APPROACH BEAUTY + HEALTH
More than a surface-level change
The most beautiful smile is one that feels healthy, balanced, and unmistakably yours.
Cosmetic dentistry can address stains, chips, worn edges, uneven shapes, crowding, spaces, and missing teeth. Because many concerns have more than one solution, your consultation is centered on choices: what each option can accomplish, how long it may take, what it requires, and how it fits your priorities.

Scroll through the most common reasons patients explore cosmetic dentistry in Cheney. The right treatment depends on your teeth, oral health, goals, timeline, and preferences.
Discolored or stained teeth
Surface stains from food, drinks, or tobacco may respond well to professional take-home whitening. Discoloration within the tooth may require a different approach, such as porcelain veneers, depending on the cause and condition of the tooth.
Chipped, cracked, or worn teeth
Everyday wear, grinding, injuries, and old dental work can disrupt the symmetry of a smile. Depending on how much tooth structure is affected, options may include dental bonding, porcelain veneers, or a ceramic crown that also supports the tooth.
Small or unevenly shaped teeth
Teeth that appear undersized, narrow, uneven, or out of proportion can change the rhythm of the entire smile. Veneers, bonding, or crowns may be used to refine contours and create a more balanced appearance.
Crooked or crowded teeth
When tooth position is the primary concern, braces or clear aligner therapy may be the most conservative way to create a straighter smile. In selected cases, veneers may visually refine mild irregularities, but every option begins with an evaluation.
Gaps between teeth
Spaces can often be addressed in more than one way. Orthodontics moves teeth into new positions, while bonding or veneers may close selected gaps while also changing tooth shape, size, or color.
Missing teeth
A missing tooth affects appearance, chewing, and the way neighboring teeth work together. Depending on your needs, a dental bridge or implant-supported restoration may complete the smile while restoring function.

Cosmetic dentistry FAQ
Questions before
your first visit.
Every smile is different. These answers provide a useful overview, while your consultation gives you recommendations based on your own teeth and goals.
Request an appointment01What does cosmetic dentistry include?
Cosmetic dentistry includes treatments intended to improve the appearance of teeth and the overall smile. At Collins Family Dentistry, options may include professional take-home whitening, dental bonding, porcelain veneers, ceramic crowns, orthodontics, dental implants, and customized smile makeover plans.
02How do I know which treatment is right for my smile?
The right treatment depends on the cause of the concern, the condition of the teeth, your bite, how much change you want, your timeline, and your preferences. Dr. Collins will examine your smile, explain appropriate options, and review the benefits and limitations of each before you decide.
03Can cosmetic dentistry still look natural?
Yes. Natural-looking cosmetic dentistry considers tooth color, translucency, contour, proportion, smile line, and the surrounding facial features. The goal can be a subtle refinement or a more visible transformation, depending on what you prefer and what is clinically appropriate.
04Is teeth whitening the best option for every type of discoloration?
No. Professional whitening often works well for many external stains, but it may not correct discoloration located within the tooth or caused by certain enamel conditions, trauma, or existing restorations. An evaluation helps determine whether whitening, veneers, bonding, or another option is more appropriate.
05What is the difference between veneers, bonding, and crowns?
Bonding uses tooth-colored composite to make selected repairs or shape changes. Veneers are thin ceramic restorations placed on the visible front surface of a tooth. Crowns cover more of the tooth and may be recommended when a tooth needs structural support in addition to cosmetic improvement.
06Can several cosmetic treatments be combined?
Yes. A custom smile makeover may combine treatments such as whitening, bonding, veneers, crowns, orthodontics, or tooth replacement. The procedures and sequence are selected according to your needs, goals, oral health, budget, and desired timeline.
