Overview

About Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry starts with what you would like to change about your smile. At Dawson Dental in Peoria, Dr. Brandon Dawson considers your oral health and the smallest appropriate treatment, then explains the options, tradeoffs, and care involved.

Key Takeaways

Aesthetic Crowns and Bridge Case

This patient had significant tooth wear and older dental work that was beginning to fail. Because veneers would not have provided the strength or coverage needed, Dr. Dawson developed a personalized treatment plan using aesthetic dental crowns and a dental bridge. The treatment restored worn and compromised teeth, replaced missing teeth, and created a healthier, natural-looking smile.

Teeth Whitening

If your main concern is tooth color, whitening may be worth considering before treatment that changes tooth structure. We evaluate the cause of discoloration and discuss an appropriate approach and possible sensitivity.

Whitening changes natural teeth differently from crowns, veneers, or fillings, so existing dental work matters when planning the result. Learn about teeth whitening.

Porcelain Veneers

Veneers can address selected concerns about tooth shape, color, chips, and gaps. They usually involve removing some enamel, so the decision deserves careful evaluation and a discussion of alternatives.

No-prep veneers are an option for selected patients. Read about veneer candidacy, planning, and care and see a real Dawson Dental case.

Dental Bonding

Tooth-colored resin can be shaped to repair selected small chips or change a tooth’s appearance. Bonding may be a conservative option for some goals, although it can stain, chip, or need maintenance.

Learn how cosmetic bonding compares with other approaches during your consultation.

A Smile Plan That Starts With You

Tell Dr. Dawson what you would like to change and what you like about your smile. We evaluate your oral health, explain reasonable options, and discuss the amount of treatment involved, costs, and maintenance.

Physical models, digital mock-ups, or temporary bonding in suitable cases can help you explore a proposed design. These previews help you communicate preferences; final results depend on your teeth and treatment.

Clear Aligners and Tooth Position

When alignment is the main concern, moving the teeth may be appropriate before considering veneers or other restorations. Candidacy depends on the bite and the movements needed.

Read about clear aligners. Treatment requires consistent wear and follow-up, and some situations call for a different orthodontic approach.
