Cosmetic Dentistry
What Is Cosmetic Dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry is a field of dentistry that focuses on the appearance of your smile rather than its health and function. These dental treatments address cosmetic concerns such as:
Chipped, cracked, and worn teeth can make your smile look unhealthy. Treatments such as veneers or dental crowns can restore the appearance of a damaged or worn tooth to enhance your smile.
Like damaged teeth, stained or discolored teeth can give your smile an unhealthy appearance. Professional teeth whitening can remove stains to brighten your smile. For stains that do not respond to teeth whitening, veneers are a great treatment option.
Misaligned teeth can be addressed through orthodontic treatments like Invisalign. For patients with minor misalignment and gaps, veneers can conceal this issue to enhance the appearance of your smile.
While missing teeth can affect the function of your smile, they can also be a cosmetic concern. Dental implants paired with a custom restoration can fill in the gaps and give you the beautiful smile you have always wanted.
Candidates for Cosmetic Dentistry
Good candidates for cosmetic dentistry treatment at our dental practice in Boerne, TX, include patients:
With cosmetic dental concerns
Cosmetic dentistry is about aesthetics. This means that if your dental concerns impact your oral health or function, you may need restorative or general dentistry treatments instead of cosmetic procedures.
In good oral health
Before you can undergo cosmetic treatment with our cosmetic dentist, you must be in good oral health. This is to ensure a healthy foundation for your cosmetic dentistry treatments so your new smile lasts for years to come.
Who are ready to invest in their smile
Because cosmetic dentistry treatments are not considered medical, dental insurance plans will not cover them. Patients must also be dedicated to maintaining good oral health to maintain their new smiles.

Porcelain Veneers
Veneers are thin porcelain shells that fit over the front surface of a tooth to conceal cosmetic imperfections such as cracks, chips, misalignment, and stains that do not respond to teeth whitening.
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening treatments by our skilled dentist can remove stains and discoloration in as little as one to two appointments to dramatically whiten your smile. Our Boerne dentistry practice also offers professional take-home whitening so you can brighten your smile from the comfort of your own home.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that support restorations such as dental crowns, dental bridges, and dentures to replace missing teeth. While this treatment is often considered a restorative dentistry procedure, it can also be considered cosmetic and combined with other treatments to enhance the appearance of your smile.
Orthodontics
Orthodontic treatment can address minor misalignment as well as issues that can impact your oral health and function. We offer several options to fit your needs, including Invisalign®, short-term orthodontics, and interceptive orthodontics.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
A tooth-colored filling replaces decayed dental tissue in a way that looks completely natural. If you have old silver fillings, we can replace them with tooth-colored fillings for a more attractive restoration.
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are tooth-shaped caps that are traditionally considered a restorative treatment. They are frequently used to cover and protect teeth following treatment such as a root canal. However, if you have deep stains or a tooth that is significantly misshapen, a crown can be used to achieve a cosmetic upgrade.
