What is Cosmetic Dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of your teeth, gums, and overall smile. While these procedures often have aesthetic benefits, many can also improve your teeth' function and improve oral health. From simple teeth whitening to more complex procedures like crowns, cosmetic dentistry can address a wide range of dental concerns and help you achieve a more attractive, confident smile.

What to Expect at Your Cosmetic Dentistry Appointment

When you visit South Peters Dentistry for a cosmetic dentistry consultation, you can expect a thorough and personalized experience:

We'll begin with a comprehensive examination of your teeth and gums, including digital X-rays if necessary.

Dr. Hunley will discuss your smile goals and concerns with you, listening carefully to understand your expectations.

Based on this assessment, we'll recommend treatment options tailored to your needs and preferences.

We'll explain each procedure in detail, including expected outcomes, treatment duration, and associated costs.

Once you've decided on a treatment plan, we'll schedule your procedure(s) at a time convenient for you.

Knoxville, TN Cosmetic Dentistry Options

At South Peters Dentistry, we offer several cosmetic dentistry services to help you achieve your ideal smile:

Teeth Whitening

Our professional teeth whitening treatments can dramatically brighten your smile, removing years of stains and discoloration. We offer in-office whitening for quick results and take-home kits for more gradual whitening at your convenience. Our treatments are safe and effective and can lighten your teeth by several shades in just one session.

Bonding, Shaping & Contouring

Dental bonding is a versatile procedure that can repair chipped or cracked teeth, close small gaps, and improve the shape or color of teeth. Dr. Hunley applies a tooth-colored resin material to your tooth, shapes it, and then hardens it with a special light. This process can often be completed in a single visit.


Tooth shaping and contouring involve removing small amounts of tooth enamel to change the shape, length, or surface of one or more teeth. This technique can correct minor imperfections and create a more harmonious smile.


Crowns

Dental crowns are cap-like structures that fit over your existing teeth. They can be used to restore severely damaged or decayed teeth, cover misshapen or discolored teeth, or protect a tooth after a root canal procedure. At South Peters Dentistry, we use high-quality ceramic crowns that match the color and shape of your natural teeth, providing both strength and aesthetic appeal.

Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs

  • How long do cosmetic dentistry treatments last?

    The longevity of cosmetic treatments varies. Teeth whitening may need to be regularly touched, while crowns can last many years with proper care.

  • Is cosmetic dentistry painful?

    Most cosmetic procedures are minimally invasive and cause little to no discomfort. For more extensive treatments, we ensure your comfort with appropriate anesthesia.

  • How much does cosmetic dentistry cost?

    Costs vary depending on the specific treatment and your individual needs. We'll provide a detailed estimate during your consultation and discuss financing options if needed.

  • Will my insurance cover cosmetic dentistry procedures?

    Most dental insurance plans don't cover purely cosmetic procedures. However, some treatments that improve both function and aesthetics may be partially covered. Our team can help you understand your insurance benefits.

  • How do I maintain my results after cosmetic dental work?

    Good oral hygiene, regular dental checkups, and following any specific care instructions provided by Dr. Hunley will help maintain your results for as long as possible.
