Designing Confident, Natural-Looking Smiles
Your smile is one of the first things people notice. Dr. Omid Haroonian blends artistic design with advanced dental technology to improve both the appearance and the function of your smile. Whether you want to brighten, straighten or completely transform your teeth, we create a plan around your goals, lifestyle and facial harmony.
What Is Cosmetic Dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving how your smile looks through professional treatments such as whitening, veneers, bonding and contouring. It can address stains, uneven or worn teeth, gaps, chips and cracks, minor misalignment and uneven gum lines. Many treatments are minimally invasive, and our approach is conservative, preserving healthy tooth structure whenever possible. Every plan is customized, so you can fix a single tooth or combine several treatments to transform your whole smile. With the right combination of skill and technology, the results look and feel like your real teeth, only better.
Concerns Cosmetic Dentistry Can Address
- Discoloration or staining. Brighten teeth dulled by surface stains or deeper discoloration.
- Uneven or worn teeth. Restore balance to teeth that have worn down or grown uneven.
- Gaps between teeth. Close spaces for a more uniform smile.
- Chipped, cracked or misshapen teeth. Repair damage and refine tooth shape.
- Minor misalignment. Improve small alignment issues with cosmetic treatment.
- Gummy or uneven smile lines. Reshape the gumline so your teeth are framed evenly.

The short answer
Cosmetic dentistry is the branch of dentistry focused on improving the appearance of your smile, treating concerns such as stains, chips, gaps, worn or uneven teeth and uneven gum lines. Treatment can include whitening, porcelain veneers, composite bonding, enamel contouring and gum contouring, often planned with Digital Smile Design. A single tooth can be improved on its own, or several treatments can be combined into a full smile makeover.
Frequently Asked Questions About Cosmetic Dentistry
- What’s the right cosmetic treatment for stained teeth?
Professional teeth whitening is ideal for external stains on the surface of the teeth. For deeper discoloration, veneers or bonding may be more effective. Veneers and bonding cover the tooth rather than lightening it. Dr. Haroonian will recommend the right option after looking at the type of staining you have.
- Are veneers permanent?
Porcelain veneers are considered a long-term solution, but not a permanent one. They typically last 10–15 years or longer with good care. Brushing, flossing and regular checkups help them last. We check your veneers at every visit.
- Is cosmetic dentistry painful?
Most cosmetic procedures are minimally invasive and pain-free. Many treatments, such as whitening and bonding, involve little or no change to your natural tooth. Oral and IV sedation are available if you have dental anxiety. Let us know how you are feeling, and we will help you stay comfortable.
- Can I fix one tooth or do I have to treat all of them?
Yes, you can fix just one tooth if that is all you need. Every treatment plan is completely customized to your needs and goals. A single chipped or discolored tooth can often be treated with bonding or a veneer. We will match the color and shape to your surrounding teeth.
- How long does cosmetic treatment take?
Teeth whitening may take one visit, while veneers and full smile makeovers typically take 2–3 visits over a few weeks. The timeline depends on which treatments are in your plan. We map out the steps before you begin. That way you know what to expect at each visit.
- What’s the difference between veneers and bonding?
Bonding is quicker and more affordable, while veneers are more durable, more stain-resistant and more natural-looking. Bonding uses tooth-colored resin sculpted directly onto the tooth. Veneers are thin, custom-made porcelain shells bonded to the front of the teeth. Dr. Haroonian will help you weigh the two for your smile.
- Will my insurance cover cosmetic dentistry?
Most cosmetic treatments are not covered by insurance. We offer financing and flexible payment plans to make care affordable. Our team can walk you through your options before treatment begins. Visit our financing page to learn more.
- What is Digital Smile Design?
Digital Smile Design is a high-tech preview of your future smile. We map your new look with digital software before treatment begins. That means you know exactly what to expect. It also helps us plan each detail for predictable, customized results.
- Can cosmetic dentistry fix crooked teeth?
Mild misalignment can often be corrected with veneers or bonding. For more advanced cases, we may recommend Invisalign or clear aligners. The right choice depends on how far your teeth need to move. We will discuss both paths at your consultation.
- Is cosmetic dentistry safe for my natural teeth?
Yes, cosmetic procedures are safe when performed by an experienced dentist. They can even strengthen your teeth by repairing worn or damaged enamel. Our conservative approach preserves healthy tooth structure whenever possible. Dr. Haroonian will explain how each treatment affects your teeth before you begin.
