Veneers
Veneers are thin shells of high-quality dental materials, like porcelain. When bonded to the front-facing surface of your teeth, they can seamlessly conceal stains, chips, gaps, and other flaws. The best part is that the size, shape, and shade of each one can be customized to suit your unique dental needs and aesthetic goals. Plus, the entire treatment process can usually be completed in just two or three visits!
Metal-Free Restorations
For decades, treating a decayed, cracked, or otherwise damaged tooth meant wearing a metal restoration moving forward. That’s no longer the case! With all-porcelain, metal-free crowns, we can restore the health, function, and appearance of your tooth. That way, no unwanted attention is drawn to your smile moving forward. In fact, with enough time, you may not even remember which tooth has the crown!
Composite Bonding
Do you have a small chip on one of your teeth? Maybe you’re struggling to smile confidently because there is a noticeable gap between your two front teeth. In both cases, we may be able to give you the beautiful smile you desire with composite bonding! The best way to find out is by scheduling a consultation with us so we can learn all about your dental history, needs, and goals. From there, we can determine if this is the best cosmetic dental treatment for you.

Teeth Whitening
Your teeth can discolor for several reasons, including frequent coffee consumption and the natural aging process. While you might be tempted to buy over-the-counter brightening products, they overpromise and underdeliver time and time again. That’s why we recommend investing in professional teeth whitening. With our in-office and take-home treatments, we can use high-quality whitening gels and custom applicators to lighten your teeth significantly.

Smile Makeover
While some patients visit us because they know exactly what they want, others aren’t sure where to start. Do they want to address stubborn stains with teeth whitening or veneers? Do they want to fix a considerable chip with composite bonding or a metal-free restoration? If this sounds all too familiar, let us help! We can even combine several treatments to ensure you get the final result you desire.
Understanding the Cost of Cosmetic Dentistry
Whether you want a completely new look or you’re ready to fix a small chip that has been bothering you for years, you don’t have to worry – our team at Frisco Dental Care won’t leave you in the dark about the cost. Quite the opposite: we will provide you with a price estimate at your consultation and discuss the different financial solutions available. Until then, you can read on to learn more, including why cosmetic dentistry is worth the investment.
Which Cosmetic Dental Service is Right for Me?
Dr. Phillips is proud to offer several smile-enhancing treatments at our Frisco dental office, including:
- Composite Bonding – Composite bonding is a great option for patients who want to fix small imperfections, like gaps and chips. It’s also a great option for patients who are on a budget since the upfront price is lower than the others on this list.
- Teeth Whitening – At our office, we offer both in-office and take-home teeth whitening treatments. Although they do require a higher upfront investment than over-the-counter kits, they are well worth it because they can lighten your teeth by up to eight shades.
- Metal-Free Restorations – Since metal-free restorations are durable, effective, and lifelike, they usually fall under both the restorative and cosmetic umbrella. As a result, dental insurance providers usually cover a portion of the cost.
- Veneers – Usually, veneers require the largest investment. However, that doesn’t mean that they aren’t a good option for your wallet. After all, they are known to last for 10+ years. Plus, they can fix several common imperfections in as little as two visits!
Cosmetic Dentistry Can Be an Investment Worth Making
Are you still on the fence about whether to move forward with cosmetic dentistry? If so, you might find it helpful to learn a few of the many benefits that come with fixing dental flaws. In addition to improving your self-esteem, having a gorgeous smile can positively impact your career and love life (after all, it’s one of the first features others notice!).
It’s also important that we mention that cosmetic dental treatments, like veneers, can also improve your oral health by fixing gaps, chips, and cracks. Not only that, but having a smile that they genuinely love often motivates patients to brush, floss, and rinse with mouthwash consistently. So, don’t just assume that the benefits of smile-enhancing treatments like these begin and end with appearance.

Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs
Is Cosmetic Dentistry Expensive?
Dental flaws like chips, cracks, stains, and misalignments can make you feel so self-conscious about your smile that you avoid spending time with others. Fortunately, Dr. Phillips offers multiple procedures that can improve your appearance and boost your confidence.
But you might avoid contacting our office in Frisco if you’re worried you can’t afford to upgrade your grin. Although in the past these services might have been accessible only to the rich and famous, thanks to recent advancements in technology and materials, that’s no longer the case. Options like veneers, teeth whitening, and metal-free restorations are more effective and affordable than in the past, and our office gladly accepts flexible payment plans through CareCredit so you don’t break the bank.
How Do I Know if I Need Cosmetic Dentistry?
Do you feel one hundred percent pleased when you catch a glimpse of your smile in a mirror? If not, then you could potentially benefit from one or more elective aesthetic procedures.
For example, if you’re frustrated by teeth that look more yellow or brown than pearly white, we offer professional teeth whitening for safe, reliable results. Meanwhile, those who want to address other concerns, such as chips and cracks, might be good candidates for porcelain veneers. Dr. Phillips will examine your current condition and discuss your smile goals in order to devise a personalized treatment plan to help you achieve them.
How Long Will My Cosmetic Results Last?
Once you’ve finally obtained the beautiful smile you’ve always dreamed of, it’s only natural to want to do everything you can to maintain the outcome. Some treatments, like dental bonding and veneers, can last 15+ years. Others, like teeth whitening, tend to fade after a 6 months to 3 years.
Generally, you can help preserve your recent upgrades by:
- Brushing and flossing twice daily.
- Visiting Dr. Phillips for routine checkups every six months.
- Steering clear of overly dark, hard, sticky, or sugary foods that might interfere with the results.
- Avoid using your teeth as tools to open packages or to nibble fingernails or pen caps.
Do Cosmetic Dental Procedures Hurt?
Many people experience anxiety when it comes to dental appointments regardless of the reason for their visit. If you want to improve your appearance but are scared your procedure will be painful, you can thankfully set your fears aside.
Most of these services are considered minimally invasive because they don’t require numbing or needles. However, you might develop temporary sensitivity after having your teeth whitened or preparing them for veneers, which involves removing a small amount of enamel. This discomfort is usually mild and resolves after a few days, though it’s often safe to take over-the-counter medications, such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen, to reduce tenderness.
