This was an amazing experience!! I am not fond of going to the dentist at all but Dr. Perry and his staff were so pleasant, helpful, and fast! I’m self conscious about my teeth and they showed absolutely no judgement and made me feel extremely comfortable and welcome! I even had some questions about aftercare a few days later and they had me come in for a follow up appointment at ZERO COST that same day! I’ll definitely be going back in the future and recommending River City to everyone!

This is absolutely the best Dentist office I have been to. From the receptionist to Dr. Perry, and everyone in between they make you feel at home, and comfortable. Dr. Perry has picked some of best dental assistants out there, which creates a sort of family vibe . I laugh so much it's more like a gathering of friends, instead of just an appointment. Everyone one of Dr. Perry's assistants are very knowledgeable, precise and professional in everything they do, just like the Dr. . Thank you Dr. Perry for creating such a great environment, you guys are amazing...

There are several cosmetic dentistry procedures available to enhance your smile. Here are a few of the most popular treatments at our San Antonio, TX, practice:
Dental Bonding
Bonding conceals minor flaws like chipping and discoloration. This treatment involves adding layers of tooth-colored composite resin to alter the size, shape, or color of a tooth.
Porcelain Veneers
Dental veneers camouflage imperfections such as chipping, cracks, discoloration, slight misalignment, and more. Porcelain veneers are attached to the front surfaces of the teeth.
Teeth Whitening
Over time, tea, coffee, red wine, soda, berries, and other dark-colored foods and beverages can stain your smile. Professional whitening can dramatically brighten your smile by several shades.
Gum Contouring
Patients with a "gummy smile" or excess gum tissue can take advantage of laser gum contouring. This procedure reshapes the gum line to bring more balance to your smile.
Orthodontics
Dental misalignment can detract from a beautiful smile and have a negative impact on your bite and oral health. Our San Antonio, TX, practice offers Damon™ Braces and Six Month Smiles.
Smile Makeover
In many cases, patients combine several aesthetic procedures into one comprehensive treatment. This is referred to as a smile makeover, and it is fully personalized to meet your unique goals.
See How Porcelain Veneers Work
Your dentist will begin by removing a small layer of enamel from the tooth. This allows the veneer to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. The thin porcelain shell is then bonded to the front surface of the tooth and can conceal cosmetic imperfections such as cracks, chips, stains, and even minor gaps and misalignments.
Exploring Candidacy
To qualify for cosmetic dentistry, patients must meet a few criteria. For example, individuals must have:
If you are considering cosmetic dentistry procedures, you must be free from tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health problems. These issues can seriously hinder the results of cosmetic treatment and put your oral health at risk. Our San Antonio, TX, dentist can perform restorative procedures prior to any aesthetic dental work.
Before undergoing cosmetic procedures, it is important to talk to your dentist about post-treatment care. While most cosmetic work does not require a lot of maintenance, you must be committed to brushing, flossing, and attending routine dental appointments. Following these guidelines can help keep your smile in excellent condition.
Be well-informed about your treatment plan and know what results to expect. Teeth whitening can correct extrinsic stains, but not deep-seated discoloration. Veneers can offer dramatic results, but these restorations will need to be replaced eventually. Talk to your dentist about the details of your treatment so you know what to expect.

Benefits of Cosmetic Dentistry
Enhanced Appearance
Using cosmetic dentistry treatments, your dentist can correct or conceal a number of imperfections to enhance your smile, making it straighter, brighter, or more symmetrical.Boosted Self-Confidence
When you are unhappy with your smile, you might feel hesitant to share it, and you might even avoid smiling altogether. Cosmetic treatments can give you the smile you've always dreamed of so you can feel confident sharing it with the world.
Improved Oral Health
While cosmetic dentistry treatments focus primarily on appearance, they can also help improve your oral health. Treatments like orthodontics can straighten your smile, making it easier to properly brush and floss. Dental implants and restorations can also fill in the gaps caused by missing teeth while keeping your jawbone healthy.
Are Cosmetic Procedures Expensive?
It’s true, cosmetic dentistry can be expensive. But not always.
It all depends on what and how many procedures you are undergoing. In addition, if your treatment is medically necessary, then insurance may help cover your costs. Our San Antonio practice also offers financing options to make cosmetic dentistry treatments more affordable and accessible to our patients.
While it's easy to calculate the cost of treatment, it's important not to overlook the life-changing benefits of an engaging smile that is symmetrical and more youthful-looking.
Can you really put a price on the ability to smile freely and greet people confidently? It’s invaluable.
And of course, many cosmetic treatments offer functional benefits as well. Dental bridges, crowns, and dental implants can restore your bite and let you enjoy the foods you love without worry.
We Make Cosmetic Dentistry Affordable With Our Dental Membership Plan
It’s been proven again and again that just the act of smiling can improve your mood and the mood of people around you. But it’s hard to smile when the condition of your teeth makes you feel uncomfortable.

I've been a patient there for nearly 20 years. I highly recommend them. Very low turnover in staff. They did have a new doctor take over a few years ago, but Dr Perry is great.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cosmetic Dentistry
I'm missing most of my teeth. Can cosmetic dentistry help?
If you have missing teeth, restorative treatments like dental crowns or even full mouth reconstruction can not only restore the function of your smile but the appearance of your smile as well. Oftentimes, restorative treatments can be combined with cosmetic treatments to completely rehabilitate your smile.
Do cosmetic dentistry treatments hurt?
No. Treatments like teeth whitening and veneers are virtually painless. For treatments like gum contouring, your cosmetic dentist will numb the area before treatment begins to ensure you are completely comfortable. We also offer sedation for especially anxious patients.
How long do cosmetic treatments last?
It depends on which treatments you undergo and how well you maintain your smile. Teeth whitening may require follow-up treatments, but proper oral hygiene can help keep your smile brighter for longer. Dental veneers can last up to 15 years with proper care. In contrast, bonding typically lasts between three and ten years before it needs to be replaced.
Can you repair or replace an old veneer or bonding?
Yes. If you have worn or damaged bonding, veneers, crowns, or another type of restoration, our San Antonio practice can help by repairing or replacing them to help rejuvenate your smile.
