Cosmetic Dental Treatments We Offer
At Indira Dental Clinic, we provide a wide array of cosmetic dental treatments to address various aesthetic concerns:
Professional Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is one of our most popular cosmetic procedures, offering a quick and effective way to enhance your smile. We provide both in-office and take-home whitening options to brighten teeth that have become discolored or stained due to aging, certain foods and drinks, smoking, or medications.
In-Office Whitening
Our professional-grade whitening system can lighten your teeth by several shades in just one visit. The procedure takes about 60-90 minutes and provides immediate results.
Take-Home Whitening Kits
We create custom-fitted trays and provide professional-strength whitening gel for you to use at home. This option offers more gradual whitening and the convenience of touching up your smile whenever needed.
Dental Veneers
Dental veneers are thin shells of porcelain or composite resin that are custom-made to cover the front surface of teeth. They're an excellent solution for correcting a variety of aesthetic issues, including:
- Discolored teeth that don't respond to whitening
- Chipped or broken teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Misshapen or uneven teeth
- Slightly misaligned teeth
- Worn-down teeth
Veneers are highly durable and resist staining better than natural teeth. With proper care, they can last 10-15 years or longer. We offer both porcelain veneers and composite veneers, each with its own advantages:
Porcelain Veneers
These offer the most natural appearance with excellent stain resistance and durability. They typically require two visits: one for preparation and impressions, and a second for placement.
Composite Veneers
These can often be completed in a single visit and require less removal of natural tooth structure. While not as long-lasting as porcelain, they're more affordable and can be repaired if damaged.
Dental Bonding
Dental bonding is a versatile, affordable cosmetic procedure that uses tooth-colored composite resin to improve the appearance of teeth. The material is applied directly to the tooth surface, shaped, hardened with a special light, and then polished to match surrounding teeth.
Bonding is ideal for correcting minor aesthetic issues such as:
- Small chips or cracks
- Gaps between teeth
- Discoloration or stains
- Slightly misshapen teeth
- Exposed tooth roots due to gum recession
The procedure is usually completed in a single visit, requires minimal tooth preparation, and preserves more of your natural tooth structure compared to veneers or crowns. While not as durable or stain-resistant as porcelain restorations, bonding can last several years with proper care and is easy to repair if needed.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
Also known as composite fillings, tooth-colored fillings are used to repair cavities while maintaining a natural appearance. Unlike traditional silver (amalgam) fillings, these restorations blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
In addition to treating new cavities, we can also replace old metal fillings with tooth-colored alternatives for a more aesthetic smile. The composite material bonds directly to the tooth structure, which helps strengthen the tooth and requires less removal of healthy tooth material compared to amalgam fillings.
Comprehensive Smile Makeover
A smile makeover is a comprehensive treatment plan that combines multiple cosmetic procedures to transform your entire smile. This personalized approach addresses all aspects of your smile's appearance, creating harmony between your teeth, gums, lips, and facial features.
A smile makeover might include a combination of:
- Professional teeth whitening
- Dental veneers or bonding
- Tooth-colored fillings or crowns
- Dental implants or bridges to replace missing teeth
- Orthodontic treatment to straighten teeth
- Gum contouring to reshape the gumline
The process begins with a thorough consultation to understand your goals and concerns. We then develop a customized treatment plan, often utilizing digital smile design technology to preview your results before treatment begins.
Gum Contouring
Gum contouring (also called gum reshaping or tissue sculpting) is a procedure that improves the appearance of your gumline. It's an effective solution for:
- "Gummy" smiles, where excessive gum tissue makes teeth appear too short
- Uneven gumline
- Asymmetrical gum contours
- Gum recession that exposes tooth roots
Using advanced laser technology or traditional surgical techniques, we can precisely remove excess gum tissue or restore receded gums to create a more balanced, harmonious smile. The procedure is typically performed with local anesthesia for your comfort.
Benefits of Cosmetic Dentistry
Improved Confidence
Enhancing your smile can significantly boost your self-esteem and confidence in social and professional situations.
Youthful Appearance
A bright, well-aligned smile can help you look years younger and create a more vibrant appearance.
Better Oral Health
Many cosmetic procedures also improve oral health by repairing damage, making teeth easier to clean, and encouraging better oral hygiene habits.
Long-Lasting Results
Modern cosmetic dental materials and techniques provide durable, long-lasting improvements to your smile.
Enhanced Facial Harmony
A well-designed smile complements your other facial features, creating a more harmonious overall appearance.
Positive First Impressions
Studies show that an attractive smile makes a positive first impression in both personal and professional contexts.
Digital Smile Design
At Indira Dental Clinic, we utilize Digital Smile Design (DSD) technology to help you visualize your potential results before committing to treatment. This innovative approach combines digital photography, video, and computer imaging to:
- Create a precise digital mockup of your new smile
- Allow you to preview how different treatments would look
- Facilitate better communication between you and our dental team
- Ensure your expectations align with what's realistically achievable
- Guide our treatment planning for optimal results
The DSD process considers not just your teeth, but also your facial proportions, gum tissue, lips, and even your personality to design a smile that looks natural and complements your unique features. This comprehensive approach leads to more predictable, satisfying outcomes.

FAQs about Cosmetic Dentistry
How long do cosmetic dental treatments last?
The longevity varies by procedure. Professional whitening results typically last 6 months to 2 years; dental bonding 3-7 years; porcelain veneers 10-15+ years; and crowns 10-15+ years. Proper oral hygiene, regular dental check-ups, and avoiding habits like smoking or chewing hard objects can extend the life of your cosmetic dental work.
Are cosmetic dental procedures painful?
Most cosmetic procedures involve minimal discomfort. We use local anesthesia for treatments that require it, and offer sedation options for anxious patients. Many procedures, like professional whitening or bonding, cause little to no pain. After any procedure, you might experience temporary sensitivity, which typically resolves quickly.
How do I know which cosmetic treatment is right for me?
The best treatment depends on your specific concerns, goals, budget, and oral health status. During your consultation, we'll discuss your options and help you choose the most appropriate treatment. Digital smile design can help you visualize different options before making a decision.
Is cosmetic dentistry covered by insurance?
Pure cosmetic procedures are typically not covered by dental insurance. However, some treatments that improve both aesthetics and function (like crowns or tooth-colored fillings) may receive partial coverage. We offer financing options to help make cosmetic dentistry more affordable and can help you understand your insurance benefits.
Will my new smile look natural?
Absolutely! Modern cosmetic dentistry focuses on creating natural-looking results that enhance your appearance without looking artificial. We consider factors like your facial features, skin tone, and even your personality to design a smile that looks authentically you—just enhanced. Our digital smile design approach helps ensure results that look naturally beautiful.
