What Is Cosmetic Dentistry?
In dentistry, there are many different fields, and each one focuses on a different aspect of the smile.
Cosmetic dentistry is a part of dentistry that is centered on the aesthetics of the smile. Popular cosmetic dentistry procedures include teeth whitening, dental bonding, and veneers.
More Than Just a Beautiful Smile How Cosmetic Dentistry Can Change Your Life
Chips, stains, and other dental imperfections can make you feel self-conscious. By improving the areas of your smile that you dislike, cosmetic dentistry can help you:
Whether you're working from home or back in the office, up-close interactions with your coworkers are a big part of your day-to-day. Cosmetic dentistry can help you feel good about your smile when you're speaking to coworkers, which can help you feel more confident in your professional life.
When people tell you to say, "cheese," do you smile with pride or feel anxious? If you feel nervous about smiling for pictures, you should schedule an appointment with our dentist. Improving the appearance of your smile can make you look forward to photos and preserving important life moments.
Do you spend a lot of time looking at your smile and wishing the shape, size, or color of your teeth were different? Cosmetic dentistry may be right for you. Our dentist can design a treatment plan based entirely on your areas of concern so that you can feel satisfied when you smile in the mirror.
Which Cosmetic Treatment Is Right for You? Common Concerns We Can Address
Both dental bonding and veneers can address chips and cracks, but crowns may be needed for extensive tooth damage.
Teeth whitening can effectively remove surface stains, but bonding or veneers might be needed to address deeper stains.
Veneers can help if you have minor misalignment or gaps, but orthodontic treatment might be better if several teeth or your bite are misaligned.
If you are missing teeth, you'll need restorative treatment in addition to cosmetic treatment. We offer traditional dental restorations and dental implant restorations.
If you have a combination of dental concerns, our dentist can design a custom smile makeover plan that combines multiple dental procedures to help you achieve your desired smile.

Very kind, thoughtful and painless visit. So appreciative of assistance to car by Dr. Tavoian and Hunter. All staff displayed care and compassion while in my weakened state. Again, thanks to all.
View on GoogleAffordable Financing Is Available
Because cosmetic dentistry isn't considered medically necessary, dental insurance plans will not cover treatment. However, we will verify your coverage for any procedures that have both aesthetic and restorative applications before treatment begins.
To help cover out-of-pocket costs and make cosmetic treatments more accessible, our Cedar City dental practice accepts CareCredit®. This allows patients to break the cost of their cosmetic treatment into flexible and affordable monthly payments.
Am I a Good Candidate for Cosmetic Dentistry?
While we want every dental patient to achieve the beautiful smile they have always dreamed of, not everyone is initially a good candidate for cosmetic treatments. You may be eligible if you:
Are in good oral health.
A healthy foundation is essential for cosmetic treatments. Patients must first be in good oral health and free of issues like gum disease and tooth decay before these types of dental procedures. Our Cedar City office offers general and restorative treatment options to help you qualify.
Have cosmetic concerns.
Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the aesthetics of your smile. If you suffer from issues that impact your oral health and function, general or restorative treatments may be recommended instead. However, some treatments, like dental crowns and dental implants, can improve the function and appearance of your smile.

Cosmetic dentistry can correct or conceal everything from minor aesthetic concerns to severe discoloration and uneven spacing. Additionally, Dr. Tavoian offers restorative procedures that can enhance the appearance of your smile by addressing missing or damaged teeth.
Porcelain Veneers
Fabricated from highly aesthetic, medical-grade ceramic, porcelain veneers fit over the front of teeth to conceal chips, cracks, gaps, and discoloration. These thin ceramic shells can offer dramatic transformations and create a straighter, whiter smile in as little as two office visits.
Dental Bonding
During a dental bonding treatment, Dr. Tavoian will apply composite resin to your teeth to enhance your smile in a single office appointment. While dental bonding is primarily a cosmetic treatment, it also has restorative benefits and can repair fractures or other damage. As a cosmetic procedure, bonding can conceal minor discoloration, as well as cracks, gaps, and chips.
Teeth Whitening
We use the advanced Opalescence® teeth whitening system to provide both in-office and at-home bleaching treatments. With Opalescence® Boost, you can achieve a brighter smile in a single office visit. For your convenience, we offer both custom and pre-made at-home bleaching trays. Ask about our Whitening for Life program to find out how you can receive a free take-home whitening kit every six months.
Smile Makeover
For patients who want to address multiple aesthetic issues at once, Dr. Tavoian can design a custom smile makeover treatment plan. By bundling a unique combination of procedures, we can ensure that all of your treatments complement each other for optimal results.
Fix Form and Function With Restorative Dentistry
In addition to cosmetic treatments, our Cedar City, UT, dentist offers a wide range of restorative procedures.
While cosmetic dentistry treatments enhance the look of your smile, restorative dental treatments are designed to enhance the function of your smile as well.
For example, if your smile is affected by missing teeth, Dr. Tavoian can place dental implants. Dental implants are small titanium posts that function just like artificial tooth roots and protect your jawbone from deteriorating after you lose a tooth. Dental implants are then restored with lifelike zirconia and IPS e.max® crowns, bridges, or dentures.
We also offer full mouth reconstruction for patients who wish to correct multiple oral health concerns.
Frequently Asked Questions About Cosmetic Dentistry
Q. How much will my cosmetic dental treatments cost?
A. This depends on a variety of factors, such as the type of treatment and the level of care you need to achieve your cosmetic goals. For example, teeth whitening will not cost as much as porcelain veneers. And someone who needs one veneer will not pay as much as someone needing multiple veneers. Once your dentist crafts your custom treatment plan, we can provide an accurate quote so you can plan and budget.
Q. Does cosmetic treatment hurt?
No. Some treatments involve no discomfort. However, if you have particularly sensitive teeth or need treatment like a dental crown, your dentist will numb the area before treatment begins. Our Cedar City dental practice also offers sedation options to keep you completely relaxed during your treatment.
Q. Is cosmetic dentistry worth it?
A. Yes! A beautiful smile is just as important as a healthy smile. By undergoing these types of procedures, you can feel confident with the appearance of your teeth and gums, and that itself has enormous benefits.
Q. Can I incorporate cosmetic treatments at the same time as restorative and general care?
A. This depends on your unique needs. In most cases, your dentist can create a custom smile makeover that combines different types of treatments. However, in some cases, restorative or general treatments must be completed first to ensure your smile is healthy enough for treatments like veneers or teeth whitening.
