cosmetic dentistry in snohomish
veneers, bonding and natural-looking crowns to balance your smile — built on healthy teeth, and nothing done that doesn’t need doing.
01
what we do
a new front for a few teeth
thin porcelain or composite shells bonded to the front of your teeth to change their shape, size or color.
small fixes, usually one visit
tooth-colored resin, shaped and polished right on the tooth, to repair a chip, close a small gap or cover a stain.
strength and looks together
for a tooth that needs protecting as well as improving — shaded to match the teeth around it.
straighter, without brackets
sometimes straightening is the only cosmetic work a smile needs.
a plan, in the right order
a combination of the above, done in the right order, at a pace and a cost you agree to first.
02
how we approach it
health comes first. cavities and gum problems get treated before anything cosmetic, so the work lasts.
we’ll show you what’s realistic, explain every option and its cost, and tell you when something simpler will get you most of the way there.

faq
cosmetic questions
veneers or bonding?+
bonding is quicker and costs less, and it suits small chips and gaps. veneers last longer, resist stains and suit bigger changes. we’ll tell you which fits your teeth.
is cosmetic dentistry covered by insurance?+
purely cosmetic work usually isn’t. if bonding or a crown also repairs damage, part of it may be. we’ll check your coverage and submit the claim for you.
how long do veneers last?+
often ten years or more with good care. bonding usually needs touching up sooner.
do veneers damage my teeth?+
porcelain veneers usually need a thin layer of enamel removed so they sit flush, which can’t be undone. bonding usually needs little or none. we’ll explain the trade-off before you decide.
can bonding fix a chipped front tooth?+
often, yes. small chips are what bonding does best, and it’s usually done in one visit.
