What is Cosmetic Dentistry?
The main focus of cosmetic dentistry is to enhance the aesthetics of the teeth, gums, and smile through a variety of dental procedures that improve appearance, symmetry, and color. Cosmetic dental procedures aim to bring balance to the mouth by correcting the teeth and gums. Some common dental issues that might benefit from cosmetic dentistry include:
- Cracked or chipped teeth
- Uneven or misshapen teeth
- Gaps in the teeth
- Misaligned teeth
- Discolored teeth
- Gummy smile
- Too big or too small teeth
While most cosmetic dental procedures are considered elective, some do provide therapeutic value to your dental health. Take braces and clear aligners, for example. While these treatments are often considered cosmetic as they straighten the teeth to provide a more uniform smile, they also provide oral health benefits by aligning the teeth and fixing the bite.
It is important to note that in many cases, cosmetic dental procedures are not considered medically necessary and are often not covered under dental insurance. You should speak with your insurance company and dentist to determine what your dental benefits cover. However, some procedures like crowns or implants may be partially covered when they serve both cosmetic and restorative purposes. If you are experiencing any of these dental problems, please contact a Seattle cosmetic dentist to discuss your treatment options and whether cosmetic dentistry is the right choice for you.

The Cosmetic Dentistry Process
Consultation
During your initial visit, we’ll discuss your smile goals and evaluate your dental health to recommend the best treatment options for you. We’ll review your concerns, take photos and impressions, and may use digital smile design software to show you a preview of potential results before you commit to treatment.
Customized Treatment Plan
We design a tailored plan to address your specific needs, using the latest in cosmetic dentistry techniques and technology. Your treatment plan will outline each procedure, the sequence of treatments, estimated timeline, and associated costs, ensuring complete transparency before we begin.
Smile Transformation
With precision and care, we perform the chosen procedures to enhance your smile. Our focus is always on creating natural-looking, long-lasting results. Depending on your treatment plan, you may complete your transformation in a single visit or over several appointments, with each step bringing you closer to your ideal smile.

Our Cosmetic Dentistry Services in Seattle
At Dental Specialties Northwest, we understand the diverse needs of our Seattle, WA, residents, and we make it our goal to provide quality dental care personalized to each individual who walks through our doors. Some common cosmetic dental services we offer include:
Dental Crowns
Protect and restore the beauty of cracked or chipped teeth with custom dental crowns. These durable restorations enhance both the appearance and functionality of your smile. Crowns can transform severely damaged or discolored teeth that can’t be corrected with bonding or whitening alone.
Create a uniform, flawless smile with custom-made porcelain veneers. These thin shells are ideal for addressing discoloration, gaps, and minor misalignments. Veneers provide the most dramatic cosmetic transformation, capable of changing tooth color, shape, size, and length simultaneously.
Brighten your smile with professional teeth whitening treatments that effectively remove stains and discoloration, leaving you with a radiant, confident look. In-office whitening can lighten your teeth by 5-10 shades in just one appointment, providing immediate results for special occasions.
Replace missing or extracted teeth with state-of-the-art dental implants. Designed for durability and natural aesthetics, implants provide a permanent solution to restore your smile. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants preserve your jawbone and provide the stability and confidence of natural teeth.
Gum Contouring
Achieve symmetry between your teeth and gums with precision gum contouring. This treatment reshapes your gum line to enhance the overall balance of your smile. Gum contouring can correct a “gummy smile” where excessive gum tissue makes teeth appear short, creating more balanced proportions and improving aesthetics.
Improve the alignment of your teeth discreetly with clear aligners. These comfortable, virtually invisible trays straighten your smile without the need for traditional braces. Clear aligners are removable for eating and cleaning, offering lifestyle flexibility that metal braces cannot provide.
For quick, affordable cosmetic improvements, dental bonding uses tooth-colored resin to repair chips, close gaps, or cover stains in just one appointment. Bonding is an excellent option for minor corrections that don’t require the permanence or cost of veneers.

What Are the Benefits of Cosmetic Dentistry?
Enhanced Aesthetics
Improve the appearance of your teeth by addressing stains, chips, and uneven spacing for a brighter, more harmonious smile. Cosmetic improvements can take years off your appearance and create a more youthful, vibrant look.
Improved Confidence
Feel proud to share your smile with the world, boosting your self-esteem and making social interactions more enjoyable. Studies show that people with attractive smiles are perceived as more successful, friendly, and trustworthy in both personal and professional contexts.
Long-Lasting Results
With proper care, cosmetic treatments like veneers and bonding provide durable enhancements that stand the test of time. Porcelain veneers can last 10-15 years, crowns 10-20 years, and implants a lifetime, making cosmetic dentistry a sound long-term investment.
Functional Benefits
Many cosmetic procedures also improve your bite and overall dental function, contributing to better oral health. Correcting misalignment can reduce jaw pain, improve chewing efficiency, prevent premature tooth wear, and make cleaning your teeth easier.
Cosmetic vs. Restorative Dentistry
While cosmetic dentistry focuses primarily on improving appearance, restorative dentistry addresses damaged or missing teeth to restore function and health. Many procedures like crowns, bridges, and implants serve both cosmetic and restorative purposes, improving both how your smile looks and how it functions. At our Seattle practice, we seamlessly integrate restorative dentistry with cosmetic treatments to ensure your smile is not only beautiful but also healthy and functional for years to come.

What Our Customers Say
Frequently Asked Questions
The longevity of your results depends on the treatment and your care routine. Teeth whitening can last several months, while veneers and bonding may last 5-15 years with proper care. Regular check-ups and good oral hygiene will help maintain your smile. Professional maintenance cleanings and avoiding habits like teeth grinding can significantly extend the life of your cosmetic work.
Absolutely. When performed by qualified professionals, cosmetic dentistry is a safe and effective way to enhance your smile. Our team uses the latest materials and techniques to ensure your safety and satisfaction. All cosmetic procedures are FDA-approved and backed by decades of clinical research demonstrating their safety and effectiveness.
Veneers can effectively improve the appearance of slightly crooked or misaligned teeth. These custom-made shells cover the front surface of teeth, creating the illusion of a straighter smile. However, it's important to note that veneers are primarily a cosmetic solution and do not actually move or straighten teeth. For more severe cases of misalignment, orthodontic treatments are typically recommended. Your cosmetic dentist can help determine whether veneers or orthodontics is the better solution based on the severity of your alignment issues.
Treatment duration depends on the procedure. Teeth whitening can be completed in a single visit, while veneers may require two to three appointments. Bonding takes 30-60 minutes per tooth, crowns require 2-3 visits, and full smile makeovers can span 2-6 months depending on complexity.
Yes. Our goal is to create a smile that enhances your natural beauty. We use advanced techniques and materials to ensure your results look both attractive and authentic. We carefully match tooth color, shape, and proportions to your facial features, ensuring your new smile looks like it's always been yours.
Most procedures are minimally invasive and involve little to no discomfort. We use local anesthesia when needed and offer sedation options for your comfort. Temporary sensitivity may occur but typically resolves quickly. Many cosmetic procedures like bonding and whitening require no anesthesia at all.
Maintaining your results is simple with good oral hygiene. Brush and floss daily, visit us for regular cleanings, and avoid habits that could damage your teeth, like chewing hard objects. We'll provide specific care instructions tailored to your treatment. Wearing a night guard if you grind your teeth and avoiding staining foods can also help preserve your cosmetic work.
