Our Cosmetic dentistry Services
Porcelain veneers are designed to enhance the shape, color, and proportion of your teeth, creating a natural, balanced smile. Each veneer is carefully crafted in collaboration with a skilled dental ceramist to complement your facial features and existing tooth structure, so the result is a smile that looks refined and never overdone.
In some cases, more conservative options such as no-prep veneers may be appropriate, achieving beautiful results with little to no alteration of your natural teeth. This approach allows for a complete transformation while preserving the strength and long-term stability of your smile.
Composite veneers are a hand-crafted approach to enhancing your smile, allowing for precise control of shape, contour, and detail.
This level of detail requires precision and advanced training in composite artistry. Using layering techniques, subtle tints, and varying levels of translucency, we are able create results that blend seamlessly with your existing teeth.
Brighten your smile with professional whitening that gently removes stains and brings back a healthy, natural-looking glow. Patients who want results right away can choose our in-office Zoom! treatment, while those who prefer to whiten on their own schedule can opt for Opalescence Go take-home kits. We also create custom-fitted whitening trays for a more personalized at-home routine. After a quick look at the level and type of staining, Dr. Foon recommends the option best suited to your goals, so you get a result that feels comfortable and looks great.
Esthetic crown lengthening reshapes the balance of your smile by adjusting the contour of your gumline and the bone beneath it. It is commonly recommended when the gums appear uneven, or when more of the natural tooth needs to be exposed. Where suitable, Dr. Foon favors conservative approaches like intrasulcular crown lengthening, which deliver precise results while limiting impact on the surrounding tissue. A dental laser is frequently incorporated as well, helping to promote quicker healing and greater comfort after the procedure.

Porcelain veneers are custom-made ceramic shells valued for their strength, stain resistance, and lifelike translucency, making them ideal for long-lasting smile makeovers. Composite veneers are hand-sculpted directly onto the tooth, often in a single visit, offering a more conservative and budget-friendly option. Dr. Foon helps you choose the right material based on your goals, timeline, and budget.
The cost of veneers depends on the material chosen, the number of teeth treated, and the complexity of your case. Because veneers and most cosmetic procedures are elective, they are usually not covered by dental insurance. During a consultation, Dr. Foon reviews your smile goals and provides a personalized treatment plan with clear, upfront pricing.
Yes. A gummy or uneven smile can often be improved with esthetic crown lengthening, which gently reshapes the gumline to reveal more of your natural teeth and restore balanced proportions. Dr. Foon uses conservative, often laser-assisted techniques for precise results and comfortable healing. A brief exam determines the most suitable approach for your smile.
For some patients, this may include a custom nightguard. In other cases, a different approach, such as a Kois deprogrammer, may be recommended to help improve how the teeth come together and function.
