Benefits of Cosmetic Dentistry
Improved Self-Confidence
Having straight teeth and a bright smile are attractive features that most people notice right away.
Undergoing dental treatments that give you a healthier-looking smile can help you make better first impressions. Knowing a stunning smile is on your side can help boost your self-confidence.
Better Oral Health
Some dental treatments like Invisalign® straighten your teeth, making them easier to clean and less prone to bacterial buildup.
Teeth whitening treatments often inspire patients to retain their results, motivating them to maintain an effective oral hygiene routine and schedule routine cleanings at our Arlington, VA, dental office.

Some cosmetic procedures like Invisalign and dental implants can improve your oral health. However, cosmetic dentistry focuses on the appearance of your smile and not on restoring your oral health. A veneer, for example, can improve the look of a crooked tooth but it won't protect it the way dental crowns can.
During your consultation, our cosmetic dentist will check the status of your oral health. If more advanced dentistry is needed, our dentist will review your options and recommend a corrective dentistry treatment. Cosmetic procedures can often be paired with restorative dentistry options, increasing your oral health and the look of your smile.

"Excited for my next visit!"
The doctors and techs were very professional, friendly, and welcoming. They always stopped to make sure I understood the forms and documents, and I never felt rushed. It was also a plus that it was close to my work and residence, so I could go in for quick appointments during my lunch break. I definitely recommend this office!
View On GoogleI’ve been coming here for only a short time and so far this is the best experience I’ve had at a dentist office. Dr. Han performed 4 very complex extractions and the process was very painless. He educated me on how to promote proper healing and gave me a few things I needed before I left. This office is great! I’m excited for my next visit!

Dental Bonding
Dental bonding uses a tooth-colored resin material to improve the appearance of your tooth. This discreet treatment can hide chips, cracks, and stains, as well as close gaps and change the shape of a tooth.
Invisalign
This dental treatment straightens teeth with clear plastic aligners, making it a discreet dental option when compared to traditional metal braces. With aligners and proper aftercare, patients can enjoy a lifetime of straighter teeth.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening is more effective than over-the-counter whitening products. This dental option address yellow and stained teeth, making them brighter and healthier in appearance.
Veneers
Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin shells that are affixed to the front surface of teeth. A veneer makes the tooth appear pristine, hiding visible flaws.
Gum Contouring
A gummy smile can make your smile uneven looking. Laser gum contouring corrects your gum line and reveals more of your teeth for a bigger, brighter smile.
How to Care for Your New Smile
You can extend the benefits of your cosmetic dental treatment with good oral hygiene. Our dentists will give you comprehensive instructions on how to care for your new smile. In general, you should:
- Maintain your regular dental cleanings at our Arlington, VA, office
- Refrain from smoking and using tobacco products
- Use a soft-bristled toothbrush at least twice a day and floss daily
- Minimize your intake of coffee, red wine, tea, and other teeth-staining foods and liquids
Do You Have Missing Teeth? Consider Dental Implants
Missing teeth not only leave unattractive gaps in your smile, but can also cause your surrounding teeth to shift.
Dental implants support restorations to replace your missing teeth, while at the same time preventing teeth from shifting and helping preserve the strength of your jawbone. Dental implants can serve as the foundation for crowns, bridges, and dentures, providing prosthetics to patients no matter how many teeth they are missing. Many patients prefer implants over traditional options because in addition to their health benefits, implant-supported prosthetics have better stability and don't slip out of place. Though the healing process takes time, with proper care dental implants can last for a lifetime.
During your cosmetic dentistry consultation, our dentists can further discuss the benefits of dental implants. If you're a candidate for implants, we can incorporate the treatment into your overall smile goals.
