Smile Makeovers

If you’re hoping to make several changes to your smile, a smile makeover can bring different cosmetic treatments together into a personalized plan. Depending on your needs, this may include teeth whitening, dental bonding, veneers, or esthetic crowns.

Your plan should reflect your preferences, your oral health, and the changes that matter most to you. We’ll talk through your goals, explain the available options, and help you understand what each treatment can accomplish. Often, a few thoughtful improvements can make a meaningful difference.

Dental Bonding

Have a small chip, a minor gap, or an uneven tooth edge that you’d love to improve? Dental bonding may be a simple way to refresh your smile. Bonding uses tooth-colored composite resin that is carefully shaped and blended with your natural teeth. It can be used to improve the appearance of certain chips, small gaps, discoloration, or irregular tooth shapes. Because bonding often requires less alteration of the natural tooth than some other cosmetic treatments, it’s one of the most conservative options for improving the look of your smile.

Dental Veneers

Dental veneers are thin coverings bonded to the front surfaces of teeth to change their appearance. They can create a more uniform appearance while still being designed to complement your natural features, and can be used to address concerns such as discoloration, uneven shapes, small gaps, or worn edges. We offer porcelain and composite veneers at State Street Dental, and we’ll help you select the right veneer treatment for your smile.

Professional Teeth Whitening

Sometimes, a little brightness is all your smile needs. Professional teeth whitening can help lighten certain types of tooth discoloration and give your smile a fresher appearance. State Street Dental offers take-home whitening with Opalescence^®, allowing you to whiten your teeth at home according to your dentist’s instructions. It’s a convenient option for patients who prefer to fit whitening into their own routine.

Esthetic Crowns

When a tooth is damaged or weakened, restoring its appearance and strength can go hand in hand. Esthetic crowns are custom restorations designed to cover a tooth while complementing the look of your smile. A crown may be recommended for a tooth with extensive decay, a fracture, significant wear, or a previous restoration that needs additional support.

Frequently Asked Questions

What cosmetic dentistry treatments do you offer?

At State Street Dental, we offer several cosmetic dentistry options to help you feel more confident about your smile. Treatments include professional teeth whitening, dental bonding, porcelain and composite veneers, esthetic crowns, and personalized smile makeovers. We'll help you explore your options based on your goals, preferences, and overall oral health.

How do I know which cosmetic dental treatment I need?

The best treatment depends on what you'd like to change about your smile. For example, professional teeth whitening may help with discoloration, while dental bonding can address small chips or gaps. Veneers may be an option if you're looking for more noticeable changes to the shape or appearance of your teeth. During your cosmetic dentistry consultation in Boise, we'll discuss your goals and help you find an approach that makes sense for you.

Is professional teeth whitening safe?

Professional teeth whitening is generally safe when performed according to your dentist's instructions. Some patients experience temporary tooth sensitivity or gum irritation, but these effects typically subside. At State Street Dental, we offer Opalescence® take-home whitening so you can brighten your smile at home with guidance from our dental team.

How long does professional teeth whitening last?

The results of professional teeth whitening can last several months or longer, depending on your diet, oral hygiene habits, and lifestyle. Coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco can contribute to new staining over time. Maintaining good oral hygiene and following your dentist's whitening recommendations can help you enjoy a brighter smile longer.

What's the difference between dental bonding and veneers?

Both dental bonding and veneers can improve the appearance of your teeth, but they work differently. Dental bonding uses tooth-colored composite resin that is applied and shaped directly on the tooth to correct minor imperfections. Veneers are thin coverings bonded to the front surfaces of teeth to create more noticeable changes to their shape, color, or overall appearance. Bonding is generally more conservative, while veneers may offer a longer-lasting cosmetic solution depending on the material and care.

Are dental veneers permanent?

Dental veneers are considered a long-term cosmetic treatment, but they don't last forever. Porcelain and composite veneers can wear down or become damaged over time and may eventually need replacement. Some veneer treatments also require removing a small amount of natural enamel, which means the process may not be reversible. Your dentist can explain what to expect before you decide whether veneers are right for you.

Will my cosmetic dental work look natural?

Cosmetic dental treatments are planned with your natural features in mind, including the shape, size, and color of your teeth. At State Street Dental, we take your preferences into account to help create results that complement your smile rather than look out of place.

How long do cosmetic dentistry treatments take?

Treatment time depends on the type of cosmetic dentistry you're considering. Professional take-home teeth whitening can be completed over a period of days or weeks, while dental bonding may be completed in a single appointment. Veneers and smile makeovers typically require multiple visits for planning, preparation, and placement. We'll walk you through the expected timeline before treatment begins.

How much does cosmetic dentistry cost in Boise, ID?

The cost of cosmetic dentistry in Boise depends on the treatments involved, the number of teeth being addressed, and the complexity of your personalized plan. Teeth whitening, dental bonding, veneers, and esthetic crowns each have different costs. During your consultation, we'll discuss your options, explain the associated fees, and help you determine a treatment approach that works with your goals and budget.
