We may recommend cosmetic treatments if you are unhappy with your smile and want to change its look. Cosmetic dentistry in our Baltimore, MD office can treat tooth gaps, crooked teeth, worn teeth, cracked and chipped teeth, and tooth stains. These dental services not only improve the appearance of the teeth and gums but also improve the patient’s oral health.
Fixing chips and cracks in the enamel creates a more uniform and comfortable bite. Tooth bonding and veneers allow patients to speak and eat confidently. It is also difficult to clean the spaces between misaligned teeth, where bacteria can build up.
Straightening crooked teeth can prevent the development of tooth decay and gum disease. Brightening discolored teeth also often motivate patients to keep up with their at-home oral hygiene routine. Improving the aesthetics of the smile helps patients understand the importance of their dental health.

Invisalign
Invisalign is a modern alternative to traditional metal braces that uses clear aligners to straighten crooked teeth. The clear Invisalign aligners are discreet and easy for patients to use. Clear Invisalign aligners do not come with dietary restrictions because they are removable. Patients switch out each set of aligners every few weeks to gradually realign their smiles.
Porcelain Veneers
Dental veneers are porcelain shells that are bonded to the front of the teeth. They can treat tooth damage as well as discoloration. This is because dental veneers can be color-matched to natural teeth. As a permanent treatment, porcelain veneers can create a uniform and bright smile for patients that last for years to come.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening treatment is used to brighten the appearance of the tooth enamel. We offer in-office and take-home teeth whitening options to our patients. Patients can undergo quick treatment in our office or whiten their own teeth in the comfort of their own homes. Both of these methods of whitening brighten the smile by multiple shades.
Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs
Learn more about cosmetic dental treatments below with answers to these frequently asked questions:
Who is a good candidate for cosmetic dentistry?
Most people with good oral health and a desire to improve their smile are good candidates. Issues like discolored, chipped, misshapen, or misaligned teeth can often be addressed cosmetically. However, underlying problems like gum disease or tooth decay must be treated first. We will assess your needs and help you choose appropriate cosmetic options.
Can cosmetic dentistry make me look younger?
Yes, a brighter, more even smile can rejuvenate your appearance. Worn, stained, or missing teeth can make someone look older, while cosmetic improvements create a more youthful smile. Procedures like whitening, veneers, and gum contouring can create a fresher look. Many patients report increased self-confidence after treatment.
Does insurance cover cosmetic dentistry?
Most cosmetic procedures are not covered by insurance because they are considered elective. However, if a procedure also has a functional benefit—such as a crown to protect a damaged tooth—partial coverage may apply. It’s best to check with your dental insurance provider and consult us for help understanding your benefits.
Are cosmetic dental procedures safe for people with sensitive teeth?
Yes, most cosmetic procedures can be safely performed on patients with sensitive teeth, but extra care is needed. We may use desensitizing products before or after treatment, especially with whitening procedures. In some cases, alternatives like bonding or veneers may be preferred over more abrasive treatments. Always discuss your sensitivity with your dentist so they can tailor the treatment plan accordingly.
Will cosmetic dental treatments look natural?
When performed by a skilled cosmetic dentist, treatments like veneers, crowns, and bonding are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. Materials are color-matched and shaped to mimic the look of real enamel. Advanced techniques and technologies ensure a natural, lifelike result. The goal is to enhance your smile without making it obvious that work has been done.
What should I expect during a cosmetic dentistry consultation?
During your consultation, we will assess your oral health, discuss your aesthetic goals, and examine your teeth and gums. We may take photos, X-rays, or digital scans to help plan your treatment. You’ll receive a personalized recommendation and cost estimate based on your needs. It’s a great time to ask questions and explore all available options.
