Porcelain Veneers
With veneers, we can easily correct multiple imperfections at the same time. Veneers are thin shells of dental porcelain that we can bond directly to the front surfaces of the teeth. Essentially, they act as masks that make the teeth appear effortlessly flawless and free from chips, cracks, stains, small gaps, and even slightly crooked teeth. With the right care, this versatile solution can last for 10-15 years or even longer.
Learn MoreMetal-Free Dental Restorations
Thanks to modern dental materials, we no longer have to use dark, noticeable metals to repair teeth that have been damaged or decayed. Instead, we use metal-free materials like composite resin or porcelain to create fillings, crowns, and other dental restorations that are tailor-made to repair your teeth without drawing attention to them. Once placed, even you might not be able to tell where your natural tooth ends and your restoration begins!
Cosmetic Dental Bonding
If you’re interested in a quick fix for a minor stain, chip, or gap in your teeth, we can make it disappear in as little as one hour with cosmetic dental bonding. We apply a malleable material called composite resin (which has been shaded to match your enamel) to your tooth, and then sculpt it into the desired shape, concealing small imperfections in no time at all. This fast, painless treatment provides seamless results that can last for five to ten years on average.
Invisalign
Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment designed with your image in mind. Instead of metal wires and brackets, Invisalign uses a series of clear removable aligners made from smooth plastic. These aligners shift your teeth little by little until you’ve achieved results, which rarely takes more than 12 to 18 months. Better yet, the trays can conveniently be taken out when it’s time to eat, drink, brush, or floss.
Learn MoreTeeth Whitening
It’s all too common for teeth to become darker over time, leaving many patients trying to conceal their smiles whenever possible. At Dudley Family Dental, we offer teeth whitening solutions that are exponentially more effective than the diluted whitening products you’ll find at the drugstore. We’ll customize your treatment, which can be done either in a single appointment or at home over the course of a few weeks, to meet your unique needs and leave you smiling more brightly than ever!

Smile Makeovers
If getting the results you want would require multiple treatments, then a smile makeover might be right for you. Based on your unique needs, preferences, and budget, we can combine several cosmetic and/or restorative procedures to transform your smile as efficiently as possible. By performing these treatments in a specific order, we’re often able to deliver results more quickly than we would by addressing one issue at a time.
Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs
Here at Dudley Family Dental, we’re more than happy to provide our patients with the information they need about everything concerning their smile, including how to go about enhancing it. That’s why we’ve gathered a few of the most frequently asked questions that we receive about cosmetic dentistry below; we want you to feel confident and well-informed about committing to your brand-new smile! Of course, if you have any other questions about cosmetic dentistry or the services that we offer, feel free to contact us today for additional assistance or information.
Does Cosmetic Dentistry Hurt?
Even patients who have their hearts set on transforming their smile with the help of cosmetic dentistry might have some reservations, mostly due to concerns about pain. Here at Dudley Family Dental, we understand this—which is why our team works hard to ensure that your treatment experience is as comfortable and pain-free as possible! Most cosmetic dental treatments are non-invasive and don’t even require a local anesthetic. For treatments like veneers, since your teeth will be slightly altered, your mouth will be numbed beforehand.
How Long Does Cosmetic Dentistry Last?
To put it simply, cosmetic dentistry isn’t intended to last forever, and the lifespan of your new and improved smile will vary depending on which specific treatments you’ve undergone. For instance, quick and easy treatments such as teeth whitening or direct bonding, while remarkably useful and quick to carry out, tend to not last as long as more extensive treatments, such as veneers. Generally speaking, the better care you take of your oral health, the longer you can expect your results to last. This includes regular oral hygiene, routine dental checkups and avoiding bad dental habits such as smoking, overconsuming sugar or using your teeth as tools.
Is Cosmetic Dentistry Covered by Insurance?
Typically, dental insurance will not cover elective (optional) procedures, and most cosmetic treatments fall under this category. However, there may be exceptions if the treatment also provides oral health benefits. For example, a crown or veneer might be partially covered by your plan if it ends up protecting and salvaging a damaged tooth. Clear aligners like Invisalign might also be covered to some extent if your plan includes orthodontic coverage, since these options correct dental misalignment and improve overall bite function. In any case, our team can help you better understand the specifics of your plan so that you’re maximizing your coverage and making the most of your benefits!
How Do I Know If I Need Cosmetic Dentistry?
The bottom line is that if you’re not 100% confident when you smile in your bathroom mirror, you could likely benefit from cosmetic dentistry. Stained teeth can easily be whitened, cracked or chipped teeth can be repaired, and teeth with other aesthetic issues can be made to look natural, symmetrical and beautiful once more. Most patients end up looking much younger, healthier, and happier after undergoing cosmetic work. Of course, the only way to determine if you’re an eligible candidate for cosmetic treatment is by coming in for a consultation; once we have a better idea of your smile goals and the teeth we’re working with, we can get the ball rolling!
