Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry covers the treatments that change how your smile looks. At Centennial Family Dentistry, that includes everything from a single in-office whitening session to a full smile makeover combining veneers, crowns, and alignment. The common thread: results that look natural because they’re built around your face, your proportions, and what you actually want.

What’s included

Teeth whitening. In-office whitening lightens teeth several shades in about an hour. It’s the fastest way to see a visible difference. We also offer take-home trays for patients who prefer to go at their own pace.

Veneers. A veneer is a thin porcelain shell bonded to the front of a tooth. It can mask chips, cracks, gaps, stains that whitening won’t reach, and minor shape irregularities. Most patients need two or three visits from prep to final placement.

Smile makeover. A smile makeover isn’t a single procedure — it’s a treatment plan that uses two or more cosmetic (and sometimes restorative) services to address everything you want to change. We start with a conversation about your goals, then build a sequence that makes clinical sense.

6-Month Smiles. For adults who want straighter teeth without the two-year commitment of traditional braces, 6-Month Smiles uses clear brackets and tooth-colored wires focused on the visible “social six” teeth. Most cases complete in four to nine months.

When cosmetic work makes sense

People come in for cosmetic consultations for a lot of reasons — a milestone event, a photo they didn’t like, or just the realization that they’ve been covering their mouth when they smile. All of those are valid.

What we try to do is separate what’s purely cosmetic from what also has a functional benefit. Straightening crowded teeth, for example, isn’t just about looks — it makes cleaning easier and reduces wear. We’ll be honest about where the line is.

What a consult looks like

A cosmetic consult at Centennial Family Dentistry starts with a look at what you want to change and a quick exam. We’ll explain which options fit your situation, give you a realistic idea of results, and walk through costs before anything is scheduled. There’s no pressure to move forward on the same day.

Timing and planning

Most cosmetic work takes multiple appointments. Veneers, for example, typically require a prep visit, a temporary phase, and a delivery appointment. A smile makeover takes longer, especially if it includes restorative work. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront.
