Combining the art and science of dentistry

Even thousands of years ago, people were concerned about the health and appearance of their smiles. Viewing white teeth as a sign of wealth and beauty, the ancient Egyptians used small sticks to apply a mixture of ground pumice and wine vinegar to remove stains and whiten their teeth.

Today, we have the skills, technology, and materials to create smiles that are as beautiful as they are healthy. Thanks to developments in the field of cosmetic dentistry over the past 50 years, even the most challenging smiles can be transformed into ones that dazzle. At the office of Bahri Dental Group, we offer state-of-the-art treatment along with an artistic eye and keen awareness of facial aesthetics to produce cosmetically pleasing smiles and long-lasting results of dental care.

You can rest assured your smile is in the best of hands with us. We value patient input and listen carefully to your interests and expectations of care. When it comes to cosmetic dentistry, there is no "one size fits all" solution. We recognize that every patient is unique and provide highly personalized dental treatments to enhance the look of your smile.

What Are Some Types Of Cosmetic Dental Procedures?

Cosmetic dental procedures range from treatments that are relatively quick and non-invasive procedures to more extensive ones based on a patient's specific needs and expectations of dental care.

When staining, enamel defects, minor chips, small gaps, or slight misalignment are present, conservative and minimally invasive procedures such as cosmetic dental bonding, professional strength teeth whitening, and veneers can offer effective and highly satisfying ways to improve the look of your smile. Teeth with cavities, more extensive damage, or more significant cosmetic flaws, can be restored and rebuilt to achieve attractive, durable, and long-lasting results with tooth-colored fillings and natural-looking dental crowns.

Rebuilding a complete and beautiful smile

At the office of Bahri Dental Group, we use leading-edge technology, proven methods of care, and the latest generations of dental materials to give patients the smiles they've always wanted!

We can also help patients with missing teeth to reestablish a complete and beautiful smile with options that range from dental bridges or dentures to dental implants. Whether an individual tooth or multiple teeth are missing, our practice offers the most advanced dental implant-based solutions to help patients create an attractive smile that looks, feels, and functions like a natural one.

Some of the most common cosmetic dental procedures we perform include the following:

  • Dental Bonding

    To repair minor defects, chips, or fractures, mask discolorations, and close small gaps between teeth; a dental bonding procedure is considered one of the most effective, economical, and quickest methods of care. A bonding procedure is typically performed with composite resins, which come in a wide array of tooth-colored shades to enhance the look of your smile blend seamlessly with the rest of your teeth. Bonded to the underlying tooth structure, composite resins are made of biologically safe and metal-free materials that offer excellent aesthetics, strength, and durability.

  • Tooth-Colored Fillings

    Today, it's possible to restore a tooth with decay with cosmetically pleasing and metal-free filling materials composed of composite resin and filler particles that form a hard matrix when set. Strong and durable, these fillings bond to the remaining tooth structure as they rebuild it following the removal of any decayed or damaged portions. Best of all, with tooth-colored fillings, there's no unsightly metal showing. Your smile looks naturally pleasing whether you're opening your mouth or simply flashing a broad smile.

  • Teeth Whitening

    If your teeth are stained, discolored, or yellowed, you may benefit from a professional strength teeth whitening procedure from our office. A teeth-whitening procedure can quickly transform a dull, drab, discolored smile into one that's whiter and more vibrant. Although over the counter teeth whitening systems purchased in stores or online have become popular, there are health concerns and limitations with these products. As a rule, the healthiest and most effective methods of teeth whitening are the ones managed and supervised by the dentist. At the office of Bahri Dental Group, we use the leading systems in care to offer a safe, quick, and effective way to lighten and brighten your smile!

  • Dental Veneers

    One of the most conservative yet highly effective and aesthetically pleasing ways to enhance the appearance of imperfect looking teeth is the fabrication of porcelain veneers. By placing customized, ultra-thin facings made of the highest grade of dental porcelain over the front of a single tooth or multiple ones, our dental office can transform the look of your smile.

  • Crowns

    Besides restoring the appearance and function of teeth with extensive dental decay, cracked fillings, prior root canals, or rebuilding teeth that are very worn down from grinding, a full coverage dental crown can also be used to improve the cosmetics of an imperfect tooth. A full coverage dental crown may be indicated for teeth that are misshapen, deeply stained, or otherwise significantly flawed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is cosmetic dentistry?

+

Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of teeth, gums and the overall smile through a variety of elective procedures. It blends clinical dental techniques with an aesthetic approach to help patients achieve a more pleasing and harmonious smile. Treatments can address discoloration, chips, gaps, misshapen teeth and other visual concerns while maintaining or improving oral function.

Modern cosmetic care uses advanced materials and technology to create results that look natural and last longer than in the past. Careful planning considers tooth color, shape, alignment and facial proportions so results complement each patient’s features. A qualified dental team balances artistic detail with evidence-based methods to deliver reliable outcomes.

Who is a good candidate for cosmetic dental treatment?

+

Good candidates are individuals who have realistic goals for their smile and who are in generally good oral health. Common candidacy factors include healthy gums, manageable levels of tooth decay and a willingness to follow recommended maintenance and home care. Patients with conditions such as active gum disease or untreated decay will typically need those issues addressed before elective cosmetic work begins.

A personalized evaluation helps determine which procedures are suitable based on tooth condition, bite function and aesthetic goals. The dental team will review medical and dental history, take necessary images and discuss expectations to develop a safe, effective treatment plan. Candidates can range from those seeking minor improvements to people pursuing full smile makeovers.

What are the most common cosmetic dental procedures?

