When we help a patient achieve the smile of their dreams, it makes everyone in our office happy. We love to see a person start to smile after years or even decades of hiding their smile. A person who felt unattractive very often gets a huge boost in self-esteem when damaged, badly spaced or poorly shaped teeth are improved. 

Sometimes a patient is shy about mentioning the fact that they dislike their smile. Dr. Anisimova would be pleased to have a conversation with you about the improvements you would like to see. 

We provide the following cosmetic dentistry services:

Smile Makeovers

For a smile makeover, Dr. Anisimova will utilize all her skills to make the smile enhancements a patient wants. After a consultation on the patient’s desires, Dr. Anisimova will prepare the exact treatment plan to bring the patient's goal into reality.

Tooth-Colored Fillings

Many of our patients have asked us to replace their dark metal fillings with clean, white, tooth-colored fillings. Of course, any new fillings we place are this type of filling, keeping our patients’ smiles bright.

Whitening

A dull smile that a patient wants to hide can be brightened with our in-office whitening services. We can also send a patient home with a whitening system so they can whiten their teeth at their own pace.

Veneers

Veneers are thin porcelain shells manufactured to fit over the front and tip of a tooth to improve its appearance. With veneers, we can change the coloration, shape, length, spacing or alignment of a tooth. We can also repair chips, cracks or fractures. Veneers can be used to fix a single damaged tooth or they can be applied to all the visible teeth.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cosmetic Dentistry

  • Could you please tell me about the various options and procedures available in cosmetic dentistry?

    Of course. Cosmetic dentistry involves a variety of different procedures. For instance, if someone is unhappy with the color of their teeth, we offer whitening services. There are different types of whitening procedures, one of the most popular ones being zoom whitening, which is an in-office procedure that provides instant results. But cosmetic dentistry isn't just about whitening. Sometimes, it involves placing implants to replace missing teeth or affixing veneers to improve appearance.

  • Is it common for patients to focus only on their front teeth when considering cosmetic dental procedures?

    Yes, it's quite common. Many patients are initially concerned about their two front teeth, particularly if they've been damaged in some way. However, it's important to consider the entire smile, not just the two front teeth. This is where the concept of "social six" comes in.


    The "social six" refers to the six front teeth that are most visible when a person smiles. However, many people actually show more than just these six teeth when they smile. If a patient opts for procedures only on these six teeth, the rest of their teeth may appear noticeably different in color or shape, which may give an unnatural look to their smile.


    I always discuss this with my patients. I ask them how many teeth they want to show when they smile and whether they want the rest of their teeth to match the treated ones. This often leads to a broader discussion about their expectations and desires for their smile.

  • What is the purpose of cosmetic dentistry?

    Cosmetic dentistry is about what the patient wants. For example, I had a patient who wanted crooked teeth on his denture because that's what he was used to. Another patient wanted a gold tooth in the front, while another wanted to retain a gap between their teeth. The goal of cosmetic dentistry is to meet the patient's unique needs and desires, not just to create a stereotypical "beautiful white smile".

  • How could a prospective patient reach your office or set an appointment?

    Reaching our office is quite simple. You can call us at 636-434-1244. We have a lot of reviews online and a fantastic team ready to take care of you.
