Some patients choose to combine cosmetic dental options for a complete smile makeover. Our cosmetic dentist will give your appearance and self-esteem a lift after transforming your smile from ordinary to extraordinary. Let’s take a closer look at some of the cosmetic dentistry services available.
Teeth Whitening
Could your smile stand to look a little whiter and brighter? If so, then welcome to the club! The most common complaint adults have about their smiles is that they have become dull and yellowed. This is hard to avoid when considering the many colorful foods and beverages most people consume, especially coffee and tea, tomato sauce, chocolate, condiments and other deeply shaded foods.
Our teeth whitening process is simple and effective. We’ll give you custom-fitted mouth trays and professional grade bleaching gel. Just fill the trays with gel and wear them according to Dr. Dan’s instructions. You may notice an improvement after just one application, but the best results will appear after two weeks of consistent use.

Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers can be used to conceal teeth that have resisted whitening, but they are also a great solution for a smile marred by teeth that are chipped, cracked, misshaped, too small, slightly crooked or unevenly spaced. Each veneer is adhesively bonded to its corresponding tooth. They can be used to correct the appearance of a single tooth or several. And because veneers are made of high-quality dental porcelain, they resist staining, so your smile will always be as white as the day you receive your veneers.
Cosmetic Bonding
Maybe you have one tiny flaw in your smile that is bothering you, such as a small chip or a tooth that is misshaped. In this case, talk to your dentist in Centerville about cosmetic bonding. With this treatment, a small dab of tooth-matched composite resin material is used to conceal or reform the tooth. The result is a tooth that blends in seamlessly with the rest of your smile.
All-Ceramic Crowns
All-ceramic crowns cross the line between cosmetic and restorative dentistry. This restoration covers all surfaces of a tooth from the edge of the gum line to the crown. For a severely decayed tooth, they can restore normal form and function. And because they are all-ceramic, they look completely natural, offering the aesthetic value you want so your smile continues to look appealing.
Smile Makeover
With a smile makeover, Dr. Dan combines two or more cosmetic dentistry services to give you a completely new and refreshed smile. We use digital photography and imaging in order to create a treatment plan that complements your unique facial features. The plan is followed step-by-step to give you the smile you deserve.
Exceptional dentistry produces extraordinary smiles. Call our cosmetic dentist's office and schedule a regular appointment, follow-up, or second-opinion visit with Dr. Dan. Located in Centerville, we welcome patients from Miamisburg, Springboro, and the surrounding areas.

Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs
How Can Cosmetic Dentistry Change Your Life?
While cosmetic dentistry may seem needless, it has the power to improve your life greatly. You simply need to get procedures that suit (or address) your situation.
For example, many aesthetic treatments can indirectly strengthen your smile. They’ll motivate you to preserve your now-gorgeous grin by brushing, flossing, and rinsing more often. A cosmetic service can also show you that you need a dentist’s regular care, prompting you to get frequent dental checkups.
Some cosmetic dental work will even improve your general health. After all, a treatment may convince you to quit smoking (i.e., a known cause of cancer) because the habit stains teeth. Certain procedures could also persuade you to drink less coffee and soda, reducing your sugar intake in the process. You may even smile more after dental work, which boosts your immune system.
How Long Does Cosmetic Dentistry Last?
Cosmetic dentistry has no overarching lifespan; how long it lasts depends on the procedure you get. In other words, your choice of treatment will impact whether its results persist or not.
For instance, take “quick-and-easy” treatments like teeth whitening and direct bonding. These services don’t have long-lasting effects, as they aren’t very invasive. Their bleaching gel and resin (respectively) wear down over time and often force patients to get re-treatments. (Their results tend to last a few years at most.)
On the other hand, more invasive procedures – dental crowns, porcelain veneers, etc. – last longer. Many alter your existing tooth structure to ensure results with extended lifespans. Similarly, some permanently remove excess tissue (gum recontouring) from your smile.
Is Cosmetic Dentistry Safe?
When done by a trained dentist, yes – cosmetic dentistry is perfectly safe for most patients. You can trust its treatments to enhance your smile’s looks without harming its health.
The only thing to note is that not every treatment suits every patient. So, your dentist will assess your mouth beforehand and explain which procedures you should avoid. They may discourage veneers if you have decayed teeth, as the shells would make cavities harder to fix later. Similar concerns could apply to cosmetic bonding, teeth whitening, etc.
All that said, most dentists can provide you with preliminary dental work. They’ll gladly address your preventive issues so your smile is ready for cosmetic treatment.
Will Cosmetic Dentistry Help My Career?
Depending on your treatment, cosmetic dentistry could do a lot for your career. The pretty smile it gives you would be an asset in many job settings.
Indeed, a gorgeous grin could improve your relations with co-workers and bosses. That’s because people who smile often are seen as friendlier, more confident, and more trustworthy. If your work peers view you with these qualities, they’ll have a good impression of you and provide career opportunities.
With all that said, cosmetic dental treatments could give you a leg up in your job. Its services let patients cover up or hide tooth stains, chips, cracks, gaps, and more. As a result, the right treatment would leave you eager to show off your grin at work and elsewhere.
