What is Cosmetic Dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of your teeth and smile. While restorative treatments address health and function, cosmetic procedures are all about how your smile looks. That includes correcting color, reshaping teeth, closing gaps, and replacing or repairing teeth thta have been chipped, creacked or worn down over time.

Whether you’re looking for something simple like whitening or you want a full smile makeover, Dr. Jensen will help you understand what’s possible and what will deliver the most natural-looking results. Every treatment plan starts with a conversation about what you want to change and ends with a smile you actually love.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to the most common questions about dental care, treatment options, and what to expect before your appointment.

Is cosmetic dentistry painful?

Most cosmetic treatments involve little to no discomfort. For procedures like veneers or bonding, we use local anesthetic to keep you comfortable throughout. Many patients are surprised at how easy the process actually is.

How long do veneers last?

Porcelain veneers typically last 10 to 15 years or longer with proper care. That means brushing, flossing, and keeping up with regular checkups. Avoiding habits like chewing ice or opening packages with your teeth helps too.

How long does teeth whitening take?

Our in-office Boost whitening treatment takes about an hour and delivers immediate results. We also offer KöR whitening and take-home kits for patients who prefer a more gradual approach on their own schedule.

Am I a good candidate for Invisalign?

Invisalign works well for mild to moderate crowding, spacing, and bite issues. Dr. Jensen can evaluate your teeth during a complimentary consultation and let you know if clear aligners are the right fit for your goals.

Does insurance cover cosmetic procedures?

Most cosmetic treatments are not covered by insurance, but some procedures like crowns may qualify depending on your plan. We offer financing through CareCredit and HFD with 0% interest options to help make treatment affordable.

Can I combine multiple cosmetic treatments?

Absolutely. Many patients combine treatments like whitening and bonding or veneers and Invisalign as part of a full smile makeover. Dr. Jensen will help you prioritize and sequence treatments for the best results.

This was a new patient appointment. Everyone was pleasant and welcoming. The hygienist did a thorough workup and history. The cleaning was great. After the cleaning Dr Jensen examined my teeth. I thought they did a really good job. 👍. On the second appointment the technician and Doctor prepared a tooth for a crown. The tooth had had a large filling, then a cavity developed as well as cracks. They explained each step, took pics of the tooth and then showed them to me. They made sure I was comfortable throughout the process. I was pleased with the process and the Doctor and her technician. Well done.

My permanent crown was put on Tuesday. It is a good fit and the bite is great. Very happy.

Dr. Natalie is absolutely AMAZING!!! She was so gentle with my little one and made today go so smooth. She made this process so easy for this momma. Kiddo came out in great spirits and said he loves going to the dentist. That's saying alot from a kiddo who had two extractions, two caps and some filling work done. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking such good care of my little one. Everyone at this office is amazing, from start to finish! Shandolyn at the front desk is top tier! Corrina you are this mommy's hero for holding his hands to make him feel safe, you are fantastic! 10/10 would recommend!!! Thank you all!

Clean office, friendly staff and knowledgeable dentist. Found myself needing somewhat of an emergency appointment and Staley Dental got me in within 2 hours. Their staff was super friendly and made me feel right at home. Doctor Natalie was super kind and knew exactly how to liberate me from my pain. Within 30 minutes I was back outside, less a wisdom tooth, but much wiser for knowing I have found my dentist for routine care. I highly recommend them! Thank you so much!
