Cosmetic Dentistry in Sandy Springs, GA
Aligners, veneers, bonding, and whitening — planned around your face, not a catalogue of standard shades.
If there are flaws in your smile, our team can help you change them. Cosmetic dentistry focuses on the aesthetic beauty of your smile. Dr. Sunny Choy works with each patient individually to build a plan around what they actually want to change.
What cosmetic dentistry includes
Whether the concern is crooked teeth or discoloration, these treatments can change the way your smile looks — and, in most cases, address a functional concern at the same time.
Who is a candidate
Cosmetic dentistry may be the right answer if your smile is affected by:
- Cracked, chipped, fractured, or broken teeth
- Gaps and spaces between teeth
- Discolored, yellowed, or stained teeth
- Slightly misaligned or uneven teeth
- One or more missing teeth
- Teeth that appear too long, too short, or too pointed
- Very worn or misshapen teeth
Candidates should be in generally good oral health and hold realistic expectations about results. Dr. Choy will tell you plainly what a given treatment can and cannot do.
A plan, not a menu
Dr. Choy will help you choose one or more treatments based on your needs. The point of the individualized plan is that the finished result reads as your smile — not as dental work.
Common questions
Where should I start if I do not like my smile?
With a consultation, not a treatment. Most people arrive naming a treatment they have read about, and quite often it is not the one that fixes what they actually dislike. Colour, shape, alignment, and the amount of gum that shows are four different problems with four different answers, and they are frequently confused for one another.
Does insurance cover cosmetic work?
Usually not, because purely cosmetic treatment is not medically necessary. Where a treatment is also restorative, such as a crown on a damaged tooth, it may be partly covered. We will run a benefits check and give you the cost in writing before anything is scheduled.
Will it look obviously done?
Only if it is planned to. The proportions, the shade, and the way the edges catch light are all decisions made before anything is bonded, and they are made against your own face rather than a shade chart. If you want a result nobody can identify as dental work, say so at the start, because it changes the plan.
How long does a smile makeover take?
Whitening is days. Bonding can be a single visit. Veneers are typically two to three appointments over a few weeks. Aligners are months. If the plan combines several of those, the sequence matters, and you will be given the order and the timeline before you commit to any of it.
