Reclaim Your Beautiful, Confident Smile with Cosmetic Dentistry

Our Cosmetic Dental Care Services

One of the easiest ways to achieve your dream smile is by using professional teeth whitening. This is a powerful and proven whitening treatment that lasts. While several teeth whitening methods exist, our office uses KöR® whitening to eliminate tooth stains with little to no tooth sensitivity. 

Are you tired of over-the-counter whitening that barely makes a difference, or fades after a few weeks? KöR whitening is one of the most effective professional whitening systems available. It tackles even deep intrinsic stains caused by age, medications, or years of coffee and wine.

Why patients love KöR:

  • Dramatically whiter results—up to 16 shades brighter
  • Little to no sensitivity
  • Long-lasting brightness with easy at-home maintenance
  • Works when other treatments don’t

Whether you’re prepping for a big event or simply want to refresh your smile, KöR delivers the kind of noticeable, natural white smile you are wanting. When done professionally, teeth whitening eliminates unsightly tooth stains to reveal a bright-looking smile.

Also known as, beauty without the bulk. This treatment allows you to upgrade your smile without drastically altering your natural teeth. Prepless and minimal prep veneers are ultra-thin porcelain shells that require little to no removal of enamel.
They’re ideal for:

  • Small gaps or uneven edges
  • Discoloration or worn enamel
  • Minor crowding or asymmetry
  • Patients looking for a reversible option

Our custom veneers are crafted to mimic the natural translucency and brightness of real teeth. You won’t find bulky or fake-looking results here, Instead you can expect balanced, bright, and natural-looking improvements.
We love porcelain veneers because of their versatility in correcting numerous smile imperfections, including stained, chipped, uneven, and gapped teeth. Porcelain veneers are also durable and stain-resistant, ensuring your smile keeps looking bright for 10-plus years.

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped appliance that covers your entire tooth to enhance its function and appearance. Our office uses porcelain crowns to create a life-looking and fully functioning smile. Like porcelain veneers, porcelain crowns are long-lasting and stain-resistant to help achieve durable aesthetics and oral function.

Crowns aren’t just for fixing broken teeth, rather they are where strength meets aesthetics because they play a big role in cosmetic dentistry. Whether you’re replacing old metal crowns or restoring a front tooth, we use top-tier materials to match your smile’s natural look and feel.


We offer:

  • E.max (Lithium Disilicate): This is a strong and beautifully translucent option that’s ideal for front teeth
  • Zirconia: It is ultra-durable and great for high-stress areas like molars
  • Feldspathic Porcelain: Hand-layered and incredibly lifelike for the most detailed aesthetic cases
  • We’ll help you choose the right option based on your bite, location of the tooth, and cosmetic goals. All of our crowns are designed digitally for precision, fit, and longevity.

We correct misaligned smiles in our office using clear and removable aligners. Many patients love Invisalign because it’s discreet and convenient. Besides, it’s usually faster than traditional braces for most cases when used as directed by Dr. Richard D’Avanzo.

Creating clear and comfortable orthodontics for Adults. If you’ve been putting off straightening your teeth because braces aren’t appealing, Invisalign may be the answer. This clear aligner system gently moves teeth into better alignment, without brackets, wires, or frequent office visits.

Invisalign Treats:

  • Crowding and spacing
  • Bite misalignment
  • Shifting teeth
  • Prepping for veneers or whitening

Most patients wear their aligners 20–22 hours a day and switch to a new set every 1–2 weeks. Thanks to our iTero digital scanner with Outcome Simulator, you’ll be able to preview your future smile before treatment even begins.

Benefits of Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry offers a range of procedures designed to improve the appearance of your teeth, gums, and overall smile. Beyond aesthetics, these treatments can have a significant impact on your confidence and oral health. Let’s explore the many benefits of cosmetic dentistry.

Enhanced Aesthetics

The most obvious benefit of cosmetic dentistry is the improvement in your smile’s appearance. Procedures like teeth whitening, veneers, and bonding can correct discoloration, chips, cracks, gaps between teeth, and misalignments.

Boosted Confidence

A beautiful smile can do wonders for your self-esteem. Many patients report feeling more confident in social situations, which can lead to improved personal and professional relationships.

Improved Oral Health

Certain cosmetic procedures can contribute to better oral health. For example, crowns will protect damaged teeth from further decay. Orthodontics will correct alignment issues, making it easier to clean your teeth and reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease.

Quick and Effective Results

Many cosmetic treatments provide immediate results, allowing you to enjoy your new smile without lengthy wait times. Our office handles all cosmetic and dental care your smile needs so there is no need to travel between multiple offices, saving you time.

Improved Functionality

Cosmetic dentistry is not just about looks; it can also enhance the functionality of your teeth. Correcting alignment issues with orthodontics and restoring damaged teeth with crowns can improve your bite and make eating more comfortable.

Long-Lasting Effects

With proper care, many cosmetic procedures offer long-lasting benefits. For instance, porcelain veneers can last over a decade, while crowns can provide many years of durability. Investing in your smile can pay off for years to come.

With all of these stunning benefits, there is no reason to wait for the smile you have always wanted. Invest in your smile and spend more time with the new confident you. Schedule a consultation today to partake in these lasting cosmetic treatments that will transform your smile.
