A smile plays a fundamental role in how you feel. Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of your smile, and several of its treatments restore function at the same time – straightening crooked teeth, brightening stained ones, or rebuilding a tooth that has been through a lot.
We offer cosmetic dental services at Gray Family Dental to patients in Janesville and the surrounding area. Schedule an appointment to find the treatment plan that fits what you want to change.
Cosmetic dentistry is the branch of oral care that primarily improves how your smile looks, with some treatments also addressing function. Whether you want straighter teeth or a brighter shade, it can help you feel more confident about your smile.
Many of these are elective, but some carry real restorative benefit by strengthening a damaged tooth or improving how your bite works.
Quick and minimally invasive. Tooth-colored resin is applied and shaped to match the affected tooth, concealing stains, closing small gaps, and repairing chips.
A restorative treatment that also improves appearance. Implants give artificial teeth a stable foundation, preserve the jawbone, and restore chewing power.
Thin custom shells of porcelain or composite resin bonded to the front of your teeth, concealing discoloration, chips, gaps, and other imperfections.
Reshapes and balances an uneven gum line for a more symmetrical smile.
Custom restorations for back teeth with damage or large cavities. An inlay sits inside the grooves; an onlay covers one or more cusps. Both preserve the natural tooth.
Coffee, wine, tobacco, some medication and plain ageing leave stains that brushing will not shift. Whitening is one of the most requested cosmetic treatments.
Cosmetic treatment follows an organized, multi-step process from planning to final placement. Depending on the procedure it may take a single visit, or run over several months for a full smile makeover.
You and your dentist talk through your goals and concerns, identify what you want changed, and set realistic expectations.
Your dentist examines your teeth, gums, bite, and overall health to work out which treatments fit. Photographs document your smile, you discuss the shade and shape you want, and digital X-rays are taken where needed to check for bone loss or decay.
You get walked through the options, with recommendations for your oral health, an estimated cost breakdown, financing options, and how long the whole thing will take.
Before anything starts you have time to raise questions, and you receive pretreatment instructions so you know how to prepare.
What you do at home protects the work. These are the general instructions – your dentist will adjust them for the specific treatment you have had.
Yes. Modern cosmetic care is generally very comfortable – our dentists use local anesthesia, gentle tools, and calm methods to minimize discomfort and anxiety during your visit. You may feel mild soreness or tooth sensitivity after some procedures, which is managed with aftercare and pain medication.
Anyone with healthy teeth and gums who wants to improve how their smile looks. Cosmetic and restorative dentistry can address discoloration, uneven or chipped teeth, and teeth missing through decay, disease, or trauma.
A personalized evaluation of your oral health and the things you want changed, followed by treatment recommendations and an honest discussion of what is realistically achievable. Depending on your goals, results may take a single visit or several.
