Conditions Treated with Cosmetic Dentistry
Even if you are diligent with your dental care, there may be some aesthetic elements you want to enhance. Cosmetic dentistry can address a wide range of conditions, including:
Chipped Teeth
Chipped, cracked, or fractured teeth can detract from the overall appearance of your smile. These imperfections can be addressed with bonding, veneers, or other aesthetic treatments.
Dental Discoloration
The teeth can become stained due to environmental and genetic factors, including dark-colored foods and drinks, trauma, and certain medications. A cosmetic dentist can brighten your smile.
Misalignment
Crooked, overlapped, or gapped teeth can have a negative impact on your appearance as well as your oral health. Treatments in orthodontics and cosmetic dentistry can help.
Gummy Smile
Excess tissue can make the teeth look small, short, or boxy. Aesthetic gum contouring removes excess tissues and reshapes the gum line for a more balanced appearance.
Real Patients. Real Results.

Common Cosmetic Dentistry Treatments
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.
What Can Cosmetic Dentistry Accomplish?
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.
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, and some cosmetic procedures are, then insurance may help cover your costs.
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

I Don’t Know Where to Start Call for a Consultation
While many cosmetic problems can be solved with a single procedure, sometimes patients have several problems and don’t know which one to tackle first. And sometimes patients have additional cosmetic issues that they don’t recognize until they are pointed out.
That’s where a consultation with Dr. Perry at River City Dental Solutions in San Antonio can help. He will sit down with you to talk about your goals and evaluate your smile. From there, he can go over which procedures will create the appealing smile you’ve been wishing for.
