The Art of Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of your teeth, gums, and bite. Various cosmetic procedures and treatments can enhance the aesthetics of your teeth. At Flax Dental, we believe everyone deserves a mouth they can be proud of. Our AACD-accredited cosmetic dentist combines artistry and science to create beautiful, natural-looking teeth.
Cosmetic care at Flax Dental can help correct these imperfections:
- Chips and cracks

- Misalignment
- Gummy smiles
- Receding gums
Why Choose Cosmetic Dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry offers more than just a beautiful smile—it also has health benefits. For example, straightening crooked teeth makes it easier to clean between them, which can help prevent plaque and tartar buildup. This can lower the risk of cavities and gum disease and improve your oral health. Cosmetic treatments can also repair damaged teeth, like chips or cracks, which reduces the chance of infections and further damage.
The results of cosmetic care last a long time. While some procedures may need touch-ups or maintenance, many treatments can give you a beautiful smile for years. This means you can enjoy the benefits for a long time, which makes it a great investment.
Plus, many cosmetic procedures are quick and simple. You can achieve your desired results with little downtime.
Cosmetic dentistry can also help you look younger and feel more vibrant. As we age, our teeth may become discolored, worn, or damaged, which can make us appear older. Improving the look of your teeth and gums can help you look more youthful and refreshed. This boost in appearance can have a big impact on your confidence and how others see you.
Lastly, cosmetic dentistry can help you feel more comfortable and confident in both your personal and professional life. Whether you’re at a job interview, giving a presentation, or attending a special event, a great smile can help you feel more at ease and leave a positive impression. In today’s world, where first impressions are essential, a confident smile can make a big difference in how people view you.
Our Cosmetic Dental Services
At Flax Dental, we provide complete cosmetic dental care to change the shape, color, and size of your teeth. Our treatments include:
Teeth Whitening
Do you have stained or discolored teeth that affect your confidence? Our professional teeth whitening treatments can help you get brighter and more radiant teeth. With safe and effective whitening agents, we can remove stubborn stains and restore the natural whiteness of your teeth.
Say goodbye to yellow teeth and hello to a beautiful smile. Whitening will enhance your smile in one visit. To learn about our teeth whitening services, see Teeth whitening.
Porcelain Veneers and Lumineers
Veneers are thin, custom-made shells bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth to improve their appearance. Dental veneers can provide an instant smile makeover and repair chipped, stained, and misshapen teeth. Lumineers are a type of veneer that is thinner than traditional veneers.
Dr. Flax is highly skilled in placing veneers that look and feel like natural teeth. He can help you get flawless teeth that you’ll love. To learn about this cosmetic treatment, see Porcelain veneers.
Invisalign®
Are you self-conscious about crooked teeth but don’t want to wear traditional braces? Invisalign is a popular orthodontic treatment that uses clear aligners to straighten teeth. These virtually invisible aligners are removable, so you can eat, brush, and floss comfortably.
At Flax Dental, we’re proud to offer Invisalign as a discreet and convenient solution. To learn how our clear aligners can straighten your teeth, see Invisalign.
Smile Makeovers
Our smile makeovers are the perfect option if you want a complete transformation. A smile makeover is a comprehensive treatment plan that combines multiple cosmetic procedures to address your concerns.
Our experienced cosmetic dentist will carefully evaluate your oral health and goals to create a custom treatment plan. From teeth whitening to veneers, we will work together to give you the teeth you’ve always wanted. To learn more about complete makeovers, see Smile makeovers.
Dental Bonding
Tooth bonding is a simple way to improve the look of your teeth. During the procedure, our dentist uses a tooth-colored material and shapes it to make your tooth look brighter and straighter. Teeth bonding can fix chipped or cracked teeth, close gaps between teeth, and even change the shape or color of a tooth.
The procedure is quick and painless. It only requires one visit to our Sandy Springs dental office. Bonding is popular because it’s a cost-effective and minimally invasive way to repair imperfections. To learn about how we can fix simple cosmetic issues, see Dental bonding.
Gum Contouring
Gum contouring corrects an uneven gum line and can help address a “gummy smile.” A gummy smile is where a large portion of the gums show when you smile. During the procedure, we will use a special tool to remove excess gum tissue and reshape your gums. It will make your teeth appear longer and more even.
The Benefits of Gum Contouring
Gum contouring offers many benefits for patients with an uneven gum line:
- Reshapes the gumline
- Reduces excessive gingival display (gummy smile)
- Eliminates uneven contours for a symmetrical look
- Reveals more of the natural tooth structure
- Enhances and balances your smile
- Shortens teeth that appear too long
- Minimally invasive and non-surgical
- Little to no discomfort
- Fast recovery time
- More conservative and affordable than veneers or crowns
This treatment can make a difference because it makes minimal changes to your gum line. Contouring the gums is easier and more subtle than major restorations.
Cosmetic Laser Treatment
We provide non-surgical laser treatments that offer various cosmetic and therapeutic benefits:
- SmoothLase: SmoothLase is a laser treatment that improves the skin’s texture and firmness. It stimulates collagen production to smooth fine lines, reduce wrinkles, and tighten sagging or loose skin. The treatment is non-invasive and provides a natural, refreshed look over time. To learn more, see SmoothLase.
- NightLase: This is a gentle laser treatment for snoring and sleep apnea. It tightens the tissues in the throat, which reduces snoring and opens the airway for better sleep. After just a few sessions, many patients experience improved sleep quality. To learn more, see NightLase.
- LipLase: This non-surgical treatment enhances the appearance of the lips. The laser stimulates collagen production, giving you fuller, more defined lips without the need for fillers or injections. The result is a natural, youthful look. To learn more, see LipLase.
