What Is Cosmetic Dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the look of your smile without compromising function. Treatments can brighten stained enamel, repair chips or wear, close spaces, correct crowding, and harmonize the way your teeth complement your lips and facial features. Many procedures also strengthen teeth and support healthier bite mechanics.

Cosmetic Services at GOREgeous Smiles
Teeth Whitening (Professional In-Office & Take-Home)
Professional teeth whitening
safely lifts years of stains from coffee, tea, red wine, smoking, or age. In-office bleaching uses high-concentration gels that are isolated carefully for predictable, dramatic results—often in a single visit. Take-home kits with custom trays extend or maintain your brightness. Intrinsic discoloration may need veneers or bonding for best coverage; we’ll guide you to the right option.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers
are ultra-thin ceramic shells bonded to the front of teeth to change color, shape, and alignment instantly. They’re ideal for deep stains, chips, worn edges, small gaps, and minor crowding. After minimal enamel reshaping, veneers provide lifelike translucency, stain resistance, and long-term durability. We design each veneer to your facial proportions for a natural, never-overdone look.
Dental Bonding
Cosmetic bonding
uses tooth-colored composite to repair small chips, close tiny gaps, mask isolated discoloration, or reshape a tooth edge. It’s conservative, budget-friendly, and usually completed in one appointment without anesthesia. While bonding isn’t as stain-resistant as porcelain, careful polishing and good home care keep results fresh; touch-ups are simple when needed.
SureSmile Clear Aligners
Discreet, removable SureSmile aligners
straighten crowded, gapped, or mildly to moderately misaligned teeth without brackets or wires. Digital planning maps each tooth movement for efficient progress, often with fewer office visits than traditional braces. Aligner therapy can be combined with whitening or bonding for a streamlined cosmetic upgrade and easier cleaning during treatment.
Porcelain Crowns
A porcelain crown
is a tooth-shaped cover that restores strength and appearance when a tooth is cracked, badly decayed, heavily filled, or worn. Today’s ceramics mimic enamel’s translucency and shine while withstanding everyday chewing. Crowns are also used to reshape a tooth that’s undersized or discolored, blending seamlessly with adjacent teeth for an aesthetic, uniform smile line.
Same-Day CEREC Crowns
With digital scanning, on-site design, and in-office milling, same-day crowns
deliver custom ceramic restorations in a single visit—no temporary crown or second appointment. You leave with a strong, natural-looking result that’s color-matched and precisely fitted. Same-day options are excellent for many front and back teeth needing both function and esthetics.
Inlays & Onlays (Conservative Porcelain Restorations)
When damage is too large for a filling but doesn’t require a full crown, porcelain inlays and onlays
rebuild the biting surface with superior strength and a seamless color match. They preserve more healthy enamel than traditional crowns and are crafted for an invisible transition between tooth and ceramic.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
Modern composite tooth-colored fillings
repair cavities and can replace old metal fillings that show in your smile. Layered, light-cured resins bond to enamel for support, reduce sensitivity, and are sculpted to reflect light like natural tooth structure—especially helpful on front teeth or visible premolars.
Smile Makeover (Comprehensive Aesthetic Planning)
A Smile Makeover
combines selected cosmetic and restorative procedures—such as whitening, aligners, bonding, veneers, or crowns—into a phased plan that respects your priorities. Digital imaging and shade-mapping help preview outcomes, while stepwise scheduling keeps treatment comfortable and budget-friendly. The goal is balance: brighter teeth with symmetrical shapes that complement your lips and face.
Full-Mouth Rehabilitation (Function + Esthetics)
When wear, bite issues, old dentistry, or missing teeth affect many areas at once, Full-Mouth Rehabilitation
restores harmony to your bite and smile. Plans may include a combination of crowns, onlays, implants, or aligners to rebuild chewing efficiency and aesthetics. The result is a smile that looks youthful and feels stable for everyday life.
Dental Implants & Bridges for a Complete Smile
Replacing missing teeth is essential for both function and appearance. Single dental implants
topped with ceramic crowns look and feel like natural teeth, maintaining bone and preventing shifting. A dental bridge
spans a gap using lifelike porcelain over supportive teeth or implants. For extensive tooth loss, we also coordinate full-arch implant solutions
that deliver dramatic cosmetic and functional improvements.
Dentures with Cosmetic Customization
Modern dentures
are crafted for facial support, natural tooth shapes, and realistic gum shading. Options range from partials to full dentures, as well as implant-retained designs that increase stability and confidence. Careful tooth selection and arrangement can soften lines and restore lip support for a refreshed appearance.
Facial Esthetician Services to Complement Your Smile
A beautiful smile shines even brighter when the surrounding skin is healthy and radiant. Our in-office esthetician services
focus on complexion care and holistic skin health that frames your teeth and lips—an excellent companion to cosmetic dentistry for a polished, photo-ready result.
Digital Technology for Predictable Cosmetic Results
Our commitment to dental technology
includes digital impressions, 3D imaging, and chairside design systems that enhance comfort and accuracy. Precise color calibration and shade selection help ceramics match your features, while minimally invasive techniques preserve enamel whenever possible.

FAQs
Is cosmetic dentistry only about appearance?
No. Many cosmetic procedures—like porcelain crowns, inlays/onlays, and aligner therapy—also strengthen teeth, improve bite efficiency, and make home care easier. The best plans blend esthetics with lasting function.
How do veneers compare with bonding?
Bonding is ideal for small touch-ups and is more budget-friendly, but it can stain over time. Porcelain veneers are stronger and more stain-resistant, making them better for larger changes in color and shape or when you want maximum durability.
Can teeth whitening lighten crowns, veneers, or fillings?
Whitening gels only affect natural enamel; they don’t change the color of porcelain or composite. If you plan to update old dental work, we often whiten first and then match new restorations to your brighter shade.
Are same-day crowns as durable as lab crowns?
Yes. Same-day ceramic crowns crafted with chairside systems are highly durable and precisely fitted. In select complex color-matching cases, a lab-fabricated crown may be recommended for layered esthetics; your dentist will advise which is best.
Is clear aligner treatment right for every smile?
Clear aligners work well for many mild to moderate alignment issues. Significant bite problems or severe crowding may benefit from alternative orthodontic approaches. A consultation and digital assessment determine the most efficient path for your goals.
Will insurance cover cosmetic dentistry in Scottsdale, AZ?
Coverage varies. Purely cosmetic procedures (such as whitening) are typically not covered, while treatments with functional benefits (like crowns or aligners) may receive partial benefits. Our team can review your plan details and outline financing options that fit your needs. |
