What is Considered Cosmetic Dentistry?



Cosmetic Dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of your mouth, teeth, gums, and overall smile. Common procedures include teeth whitening, veneers, fillings, and implants.

Dr. Capozzi and the restorative dentistry team at Capozzi Dental will work closely with you to create a smile that can restore confidence in your smile and functionality to improve your overall oral health.

Some Cosmetic Procedures Include:

  • Veneers– Allow for the gaps between your teeth to be closed by changing the tooth shape and alignment. Veneers also are able to cover up cosmetic surface defects and stains on your natural teeth. Not only do veneers provide a beautiful and natural new look to your smile, they can also add functionality in the case where your teeth are experiencing wear or are chipped and or broken. Once your veneers are completed, you’ll have that natural look and feel back!
  • Teeth WhiteningGetting professional teeth whitening can improve your confidence. Professional teeth whitening delivers optimum results in a relatively short amount of time. Performed under the supervision of a dentist, this method of whitening has gained popularity among those who either are dissatisfied with over-the-counter products. 
  • Dental ImplantsA major benefit to dental implants is that they preserve bone and prevent further deterioration of the facial structure, and therefore improve appearance. Implants give you a long-term solution for a smile compromised by missing teeth, and you’ll experience a dramatic improvement in chewing ability, teeth stability, and overall comfort.
  • Crowns & Bridges– Dental crowns are often used along with dental implants to completely restore your natural smile and replace missing teeth. We’re able to craft crowns with the help of our state-of-the-art dental lab using materials that will look and feel like your natural teeth while avoiding the black lines you sometimes see with dental implants and crowns. Our goal is to create a crown that looks so natural that your friends and family won’t be able to tell that you even have it!
  • Invisalign– Invisalign has emerged as a solution for repositioning wayward and improperly spaced teeth. Invisalign aligners promote optimal oral health, can be removed with ease, and allow you to eat the foods you love.
  • Fillings & Restorations– We’ve all seen or maybe even you have unsightly silver amalgam fillings. These fillings used to be the industry standard, and while they served their purpose for a long time, they can leave an undesired look in your mouth. Our team is able to use a natural tooth-colored composite filling material that seamlessly blends in with your teeth to maintain a natural look to your smile! We can create innovative restorative options for patients with larger cases of tooth decay when a smaller filling isn’t enough, these can include porcelain inlays and custom solutions.

The Takeaway

Smile enhancement can have dramatic results on your overall appearance; even the smallest step can boost your confidence, self-esteem, and make you want to smile more. With modern advances in dentistry, cosmetic procedures can range from basic color correction to replacing missing teeth, and everything in between.
