What is cosmetic dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the look of your teeth, gums, and smile. Treatments may include whitening, veneers, crowns and bonding.

What is the difference between general dentistry and cosmetic dentistry?

General dentistry protects your oral health by treating issues like cavities or gum disease. Cosmetic dentistry focuses on appearance, often combining functional improvements with aesthetic results.

Is cosmetic dentistry painful?

Most treatments are minimally invasive and performed under local anesthesia for comfort. Your Aspen Dental dentist will explain each step so you know what to expect.

How long do cosmetic dental procedures take?

Some treatments, like teeth whitening, can be done in a single visit. Whereas, dental crowns and bonding may require two or more appointments.

How much does cosmetic dentistry cost?

Cosmetic dentistry costs vary depending on the type of treatment and number of teeth involved. For patients without insurance, flexible financing options and the Aspen Dental Savings Plan can make care more affordable.

How long do cosmetic treatments last?

With proper care, veneers and crowns can last 10 to 15 years or more. Whitening results vary depending on lifestyle habits, but regular touch-ups can help maintain brightness.

My hygienist Heather is awesome!

Rachel Shaniya and dr Murphy was amazing keep me updated with everything that had to get done nd made it very comfortable thank you

First let me say im absolutely terrified of the dentist. Shake and cry scared. Dr. Murphy made me feel at ease and comfortable for the 1st time in my life. I have hidden my smile since i chipped my front tooth in 3rd grade. The last several years decay has gotten so bad ive had zero confidence to date or talk to people or anything. I never could have afforded dentures and just accepted my smile how it was. But divine intervention and 4 infected teeth landed me in Dr. Murphys chair. I got financing that i never thought id get approved for...I could never express enough my gratitude for the life changing decision to help me. Im a naturally happy person always laughing n smiling but always hiding it...I am beyond happy n love to smile for everyone now! I have confidence that ive never had before now. The assistant Kaiya was just the sweetest. Very kind and patient staff. Very helpful! I couldn't recommend a place any more than this!! I could go on n on but bottom line is don't doubt check them out!!
