Cosmetic Dentistry in Tucson, AZ
Small changes in your teeth can affect how you feel when you smile, speak, or meet someone for the first time. Stains, chips, uneven edges, or gaps are common concerns, and most patients want something that looks natural without overdoing it.
At Wilmot Family Dentistry in Tucson, cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving how your teeth look while keeping them functional and balanced. We look at your smile as a whole, not just one tooth, so the final result fits your face, your bite, and how you use your teeth every day.
We go over costs and financing options before any treatment is planned, so nothing comes as a surprise.

Every cosmetic concern needs a different solution. Some patients want brighter teeth. Others want to fix chips, reshape edges, or close gaps. The right option depends on what you want to change and how your teeth are currently structured.
We assess what is bothering you, what your teeth can support, and what treatment gives you the best result for the investment before recommending anything.

Our Cosmetic Dental Treatments
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is one of the most requested cosmetic treatments. It is used to remove stains from coffee, tea, smoking, and natural discoloration that builds over time.
We use professional whitening methods that produce more consistent results than store-bought products. The aim is a cleaner, brighter shade that still looks natural and not overly white.
Dental Veneers
Veneers are thin shells bonded to the front surface of teeth to correct chips, cracks, deep staining, gaps, and uneven shapes. Porcelain veneers are the more durable option and resist staining well. Composite veneers are placed in one appointment at a lower cost.
We go through both at your consultation with before and after examples so you understand what each delivers before deciding.
Dental Bonding
Bonding uses tooth-colored resin applied directly to the tooth to fix chips, close small gaps, correct discoloration, and reshape uneven teeth. It is completed in a single appointment with no lab time required and no anesthesia needed.
For patients choosing between bonding and veneers, the decision comes down to how much correction is needed, how long the result needs to last, and the budget. We walk through both options honestly.
Orthodontic Cosmetic Alignment (Braces or Clear Aligners)
When teeth are misaligned, spacing and positioning affect both appearance and function. Straightening teeth can improve how your smile looks while also making it easier to maintain oral health.
We evaluate alignment and spacing before recommending braces or clear aligners as part of a cosmetic plan.
Cosmetic Dental Crowns
When a tooth is too damaged or discolored for veneers or bonding to restore it fully, a crown covers the entire tooth and returns it to its original shape and appearance. Zirconia and porcelain crowns are used for visible teeth and matched to the surrounding tooth color so the result looks natural.
Enamel Contouring
Enamel contouring removes small amounts of tooth surface to correct minor chips, uneven edges, or teeth that are slightly too long. It requires no anesthesia, takes minutes, and produces immediate results.
We also combined this with bonding, as these two procedures together usually produce a result that rivals more involved cosmetic work at a fraction of the cost.
Gum Contouring
An uneven gumline or excess gum tissue covering too much of the tooth affects the overall proportions of the smile, even when the teeth themselves look fine. We use a dental laser to reshape the gumline with precision and minimal healing time in a single appointment.
For patients planning veneers or a full smile makeover, gum contouring is addressed first so the final result has the right foundation.
Smile Makeover
A smile makeover combines two or more cosmetic procedures to achieve a result that a single treatment cannot deliver. Common combinations include whitening with bonding or veneers, Invisalign followed by whitening, or gum contouring before veneer placement.
Every makeover is planned individually at your consultation with a clear outline of the sequence, cost, and expected result before anything begins.

What to expect from cosmetic dentistry:
In our society, appearance is important, and cosmetic dentistry can help create the beautiful smile one’s always wanted while improving one’s self-esteem! An appealing smile makes a very strong first impression. Cosmetic dentistry can improve one’s appearance and help prevent certain dental issues. Many patients today are choosing cosmetic surgery to improve their overall appearance. But changing a smile makes the most dramatic change and takes years off of the appearance.
Before agreeing to a particular dental treatment, the initial consultation entails obtaining patient information and dental records.

1. Complete examination
2. X-rays and pictures
3. Treatment plans

Frequently Asked Questions
What is cosmetic dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry covers treatments that improve the appearance of teeth, gums, and the overall smile. It includes whitening, veneers, bonding, contouring, Invisalign, and smile makeovers. Some procedures also restore function alongside improving appearance.
What is the difference between cosmetic and general dentistry?
General dentistry focuses on oral health, treating decay, gum disease, and damage. Cosmetic dentistry focuses on appearance. Many treatments overlap, a crown restores a damaged tooth and improves how it looks at the same time.
How do I know which cosmetic treatment is right for me?
It depends on what you want to change and the condition of your teeth. A consultation at Wilmot Family Dentistry covers both, so the recommendation is based on your specific situation, not a one-size approach.
Is cosmetic dentistry covered by insurance?
Most cosmetic procedures are not covered because they are elective. Some treatments, like crowns, qualify for partial coverage when placed for structural reasons. We review your benefits before treatment is planned so you know your out-of-pocket cost upfront.
