Veneers
If you admire your favorite Hollywood star’s smile, you can achieve a similar look with customized veneers. Dr. Parry’s expertise in the field of cosmetic dentistry allows him to deliver stunning results using 3D printed direct resin veneers – a faster, more affordable, and remarkably lifelike solution. These restorations can conceal multiple flaws at once, including stains, cracks, gaps, etc., and can last 10-15 years with the right level of care.
Metal-Free Restorations
Older guests might think of crowns and fillings as being made of metal, but nowadays, that doesn’t have to be the case. The appearance and function of your smile can be completely restored with restorations made from tooth-colored ceramic or composite resin. These materials can perfectly mimic tooth enamel to the point where they even reflect light the same way. Thanks to the durability of these restorations, you can enjoy your new, natural-looking smile for many years before replacements are needed.
Clear Aligners
If you want to straighten your teeth but avoid unsightly, bulky traditional braces, we can help by offering clear aligners. As a preferred alternative to metal brackets and wires, these custom trays fit snugly in place and shift your teeth using gentle, continuous pressure. Their discreet appearance and easy-to-use system allow you to undergo orthodontic treatment without worrying about your braces getting in the way while you eat, speak, and simply live your life. Also, with clear aligners, you can (typically) see results much faster than if you were to wear regular braces.

KoR Teeth Whitening Kits
Have you been getting less-than-stellar results using typical over-the-counter whitening products? The KoR teeth whitening system is unique in that it can restore the teeth’s ability to absorb oxygen, which helps erase stain molecules that have penetrated the enamel. You can achieve professional whitening results from the comfort of home with one of our take-home KoR whitening kits. Within just a few weeks, you’ll be showing off a dazzling smile!

Direct Bonding
Maybe you don’t need an entire smile makeover, but there are a few imperfections on one or two teeth that you want to address. A small amount of composite resin can fix small cracks and hide minor discoloration; it can also increase the size of a tooth and close smaller gaps. Bonding normally takes between 30 and 60 minutes to complete, and the procedure is so simple that there’s normally no need to numb your mouth beforehand or schedule additional appointments.

Gum Recontouring & Crown Lengthening
Have you ever heard of a “gummy smile?” It’s what happens when there’s an excessive amount of gum tissue when you pull back your lips, leaving your teeth looking shorter than they should. With a soft tissue laser, we can remove the extra tissue and shape the gumline as needed. This procedure is called “gum recontouring,” and it can help your teeth stand out to create a dazzling smile. A similar procedure called “crown lengthening” is used to make room for dental restorations.
Smile Makeovers
While individual cosmetic dentistry services can certainly achieve a lot, sometimes the best approach is to combine two or more procedures. This allows patients to address various aesthetic concerns more efficiently, as Dr. Parry and our team can design and apply a plan that allows someone to get the look they want in fewer appointments compared to doing treatments one at a time.

Virtual Smile Design
Virtual Smile Design software gives you a preview of how veneers, teeth whitening, or other cosmetic procedures will transform your smile. Using special software, we can adjust digital pictures of your teeth to simulate specific treatments. You can take these pictures home with you and show them to your family. With this technology, you can plan carefully and figure out which treatments are best for you.
Understanding the Cost of Cosmetic Dentistry
It doesn't have to cost you an arm or a leg to improve your smile. Many factors affect the cost of cosmetic dentistry, but Dr. Parry strives to keep a stunning smile within everyone's budget. He will create a personalized plan to revamp your pearly whites without breaking the bank.
Which Cosmetic Dental Service Is Right for Me?
There's no cookie-cutter treatment for a picture-perfect smile because every mouth and situation is unique. Dr. Parry will examine your mouth and learn more about your goals to determine which procedures are right for you, including:
- Veneers: Bonding veneers to visible teeth when smiling corrects many issues at once. You can save time and money using a minimally invasive procedure when treating stains, chips, and gaps.
- Metal-Free Dental Restorations: All-ceramic materials are used to create restorations that look natural. They are durable and biocompatible.
- Direct Bonding: A composite resin is shaded to match the color of your enamel to blend in with your tooth. Bonding can fix minor issues quickly using an affordable solution.
- Clear Aligners: Clear aligners are worn over your teeth to fix bite and alignment problems with no brackets and wires.
- KoR Teeth Whitening: Age-related and surface stains can be improved by up to 8 shades using a professional whitening system like KoR whitening kits.
Cosmetic Dentistry Can Be an Investment Worth Making
You can't put a price on the benefits of having a stunning smile. You'll boost your self-esteem and enhance your professional image. A person with an attractive smile is attributed to youth, success, and intelligence. You'll ensure your teeth are giving the right impression, which can lead to new career opportunities.
Fixing certain aesthetic flaws can also improve your oral health. You'll invest in healthy teeth and gums to lower your overall dental expenses.

Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs
Is Cosmetic Dentistry Expensive?
Many people associate cosmetic dentistry with expensive treatments. This is likely because dental insurance rarely covers cosmetic treatments, so you will typically need to pay out of pocket. Improving your smile might seem expensive at first, but you need to consider the investment you’re making in your self-esteem, confidence, and quality of life.
How Long Does Cosmetic Dentistry Last?
The lifespan of your results will vary depending on which treatments you are undergoing. Some last longer than others. Quick, easy treatments, like teeth whitening and direct bonding, tend not to last as long as more extensive treatments, like veneers. Some services, like gum recontouring, almost always produce permanent results. Orthodontic treatment, like Invisalign, can potentially last a lifetime as long as you continue to wear your retainer. Generally, the better you care for your smile, the longer you can expect your results to last.
Does Cosmetic Dentistry Hurt?
Many patients are hesitant to commit to treatment because they are worried about the procedure being painful. We do everything we can to ensure that you are comfortable from start to finish. Most cosmetic services are non-invasive. Bonding and whitening shouldn’t even require a local anesthetic. For treatments like veneers, where your tooth needs to be reshaped, the area will be numbed with a local anesthetic. We also offer a couple of sedation options that can help patients feel extra relaxed. You might experience some residual soreness, but this should be mild and temporary.
Why Is Cosmetic Dentistry So Popular?
For most of the history of dentistry, the focus has been on preventing and treating dental problems. However, in the last few decades, modern techniques, technology, and knowledge have led to most people having better dental health. This gives more people the option to focus on the appearance of their teeth instead of just repairing damage. Cosmetic treatments have become more affordable as well, giving more people access to the services they desire.
