Cosmetic Dentistry in Redmond, WA
A Smile That Looks Like the Best Version of You
Whitening, veneers, bonding, and clear aligners, with you in the room for every decision.
The Smallest Change That Gets You There
A good cosmetic result starts with a real conversation. Your dentist spends time understanding what actually bothers you about your smile, what you would change if you could, and what you would never want to lose. From there, the smallest intervention that gets you the result you want is almost always the right one.
Sometimes that means whitening alone. Sometimes a single piece of bonding on one tooth. Sometimes a thoughtful set of veneers. What it should never mean is a full mouth of work when three teeth were the problem. We will tell you honestly what we recommend and why — and we are just as willing to tell you that nothing needs doing at all.
Common Concerns We Help With
- Teeth that have yellowed or darkened over the years
- A chip, crack, or worn edge you notice in every photo
- A small gap between your front teeth
- One tooth that looks different from the others in shape, color, or position
- Old composite or silver fillings that show when you smile
- Teeth that look short or worn down
- A smile that has aged faster than the rest of you
- A wedding, milestone, or career change you want to look your best for
What We Offer
Professional teeth whitening
In-office and take-home whitening that goes meaningfully further than anything sold at a drugstore, with your enamel and any sensitivity managed along the way. It is the least invasive cosmetic treatment there is, and often the only one someone actually needs.
Porcelain veneers
Custom porcelain shells bonded to the front of the teeth, changing shape, color, length, and alignment together. The biggest transformation available — and a permanent one, which is why we plan them slowly.

Bonding and reshaping
Tooth-colored composite sculpted directly onto the tooth to repair a chip, close a small gap, lengthen a short tooth, or replace an old filling that shows. Usually one visit, usually no anesthetic, and far more reversible than veneers.

Invisalign and clear aligners
When the real issue is position rather than shape or color, moving the teeth beats disguising them. Straightening first often means less drilling later if veneers are still on the table afterward.

Crowns and implants
For a tooth that is badly damaged, a porcelain crown restores both function and appearance. For a tooth that is gone, an implant replaces it from the root up.

How a Cosmetic Case Works Here
Step 1: An honest consultation
You tell us what bothers you. We examine, take photos and a digital scan, and walk through the realistic options — including what each one costs and what it commits you to. Nobody asks you to decide that day.
Step 2: A clear written plan
You leave with the recommended treatment, the sequence, the timeline, and the total cost in writing. If you want time to think it over, take it.
Step 3: Seeing it before it is permanent
For veneers and larger cases, we use a wax or digital mock-up so you can see the proposed shape and length before any irreversible work begins. Your feedback at this stage is the entire point of the step.
Step 4: Treatment
Most cosmetic treatment finishes in one to three visits. Whitening and bonding are often same-day; veneers take a preparation visit and a bonding visit, with comfortable temporaries in between.
Step 5: Making it last
Before you leave, we check the bite and go over care. If you grind or clench at night, a guard protects the work — grinding is the single most common reason cosmetic dentistry fails early.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where should I start if I’m not sure what I want?
With a consultation and no commitment. Most people arrive knowing something bothers them without knowing what would fix it. We examine, take photos, and lay out the realistic options with costs — and often the answer is simpler and less expensive than expected.
Should I whiten before veneers or bonding?
Yes — always. Porcelain and composite do not respond to whitening, so whatever shade your natural teeth are when the work is made is the shade it gets matched to. Whitening afterward leaves the restorations looking darker than everything around them.
Veneers or bonding — how do I choose?
Bonding is the conservative option: one visit, little or no enamel removed, and far easier to change your mind about later. Veneers cost more, take more than one visit, and permanently alter the tooth — but they last longer and handle bigger transformations. For one chipped tooth, bonding. For redesigning a whole smile, usually veneers.
Do I need to straighten my teeth before cosmetic work?
Sometimes, and it is worth asking about. If teeth are out of position, moving them with Invisalign first often means less tooth structure has to be removed for veneers afterward — or that veneers turn out not to be needed at all.
Will it look fake?
Not if it is planned around your face rather than a template. Shape, length, and shade are chosen to suit you, and for larger cases we use a mock-up so you see the proposed result before anything permanent happens. If you want a brighter, more uniform look, we can do that too — the point is that it is your call, made with your eyes open.
How long does cosmetic treatment take?
Most cases finish in one to three visits. Whitening and bonding are often same-day. Veneers involve a preparation visit and a bonding visit with temporaries in between, typically a few weeks apart. Invisalign runs six to eighteen months depending on the case.
How long do cosmetic results last?
Whitening typically holds for a year or two depending on coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco. Bonding lasts several years. Porcelain veneers last ten to twenty years or more. Grinding shortens all of these considerably, which is why we recommend a night guard for anyone who clenches.
Does insurance cover cosmetic dentistry?
Usually not when the purpose is purely appearance. When treatment also restores a decayed, fractured, or failing tooth, most PPO plans contribute. We verify your specific benefits and are clear about what is and is not covered before anything begins. CareCredit financing is available.
How much does cosmetic dentistry cost?
It varies enormously by treatment and by how many teeth are involved — whitening is the least expensive option, veneers the most. You get a written estimate covering the full plan before you commit to any of it, not a number per visit as you go.
Do you offer sedation for longer cosmetic appointments?
Yes. Oral sedation is available, and it is a common choice for patients combining several treatments into one longer visit or for anyone whose anxiety makes a long appointment difficult.
