I have been coming here since the beginning of COVID. I like all the dental hygienists here and love that this office has all the specialties so I don’t have to shop around.

Great cosmetic dentistry is about proportion, not just white teeth.

Because Vartanian Dental Group is a full multi-specialty practice, your cosmetic plan is built on a healthy foundation, with any underlying needs handled by the same team, in the same office, under one coordinated plan.

The Smile Makeover: A Complete Plan
Sometimes one treatment is enough. Other times, the most natural result comes from combining a few. A smile makeover is a coordinated plan that might pair whitening with veneers, or align your teeth with Invisalign before refining the final shape, all sequenced so everything matches and lasts.
Dr. Vartanian designs each makeover around your face, your goals, and your budget. You see the plan and the full cost before anything begins, and because every specialty is in-house, the entire transformation happens with one team you already trust.

Ways We Enhance Your Smile
Every smile is different, so we start with your goals and build a plan around them.
Our cosmetic options include:
Porcelain Veneers
Thin, custom shells that cover the front of your teeth to correct chips, gaps, stubborn stains, and shape in one step. Veneers are the cornerstone of many smile makeovers. Learn more on our veneers page.
Teeth Whitening
The simplest way to refresh your smile. Professional, dentist-supervised whitening lifts stains that store-bought products cannot, safely and evenly. See our teeth whitening page.
Invisalign Clear Aligners
Straighten your teeth discreetly, without metal braces. Straighter teeth are not only easier to clean, they are a key part of a balanced smile. Explore our Invisalign page.
Tooth-Colored Restorations
Cosmetic and functional at once. Natural-looking crowns and tooth-colored fillings repair damage while blending seamlessly with your smile. For missing teeth, dental implants restore both the look and the function.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a cosmetic dentist do?
A cosmetic dentist focuses on the appearance of your smile, its color, shape, alignment, and balance, using treatments like veneers, whitening, bonding, and clear aligners. At Vartanian Dental Group, cosmetic work is planned alongside your overall dental health for a result that looks good and lasts.
Where do I start if I want to improve my smile?
With a smile consultation. We talk through what you would like to change, examine your teeth, and recommend the options that fit your goals and budget, whether that is a single treatment or a complete makeover.
How much does cosmetic dentistry cost?
It depends entirely on which treatments your plan includes. Rather than quote a misleading starting price, we give you a clear cost after your consultation. Cosmetic care is generally not covered by insurance, and payment plans through CareCredit and Citi are available.
How long does a smile makeover take?
It varies with the plan. Whitening can be done quickly, while veneers or alignment take longer. Once we design your plan, you will have a clear timeline. Many makeovers are completed in a few visits.
Will my results look natural?
That is the priority. Dr. Vartanian designs cosmetic results around your facial features and proportions so your smile looks like a natural, refined version of your own, never artificial.
Do I need healthy teeth before cosmetic treatment?
Usually, yes. Cosmetic results last longest on a healthy foundation, so we address any decay or gum concerns first. Because every specialty is in-house, that can happen with the same team as part of one plan.
