Cosmetic dentistry is a specialized branch of dental care focused on enhancing the aesthetics of your teeth, gums, and overall smile. While the primary goal is visual improvement, many cosmetic treatments also contribute to better dental function, alignment, and hygiene.
At our Sterling dental clinic, we take a comprehensive approach—blending artistry, dental science, and modern technology to deliver transformative outcomes.
Cosmetic dental treatments are designed to address a range of issues, including:
Most individuals with generally healthy teeth and gums are suitable candidates for cosmetic dental treatments. You’re likely a good fit if:
At Lake Center Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, we offer a comprehensive suite of cosmetic dentistry treatments tailored to enhance the beauty, balance, and function of your smile. Each service is performed with precision, artistic vision, and advanced technology to ensure long-lasting, natural-looking results.
Here’s what we offer:
Our in-office and take-home teeth whitening treatments safely and effectively remove years of surface stains caused by coffee, wine, tobacco, and aging, leaving you with a noticeably brighter smile in as little as one visit.
Best for: Yellowing, discoloration, dull teeth.
Custom-made, ultra-thin porcelain shells are bonded to the front surface of teeth to correct chips, stains, gaps, or slight misalignments. Veneers are a go-to option for patients seeking dramatic, smile-transforming results.
Best for: Worn, uneven, gapped, or discolored teeth.
Tooth-colored composite resin is used to fill cavities or repair minor chips and cracks, offering a seamless blend with the surrounding tooth structure. Unlike metal fillings, composite fillings are mercury-free and more aesthetically pleasing.
Best for: Cavities, minor chips, small fractures.
Dental crowns are custom caps placed over damaged, weakened, or aesthetically unappealing teeth to restore their shape, strength, and appearance. We offer natural-looking porcelain and ceramic options for a flawless finish.
Best for: Cracked teeth, large fillings, post-root canal protection, cosmetic reshaping.
A fixed dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring an artificial tooth (or teeth) to adjacent natural teeth or implants. Bridges not only restore function but also prevent teeth from shifting out of alignment.
Best for: Replacing missing teeth in a row without the need for removable appliances.
Porcelain inlays are custom restorations used to fill larger cavities within the biting surface of a tooth, offering superior strength and esthetics compared to traditional fillings.
Best for: Moderate tooth decay, fractured fillings, or large cavities in molars.
Porcelain onlays are similar to inlays but extend over one or more cusps of the tooth. They are often called “partial crowns” and are ideal when damage is too extensive for a filling but not enough to warrant a full crown.
Best for: Large decayed or damaged areas, fractured teeth, cosmetic upgrades.
At Lake Center Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, cosmetic dentistry is not just about enhancing appearance—it’s about improving your quality of life. Our patients often tell us that after treatment, they feel more confident, healthier, and happier in both personal and professional settings.
Here’s how cosmetic dentistry can make a meaningful difference:
When you’re proud of your smile, you’re more likely to show it. Whether it’s in a photo, a job interview, or a conversation, an attractive smile can enhance how others perceive you—and how you see yourself. Patients frequently report feeling more outgoing, less self-conscious, and ready to take on new opportunities after cosmetic treatment.
Cosmetic procedures often complement structural improvements. For example, dental bonding can restore chipped edges for better chewing, and veneers can correct bite irregularities. When your teeth are correctly aligned and free from damage, speaking, chewing, and biting become easier and more comfortable.
Modern cosmetic dentistry focuses on enhancing what’s already beautiful about your smile, without making it look artificial or overdone. At our clinic, every solution is personalized to your facial features, skin tone, lip line, and preferences. The result? A smile that looks natural and balanced—like you, but better.
Straighter, well-contoured teeth are easier to clean. Crowded or uneven teeth often trap plaque and food particles, increasing the risk of decay and gum disease. After cosmetic alignment or reshaping, your improved dental structure may help you maintain better hygiene and reduce the likelihood of oral health issues.
Cosmetic treatments, such as veneers, bonding, and Invisalign, provide long-term value when maintained with regular dental care. With proper oral hygiene and regular checkups, the benefits of cosmetic dentistry can last for years, making it a wise and durable investment in your health and appearance.
Although cosmetic dentistry may seem like a luxury, it often prevents more serious problems in the long run. For example, correcting minor chips or misalignments early can prevent future fractures, decay, or more expensive restorative work. Many patients find that cosmetic treatment saves them money in the long term.
Studies have shown that people with a healthy, attractive smile are often perceived as more trustworthy, successful, and approachable. A brighter, straighter smile can make a strong impression in both social and professional circles, especially in client-facing roles or leadership positions.

Treatment times vary depending on the procedure. Teeth whitening may take just one visit, while veneers or Invisalign may require multiple appointments over several weeks or months.
Most cosmetic procedures are minimally invasive and involve little to no discomfort. We use modern techniques to ensure your comfort throughout the process.
Cosmetic procedures are typically considered elective and may not be covered. However, some treatments with functional benefits (e.g., bonding for cracked teeth) might be partially covered. We offer financing options to make care affordable.
With proper oral hygiene and maintenance, treatments like veneers or bonding can last 10–15 years. Whitening results can last several months to a few years, depending on lifestyle habits.
