Consultation requiredCosmetic Tooth Contouring
Tooth contouring gently reshapes small areas of enamel to improve minor unevenness, rough edges or slight differences in tooth length. It can create a more balanced smile with minimal alteration to the natural tooth.
Subtle and conservative refinementDental Veneers
Veneers are thin, customized restorations placed over the front surfaces of selected teeth. They may improve discoloration, spacing, shape, size and other visible imperfections while creating a balanced, natural-looking result.

Frequently Asked Questions
What patients often ask about cosmetic dentistry.
Which cosmetic treatment is right for my smile?
The right treatment depends on what you would like to improve, the condition of your teeth and gums, your bite and your desired result. A cosmetic consultation allows Dr. Menendez to evaluate these factors and explain your options.
Will cosmetic dental work look natural?
Cosmetic treatment can be designed to complement your natural tooth color, facial proportions and smile characteristics. The goal is typically to create an attractive, balanced result rather than a smile that looks artificial or overly uniform.
How long do veneers and cosmetic crowns last?
Longevity varies based on the restoration, your bite, oral hygiene, habits and overall dental health. Consistent preventive care and avoiding habits that place excessive pressure on the restorations can help protect the result.
Does teeth whitening work on crowns or veneers?
Whitening treatments generally affect natural tooth structure rather than the color of crowns, veneers or fillings. Existing restorations should therefore be considered when planning whitening or a broader cosmetic treatment plan.
Can multiple cosmetic treatments be completed together?
Yes. Depending on your needs, treatments may be combined or completed in stages. Dr. Menendez can help prioritize the sequence of care so that each procedure supports the overall result.
Is cosmetic dentistry covered by dental insurance?
Procedures completed solely for cosmetic purposes are often not covered. However, treatment that also restores the health or function of a damaged tooth may qualify for partial benefits, depending on your plan. Our team can help you review available financial and insurance information.
