Cosmetic dentistry is any treatment chosen mainly for how your teeth look: chipped edges, stains that whitening cannot lift, gaps, a tooth that is a different shade from its neighbors, or a smile you have simply stopped showing in photos. Dr. Chelsea Mason plans each case around what bothers you, then picks the least invasive way to fix it.

Your oral health affects your overall well-being and goes far beyond just the teeth and gums. Dr. Chelsea Mason takes an integrative approach to understanding dental health and its connection to overall health. Today, dental health can no longer be considered or treated in isolation from the rest of the body.
Good cosmetic dentistry is invisible. The goal is teeth that look like they were always that way, matched to your face, your skin tone and how you talk and smile. Dr. Mason uses digital photos and shade matching in natural light, and for veneers you approve a wax mock-up before anything is bonded.

Bonding is the least expensive, whitening next, veneers the most. Most smile makeovers combine two or three treatments. You get an itemized quote at the free consultation, and we offer payment plans and CareCredit.
Bonding is done in one visit, costs less and works well for small chips and gaps. Veneers are custom porcelain, resist stains, last longer and give the most dramatic change. Dr. Mason will show you both options on your own teeth.
Porcelain veneers typically last 10 to 15 years or more with normal care. Avoid chewing ice and wear a night guard if you grind.
Not if they are done well. We match shade in natural light, keep proportions in line with your face, and you approve a mock-up before final work. Most people are told they look rested, not that they had dental work.
Usually not for purely cosmetic treatment, but some procedures like crowns on damaged teeth are partly covered. We check your benefits so you know before you start.
Yes, and you should. Porcelain and bonding do not whiten later, so we whiten first and match the new work to your brighter shade.
