Veneers are an effective dental treatment for whitening teeth and hiding imperfections, and they're just one of the many ways we can refine your smile. Whether you're looking to hide a minor flaw or make major changes, our offices in Hamden, East Haven, and Branford have the solution for you.
Affording Elite Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry is typically not covered by dental insurance. However, procedures like bonding, crowns, or orthodontics that have a preventative or restorative benefit may receive some coverage. We accept most insurance plans and can submit claims on your behalf.
If your dental work is strictly for cosmetic purposes, we still don't want financial barriers to keep you from requesting procedures that would improve your confidence and appearance. Our Hamden-area offices accept flexible financing through CareCredit®. This third-party financing option allows patients to break down cosmetic dentistry payments into low- or even no-interest monthly installments.

Featured Cosmetic Dentistry Treatments Our Hamden Dentists Offer
No matter how rigorous your dental hygiene is, it's natural to see discolored teeth over time. Consuming teeth-staining foods like tomato sauce, coffee, and tea can change the color of your teeth. Teeth whitening at our Hamden, CT, dentist's office can dramatically brighten your smile by several shades in just one short visit. We offer laser whitening in our office and tray whitening for at-home use.
A veneer is a porcelain shell that attaches to the front surface of a tooth to hide aesthetic flaws. Porcelain is a versatile material that can be matched to the same shape, size, and color as your teeth. This option can give you an even, brighter smile after just two visits. We can place one veneer to conceal a single problem tooth or a full set to completely upgrade your smile.
During a dental bonding treatment, our dentists use a composite resin that matches the color of your teeth to cover imperfections. Cracks, chips, discoloration, and slight misalignment can all be concealed with dental bonding. Dental bonding is often considered to be a more affordable alternative to veneers, though results won't last as long.
If you have crooked teeth or a misaligned bite, SureSmile® clear aligners can move your teeth into their ideal positions in about 12–18 months. Clear aligner systems are a popular alternative to metal braces because they're discreet and removable. Eat what you love and complete orthodontic treatment without drawing attention to it.
If you have a damaged tooth, a dental crown can make it look like new and protect it from further damage. Crowns can also be used to improve the appearance of misshapen or deeply discolored teeth. Our CEREC machine allows us to make custom crowns in a single visit, eliminating the need for temporary ones.
When you lose a tooth, the gap in your smile can cause your other teeth to shift and your jawbone to atrophy. Dental implant-supported restorations can fill the gaps in your smile. The implants serve as artificial tooth roots, providing an anchor for crowns, bridges, and dentures to keep your jawbone strong and healthy.
Combining Procedures in a Smile Makeover for Especially Stunning Effects
If you have several concerns that no single cosmetic dental procedure could correct, you can combine procedures into one streamlined smile makeover plan. These customized plans use a combination of cosmetic services to address your unique concerns. Certain procedures can be performed in the same appointment, ultimately saving you some time.
Our team takes pride in delivering smiles that our Hamden-area patients can proudly show off. By completing decades of personalized cosmetic dentistry cases, we have developed the expertise necessary to know how to pair various procedures together for the best possible results.
How Long Cosmetic Treatments Take
Dental Implants Totally Transformed Our Patient's Smile
This Hamden patient came to our office missing their entire upper arch of teeth. The teeth in their lower arch had also suffered significant degradation, damage, and discoloration. Our expert dentists provided surgically embedded dental implants to support a denture and give the patient an incredible smile that once seemed impossible to attain.
Taking Care of Your Smile After Cosmetic Dentistry Treatment
To get the most out of your treatment and protect your investment, you should visit our cosmetic dentists every six months. A regular checkup at one of our offices in Hamden, East Haven, or Branford allows us to perform a thorough dental cleaning and examine the state of your teeth.
It's also crucial that you practice good oral hygiene by brushing twice a day and flossing daily. You should also minimize your intake of teeth-staining foods and liquids, or try to drink dark liquids through a straw. Quit using tobacco, as these products can yellow your teeth and cause serious oral health problems. If you have questions about the best practices for maintaining a beautiful smile, be sure to ask our dentists.
