The Cosmetic Dentistry Consultation
How do I want to improve my smile, and what will the treatments be like? These questions and more can be answered with a cosmetic dentistry consultation with Dr. Ted Dunson. His skills and patient-centered attitude result in the looks patients want. They are true works of science and art combined. Older teens and adults in good oral and systemic health make good cosmetic smile makeover candidates.
It all starts with a cosmetic dentistry consultation at Southridge Dental. Dr. Dunson examines the cosmetic dentistry patient to ensure he or she has healthy teeth and gums. Visual inspection, digital X-rays and photos give the doctor a good picture of tooth alignment, bone structure and facial features, too.
The dentist makes a treatment plan and includes the patient’s ideas for how he or she would like his smile to change and of course, for his or her budget. And, Dr. Dunson discusses his recommendations. He really values patient input. Plans may include just one or many treatments options.

Professional Teeth Whitening Teeth whitening is one of today’s most popular cosmetic dentistry treatments because when performed by a cosmetic dentist, the procedure is safe for enamel and gums. Depending on patient need and preference, Dr. Dunson uses:
- Zoom2 whitening, an in-office treatment which features hydrogen peroxide gel and a special activating light for teeth that are whiter by several shades in just one hour.
- Opalescence teeth whitening, also an in-office product, that uses potassium nitrate and fluoride to whiten deeply stained teeth in just one hour. The fluoride helps strengthen and protect enamel.
- Boost whitening works to brighten and protects against dental sensitivity and cavities.
Porcelain Veneers These whisper-thin, translucent shells of ceramic cover teeth with deep discoloration, chips, gaps, pits and other aesthetic issues. A permanent refurbishment, veneers are customized by a master ceramist according to Dr. Dunston’s specific instructions. These laminates are perfectly matched to the patient’s natural teeth and are bonded permanently in place. With regular check-ups and good flossing and brushing at home, porcelain veneers beautify smiles for years.
Invisalign Clear Aligners
A straight smile is also a healthy smile. Older teens and adults enjoy comfortable, discreet orthodontics with Invisalign. Dr. Dunson tailors an Invisalign plan for mild to moderate orthodontic cases such as overbite, underbite, gaps, tooth rotation and protruding front teeth. For more complex issues, he uses traditional braces. Either way, patients end up with great aesthetics and teeth less prone to wear, decay and gum disease.
