A Closer Look at Your Treatment Options A Range of Cosmetic Dentistry Solutions
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are an incredibly versatile solution for chips, gaps, discoloration, and more. The treatment involves bonding thin, enamel-colored porcelain shells to the front surface of your teeth. All of our veneers are custom-designed to match your natural teeth and are crafted from premium materials at our trusted dental lab. Depending on your needs, our cosmetic dentist can place a single veneer or a set of veneers to enhance your smile.
Pros:
- Can treat many issues at once
- Offers natural-looking results
- With proper care, veneers can last 10 years or more
Cons:
- They are priced individually, so treatment for multiple veneers can get expensive
- The procedure involves some enamel removal, so it is not reversible
- They are used only for cosmetic purposes on anterior teeth, not molars

Dental Crowns
A dental crown can hide many types of dental imperfections and also strengthen a tooth. Unlike a porcelain veneer, a dental crown caps the entire tooth structure rather than just the front surface. Our dentist may recommend dental crowns if you have cracks, chips, wear, or other damage that could compromise the health of your teeth. Our modern crowns are made from natural-looking porcelain and will look virtually indistinguishable from your surrounding teeth.
Pros:
- If the crown will provide health benefits, it may qualify for insurance coverage
- Can also be used as a restorative dentistry treatment
- With proper care, crowns can last 15 years or more
Cons:
- Require extensive alteration of the tooth

Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening can make a dramatic difference in the appearance of your smile. Whitening is effective for surface stains, and yellowing caused by repeated exposure to dark-colored foods and drinks or tobacco products. Unlike over-the-counter whitening products, professional treatment is incredibly effective and can lighten the teeth by several shades in under an hour. Patients can choose to have their whitening done in the office to see the fastest results or take-home treatment to whiten at their own convenience.
Pros:
- Relatively inexpensive
- Quick treatment
- Dramatic results
Cons:
- Only treats extrinsic stains
- Doesn't address other cosmetic dental issues

Invisalign®
If you want to close gaps or straighten your teeth without wearing braces, consider Invisalign clear aligners. Invisalign uses a series of flexible trays to gently move the teeth into the proper position. Patients will wear their aligners for 20-22 hours a day to gradually perfect their alignment and balance their bite. While orthodontics is a more extensive cosmetic treatment, the results can dramatically improve your self-esteem and oral health. Dr. Krendl is an Invisalign-certified provider and a trusted source for your orthodontic treatment.
Pros:
- Results are permanent with proper maintenance
- Treatment may be covered by insurance
Cons:
- Results can take a year or more

Dental Bonding
Dental bonding is an affordable procedure to mask stains, gaps, and other minor dental imperfections. Bonding consists of a tooth-colored composite resin–the same material that is used for a white filling. Our cosmetic dentist will apply the bonding to your enamel and artfully sculpt the material to look like a natural part of your teeth. Bonding is very easy and does not require any downtime or waiting periods. Our dentist often recommends treatment for patients who are unsure about porcelain veneers, or those who are looking to ease into cosmetic dentistry.
Pros:
- Quick; treatment can typically be completed in one hour at our Littleton office
- Inexpensive
Cons:
- Re-treatment may be needed in about five years
- Results don't look as realistic as veneers

Smile Makeover
A smile makeover can address everything ranging from more complex problems down to the smallest details. Each smile makeover is a custom-designed treatment that combines multiple techniques found in cosmetic and restorative dentistry solutions. Patients can correct all the insecurities they have about their teeth in a single streamlined procedure without needing multiple trips to various dentists' offices.
Pros:
- All cosmetic dental issues can be addressed in one comprehensive treatment plan
- A better value than having procedures done separately, saving time and materials
Cons:
- Costlier than other treatments due to the combination of multiple procedures
