Your smile plays a big role in your confidence and self-esteem. If discoloration, misalignment, or missing teeth make you feel self-conscious, you don’t have to live with them forever. Thanks to advancements in cosmetic and restorative dentistry, achieving your dream smile is easier than ever.
Cosmetic dentistry goes beyond improving the look of your smile—it also plays a vital role in oral health and function. Issues like misalignment, missing teeth, and damage can lead to difficulty chewing, speech impairments, and even changes in jaw structure over time.
Â
A well-balanced, healthy smile doesn’t just look great—it functions properly, too, helping ensure lifelong comfort and strength.
The cost of cosmetic dental treatments varies based on the type, complexity, and number of office visits required. While some treatments may be partially covered by insurance, many elective procedures are not.

Teeth whitening is the fastest and easiest way to add some glam to your grin. Teeth whitening can be performed at the dentist’s office—referred to as chairside whitening or chairside bleaching—or at home with take-home whitening kits. During chairside whitening, a prescription-grade bleaching gel is applied to the teeth via a mouthpiece or a strip that removes stains from the enamel. This bleaching process uses techniques and products that are not available over-the-counter and can brighten your teeth from five to seven shades.
At-home whitening kits provide a gradual and more convenient option. Dental Depot’s custom take-home whitening kits include ingredients clinically proven to be safe and effective that can be applied daily for a specific length of time. All of our DFW locations also offer well-known name brand treatments such as Opalescence Go, Kor, and Kor Max. Speak with one of our friendly dentists or dental hygienists about which option is best for you.
Crowns are an ideal solution for individual teeth that are chipped, discolored, or misshapen. Dental crowns are made of composite material that matches your natural tooth color and bonded over the tooth to match the rest of your smile. In addition to improving the aesthetics of your teeth, crowns also help to protect the tooth structure from further damage. For multiple teeth, a bridge may be necessary. A bridge consists of crowns on each end of a set of false teeth to restore larger gaps.
For unevenly spaced teeth or teeth with stains that cannot be bleached, veneers can help create a more even smile. Veneers are thin coverings that look, feel, and function like natural teeth and are placed over the visible part of the teeth. They are typically made of either porcelain or composite resin. Porcelain veneers tend to be stronger and longer-lasting, but composite resin veneers are typically less expensive and require less enamel to be removed for application.
Dental bonding can repair chipped, cracked, or misshapen teeth and is a more affordable alternative to silver fillings or dental veneers. A tooth-colored resin is bonded to the tooth or teeth with an ultraviolet or laser light, then trimmed, shaped, and polished to match the rest of your teeth.
Dental implants are prosthetic devices that are inserted into the bone socket. The titanium roots of the implant are secured in the jaw as the bone heals around it and serve as a foundation for replacement teeth
Inlays and onlays are similar to crowns and bonding, using tooth-colored material to reinforce and repair teeth. They are custom-fitted to your teeth and can be a cost-effective alternative to porcelain veneers, bridges, or dental implants.
