Cosmetic Treatments We Offer
Teeth Whitening
Coffee, tea, red wine and tobacco gradually stain tooth enamel. Professional whitening lifts those stains more evenly and safely than most store-bought products. We offer in-office whitening for noticeable results in a single visit, and custom take-home trays for patients who prefer to whiten gradually at home. Whitening does not change the color of existing crowns or fillings, so Dr. Baker checks those first and plans around them.
Porcelain Veneers
Veneers are thin porcelain shells bonded to the front of your teeth. They can cover deep stains that whitening cannot reach, close small gaps, and reshape chipped or worn edges. Placing veneers usually means removing a thin layer of enamel, so they are a long-term commitment. Most patients complete treatment in two visits.
Tooth Bonding
Bonding uses tooth-colored composite resin that is shaped and polished directly on the tooth. It is a good fit for small chips, minor gaps and uneven edges, and it is often finished in one visit with little or no enamel removed. Bonding is more affordable than veneers but can stain and chip more easily over time.
Tooth-Colored and Same-Day Crowns
A crown covers a tooth that is cracked, heavily filled or badly discolored. All-ceramic crowns match the shade of your natural teeth, which makes them a strong choice for teeth that show when you smile. Our office can design and make many all-ceramic crowns in-house, so you can often leave with your permanent crown the same day instead of wearing a temporary.
Replacing Missing Teeth
A gap in your smile affects how you chew and how your other teeth line up. Dental implants replace the missing root and crown and can be planned together with whitening or veneers for a complete result.
Which Option Is Right for You?
- Healthy teeth that have yellowed: whitening is usually the simplest first step.
- A small chip or gap on one or two teeth: bonding is often quick and affordable.
- Stains, wear or shape issues across several front teeth: veneers give the most uniform result.
- A tooth that is cracked, weak or has a large old filling: a crown protects it and improves its appearance.
- A missing tooth: an implant or other replacement restores the gap.
What to Expect at Your Cosmetic Consultation
- Exam: Dr. Baker checks for decay or gum problems that should be treated before cosmetic work.
- Your goals: you explain what you would like to change, and he shows you what each option can realistically achieve.
- Your plan: you receive a treatment plan with the number of visits and the estimated cost.
- Treatment: we schedule your appointments at a pace that works for you.
Cost and Insurance
Cost depends on the treatment and how many teeth are involved. Dental insurance rarely covers purely cosmetic treatment such as whitening, but crowns that restore a damaged tooth may be partly covered. We give you a written estimate before treatment starts and can phase care over time if that suits your budget.
Nervous About Dental Work?
Many of our patients have had difficult dental experiences in the past. We take things at your pace in a calm, relaxed office, and you can ask about sedation options if you need extra help feeling comfortable.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does professional teeth whitening last?
Results usually last from several months to a few years, depending on your habits. Coffee, tea, red wine and smoking cause stains to return faster. Occasional touch-ups with take-home trays help maintain your shade.
Do veneers damage your natural teeth?
Traditional veneers require removing a thin layer of enamel so they sit naturally. The underlying tooth stays healthy, but the change is permanent, so the tooth will always need a veneer or similar covering.
Should I choose bonding or veneers?
Bonding is faster and costs less, which makes it ideal for small repairs. Veneers last longer, resist stains better and are better for changing several teeth at once. Dr. Baker will recommend the option that fits your teeth and goals.
Does insurance cover cosmetic dentistry?
Most plans do not cover treatment done only to improve appearance. Treatment that also restores function, such as a crown on a broken tooth, may be partly covered. Our office can check your benefits before you commit.
