What Is Cosmetic Dentistry? A Focus on Aesthetics
/
Unlike general dental care or restorative dentistry which focuses on your oral health, the main focus of cosmetic dentistry is the aesthetic appeal of your smile.

Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers can dramatically improve the appearance of your smile. Veneers are very thin, customized ceramic shells that are bonded to the front of the teeth. We can create veneers in-office using our CEREC® machine or our dentists will work with an elite lab. Porcelain veneers can conceal a range of imperfections, including chips, cracks, discoloration, and minor misalignment. They can also be combined with gum reshaping for a beautiful, natural-looking result.
Teeth Whitening
Discolored or stained teeth can make you feel less confident about showing off your smile. Teeth whitening provides the safe, powerful stain removal you need for bright, dazzling teeth. One of our dentists can provide you with in-office whitening for a single concentrated treatment. We can also create custom-fitted trays for at-home whitening that fits your busy schedule. We prefer KöR® Whitening Deep Bleaching™, which causes little to no sensitivity while dramatically brightening your smile.
Tooth Bonding
Dental bonding can help you achieve a beautiful, uniform smile with just one simple procedure. Using composite, the same material used for tooth-colored fillings, one of our dentists will gently cover any areas of concern, such as discoloration, small chips, or gaps between teeth. The material is then hardened with a specialized dental lamp. Composite can be customized to precisely match the color of your natural teeth. Bonding may also add protective coverage for exposed roots that are a result of gum recession and lengthen short or worn teeth.
Gum Reshaping
Also known as gum contouring, gum reshaping is a painless procedure that can help you achieve an even, beautiful gumline. Concerns can range from uneven gums to excessive gum coverage, resulting in a “gummy smile.” Our dentists offer traditional contouring, as well as laser gum reshaping, to create an enhanced gumline that will complement your teeth and facial features.
Smile Makeover
If you have several cosmetic concerns, you may be a good candidate for a smile makeover. Perhaps your teeth are not as white as you would like, and you have a small gap or chipped tooth you are unhappy with. With a smile makeover, one of our dentists can create a personalized care plan. We can also combine a smile makeover with restorative dentistry like dental implants to restore your smile and oral health. We will work closely with you to create the most efficient, budget-friendly combination of procedures and treatments so you can achieve the smile of your dreams.
Dr. Wood also provides BOTOX® Cosmetic injections for facial rejuvenation that can provide a powerful complement to your cosmetic dentistry treatment.

Can I Afford Cosmetic Dentistry?
It's hard to put a price on restoring your confidence. Many patients agree the benefits of cosmetic dentistry treatments far outweigh the cost. Our office wants to help you be proud of your smile.
Even though most insurance companies will not cover cosmetic procedures as they are considered elective, our treatment coordination team works hard to maximize insurance benefits and helps break down the cost. Our Birmingham office also offers special financing through CareCredit® to help you make your payments manageable.
