What is Dental Bonding?
Bonding is a dental treatment procedure where tooth-colored dental composite resins are applied to the damaged tooth. It is sculpted, trimmed, shaped, and hardened with ultraviolet light, then polished to match your natural teeth.
What are Smile Makeovers?
Smile makeovers are commonly considered purely cosmetic, but they’re so much more! A smile makeover improves the appearance and health of the teeth and gum line through several cosmetic dental procedures. The goal is to reach the best possible smile for your unique self.
Some techniques are teeth whitening, braces or Invisalign, Crowns, dental implants, veneers, and many more. Read more about smile makeovers here.
What is Teeth Whitening?
Teeth whitening focuses on improving the whiteness of your teeth. It is the most uncomplicated cosmetic dentistry procedure with the quickest results. We take your discolored teeth to another brightness level at Matias Dental Group.
What are Veneers?
Dental veneers are fragile resin or porcelain shells covering the tooth’s surface. Veneers can improve the aesthetics of your teeth by changing their shape, covering stains, and closing unwanted spaces. Follow this link to learn more.
What are Lumineers?
Lumineers are a brand of veneer that are ultra-thin and durable, and faster to apply than regular veneers. Traditional veneers are usually about 0.5mm thick — Lumineers are 0.2mm thick. For reference, that’s about the thickness of a dollar bill!
What is Internal Bleaching?
Internal bleaching is the process of whitening a tooth from the inside out. Unlike traditional tooth whitening, internal bleaching is completed from the inside out. Learn more here.

Is Cosmetic Dentistry Different from General Dentistry?
General and cosmetic dentists can perform basic dental procedures like filling cavities by adding bridges, crowns, and veneers. A general dentist practice cares for the basic dental needs of your teeth. In contrast, a cosmetic dentist concentrates more on the aesthetics of the patient’s smile.
How long does a smile makeover take to complete?
The length of time it takes to complete can vary depending on the specific procedures and goals of the patient. Some simple techniques, such as teeth whitening, can be completed in a single office visit. More complex procedures, such as veneers can take several weeks or month
It’s important to note that the time required for a smile makeover will depend on the individual case, the patient’s goals, and the complexity of the treatment plan. Dr. Matias can give you a more accurate estimate for your specific case.
