Cosmetic Dentistry in Murphy, TXCosmetic Dentistry provided by Jason Larsen, DDS and Jean Larsen, DDS in Murphy, TX at Parkside Dental Cosmetic dentistry focuses on changes to the appearance of your teeth and smile. At Parkside Dental, Dr. Jason Larsen and Dr. Jean Larsen help patients in Murphy, TX compare cosmetic treatment options based on what they would like to change, the condition of their teeth and gums, and their overall dental needs. Some patients want to brighten stained teeth. Others are concerned about chips, small gaps, uneven tooth edges, tooth shape, or alignment. When several concerns need to be addressed together, a coordinated smile makeover may be appropriate. The right treatment depends on your individual smile rather than a one-size-fits-all cosmetic solution. What Would You Like to Change About Your Smile?Different cosmetic concerns may call for different treatments. During a consultation, our dentists can evaluate your oral health and help you compare the options that are appropriate for your goals.
Cosmetic Dentistry Services at Parkside DentalProfessional Teeth WhiteningProfessional teeth whitening is designed to brighten natural tooth structure affected by certain types of staining or discoloration. At Parkside Dental, whitening options can be discussed based on your current tooth color, existing dental work, sensitivity history, and the result you would like to achieve. Patients with existing sensitivity can also learn more about teeth whitening for sensitive teeth. Dental VeneersDental veneers are thin restorations placed over the front surface of selected teeth. Veneers may be considered when a patient wants to change the visible color, shape, size, or appearance of appropriate teeth. Because veneers require careful planning and may involve altering the tooth surface, our dentists will evaluate whether veneers or a more conservative option is appropriate for your situation. Dental BondingDental bonding uses tooth-colored composite resin to make selected cosmetic changes to a tooth. It can be useful for certain small chips, minor gaps, irregular edges, or shape concerns. Bonding is different from a veneer or crown because the amount of tooth structure involved and the type of restoration are different. Our dentists can explain which option fits the condition of the tooth and the change you want to make. Tooth ReshapingTooth reshaping, also called dental contouring or enameloplasty, involves conservatively changing small areas of tooth enamel to improve minor shape or edge irregularities. It is intended for limited cosmetic changes rather than significant crowding, major tooth damage, or larger alignment concerns. Clear AlignersWhen tooth position is part of the cosmetic concern, clear aligners may provide a discreet way to move appropriate teeth without traditional brackets and wires. Parkside Dental also offers branded clear-aligner treatments including Invisalign and ClearCorrect. The appropriate system and treatment plan depend on your bite, tooth position, oral health, and treatment needs. Cosmetic Smile MakeoversWhen several aspects of a smile need to be addressed together, a cosmetic smile makeover can combine multiple appropriate procedures into a coordinated treatment plan. Rather than treating each cosmetic concern independently, a smile makeover considers how treatments such as whitening, bonding, veneers, alignment, and restorative care may work together and in what order they should be completed. Tooth-Colored CrownsA dental crown is primarily a restorative treatment used when a tooth requires substantial coverage or protection, but tooth-colored materials can also be selected with appearance in mind. Learn more about porcelain crowns or CEREC same-day crowns when a tooth needs restorative coverage in addition to cosmetic consideration. Choosing Between Cosmetic Treatment OptionsSeveral cosmetic treatments can sometimes address a similar concern in different ways. For example, a small chip might be treated with bonding in one case and a veneer in another. Discoloration may respond to whitening, while a tooth with an existing restoration or structural damage may require a different approach. Our dentists consider:
This allows treatment recommendations to be based on your actual dental needs rather than choosing a procedure simply because it is popular. Why Choose Parkside Dental for Cosmetic Dentistry?Cosmetic treatment should consider both appearance and the underlying health and function of the teeth. Dr. Jason Larsen and Dr. Jean Larsen evaluate the condition of your teeth, gums, bite, and existing dental work before recommending cosmetic treatment. The goal is to help you understand the available options, what each treatment can and cannot change, and which approach fits your individual smile. When restorative treatment is also needed, our cosmetic and restorative dentistry services can be coordinated so that appearance is considered alongside oral health and function. See Real Patient ResultsCosmetic dentistry is highly visual. Seeing actual treatment results can help you understand how different procedures affect tooth color, shape, spacing, and overall smile appearance. Before-and-after examples can also help you discuss realistic treatment goals with our dentists and determine which cosmetic options may be appropriate for you.

Cosmetic Dentistry Cost and FinancingThe cost of cosmetic dentistry varies because different treatments involve different materials, procedures, numbers of teeth, and treatment timelines. A whitening treatment, dental bonding procedure, veneer case, or clear-aligner plan will not have the same cost or treatment requirements. An examination and treatment plan are therefore necessary before the cost of your specific cosmetic treatment can be determined.
