What Is Cosmetic Dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of your teeth, gums, and smile. While traditional dentistry deals primarily with oral hygiene and preventing, diagnosing, and treating oral disease, cosmetic dentistry is elective. It’s aimed at creating positive changes to your teeth and smile.
The field of cosmetic dentistry has made significant advancements in recent years. Today’s cosmetic dentistry procedures can help you:
- Whiten and brighten your teeth
- Fix chips or cracks
- Close gaps between teeth
- Reshape teeth
- Replace missing teeth
- Correct misalignments
Cosmetic dentistry treatments offer various options for shaping, sizing, coloring, positioning, and aligning your teeth to enhance their appearance. At Downtown Dental and Implants of Oswego, Dr. Mohan offers a comprehensive range of cosmetic dental services to address these concerns and more.
Our Cosmetic Dentistry Services
Teeth Whitening
One of the quickest and most affordable ways to enhance your smile is through professional teeth whitening. Over time, teeth can become stained or discolored due to various factors such as food, drinks, smoking, or certain medications. Our in-office whitening treatments can dramatically brighten your teeth in just one visit, while our take-home kits offer a convenient option for gradual whitening at your own pace.
Dental Veneers
Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front surface of teeth. They’re an excellent option for correcting stained, chipped, decayed, or crooked teeth. Dr. Mohan will work with you to choose the right shape, size, and color of veneers to create a natural-looking, beautiful smile.
Dental Bonding
Dental bonding is a procedure where a tooth-colored resin material is applied and hardened with a special light, which ultimately “bonds” the material to the tooth. It’s an ideal solution for repairing chipped or cracked teeth, closing small gaps, or changing the shape of teeth. Bonding is often completed in a single office visit and can dramatically improve a tooth’s appearance.
Dental Implants
If you’re missing one or more teeth, dental implants provide a permanent, natural-looking solution. An implant is a titanium post surgically placed in the jawbone, which then supports a custom-made crown. The result is artificial teeth that look, feel, and function just like natural teeth.
Smile Makeovers
For those desiring a complete transformation, we offer comprehensive smile makeovers. This involves combining multiple cosmetic procedures to achieve your ideal smile. Dr. Mohan will work closely with you to develop a personalized treatment plan addressing all your concerns and goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do cosmetic dental procedures typically take?
The duration of cosmetic dental procedures can vary widely depending on the specific treatment. Some procedures, like teeth whitening, can be completed in a single office visit. Others, like Invisalign treatment, may take several months. Your dentist will provide a timeline during your consultation.
Are cosmetic dental procedures painful?
Most cosmetic dental procedures cause little to no discomfort. For more involved treatments, local anesthesia can be used to ensure your comfort. Many patients report any post-procedure discomfort is minimal and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
How long do the results of cosmetic dental procedures last?
The longevity of results varies depending on the procedure and how well you care for your teeth. Some treatments, like dental implants, can last a lifetime with proper care. Others, like teeth whitening, may need to be repeated periodically to maintain results.
Is cosmetic dentistry covered by insurance?
