Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry is dentistry aimed at creating a positive change to your teeth and to your smile.
Most think of tooth whitening or veneers when cosmetic dentistry comes to mind, but a cosmetic dentist can provide much more. At the Wilmington Smile Design Center, we specialize in every aspect of cosmetic dentistry, and have helped countless patients completely transform their smiles. Some of our cosmetic treatment options include whitening, implants, veneers, crowns, gum lifts, straightening, and so much more.

Teeth Whitening
When people think of cosmetic dentistry, more often than not tooth whitening is the first thing that they’ll think of. There are several different options for teeth whitening procedures available over the counter, although the most effective method is to visit a dentist for in-office treatment. With our advanced in-office whitening procedure, patients can see results the very same day as they receive treatment.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are a great way to improve your smile if you have any teeth that are missing or significantly damaged. If cared for properly, dental implants can last for a lifetime and function just like any healthy, natural tooth. In addition to improving your smile, dental implants can also help improve your speech, reduce pain while you’re eating or drinking, and lead to greater dental health overall.
Veneers
Veneers are made from ultra-thin porcelain coverings which are bonded to your existing teeth to close gaps, enhance the overall shape of your smile, or to whiten teeth when standard whitening procedures aren’t an option.
Dental Crowns
Also known as a dental cap, crowns are needed when a tooth has a large cavity or root canal. Once a crown has been bonded to the tooth, it will improve its strength and appearance, making it an invaluable procedure for a patients overall dental health.
Gum Lifts
A gum lift, or gingivectomy, is a cosmetic dental procedure where the gums are reshaped to achieve an ideal look. While a gum lift used to be a fairly painful and complicated treatment, modern dental technology has made it a quick and relatively painless procedure, with recovery time being as short as a few days to a week.
Bonding
Dental bonding is a great way to repair decayed, chipped, cracked, or discolored teeth, and involves applying a tooth-colored composite resin to the tooth. Bonding is a fairly quick procedure, and can be completed in a single visit.
Straightening
Teeth out of alignment? Thanks to modern technology, correcting misaligned teeth is easier than ever before. Invisalign is a popular choice because they tend to be less painful than traditional braces, are nearly invisible on your teeth, and can deliver faster results than other straightening methods.
Full Mouth Rejuvenation
A full mouth rejuvenation goes beyond standard cosmetic dental work – it’s an individualized treatment plan including restorative and cosmetic procedures working together to provide a healthy, happy smile. A full mouth rejuvenation will not only improve your smile, but will also increase your confidence and allow you to live a healthier life overall.
