Doctor Emilee Pilkington Talks about how Cosmetic Dentistry can change a person's life

I think it's really amazing to see a patient come in who never smiled in photos before, and you can see old photos of them and they never, you know, they're, you know, just, you know, no teeth showing. Then you've had the opportunity to restore their smile and give them that back. I think that can really enhance a patient's confidence and really improve their self-esteem.

I think it can really improve their own life, their family. I think it can even impact, you know, their career. It can be a really life-changing thing for people.

A smile is one of the first things that you notice about a person, and I think, you know, the fact that our patients put their trust in us to help them achieve that goal is pretty amazing.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cosmetic Dentistry

Am I a good candidate for cosmetic dentistry?

Most patients are! If you're in generally good oral health but want to improve the appearance of your teeth, cosmetic treatments may be a great fit. Whether you're dealing with stains, chips, spacing, or worn-down teeth, we'll evaluate your smile and talk through your goals. We also ensure your bite and oral health are stable first, so your cosmetic results will last.

What’s the difference between veneers and bonding?

Both options improve the look of your teeth, but they differ in material, longevity, and purpose. Veneers are thin porcelain shells that cover the front of teeth to correct shape, size, or color. They're durable and stain-resistant, making them ideal for long-term smile transformations. Bonding uses a tooth-colored resin applied directly to the tooth surface, perfect for fixing chips, small gaps, or minor imperfections. Bonding is quicker and more affordable, though not quite as long-lasting as veneers.

Will my cosmetic dental work look natural?
Absolutely. Our goal is to enhance, not alter, your smile. We use advanced imaging and custom shade matching to ensure your veneers, bonding, or other restorations blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. Every detail is carefully considered. Whether you want a subtle refresh or a dramatic change, we make sure your results feel authentic and flattering.

I moved out of state for a couple of years, and now that we're back, I'm so glad they're still here. The only thing that's changed is their location and it's a great upgrade! The exceptional care, professionalism, and kindness I remembered are exactly the same. I especially want to mention how patient and compassionate they were with my 13 years old son, who has special needs. They made him feel comfortable, took their time with him, and treated him with such genuine care. It truly meant a lot to our family. It's wonderful to be back with a dental team I completely trust. Highly recommend!
