Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the smile’s aesthetics. Patients who receive cosmetic dental care benefit from a more balanced, brighter appearance. However, cosmetic dental treatments can also help patients maintain healthy smiles. Straightening and brightening teeth often motivates patients to keep their results with regular dental care and a good oral hygiene routine.
Cosmetic dental treatments can also help keep the teeth and gums healthy. Dr. Yazan Sadeddin is an experienced cosmetic dentist in The Woodlands offering various treatments to improve patients’ smiles, from bonding and veneers to professional teeth whitening treatment. His cosmetic treatments can help patients feel confident about their smiles.

Tooth damage, discoloration, and wear affect the smile’s appearance. Receiving these cosmetic treatments can create a balanced, seamless smile:
Dental Veneers
Veneers are shell-like treatments that cover the front of the tooth enamel. We use dental veneers made of porcelain for a natural look, covering discoloration, gaps between teeth, and even misshapen or slightly crooked teeth. Veneers may cover single teeth or all of the teeth that show when smiling.
Dental Bonding
Tooth bonding uses malleable resin material to cover flaws in the smile. Dr. Sadeddin can add structure to fractured teeth, change the color of deeply stained teeth, and fix chipped or cracked teeth with dental bonding materials. Bonding also offers a more economical alternative to other cosmetic options and a minimally invasive way to address minor cosmetic problems.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening treatment can brighten teeth by multiple shades. Unlike over-the-counter whitening, professional whitening can deliver quick results. Teeth whitening can also last with the right care; avoiding pigmented foods and beverages can keep your teeth bright.
What Is a Smile Makeover?
Dr. Sadeddin will recommend a smile makeover for patients with cosmetic needs requiring multiple treatments. A smile makeover can use a combination of cosmetic treatments customized to patients’ needs. Patients with crooked teeth, tooth gaps, cracks or chips in the teeth, deep tooth stains, and minor tooth discoloration benefit from a smile makeover. We can also utilize digital technology like intraoral scans and X-rays to help patients visualize their results, particularly with treatments like veneers. Digital images of the smile offer a more accurate picture of dental problems and help us plan cosmetic makeovers.
Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs
Read answers to these commonly asked questions to learn more about cosmetic dentistry:
Can you whiten veneers?
You cannot whiten dental veneers because they are made of porcelain materials. While veneers can cover discolored teeth and create a brighter look, they do not react to whitening treatment. If you have old, discolored veneers, we can plan replacements to brighten your smile.
What do I do if my teeth do not react to whitening treatment?
We recommend veneers or bonding treatment if you have deep tooth stains. A dental bonding treatment can cover single discolored teeth, while veneers can cover one or more teeth in the smile line. These are also viable whitening options if your teeth are overly sensitive to the active ingredients in whitening treatment.
How long will dental bonding treatment last?
Tooth bonding can last about five to ten years. After that point, we can provide touch-ups, particularly if your bonded teeth have discolored or you have damaged your bonded teeth. Gently brushing and flossing your teeth, avoiding particularly hard foods, and ceasing bad habits like nail biting can minimize damage to bonded teeth.
