Our cosmetic dentistry treatments

We offer professional whitening treatments that safely remove stains and discoloration for a noticeably brighter smile. Our dentists customize each treatment to your needs, using prescription-strength whitening agents that work quickly while minimizing sensitivity.

Bonding is a quick, affordable way to fix chips, close gaps, or smooth uneven edges. Using a tooth-colored resin carefully shaped and polished by Dr. O’Keefe or Dr. Watts, this treatment blends seamlessly with your natural teeth for a subtle, beautiful result.

Veneers are thin, custom shells that cover the front of your teeth to change their color, shape, size, or length. At Snow Pond Dentistry, our dentists use high-quality materials and precise planning to ensure your veneers look natural and feel comfortable, giving you a lasting smile transformation.

Oftentimes, patients who have complicated dental problems will need multiple treatment modalities to create the best esthetic result. When our patients have complex needs, we can provide a separate Smile Design consultation where we present the options available to create a beautiful outcome.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do cosmetic dentistry results last?

It depends on the treatment and how well you care for your teeth. Professional whitening can last several months to a year, bonding typically lasts 3–10 years, and veneers can last a decade or more with proper care. Regular dental visits and good home hygiene are absolutely essential to preserve your results.

Is cosmetic dentistry painful?

Most cosmetic procedures are comfortable and minimally invasive. Whitening may cause temporary sensitivity, while bonding and veneers typically produce little to no discomfort thanks to our dentists’ gentle approach and use of advanced techniques.

Will my new smile look natural?

Yes! Our doctors are committed to creating results that complement your facial features and look like a natural part of your smile. Every detail — from shade to shape — is customized to you.