+

Common cosmetic procedures include professional teeth whitening, dental bonding, porcelain veneers, tooth-colored fillings and ceramic crowns. Each option addresses different concerns: whitening for discoloration, bonding for minor chips and gaps, veneers for reshaping and crowns for restoring extensively damaged teeth. Restorative options such as dental implants, bridges and dentures can also play a cosmetic role when replacing missing teeth.

Orthodontic therapies, including clear aligners, are increasingly integrated into cosmetic plans to correct alignment and spacing prior to restorative or aesthetic work. The right combination of treatments is selected to achieve balanced aesthetics, long-term function and oral health. A tailored approach ensures procedures complement one another rather than creating isolated improvements.

How do porcelain veneers differ from dental crowns?

+

Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin shells bonded to the front surfaces of teeth to improve color, shape and minor alignment issues while preserving most of the natural tooth structure. Veneers are typically chosen for teeth with primarily cosmetic concerns and where root integrity and strength are intact. Crowns, by contrast, provide full coverage around a tooth and are used when more substantial restoration is needed due to decay, large fillings, fractures or wear.

Material selection and preparation techniques differ: veneers require conservative reduction of the enamel, while crowns require more extensive shaping to accommodate the restoration. Both options can be crafted from high-quality ceramics to mimic natural tooth translucency, and both benefit from careful shade selection and occlusal assessment to ensure a harmonious result. Long-term success depends on precise fit, good oral hygiene and regular dental follow-up.

Are professional teeth whitening treatments safe and effective?

+

Professional teeth whitening performed under dental supervision is generally safe and can produce more reliable and predictable results than many over-the-counter products. A dentist evaluates tooth sensitivity, the presence of restorations and underlying dental conditions before recommending a whitening protocol to minimize risks. Supervised treatments use controlled concentrations of whitening agents and protocols tailored to each patient’s needs.

While most patients tolerate whitening well, some may experience temporary sensitivity or gum irritation that typically resolves after treatment. Results vary based on the type and cause of staining, but many patients see noticeable lightening in a single visit or over a brief at-home regimen prescribed by the dentist. The dental team can also recommend maintenance strategies to help preserve whitening results.

What is dental bonding and when is it appropriate?

+

Dental bonding uses a tooth-colored composite resin to repair minor chips, close small gaps, mask discolorations and reshape teeth in a conservative way. The procedure is minimally invasive, often completed in a single visit without extensive tooth reduction, and the material is bonded directly to the enamel. Bonding is an economical option for modest cosmetic improvements and can be applied to one or several teeth depending on the aesthetic goal.

Composite materials offer good aesthetics and can be matched to surrounding tooth color, but they require routine care to maintain appearance and integrity. Bonded surfaces can chip or stain over time, so patients are advised to avoid habits that place excessive stress on restorations and to maintain regular dental checkups. When greater durability or dramatic changes are needed, options such as veneers or crowns may be discussed.

How can missing teeth be replaced to restore a cosmetic smile?

+

Missing teeth can be replaced using dental implants, fixed bridges or removable dentures, and each option affects appearance, function and long-term oral health differently. Dental implants replace both the tooth root and crown, providing excellent aesthetics and support for adjacent teeth while preserving bone. Bridges span the gap using adjacent teeth for support, and dentures restore larger areas of missing teeth when multiple replacements are needed.

Treatment selection depends on factors such as the number of missing teeth, bone volume, oral health status and patient goals. Implant-based solutions generally offer the most natural look and feel, but careful planning and imaging are required to assess suitability. The dental team will outline the clinical benefits and considerations of each approach and coordinate restorative steps to achieve a balanced, natural-looking smile.

How long do cosmetic dental treatments last and how should I care for them?

+

Longevity of cosmetic treatments varies by the procedure, materials used and the patient’s oral habits, but many modern restorations can last for years with proper care. Porcelain veneers and ceramic crowns are durable when maintained with good oral hygiene and regular dental visits, while bonded composites may require more frequent touch-ups. Factors such as teeth grinding, tobacco use and dietary staining agents can shorten the lifespan of aesthetic restorations.

To extend the life of cosmetic work, practice thorough daily brushing and flossing, attend routine professional cleanings and follow any specific care instructions provided by your dentist. Consider protective measures such as night guards for bruxism and avoidance of habits like nail-biting or opening packaging with teeth. Periodic evaluations allow the dental team to monitor restorations and address minor issues before they progress.

What should I expect during a cosmetic smile makeover consultation?

+

A cosmetic consultation begins with a comprehensive oral exam, discussion of your aesthetic goals and review of medical and dental history to ensure safe planning. The dentist will take photographs, digital images or impressions as needed to analyze tooth proportions, alignment and bite relationships. This diagnostic phase helps identify underlying conditions that may need treatment prior to aesthetic procedures, such as decay or gum disease.

Based on the evaluation, the dental team will present treatment options, outline the sequence of care and explain expected outcomes and maintenance requirements. Many practices use visual simulations or mock-ups to help patients preview potential changes and make informed decisions. A collaborative approach ensures the plan aligns with both aesthetic desires and functional needs.

How does cosmetic dentistry affect my overall oral health?

+

When planned and executed responsibly, cosmetic dentistry can enhance both the appearance and function of the teeth, contributing to improved oral health and easier maintenance. Restorations that correct alignment, replace missing teeth or cover damaged surfaces often make hygiene more effective and reduce the risk of further deterioration. Aesthetic improvements are most successful when they are integrated with comprehensive dental care that addresses periodontal health, bite dynamics and restorative needs.

The dental team considers long-term function as well as appearance when recommending cosmetic treatments, and follow-up care is essential to preserve results and oral wellness. Patients benefit from coordinated care that combines cosmetic techniques with preventive and restorative dentistry to support a healthy, attractive smile. For personalized guidance, the office of Bahri Dental Group provides clinical evaluations and treatment planning designed to meet each patient’s unique needs.
