Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry is an umbrella term for treatments focused on the appearance of a smile — including veneers, bonding, reshaping, and whitening — often combined to address several concerns at once. Because many of these treatments overlap with restorative and preventive care, a cosmetic consultation typically starts with an evaluation of your overall dental health.
Why Choose Cosmetic Dentistry
-
Address several concerns at once — color, shape, spacing, or wear — with treatments designed to work together.
-
Start from a full evaluation of your dental health, so cosmetic work is built on a stable foundation.
-
Choose from a range of options, since treatments like bonding and whitening are often minimally invasive.
-
Get a plan built around your goals and timeline, developed with Dr. Cianciulli or Dr. Rossi.
-
Work with dentists who already know your dental history if you're an existing patient, rather than starting over elsewhere.

Based on that evaluation, Dr. Cianciulli or Dr. Rossi will recommend a combination of treatments — such as veneers, bonding, or whitening — suited to your goals and timeline.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between cosmetic and restorative dentistry?
Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing damage and restoring function, while cosmetic dentistry focuses on the appearance of your smile.
In practice, the two often overlap — a crown or bonded tooth, for example, can repair damage and improve how it looks at the same time.
Do you offer veneers, bonding, and teeth whitening?
Yes, each of these is available at our office, and we have dedicated pages with more detail on how each one works.
Because they can be used on their own or combined, we usually discuss which combination fits your smile during a consultation.
How do I know which cosmetic treatments are right for me?
The best way to find out is to schedule a consultation, where Dr. Cianciulli or Dr. Rossi will evaluate your teeth and gums and talk with you about what you'd like to improve.
From there, we can recommend which treatments make sense for your smile and situation.
Is cosmetic dentistry covered by insurance?
Most purely cosmetic treatments are considered elective and aren't covered by dental insurance, though procedures with a functional component may be covered in part.
We're happy to go over cost and payment options with you during your visit.
