Porcelain Veneers & Lumineers
Want your smile to look as perfect as the ones you see on TV or in movies? If so, you can now get the same treatments as your favorite stars! Porcelain veneers and Lumineers involve placing extremely thin ceramic shells on the front of the teeth to give them a more uniform and attractive appearance. The only difference is that Lumineers are slightly thinner than veneers, meaning they can be placed onto the teeth without the enamel needing to be slightly reshaped. With either treatment, they can deliver a dramatic cosmetic improvement in as little as two appointments.
Metal-Free Dental Crowns
Metal-free crowns offer the very best when it comes to both restorative and cosmetic dentistry with a single treatment. Made of 100% white ceramic, they allow our team to fully repair extremely damaged teeth, but they also look just like real enamel. Once in place, the only people who will be able to tell which tooth is topped with a crown and which are your own will be you and your dentist!
Cosmetic Dental Bonding
If you have an hour, then you have plenty of time to get rid of a minor stain, chip, or gap in your teeth. This treatment involves applying a color-matched composite resin to an imperfect tooth, and this allows the dentist to reshape and improve the overall appearance of the enamel. The material is then hardened with a curing light, and that’s it! After that, the results should last for about 10 years.
Teeth Whitening
Coffee, wine, tobacco use, and even aging can all leave their mark on your smile in the form of dark stains and discoloration, but fortunately, they don’t have to be permanent. Our professional strength whitening services can practically turn back the clock for your teeth by making them six to eight shades brighter with a single treatment.

Gum Recontouring
Does your gum line always overshadow your teeth when you smile? Do your teeth look really small as a result? With gum recontouring, we can painlessly remove any excess gum tissue to reveal previously hidden enamel, instantly making the teeth appear longer, fuller, and more attractive. This treatment only takes one appointment, and you’ll be able to enjoy the results right away. It can also be used to help prepare your teeth to get porcelain veneers, Lumineers, or a metal-free crown.
Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs
How do I know if I need cosmetic dentistry?
Many people wanting to enhance their smiles feel unsure whether they’re a good candidate for cosmetic dentistry. Potentially, anyone who is unhappy with the way their teeth or gums look can benefit from one or more of these procedures, but you must consult one of our providers in Collinsville before proceeding.
Our team will take the time to discuss your concerns and aesthetic goals, then examine your teeth and gums to recommend appropriate services to help meet your individual needs based on our discussion and findings.
Are cosmetic dental services safe?
If you’re worried that upgrading your grin with cosmetic dental services means you’re exchanging your dental health to improve your appearance, you can thankfully set your fears aside. Our team is happy to help boost your confidence, but your oral well-being remains our top priority.
Cosmetic dental procedures are considered safe for most people when provided by a qualified dentist, like one of our Collinsville providers. Plus, we’ll examine your mouth to address any pre-existing concerns, such as cavities or gum disease, that could interfere with the results, so your teeth are as healthy as they are beautiful after treatment.
Is cosmetic dentistry expensive?
Many dental insurance policies don’t cover the cost of treatments intended to improve your looks more than your oral health, such as cosmetic procedures. As a result, you might assume that these services are already priced outside of your budget.
But thanks to advancements in dental technology and materials, these procedures are more accessible to more people than ever before. Not only that, but our team offers multiple treatment options at varying price points, so you’re more likely to find affordable services. If you’re still worried about the cost, you might consider joining our in-house membership program, which offers discounts on the different procedures we offer. You could also be approved for a flexible payment plan through CareCredit, which allows you to divide your total invoice into more manageable installments.
How can I help maintain my cosmetic dental results?
Once you’ve finally achieved the flawlessly beautiful smile you’ve always dreamed of, you’re likely going to want to do everything you can to help maintain the results. There are several ways you can preserve your recent upgrades, including:
- Implementing a consistent at-home dental hygiene routine. Brushing and flossing twice daily removes plaque and bacteria that contribute to stains and other issues that detract from your dental health and appearance.
- Avoiding foods that stain. Reducing your consumption of common culprits, such as tea, coffee, tomatoes, berries, or wine, can help avoid discoloration and enamel erosion.
- Scheduling routine visits. Visiting our team every 6 months for a standard checkup and cleaning allows us to monitor your dental condition, catch and treat any potential problems, and polish away more recent surface stains that might have developed.
