request an appointmentWhat is cosmetic dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry is an area of dental practice focused on enhancing the appearance of your smile. It’s a great option for people who are self-conscious of one or more aspects of their smile. Never before have there been so many options when it comes to cosmetic dentistry.
There is a solution to suit every set of needs and a range of choices for every budget. In fact, the sheer volume of available options can make it hard to know where to begin.
At Oasis Family Dentistry, your dentist works closely with you to learn your treatment goals, timeline, and budget. A customized treatment plan will help you move one step closer to your ideal smile.
What are some cosmetic dentistry treatments?
You have options when it comes to enhancing the aesthetics of your smile. Some of the more popular cosmetic treatments include:
- Dental crowns
- Dental implants
- Bridges
- Dentures
- Teeth whitening
- Tooth-colored fillings
- Dental veneers
- Inlays and onlays
Some of these treatments also offer restorative benefits. When a dental treatment serves to strengthen, protect, or repair a damaged tooth, it may be covered under dental insurance. Most policies rarely cover treatments that are purely cosmetic in nature.
In cases where two options serve the same purpose, you’ll learn more about each approach to give you all the details you need to make an informed decision about your care.
What is a smile redesign?
A smile redesign, also commonly known as a smile makeover, is a combination of dental treatments that can beautify your smile. More than one treatment is necessary to achieve optimal cosmetic benefits in many cases.
Just as no two smiles are ever exactly alike, your smile redesign is also unique. Your dentist assesses your bone structure and the curve of your smile to create a customized treatment plan that delivers beautiful results.
You’ll learn the pros and cons of various options as well as the cost for each approach. There’s never any pressure to choose one treatment over another, and you’re encouraged to play an active role in creating your own smile redesign treatment plan.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cosmetic Dentistry in Woodinville
What cosmetic dentistry services does Oasis Family Dentistry offer?
Oasis Family Dentistry offers a comprehensive range of cosmetic dental services including professional teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, dental bonding, and complete smile redesigns.
How do I know which cosmetic dental treatment is right for me?
The best cosmetic treatment depends on your specific goals, the current condition of your teeth, and your budget. During a cosmetic consultation at Oasis Family Dentistry, we will listen to what you love and what you’d like to change about your smile and recommend the most appropriate options tailored to your needs.
Is cosmetic dentistry covered by dental insurance?
Most purely cosmetic procedures such as teeth whitening and veneers are not covered by dental insurance since they are elective. However, some treatments — like dental bonding used to repair a chipped tooth — may have partial coverage. Our team will help you understand your benefits and explore our financial options.
How long do cosmetic dental results last?
Longevity varies by treatment. Professional teeth whitening results can last 1–3 years. Dental bonding typically lasts 5–10 years. Porcelain veneers can last 10–20 years or longer with good care. Maintaining excellent oral hygiene and attending regular dental cleanings helps maximize your results.
Will cosmetic dental work look natural?
Absolutely. Modern cosmetic dentistry uses tooth-colored materials matched carefully to your natural tooth shade, shape, and translucency. Our goal at Oasis Family Dentistry is always a smile that looks naturally beautiful — one that enhances your features without looking artificial.
Is cosmetic dentistry painful?
Most cosmetic dental procedures involve little to no discomfort. Teeth whitening may cause temporary sensitivity. Procedures like bonding or veneers may require minimal tooth preparation with local anesthesia. For patients with dental anxiety, we offer sedation dentistry options to ensure a relaxed, comfortable experience.
