A confident smile can make all the difference. At Austin City Dental, Dr. Steve Cook, DDS and Dr. Melissa Hernandez, DDS provide advanced cosmetic dentistry in Austin TX to help you achieve a bright, natural, and healthy smile. Whether you want to whiten your teeth, correct small imperfections, or completely transform your smile, our cosmetic treatments are designed to look beautifully natural. We call this Invisible Dentistry.
Cosmetic dentistry focuses on enhancing the appearance of your teeth and smile while supporting long-term oral health. At Austin City Dental, every cosmetic treatment plan blends aesthetics with proper function.
If you are searching for professional teeth whitening in Austin TX, our KöR Whitening system offers dramatic, long-lasting results. KöR lifts deep stains that over-the-counter products and many older systems cannot fully remove. Patients benefit from powerful in-office treatment and custom trays for ongoing maintenance.
Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gently move teeth into better alignment. This is an excellent option for adults and teens who want straighter teeth without metal brackets or wires. Aligners are comfortable, nearly invisible, and can be removed for eating and cleaning.
Cosmetic bonding is a quick, conservative solution for chips, cracks, discoloration, and small gaps. Tooth-colored composite resin is applied, shaped, and polished to blend with your natural teeth. Many bonding cases are completed in a single visit and are ideal for subtle but impactful improvements.
Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells bonded to the front of your teeth. They can correct stains, worn edges, gaps, uneven tooth shapes, and mild misalignment. Each veneer is designed to complement your facial features and create a balanced, natural-looking smile.
Enamel contouring allows us to gently reshape teeth to improve symmetry and smooth irregularities. It is often combined with bonding to refine edges, adjust length, and create a more harmonious smile without extensive treatment.
Sometimes a tooth needs more than a veneer or bonding. Zirconia and porcelain crowns fully cover and protect damaged or heavily restored teeth while improving their appearance. Our crowns are custom shaded and crafted to blend seamlessly with your smile.
A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring to neighboring teeth or implants. Bridges restore function, prevent teeth from shifting, and maintain a natural, full smile line. They are a strong cosmetic and functional solution for spaces in your smile.
Dental implants are the preferred long-term option for replacing missing teeth. Implants look and feel like natural teeth, support the jawbone, and provide a stable foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures. They play a key role in many comprehensive cosmetic and restorative treatment plans.
For patients missing several or all teeth, custom dentures and partials can restore confidence and function. Modern materials and precise design create a more natural appearance and comfortable fit compared to traditional dentures.
For larger cosmetic cases and smile makeovers, we follow a detailed and predictable process to help ensure excellent results.
We begin with a comprehensive exam, photos, digital scans, and a detailed discussion of your goals. When appropriate, we collaborate with a high-quality lab to create a diagnostic wax-up that previews your future smile.
For veneers and full smile designs, we gently prepare the teeth as needed and place custom temporary restorations that reflect the planned design. You leave with an immediate improvement while your final restorations are being crafted.
After you have lived with the temporaries, we review comfort, shape, and shade. Your feedback is used to fine-tune the final restorations. This step helps ensure your new smile feels right and matches your expectations.
We try in your custom restorations, confirm fit and esthetics, and then permanently bond them. Many cosmetic patients are fitted for a custom night guard to help protect their new smile from grinding or clenching.
