Cosmetic dentistry addresses aesthetic concerns that patients have with their teeth and overall smile. Cosmetic treatments can correct discoloration, chips or cracks in the teeth, gaps, oddly shaped or sized teeth, and can repair the structure of a tooth with a natural-looking restoration.
A variety of cosmetic treatments, including bonding & contouring, veneers, teeth whitening, and gum surgery can improve a patient’s smile by restoring the appearance of the teeth and gums. Cosmetic dentistry is often not just purely cosmetic, as it can also be used to correct damaged teeth, repair receding gums, and cover up exposed nerves or cracks in the teeth.
As a result, patients feel much more confident in themselves and feel happier. This creates a domino effect for the rest of their lives, as they’re more likely to go to social events, take photos, and can even be more likely to get a promotion or nail a job interview.

We offer both in-office and take-home teeth whitening treatments at Consultants in Dental Aesthetics. Our office is located at 9700 Louetta Road, Spring, TX 77379. In-office whitening is a great option if you are interested in rapid results. In this treatment, our team will apply powerful whiteners to your teeth, providing a smile that’s up to 5-10 shades brighter in a single consultation, individual results will vary. At our office we use:
• Go Trays
• Boost
• KOR
• Ritual Whitening
Be sure to consult with your Spring dentist to see which whitening process will work best for your smile. Don't wait to schedule your consultation, and take the first step towards a brighter, more confident smile.
Get In TouchIn-office whitening is an extremely effective and rapid method used to whiten the teeth in the dental chair. A peroxide-based whitening gel is applied to each of your teeth individually and is activated with a UV light.
We protect your cheeks and soft tissue with the use of cheek protractors and protective gel. You never have to worry about causing oral damage or extreme sensitivity when opting to get a professional whitening by a dentist in Spring, TX.
The shade of your teeth can be lightened by up to 5-10 shades in a single hour-long appointment. If you have severe discoloration, you may require multiple appointments to achieve your desired goals.
This is perfect for special events like weddings, dances, photographs, or business events when you are short on time and your teeth need a quick pick-me-up. We serve both Spring and Kohrville, TX.
Don’t have the time to sit for an hour to get a whitening treatment and would rather whiten your teeth from home? Much like over-the-counter whitening trays, we use take-home trays that you’ll wear each day for 2 weeks to gradually whiten your teeth.
Unlike drugstore whitening trays, however, we take impressions of your teeth to create a custom-fit mouthpiece just for you. This ensures that the whitening agent doesn’t come into contact with your gums. We also use a specially formulated peroxide-based whitening gel that is a lower concentration than in-office whitening.
This is why you need to wear the trays for longer to achieve the same results. If you have sensitive teeth, this is a great option and you are less likely to experience significant sensitivity due to the lower peroxide concentration.
Veneers are thin shells of porcelain that are placed over your existing teeth once some of the natural enamel has been removed to accommodate them. These veneers attach tightly to your enamel, and camouflage and replace the front chewing surfaces of the teeth to cover up imperfections like stained teeth, gaps between teeth, misshapen and uneven teeth, and slightly crooked teeth. With a stain-resistant design and long lifespan, they are a great investment for your dream smile.
Lumineers are very similar to traditional veneers. While they look nearly identical, Lumineers are much thinner than veneers. In fact, they’re about the same thickness as a contact lens. Because of this, they can typically be placed in your mouth without removing any enamel. This means that Lumineers are less invasive, and that the procedure is reversible, unlike with traditional veneers.
Dental bonding is an affordable way to improve the aesthetics of your smile. For this treatment, your doctor will apply dental resin directly to your tooth, and use dental instruments to reshape and sculpt the resin. Then, it will be hardened and polished until it looks just like a natural part of your smile, covering up imperfections like minor chips, gaps between teeth, and stains. The treatment is completely non-invasive and takes only one appointment at our office.
Shaping and contouring is a treatment that’s often used alongside bonding. In this treatment, your doctor will use a special instrument to buff away a thin layer of enamel from teeth with points or minor chips, or from uneven teeth. This helps create a more even, aesthetically-appealing smile, particularly when paired with dental bonding. In addition, your doctor may recommend gum sculpting to make the top of the teeth even or add length to shorter teeth.
Gum recession is a common result of gum disease, but can also happen because of overzealous brushing. With the Pinhole Surgery Technique (PST), our team can reverse gum recession in a single, 1-hour appointment.
Your mouth will be cleaned and numbed, then a “pinhole” incision is made in the gum tissue. The gum tissue will then be lifted to place a special collagen strip beneath the gums. These strips stabilize your gums and teeth, and allow your natural gum tissue to heal and regrow, reversing the effects of gum recession and restoring your smile.
Yes, many cosmetic treatments don’t just treat aesthetic problems in isolation. They also offer restorative properties such as repairing damaged, chipped, or eroded enamel. Many procedures such as dental bonding, tooth-colored crowns, and veneers are used to cover up damaged teeth.
This provides them with extra strength and durability and covers exposed tooth roots. While you may want to undergo Invisalign treatment for aesthetic reasons, correcting misaligned teeth can improve your oral health by making it easier to thoroughly brush and floss.
When teeth are overlapping or crooked, they are more prone to trapping food particles and bacteria. Correcting gum recession may improve your smile but it's also much better for your oral health. Receding gums put you at high risk for gum disease and causes tooth and gum sensitivity.
When patients undergo a whitening treatment or cover up aesthetic imperfections, they are also more likely to care for their teeth through regular brushing, flossing, and cleanings. This prevents tooth decay and gum disease by preventing plaque and tartar buildup.
No, no one will be able to tell you’ve had cosmetic dental work done. This is because we very meticulously plan, design, and carry out your cosmetic treatments keeping in mind how we can uphold the cosmetic harmony of your smile and make it look as natural as possible.
We do this by matching the shade of tooth shells, caps, and restorations to your natural teeth using a shade guide. When we whiten your teeth, we assess the severity of your discoloration to determine if a more intense whitening treatment in the office is suitable for you or if you need a slight whitening boost.
By taking impressions of your teeth, we can fabricate custom-made restorations that perfectly fit over your teeth and blend in with your smile by matching them in size and shape to your natural teeth.
Cosmetic dentistry is important because it improves a patient’s overall appearance, confidence, tooth functionality, oral health, and oral hygiene. We’re all well aware of the cosmetic benefits of cosmetic dentistry.
Each cosmetic treatment is incredibly versatile in its ability to improve the appearance of the teeth and gums. When you feel better about your smile and look forward to taking photos and going to social events again, you feel a boost of confidence that can increase your well-being. Cosmetic dentistry has more significant benefits to your oral health, too.
By correcting misaligned teeth, we can improve your bite which prevents plaque accumulation and makes it easier to speak and eat. Veneers and dental bonding strengthen the teeth and provide a layer of protection between your enamel and the restoration. By covering up chips and cracks, we prevent further damage and infections. This can ultimately save your teeth from extraction. Finally, when you invest in your smile, you’re more likely to care for it so cosmetic dentistry promotes good oral hygiene.
