Cosmetic dentistry,
designed around you.

Cosmetic dentistry is more art than science. At Bright Smile Dental, we go beyond function — using the finest dental materials to craft the smile you've been picturing.

Overview

What is cosmetic dentistry?

The focus of cosmetic dentistry is the appearance of your teeth and smile. Cosmetic dentistry is more of an art than science, but it can include restorative dentistry options.

At Bright Smile Dental we offer several treatments that not only fix your structural problems but give you results that match your idea of a perfect smile. Dr. de la Paz pays attention to every detail involved in your smile and has the ability to imagine and achieve your dream smile.

Cosmetic Dentistry Services

01

Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening can whiten teeth up to eight shades lighter. While several appointments may be required for maximum results, even one treatment produces dramatic differences.

02

Dental Bonding

Similar to fillings, dental bonding involves the use of tooth-colored resin to hide teeth imperfections. Bonding is used to fill in gaps, change the color or shape of a tooth or teeth, and close spaces between teeth. It can also protect a tooth root that is exposed due to gum recession.

03

Porcelain Crowns

Do you have a tooth that is severely discolored, misshapen, chipped, or cracked? A composite dental crown looks just like a natural tooth and is a quick fix when one tooth or a few teeth are the problem.

04

Veneers

Have you ever been impressed by a Hollywood smile? Chances are, you are looking at a smile improved by veneers. This treatment offers an immediate, stunning improvement.

05

Dental Bridges

Dental bridges are used to replace a missing tooth or teeth. This treatment option includes the placement of crowns on teeth on each side of the gap to anchor the bridge in place. The bridge contains one to three artificial teeth, called pontics, that fill the void left behind by a missing tooth or teeth.

06

Tooth Colored Fillings

Gone are the days of showing off dark-colored amalgam fillings when you smile and laugh. At Bright Smile Dental, we offer composite resin tooth-colored fillings that match your natural teeth. We can also remove metal fillings and replace them with composite resin fillings.

what our patients usually ask us

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my results look natural?

Yes. Dr. de la Paz pays close attention to every detail — shade, shape, and proportion — so results look like a better version of your natural smile, not an obvious procedure.

How long do cosmetic treatments last?

It depends on the treatment. Bonding typically lasts 5–10 years; veneers and crowns 10–20 years; whitening results up to a year or more with good habits. Dr. de la Paz will walk you through what to expect for your specific treatment.

Does it hurt?

Most cosmetic procedures are minimally invasive and comfortable. For treatments that require any tooth preparation — like veneers or crowns — local anesthesia is used so you won't feel pain during the visit.

Do you offer same-day cosmetic consultations?

Yes. We frequently have same or next-day availability. Call or text us at (253) 475-0262 to schedule a consultation with Dr. de la Paz.

How much does cosmetic dentistry cost?

Cost varies widely depending on the treatment and number of teeth involved. Cosmetic procedures are generally not covered by insurance, but our team is happy to discuss your options and help you find a plan that works for your budget.
