Porcelain Veneers
If there are several cosmetic flaws chipping away at your smile and self-confidence, porcelain veneers can provide you with the amazing transformation you need. Made from ultra-thin pieces of porcelain, your new veneers will be handcrafted to perfectly fit your mouth and enhance your overall appearance, taking into account any changes or preferences you have in mind. Better yet, the procedure only takes two appointments – one for us to discuss the treatment with you and take impressions, and another for us to place your brand-new, gorgeous veneer.
Metal-Free Dental Crowns
In the past, dentists would use metal materials to craft restorations like fillings and crowns. While they were known to be durable, they caused several unwanted side-effects, like gum and tooth discoloration and dental sensitivity, and weren’t aesthetically pleasing. We offer dental crowns and fillings that are made from biocompatible, safe, and natural-looking materials like zirconia, Emax, and porcelain, that are made to stand the test of time and look excellent.
Cosmetic Dental Bonding
Cosmetic bonding is a cost-effective and fast treatment that we offer for patients who have cracked, broken, discolored, or damaged teeth. Using composite resin, our team can rebuild the missing structure of a tooth and adhere it to your natural enamel, allowing it to function just as your entire tooth once did. With the proper care, bonding can last for over five years.
Teeth Whitening
We offer four distinct whitening solutions, developed and proposed for each patient’s unique needs, adopted based on years of experience with the full range of whitening products in the marketplace. We offer two in-office systems, and two take-home systems. In evaluating which system may be best for you, we’ll talk with you about your whitening experiences and future aesthetic goals, teeth sensitivity, and desired convenience.
- For patients with higher teeth sensitivity also looking for a convenient solution, we offer Smile Perfected, where after just 20 minutes under a light-activated whitening solution, patient’s have experienced a multiple shade improvement (or more). In combination with the in-office whitening, patients will also receive take-home, touch-up tools.
- For patients looking for a more dramatic experience, we offer KöR in-office whitening. This procedure requires a greater commitment, but the results can be dramatic.
- Finally, we offer two KöR take-home whitening solutions for those patients looking for identifiable improvement, with custom whitening trays, which require a two-week commitment to wearing the trays, either for 30 minutes each day or for eight hours each night.
- An additional enhanced option for patients looking for a phenomenal whitening solution is to combine the KöR in-office and take-home whitening solutions.

Gum Recontouring
When you catch a glimpse of your smile in the mirror, does it look disproportionate because your gums are way more apparent than your teeth? After working so hard to keep your pearly whites healthy, it makes sense that you’d want them to be the most notable feature of your grin. With gum recontouring, our dentists can reshape the frame of your smile so it appears more symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing.
Smile Makeovers
Some patients may benefit from a combination of restorative and cosmetic dentistry services such as tooth-colored fillings, veneers, or dental implants. As a dental office that focuses on aesthetic value, we’d be happy to help you determine which treatments will offer optimum results. In fact, we’d love for you to bring in photos of some of your favorite smiles so that we can pinpoint attributes to incorporate!
When choosing a smile makeover, we will start by closely examining your oral health and discussing your vision of a gorgeous smile. We will explain any available options and also show you (using a computer image, before-and-after photos, or a wax model) what the results might look like following our proposed treatment plan. Our administrative team can also work with you to plan out any creative scheduling or financing that you need. We believe that everyone deserves a sensational smile, and we’d love to help you get one!

Understanding the Cost of Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry can dramatically enhance any smile, but many patients worry about the costs associated with such transformative treatment. The fact is, the price varies depending on several factors—and insurance generally doesn’t cover it. So, how can you be sure you can afford a new smile? At Aesthetic & Family Dentistry of Washington, our team is dedicated to helping you reach your smile goals, even where money is concerned. Read more below to learn about the cost of cosmetic treatment and how we can help you afford your enhancements.
What Cosmetic Dental Service is Right for Me?
The “right” cosmetic treatment depends on your specific needs and goals! Here are some of the most popular options:
- Teeth whitening is a great choice if you’re looking to brighten your smile and our practice offers four different options at varying price points to help you find the perfect solution for your budget.
- Cosmetic dental bonding fixes minor chips, cracks, or unevenness with a special light-activated resin. It’s highly affordable and quick!
- Porcelain veneers are ideal for more complex or varied issues. They’re more of an up-front investment, but they can address multiple cosmetic problems like chipped, stained, or slightly misaligned teeth at once!
- Gum recontouring can make your “gummy smile” disappear like magic. Our team uses a specialized soft tissue laser to remove excess gum tissue over your teeth, permanently giving you a more beautiful smile.
For patients with multiple aesthetic concerns, a smile makeover, which combines several procedures, might be the best approach. However, there’s no way to know for sure what your treatment plan will look like until you’ve had a consultation with our team.
During your visit, we’ll evaluate your oral health, discuss your goals, and work with you to find the best treatments to help you achieve them. We’ll also discuss your budget and offer options for financing and getting the results you want without breaking the bank.
Cosmetic Dentistry Can Be An Investment Worth Making
Cosmetic dentistry can boost your self-esteem and improve your quality of life. Imagine yourself with a beautiful, confident smile. How would you feel to look in the mirror and love what you see? Do you think you’d be more confident at work and finally land your big promotion? Though these treatments may require an upfront investment, the long-term benefits could make it a worthwhile choice for you!
How to Make Cosmetic Dentistry Affordable
While cosmetic dentistry isn’t typically covered by insurance, there are several options to make it more affordable. For example, our practice offers flexible financing options, like CareCredit and Cherry, which allow you to break down the cost into manageable monthly payments.
We also offer in-house membership plans that provide discounts on all our procedures, even cosmetic ones, without the hassle of deductibles, waiting periods, or yearly maximums!
Before starting treatment, we’ll discuss all your available payment options with you, so you’ll never be surprised about the cost of your treatment. We’re confident that we can help you find a plan that fits your budget and helps you get the treatment you need. So, don’t wait! Call us today and schedule your consultation. A new, dazzling smile awaits!
