Cosmetic Dentistry
Do certain things about your smile make you unhappy, like discolored teeth or a visible gap? You don’t have to go through life without showing teeth when you smile. Many dental services are designed to improve how your teeth appear.
Our dental team at Laser Dentistry Online offers cosmetic dentistry in Bradenton, FL, to correct or even hide aesthetic flaws. The result is a smile you’ll look forward to showing off!
Why Choose Cosmetic Dental Services?
Maybe you’ve been thinking about finally having a chipped front tooth fixed. Or maybe you’re hoping to feel more confident when you’re around other people. No matter your reasons, cosmetic dentistry can help you reach those goals — while also providing these benefits:
- Improved smile
- Better oral health
- Increased confidence
What Different Types Are Available?
Cosmetic dentistry isn’t one size fits all. Just as there are several types of dental flaws, there are different services to address them. You may need a specific treatment or multiple treatments for the right results.
At Laser Dentistry Online, some of the cosmetic services we offer include:
- Veneers
- Clear braces
- Bonding
- Cosmetic crowns and bridges
- Tooth-colored composite fillings
- Laser gum contouring
- Whitening
- Partials and dentures
Composite and Porcelain Veneers
Looking for an alternative to crowns for covering imperfections? Veneers might be suitable for you. They’re thin coverings for your front teeth made of composite or porcelain to resemble natural teeth. Our dentist may recommend them for minor cracks and chips, bad tooth stains, spaces, and similar flaws.
Clear Braces
Do you need a subtle way to straighten teeth? Braces made of clear plastic allow you to correct crooked teeth and some misalignment issues without the visibility of metal braces. They gradually change the position of your teeth, straightening them.
Dental Bonding
Are you exploring affordable options for aesthetic dental flaws? Bonding may be the right solution for your budget! It’s a versatile treatment that conceals small imperfections, like gaps or uneven sizes and shapes. Our dentist applies bonding material to your teeth and molds it as needed.
Porcelain Crowns and Bridges
You may think of these as treatments for restoring damaged teeth — and that’s their main purpose. But we also use them for cosmetic services. Porcelain bridges and crowns blend with your natural teeth, resulting in a natural smile.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
Are you tired of having noticeable silver or metal fillings? We can replace them with composite fillings that are made to be the same color as your teeth. Or we may recommend this option if you need care for a damaged or decayed tooth.
Laser Gum Contouring
Is your smile gummy? That’s due to having too much tissue — a problem that laser gum reshaping helps correct! This treatment involves having your gums contoured using laser technology to reduce excess tissue, giving you a more even smile.
Teeth Whitening
Have years of drinking tea or coffee left your teeth stained? Foods like tomato sauce and berries can have the same effect. But our whitening services can eliminate stains, making your teeth shiny and bright again!
Partials and Dentures
Are you missing teeth? Depending on how many are gone, you may want to consider partial or full dentures for cosmetic reasons. These treatments replace teeth, restoring your smile along with tooth functionality.
What Can You Expect During Your Visits?
We won’t be treating your teeth right off the bat. Instead, we always begin with a consultation, allowing us to discuss your needs and evaluate your teeth. That visit helps our dentist make a treatment plan for you based on the results you’re hoping for.
After your consultation, we can set up appointments for your treatments. Depending on your plan, this might include just one session, a few, or several spread out over weeks or even months.
What Is the Timeframe for Cosmetic Treatments?
That’s going to depend on factors, such as which services are being done and how complex your treatment plan is. Mild stains might only take one whitening visit. But fixing crooked teeth can take months of treatment.
What to Expect from Cosmetic Results
You’ll have good results with the right preparation and proper treatment. Our dental team makes sure your teeth are fully ready, giving them a cleaning if needed or removing enamel for space. We’ll also give you advice on caring for your teeth after treatment to help those results last!

Turning to our dental team for all of your cosmetic dental needs means you can look forward to having a brilliant smile! Other reasons to choose us include:
- Customized treatments for desired results

FAQs on Cosmetic Dentistry
When should you consider it?
All it takes is being unsatisfied with the appearance of your teeth. No matter what’s bothering you about them, we can help you choose the right treatment.
How are crowns and veneers different?
They both cover your teeth. But veneers only cover the front surfaces, while crowns cover the whole tooth in most cases.
How long does whitening take?
Professional in-office whitening doesn’t take as long as DIY options. You may see results after your first visit, depending on how bad your tooth discoloration is.
How long can I expect results to last?
That varies based on treatment type and aftercare. Laser gum contouring might last a lifetime. But you may need whitening touch-ups or replacements for fillings or veneers.
Do your teeth need special care after cosmetic treatment?
They don’t usually need anything besides regular brushing and dental checkups. But we can recommend tips for maintaining your results based on the type of service you receive.
Can cosmetic services help crooked teeth?
Yes! Clear braces can straighten your teeth.
Are cosmetic dental services uncomfortable?
We take steps to minimize any discomfort, such as giving you a local anesthetic. We also have sedation available for anxiety.
