Peoria Cosmetic Dentistry

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

Start with your goals and the health of your teeth and gums.

Whitening, bonding, alignment, veneers, and crowns address different needs.

Compare the amount of treatment, maintenance, timing, and cost.

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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Less than a year ago, I had a crown replaced by Dr. Dawson. All was well until recently. It just didn't feel right. He took x-rays and then without any hesitation offered to replace it at no charge. This was successfully completed yesterday. Thank you, Dr. Dawson. Once again... all is well. I was originally referred to this dental office about seven years ago by a friend, but I live about seven miles away. Over the years, I've had my teeth cleaned here every six months along with other needs. I always notice all the other dental offices while driving to this office. Two years ago, I was apprehensive with the change of leadership that took place and considered some of those closer options. I'm not going anywhere else though, because Dr. Dawson and the team continue to offer great service.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been going to the dental for this dentist for about 10+ years. I have had nothing but excellent experience. Lis has been an excellent asset to the company without her help I would’ve left when Dr. Ostler left but because of Liz I stayed and the service is always the best I highly recommend Dr. Dawson they work with you they have knowledge and they know what they’re doing if you have any information, call Lis, she has all the answers

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My previous dentist retired and Dawson Dental took over; I’ve been with them a little over a year and before today only had twice a year cleanings done; all three cleanings that I had done were excellent; today I had to get three fillings with two on one side and one on the other. Never felt the shots and never had any pain through the entire process. In and out in less than an hour. My wife or I also never have felt pressured to have additional dental work done. Highly recommend Dawson Dental

The staff is very welcoming and always manages to make the trip to the dentist not feel so bad. Avry is awesome! She is a great addition to the store
