Cosmetic dentistry fixes the parts of your smile that bother you most, from stains and chips to gaps and uneven teeth. Patients feel more comfortable smiling in photos, at work, and in everyday conversations after treatment.
People with stained, chipped, crooked, worn, or gapped teeth are strong candidates for cosmetic dentistry. We fix small flaws and create brighter smiles. At your first visit, we assess your oral health and build a cosmetic dental treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and goals.

Cosmetic dentistry costs depend on the treatment you choose, such as veneers, whitening, bonding, or implants. Most insurance plans do not cover cosmetic work unless a damaged tooth also needs repair.

Practicing good oral hygiene, such as daily brushing, flossing, and limiting dark drinks, will help protect your new smile. Our cosmetic dentistry services include regular checkups to keep your teeth healthy and your results intact.

Hear From Our Patients

Robert

Gentle Dental Brighton

I can't say enough good things about how I was treated at Gentle Dental Brighton over the last few years but more specifically recently when I had an infected root. Dr. Meyer was exceptional not just in her skills as a dentist, but how compassionate she was to the amount of pain I was in. She helped me from start to finish and even checked on me after the root canal. Not just a great dentist but a great person.

Michel

Gentle Dental Jamaica Plain

Dr. Mancini and his staff got me in for an appointment within an hour of my call and took care of a loose, temporary cap. To my surprise they were able to “install” my permanent crown even though the appointment for that procedure was scheduled a week later. Perfect fit! Made my day. Thank you Gentle Dental Jamaica Plain!

Denise

Gentle Dental Nashua

Best dental care around! Immaculate office. Staff is exceptional and truly caring. Dr. Anthony is the Best! He understands my anxiety. I am telling everyone to request an appointment at Gentle Dental Nashua!

Tom

Gentle Dental Wakefield

Just had my last implant visit and can now smile again! The whole process went smoothly. Hats off to Dr. Amin, Dr. Colon and Sheela. All three, along with the rest of the staff, were very professional and pleasant to work with. I have been a patient at this office for 10+ years and would recommend Gentle Dental Wakefield to anyone for their next dentist appointment!

Carolyn

Gentle Dental Belmont

This is an excellent dental practice with flexible scheduling and friendly staff. Hygienists and dentists are very knowledgeable and skilled. Would also recommend their periodontist. Prices are quite reasonable as well. The Saturday hours are a huge plus at this dentist in Belmont.

Laura

Gentle Dental Cambridge

I would definitely recommend my experience at Gentle Dental Cambridge in Porter Square. A truly wonderful team of talented people! And they are paired with the most up-to-date technology. My experience was terrific! I needed a root canal and crowns in addition to a cavity filling. I was in safe hands! From start to finish, I was treated well and the procedures were completed in a timely manner.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is cosmetic dentistry safe for everyone?

Most patients can safely receive cosmetic dentistry treatment after a full exam. We check your teeth and gums to confirm they are stable. If there is active decay or gum disease, we treat that first. Your safety comes before any cosmetic work begins.

Why choose cosmetic dentistry to enhance your smile?

Cosmetic dentistry can fix stains, chips, gaps, and uneven teeth that make you self-conscious. After treatment, patients smile more freely in photos, at work, and during everyday conversations. The changes look natural and blend with the rest of your teeth.

What are the most common cosmetic dental procedures?

Common cosmetic dentistry procedures include teeth whitening, veneers, bonding, Invisalign®, crowns, and implants. Bonding fixes small chips and gaps. Veneers reshape front teeth. Each cosmetic dental treatment targets a different problem, so your plan depends on what you want to change.

What are dental veneers, and how do they improve your smile?

Veneers are thin shells bonded to the front of your teeth. They cover stains, chips, small gaps, and uneven edges. The material matches natural tooth color for a realistic look. Veneers are among the more popular, economical dental services for a noticeable smile change.

What is the difference between veneers and crowns?

Veneers cover only the front surface of a tooth and improve its appearance. Crowns wrap around the entire tooth to restore both strength and shape. We use veneers for cosmetic dental care changes and crowns when a tooth is weak, cracked, or heavily damaged.

How does teeth whitening work, and how long does it last?

Professional whitening uses a strong gel that breaks down deep stains on your enamel. The treatment can lighten teeth by several shades. Results often last months or longer with good brushing and stain control. Avoiding coffee, wine, and tobacco extends the longevity of your cosmetic dentistry results.

How long do cosmetic dental treatment results last?

Cosmetic dental treatment results depend on the procedure and your daily habits. Whitening may need touch-ups over time. Veneers and implants can last many years with proper brushing and regular dental visits. Checkups at our office protect your results from early wear or damage.

Are cosmetic dental procedures painful?

Most cosmetic dental care procedures cause little to no discomfort. We use local numbing to keep you comfortable during treatment. Sedation is available for patients with dental anxiety. We review your cosmetic dentist cost and comfort options before starting any work.

How long does cosmetic dentistry treatment take?

The timeline depends on the procedure and your specific needs. Whitening can be done in a single appointment. Veneers, implants, and Invisalign® may take several visits over a few weeks. We also offer emergency cosmetic dentistry for a chipped or damaged front tooth.

How does cosmetic dentistry improve confidence and well-being?

Cosmetic dentistry fixes the flaws that make people hide their teeth. After treatment, patients feel more at ease in photos, at work, and in social settings. A smile that looks clean can change the way you carry yourself every day.

Can cosmetic dentistry improve my overall oral health?

Yes. Invisalign® straightens crooked teeth, making brushing and flossing easier and reducing the risk of decay. Crowns protect weak or cracked teeth from further damage. Cosmetic dental treatment often improves both the appearance and the health of your teeth.

What cosmetic dentistry services does Gentle Dental offer?

Gentle Dental offers cosmetic dentistry services, including whitening, veneers, bonding, Invisalign®, crowns, implants, gum contouring, and smile makeovers. Each service targets a different concern, from stains and chips to missing teeth and uneven spacing.

Is cosmetic dentistry the same as orthodontics?

Cosmetic dentistry focuses on the appearance of your teeth, such as color, shape, and spacing. Orthodontics focuses on tooth alignment and bite correction. Some treatments, like Invisalign®, overlap both areas because straighter teeth also improve the look of your smile.

Does Gentle Dental accept insurance for cosmetic dentistry?

Most insurance plans do not cover cosmetic treatments unless the work also repairs a damaged tooth. Coverage varies by plan and procedure. Click here to check your coverage online, or call our office, and our team will walk you through your payment options, including flexible financing options, before your visit.

Can Gentle Dental cosmetic dentistry fix crooked or misaligned teeth?

Invisalign® can move crowded or misaligned teeth into a straighter position over time. Veneers can also improve the appearance of mild crookedness by reshaping the front surface. Your exam determines the right cosmetic dental treatment based on your teeth, bite, and smile goals.
