There is a kind of cosmetic dentistry that is performed loudly, bright bleach-white smiles that look like they came out of a catalog, all uniform, all alike. That is not the work we are interested in.
Good cosmetic dentistry should look like a smile you have always had. The proportions should fit your face. The color should fit your skin and your age. The shape should fit the way you actually speak and laugh. The work, when it is done well, should be invisible as work, it should just read as you, slightly more polished.
Achieving that takes time. Photographs, conversations, sometimes a wax-up or digital mock-up before any treatment begins. It also takes choosing the right ceramist, one who understands that quiet results are harder, not easier, than dramatic ones.
If you are thinking about cosmetic work, the first step is a consultation. There is no commitment, and there is no rush.
