How Cosmetic Dentistry Can Change More Than Just Your Smile
Cosmetic dentistry isn’t about perfection—it’s about helping you feel good when you smile, speak, or look in the mirror. Even small changes can make a big difference in how you carry yourself, interact with others, and show up in everyday life. Whether you’re prepping for a big event or simply tired of hiding your teeth, cosmetic treatment can give you a renewed sense of confidence. We’ve seen patients leave our office smiling bigger, laughing more freely, and finally feeling like themselves again. At Bel Air Dental Arts, we design treatments that enhance your smile without making it look artificial. The results are natural, balanced, and personalized to you.
Signs It Might Be Time to Explore Cosmetic Dentistry
No matter your goals, we’re here to listen and help you understand your options. Whether it’s one small fix or a bigger transformation, we’ll move at your pace and make sure you feel supported every step of the way.
You don’t need a full makeover to benefit from cosmetic care. If any of the following sound familiar, it might be time to schedule a consultation:
- You avoid smiling in photos or social situations
- You’re bothered by stains, chips, or uneven teeth
- You’ve always wanted straighter teeth but don’t want metal braces
- Your smile feels “off” and you can’t quite say why
- You’re preparing for a wedding, job interview, or major life event
- You just want to feel more confident in your day-to-day life

A Dentist Who Gets It
Modern Tools, Better Results
Personalized Treatments That Fit Your Smile—and Your Life
Composite Bonding
A simple way to fix chips, small gaps, or uneven edges. We use a tooth-colored material that blends right in with your natural teeth, usually in just one visit. It’s quick, affordable, and can make a big difference in how your smile looks and feels.
Professional Whitening
Stains and discoloration happen, but they don’t have to stay. Our professional whitening options (KöR and Opalescence) are powerful enough to lift deep stains while being gentle on your teeth. We’ll help you choose the option that works best for your smile goals and sensitivity level.
Veneers
For patients looking for a more dramatic change, veneers offer a beautiful, lasting solution. These thin shells of porcelain or composite are custom-designed to improve the color, shape, and overall appearance of your teeth—all while looking completely natural.
Invisalign®
If you’ve always wanted straighter teeth but don’t want traditional braces, Invisalign is a great alternative. These clear, removable aligners are custom-made for your smile and gradually shift your teeth into place, with minimal disruption to your daily life.
Crown Lengthening
Sometimes a smile looks uneven because too much gum shows. Crown lengthening gently reshapes the gumline to reveal more natural tooth surface. It’s also a helpful first step before veneers or other cosmetic treatments to create a more balanced, symmetrical smile.
Dentistry That Feels More Personal
We Listen
Dr. Nevid takes time to listen, explain your options, and build a plan that fits your needs. No pressure, no sales pitch, and no judgment.
Modern, Not Clinical
Our office is equipped with the latest technology, but it’s the warm, welcoming environment that makes patients feel truly comfortable.
Anxiety-Friendly Care
With a background in psychology and a gentle touch, Dr. Nevid helps ease nerves and creates a stress-free experience.
Honest and Clear
We believe in honesty. You’ll always know what we’re doing, why we’re doing it, and what it will cost before we start.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get started?
It starts with a free cosmetic consultation. You’ll meet with Dr. Nevid to talk about your goals, get an exam, and review personalized treatment options. There’s no pressure, just honest guidance to help you move forward when you’re ready.
What’s the difference between bonding and veneers?
Bonding uses tooth-colored resin to fix small chips or gaps. Veneers are thin shells (porcelain or composite) that cover the front of the tooth for a more dramatic and lasting change. We’ll help you decide which is best for your goals.
Can I combine treatments for a full smile makeover?
Absolutely. Many patients choose to combine treatments like Invisalign, whitening, and veneers for a complete transformation. We’ll design a custom plan to match your needs, goals, and timeline.
Will my results look natural?
Yes! Dr. Nevid focuses on creating results that enhance your smile while still looking like you. We use digital imaging and a personalized approach to ensure everything—from color to shape—fits your features naturally.
Is cosmetic dentistry covered by insurance?
Most cosmetic procedures are not covered by dental insurance, but we offer flexible financing plans to make treatment more affordable. We’ll go over costs clearly and help you explore your payment options before starting.
How long do cosmetic results last?
That depends on the type of treatment and how well you care for your smile. Whitening can last months to years with maintenance, while veneers and bonding can last 10+ years. Invisalign results are long-term with proper retainer use.
How do I know if I’m a good candidate for cosmetic dentistry?
If you’re unhappy with how your teeth look—whether due to chips, stains, gaps, or misalignment—you may be a good candidate. The best way to know is to schedule a consultation so we can evaluate your goals and recommend the right options.
Will cosmetic treatments damage my teeth?
No. When performed by an experienced dentist, cosmetic treatments are safe and designed to enhance your natural smile while protecting your oral health. We always take a conservative approach to preserve as much of your natural tooth structure as possible.
What is cosmetic dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of your teeth and smile. It includes treatments like whitening, bonding, veneers, Invisalign, and gum reshaping—all designed to help you feel more confident in how your smile looks.
