Cosmetic dentistry with a health-first spine
Dr. Basil’s rule for cosmetic work is simple: the healthiest, most conservative path to the result you want. Sometimes that’s whitening and an hour of bonding, not a mouthful of porcelain — and he’ll tell you when it is.
Beautiful dentistry built on unhealthy foundations doesn’t stay beautiful — so every cosmetic case here starts with the unglamorous checks: healthy gums, a sound bite, teeth worth investing in. Then we reach for the most conservative tool that honestly achieves your goal. Sometimes that’s whitening and an hour of bonding, not a mouthful of porcelain — and when that’s true, we’ll say so. The smile should look like you on your best day, not like dentistry.
Start with the end picture
For bigger transformations, our Digital Smile Design workflow means you approve your new smile — designed on your own face, worn as a trial smile over your real teeth — before any irreversible step. Every option along the way comes with its honest trade-offs and a written plan with real numbers. Cosmetic dentistry is the most personal purchase in this building; it deserves to be decided with evidence, not imagination.

Good to know
Cosmetic dentistry questions, answered
Will my result look natural?
That’s the entire point of designing digitally around your face. You’ll preview the design — and with a trial smile, physically wear it — before anything permanent happens, so “too perfect” or “not me” gets fixed on screen, not in your mouth.
Where should I start if I don’t know what I need?
With a consultation. Tell Dr. Basil what bothers you about your smile; he’ll show you what’s creating it and the realistic ways to change it — often simpler and less invasive than patients expect.
Is cosmetic dentistry bad for my teeth?
Done conservatively, no — and conservative is the philosophy here. We preserve healthy tooth structure wherever possible (no-prep veneers, bonding, aligners) because oral health is the foundation the esthetics stand on.
What does cosmetic treatment cost?
It depends entirely on the plan — a single bonded chip and a full smile design are different undertakings. After your consultation you’ll have an exact written figure and financing options.
What’s the most affordable way to improve my smile?
Usually whitening, sometimes with an hour of bonding for a chip or small gap — a modest investment that covers a surprising share of what people want. We’ll tell you plainly if that’s enough for your goal, or what the next step up actually buys you.
How can I know what my new smile would look like?
With Digital Smile Design, you don’t imagine it — you see it: designed on photos and video of your own face, then worn as a trial smile over your real teeth before anything permanent happens. Approving the destination first is the whole philosophy.
Does insurance cover cosmetic dentistry?
Purely cosmetic treatment generally isn’t covered, but much of this work overlaps with restorative care — a broken tooth crowned beautifully is still a covered crown. Your written plan separates the two honestly, so you see what benefits apply before you decide.
