Unlike traditional dentistry, which addresses oral health issues, cosmetic dentistry refers to the procedures that improve the appearance of your teeth and gums. At Dr. Richard Hardt, DDS, we offer different treatments to give you the smile you’ve always wanted.

Our Cosmetic Dentistry Services

Invisalign

Invisalign® offers discreet teeth straightening through custom-made clear aligners. After we take 3D images of your teeth during an initial consultation, you'll receive a series of aligners to wear. Over time, Invisalign slowly shifts your teeth into place without metal braces.

Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is a procedure where we apply a high-strength bleaching gel to brighten the surface of your teeth and activate it using UV light. You may need more than one session to achieve the results you want.

Veneers

Veneers are porcelain shells that cover chips, stains, and unevenness. Dr. Hardt removes a thin layer of enamel to prepare the tooth and then bonds the custom veneers to the front of your teeth.

Are Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures Painful?

Though you might feel some slight discomfort like tooth sensitivity or gum irritation, our team works hard to keep your experience gentle and stress-free. For more complex procedures, we may use local anesthesia or sedation techniques to ensure you’re comfortable.

Are Results Permanent?

Cosmetic dentistry procedures can offer long-lasting results, but they are not always permanent. The duration of the results depends on the type of procedure and your habits.

Veneers, for example, can last a decade or more, while dental implants can be a permanent solution for tooth replacement. However, other treatments, such as teeth whitening, require periodic touch-ups if you want to keep a certain level of brightness.
