Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers can help improve the appearance of your smile by fixing cosmetic imperfections. The thin shells fit over your existing teeth to help improve the shape, color and size of your teeth.
They are also a great way to correct chips, cracks, misalignment and gaps. Veneers can also help protect your teeth from further damage because they are as strong as your natural tooth enamel. To learn about our porcelain veneer services, see Porcelain veneers.
Cosmetic Dentures
Cosmetic Dentures are full or partial removable teeth replacements that we make to look natural and lifelike. Our dentists create them to be aesthetically pleasing, but also restore your ability to speak, chew, and smile naturally.
Our team carefully takes impressions of your mouth to build a highly custom denture from various materials such as acrylic, metal alloys, and porcelain. We can use cosmetic dentures in combination with other restorative methods for a more complete dental restoration. To learn more about our cosmetic denture services, see Cosmetic dentures.
Teeth Whitening
Professional whitening at the dentist’s office is a safe and effective method for whitening teeth. The whitening products our dentists use contain stronger levels of whitening agents than those available over-the-counter, allowing for more dramatic results with just one visit.
We can also make sure your teeth and gums are healthy before proceeding with the whitening procedure, reducing the possibility of any sensitivity or irritation. To learn about our cost-effective teeth whitening services, see Teeth whitening.
Now that you know more about our cosmetic dental services, you can make an informed decision. From changing the color of your teeth to addressing uneven and cosmetically damaged teeth, our cosmetic dentists can help address your needs. Chipped, cracked, or worn teeth are not only signs of a possible bite problem but can lead to additional dental problems, and even tooth loss.
Dr. Lazer tailors his dental care to the unique needs of each patient with the goal of providing lasting results and long-term oral health and wellness. Making the decision to improve your smile is an excellent way to raise your confidence and even look younger.

Frequently Asked Questions
We have answers for some of our patients’ most frequently asked questions about cosmetic dentistry.
Does dental insurance cover cosmetic procedures?
Dental insurance usually doesn’t cover cosmetic procedures, like teeth whitening or veneers. They don’t consider them medically necessary. However, insurance might cover part of the cost if a procedure has cosmetic and restorative benefits. Bonding to repair a chipped tooth is a great example of a cosmetic procedure they might consider covering part of. It’s always important to check with your insurance provider to see what they cover under your plan.
Can cosmetic dentistry fix gaps between teeth?
Cosmetic dentistry offers several solutions for gaps between teeth. Dental bonding can close small gaps quickly. Veneers work well for larger spaces, giving a uniform look. For wider gaps, orthodontics, like braces or clear aligners, might be best.
We’ll recommend the most suitable option based on the gap size and your overall dental health. Each procedure has its pros and cons regarding cost, durability, and treatment time.
Are porcelain veneers permanent?
Yes, porcelain veneers are considered a permanent solution. The dentist must remove a small amount of enamel from your natural teeth to place them. This means you’ll always need veneers or another type of covering. Veneers are durable and can last 10 to 15 years or longer with proper care. However, they are not reversible because of the enamel removal process. Regular dental care and avoiding habits like biting hard objects can help extend their lifespan.
What is the difference between cosmetic dentures and regular dentures?
Cosmetic dentures focus on providing a natural, lifelike appearance. They use high-quality materials to mimic real teeth and gums and are customized to fit your facial structure and smile. Regular dentures, on the other hand, prioritize function and may not offer the same level of realism or comfort. While both types restore function, cosmetic dentures aim to look and feel more natural.
Can yellow teeth become white again?
Yes, yellow teeth can become white again. Professional, in-office teeth whitening treatments are highly effective at removing stains and brightening your smile. Over-the-counter whitening products can also help, though they might not be as strong. In some cases, veneers or bonding can cover stubborn discoloration. Regular dental cleanings and oral hygiene also play an important role in keeping your teeth white.
How many shades lighter can my teeth become with professional whitening?
With professional whitening, your teeth can become up to eight to twelve shades lighter. The exact result depends on your original tooth color and the type of stains. In-office treatments often provide the most dramatic improvement. We will examine your teeth and discuss the potential results to help you achieve a brighter smile.
