Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic Dentistry & Smile Design
Cosmetic dentistry should look like you on your best day — not like dentistry. Dr. Zadov designs smiles around your facial proportions, your bite, and how you actually talk and laugh.
- Digital smile preview before treatment begins
- Conservative, enamel-preserving techniques
- Shade matching in natural light
- Bonding, veneers, whitening and reshaping
Design before drilling
Every cosmetic case starts with photographs, a bite analysis, and a conversation about what bothers you. Many patients arrive saying only that they dislike their smile; our job is to translate that into specifics — length, symmetry, color, spacing, gum line.
You will see a preview of the proposed result before any irreversible step is taken. If the preview is not right, we adjust the plan, not your expectations.
Options from subtle to transformative
Composite bonding can close a small gap or repair a chipped edge in a single visit. Professional whitening lifts years of coffee and red-tide-season iced tea. Porcelain veneers rebuild shape and color across the smile zone. Clear aligners fix the underlying alignment that makes a smile look crowded.
Often the best result comes from the smallest combination: whitening plus two bonded edges, rather than ten veneers. We will always present the most conservative option that achieves your goal.
Health first, always
Cosmetic work placed over active decay or untreated gum disease fails. Before any elective treatment, we stabilize your foundation. A beautiful restoration on a healthy mouth lasts for years; the same restoration on an unhealthy one does not.
Frequently asked questions
- Will my new smile look fake?
- Not if it is designed correctly. We build in the subtle translucency, texture and asymmetry that real teeth have, and we match your restorations to your facial features rather than to a stock shade guide.
- How long does a smile makeover take?
- Bonding and whitening can be completed in one or two visits. Veneer cases typically run three to four weeks. Cases that include aligners first may run several months.
- Is cosmetic dentistry covered by insurance?
- Purely elective treatment usually is not, though restorative components sometimes are. We provide financing options and a written estimate before you commit.
