teeth to create a perfectly balanced and attractive appearance you’ll love to show off. Even better, you’ll be able to enjoy your final results after just two comfortable appointments, after which your veneers can be trusted to last about 15-20 years.
Metal-Free Restorations
Today’s dental restorations, as in crowns and fillings, can do much more than repair damaged teeth. Made from the highest quality and most natural-looking materials, we can also use them to address cosmetic problems like chips, cracks, and permanent stains. Here, they cannot only strengthen teeth—they can also help someone achieve their ideal smile.
Cosmetic Bonding
Cosmetic bonding is the perfect solution for minor chips, stains, and gaps. Dr. Smith will apply some color-matched composite resin to your flawed tooth, and she’ll literally sculpt it to perfection. From there, the resin is dried, refined, and smoothed. In about an hour or less, your tooth will look brand new!
Tooth Reshaping
Tooth reshaping, or dental contouring, is a quick and easy solution for minor problems such as chipped or uneven teeth. Because it is performed in a single session, many patients prefer dental contouring to other more complicated procedures. During the procedure, we shave small areas of the tooth’s enamel away. The results can be dramatic and the rewards instant; after just one visit, patients leave feeling more confident and comfortable with a straighter, more even smile.
Teeth Whitening
Over-the-counter whitening products are everywhere, and for most people, they simply can’t give them the results they want. At Dental Health & Wellness Boston, we offer both in-office and take-home whitening that is stronger, safer, and more effective than anything you’ll find at the store. No matter which one you choose, a smile that is eight to ten shades brighter is guaranteed.
Gum Recontouring
Did you know that the appearance of your gums matters just as much as your teeth when it comes to the overall look of the smile? By slightly reshaping the gums, we can help the teeth appear longer, fuller, and more balanced in relation to the face, leading to a better, more radiant you. This procedure can usually be completed in a single appointment, and once we’re done, the results are permanent.
Smile Design
Before you decide to get a cosmetic procedure with us, we’ll use in-house technology to show you what your results will look like. That way, you can have the right expectations heading into treatment, plus you can ask for adjustments before we’ve even touched your teeth. So, you can design your perfect look right alongside Dr. Smith and know that it’s exactly what you’re getting.
Cosmetic Dentistry for Men
The way you look can impact your career, your love life, and your self-esteem regardless of gender. Concerned about their health and appearance, men of all ages seek out ways to look better, and their smile is no exception. There are a variety of options in cosmetic dentistry that will improve a man’s smile. Designing a smile that fits a person’s face and personality is very important, especially in men. The male facial features such as a prominent square jawline or shape of the nose all help to determine the shape and length of the teeth. Some men look best with a more square shape to their teeth, or a little more prominent canine tooth.

Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs
How Do I Know If I Need Cosmetic Dentistry?
Seeing a cosmetic dentist in Boston for treatment is a good first step, especially if you are unhappy with the way your smile looks. However, the only way you can determine if any of the available services at our dental office are right for you is to schedule a consultation with a member of our team.
While almost anyone can benefit from these types of treatment, some instances require preliminary services to address poor oral health, such as gum disease treatment, tooth extraction, etc.
When examining your smile, we’ll determine if you have any of the following and, if so, we’ll suggest which treatment options you prefer to move forward with:
- Stained or discolored teeth
- Chipped or cracked teeth
- Misshapen teeth
- Minor misalignment
Does Cosmetic Dentistry Hurt?
At Dental Health & Wellness Boston, our dentists go beyond the basics to deliver an experience that leaves you comfortable and at ease throughout your appointment. While it might seem normal to wonder if cosmetic dentistry will hurt, you’ll be pleased to learn that it doesn’t. Instead, depending on the type of service you require, you’ll have your mouth numbed before moving forward.
For example:
- Veneers require a small portion of tooth enamel to be removed, so your mouth will be numb.
- Teeth whitening and cosmetic bonding are unlikely to require any kind of local anesthesia.
No matter what type of service your dentist recommends, you can trust that you will remain completely at ease from start to finish.
Is Cosmetic Dentistry Expensive?
Since dental insurance companies do not typically cover the cost of cosmetic dentistry, many people assume these services are unaffordable. This is no longer true. While cosmetic care can be expensive, it depends on the type of treatment you choose and how extensive it is.
Cosmetic bonding is generally much less expensive than custom veneers, and gum recontouring only has to be completed once in your life. Also, professional teeth whitening may be costlier than over-the-counter solutions, but you’ll experience a safer experience and enjoy brighter, more beautiful results.
At Dental Health & Wellness Boston, our dentists partner with CareCredit to help lower out-of-pocket costs. Instead of being forced to empty your savings account, you can choose from one of their many low or no-interest payment plan options that range from 6-12 months, so you can pay it back over time.
How Can Cosmetic Dentistry Change Your Life?
Improvements in your physical appearance are obvious; however, cosmetic dentistry does more than help you feel more attractive when looking at yourself in the mirror. It also:
- Boosts your mental and emotional well-being, as you begin to think and speak to yourself more positively. This impacts all aspects of your life, including work, relationships, etc.
- Improves your oral and overall health by helping you see first-hand the benefits of a healthy, beautiful smile. This, in turn, can help you identify ways to take better care of your smile and as a result, your body as well.
- Give you a greater chance to make a good first impression, which can play in your favor when applying for a job or meeting someone new for a date.
