What

What is a smile makeover?

A smile makeover is a personalized plan that combines two or more cosmetic treatments to address everything you’d like to change at once – for example, whitening paired with veneers, or Invisalign followed by bonding. Rather than treating issues piecemeal, Dr. Dennis designs the result first, then maps out the treatments to get there. Because he handles cosmetic, orthodontic, and restorative care in one office, your entire makeover stays under one roof, coordinated by one dentist.

Why choose Dr. Dennis for cosmetic dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry is as much art as science – the difference between a smile that looks natural and one that looks “done” comes down to the dentist’s eye and training. Dr. Dennis is a member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, earned his DMD from the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine, and has refined smiles for Northeastern PA families since 2004. Because your cosmetic results rest on a healthy foundation, he also ensures your bite and gum health support the outcome – something a purely cosmetic provider may overlook.

Frequently asked

Questions we hear often.

What is cosmetic dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry is any treatment that improves how your teeth, gums, and smile look – including whitening, veneers, Invisalign, bonding, and smile makeovers. Many of these treatments also improve bite function and oral health.

Is cosmetic dentistry worth it?

For most patients, yes. Beyond a more confident smile, treatments like veneers and alignment can protect worn teeth, improve your bite, and make cleaning easier. At your consultation we’ll give you an honest opinion on what will genuinely help and what isn’t necessary.

What is a smile makeover?

It’s a personalized plan that combines two or more cosmetic treatments – such as whitening plus veneers – to redesign your whole smile in a coordinated way, rather than one issue at a time.

How much does cosmetic dentistry cost?

It depends entirely on the treatment – a single whitening session is a modest investment, while a full veneer makeover is a larger one. After your consultation we provide a clear, written quote so you know exactly what’s involved. Request a quote to get your personalized estimate.

How do I know which treatment I need?

Book a consultation. Dr. Dennis will assess your teeth, listen to your goals, and recommend the simplest plan that achieves the result you want – often a combination is not needed at all.

Does insurance cover cosmetic dentistry?

Purely cosmetic treatments usually aren’t covered, but some procedures (like a crown that’s also restorative) may be partially covered. We file your insurance and offer financing to keep treatment affordable.

Does cosmetic dentistry hurt?

Most cosmetic treatments – whitening, bonding, veneers – involve little or no discomfort, and we use local anaesthetic whenever needed. We’ll keep you comfortable at every step.

How long do cosmetic dentistry results last?

It varies by treatment: whitening lasts months to a couple of years with touch-ups, bonding around 5–7 years, and porcelain veneers 10–15+ years with good care. We’ll tell you what to expect for your specific plan.

What makes Dr. Dennis qualified in cosmetic dentistry?

Dr. Dennis is a member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, earned his DMD from the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine, and has focused on natural-looking aesthetic results in Clarks Summit since 2004.
