Think about the last time you met someone new. One of the first things you probably noticed was their smile. We notice when someone has a beautiful, attractive smile. And we notice when someone has a less-than-perfect smile or hides their smile, too. Sadly, that means that people sometimes spend years feeling ashamed or hiding their smile in public. Fortunately, cosmetic dentistry can help.
Improving your smile has a profound effect on your self-confidence. In fact, our cosmetic dentistry patients regularly tell us how glad they were that they made the investment to restore their smile, because it’s really an investment in themselves. The self-confidence they achieve makes it all worthwhile.
Everyone! There’s a common misconception that cosmetic dentistry is only for patients who have crooked teeth or who have lost or broken teeth in accidents. That couldn’t be further from the truth! In reality, anyone who wants to enhance their smile can benefit from cosmetic dentistry.
Our smiles naturally change as time goes on. If you look at photos from five or 10 years ago, you’ll probably notice a big difference. That’s because our teeth naturally experience wear and tear and may become misaligned over time. It’s also common for teeth to become stained from food, drinks, tobacco use, medication, health conditions, and aging.

At Cowdin Cosmetic Dentistry, we offer a full range of cosmetic services to meet your needs. The first step in restoring your smile is scheduling a free consultation.

Depending on the current health and appearance of your teeth, your treatment may include professional whitening, porcelain veneers, bonding, porcelain crowns, dental implants, or bridges. During your consult, Dr. Cowdin will explain her treatment decisions and how long it will take to achieve your desired results.
Once you agree to the treatment plan, the work to restore your smile begins! It’s our goal to give you a smile you love. And there’s nothing more rewarding than seeing our patients leave our office with the newfound confidence a beautiful smile creates.

Dental bonding, also known as composite bonding, consists of a highly aesthetic tooth colored bonding material used for minor dental corrections. In practice, dental bonding is commonly used to close small spaces between the front teeth, repair fractured or discolored teeth or to reshape teeth.
A dental crown (commonly called a “cap”) is needed when a tooth is badly decayed or fractured. In fact, crowns are proactively recommended for weakened teeth as a preventive measure. When a crown is placed on a weakened or fractured tooth, it provides the strength needed to be able to chew effectively without causing further damage to the tooth. The crown fits completely around and on top of the tooth, offering a weakened tooth the support it needs.
Veneers are really a wonderful advancement in porcelain dental technologies. The ability to correct cosmetic defects in teeth has never been easier. Patients with imperfect smiles used to go through life embarrassed by their lack of a beautiful smile. However, this has all changed.
When a tooth is lost, the jawbone where the tooth once was quickly begins to collapse. In order to keep growing and multiplying, bone cells require the stimulation of biting forces applied to the tooth roots during daily eating. Without this healthy stimulation or “exercise”, the bone simply disappears. This loss of bone is most noticeable immediately after the tooth is removed, but continues throughout your lifetime.
When it comes to teeth whitening there are many options, but your dentist is your best resource. Dr. Cowdin has multiple options to choose from to make sure you leave the office with a noticeably whiter and bright smile. Two of the most effective methods are the Boost! teeth whitening system and KoR teeth whitening system.
Bridges, sometimes called fixed bridges, literally bridge the gap created by one or more missing teeth. Bridges are a very good solution if you are unable to have an implant. The bridge uses crowns on either side of the gap to anchor the replacement teeth into place. The replacement teeth are called pontics and are made of porcelain.
