What Is Cosmetic Dentistry and How Can It Help You?
Cosmetic dentistry aims to improve the appearance of your teeth, gums, and smile. But it’s more than just aesthetics. A cosmetic dentist can address issues such as discoloration, misalignment, and worn-down teeth, helping you achieve a more confident smile, improve bite functionality, and enhance overall dental health.
Listen to Dr. Crapo explain what cosmetic dentistry is.
Do You Need Cosmetic Dentistry?
You might benefit from cosmetic dentistry if you:
-
Hide your smile in photos or social settings
-
Have chipped, stained, or uneven teeth
-
Experience discomfort due to bite misalignment
-
Want to boost your confidence with a brighter smile
You may also try this quick bite test:
Close your mouth gently and clench your teeth together for a few seconds. (Make sure you don’t have anything between your teeth, like gum.) If you sense any discomfort or localized pressure in an area of your mouth, then your bite is probably unbalanced.
During your consultation, our team will assess your goals and recommend the best treatment options tailored to your needs.
What Cosmetic Dentistry Services Do We Offer?
At Dr. Crapo & Associates, we provide a full range of cosmetic dentistry services in Victoria, including:
-
Teeth Whitening
Brighten your smile with professional in-office whitening treatments that deliver fast, noticeable results.
-
Invisalign & Braces
Straighten your teeth discreetly with Invisalign or explore traditional braces for more complex alignment issues.
-
Ceramic, Porcelain & Resin Veneers
Reshape and perfect your smile with custom-made veneers that cover imperfections like chips, gaps, or uneven teeth.

Dental Crowns
Crowns help protect and restore damaged teeth. Fully covering the tooth, they offer lasting strength and aesthetic appeal, ideal for both cosmetic and functional needs.

Bite Rehabilitation
A misaligned bite can lead to jaw pain, enamel wear, and digestive issues. We use digital imaging and modern techniques to restore proper alignment, without the need for full orthodontics.

How long do cosmetic dental treatments last?
It depends on the procedure. Crowns are highly durable and can last 15 years or much more with proper care. Veneers typically last 10–15 years, while whitening treatments may require touch-ups every 6–12 months. Your dentist will guide you on how to maintain your results for long-term success.
Is cosmetic dentistry painful?
When it comes to cosmetic dentistry, treatments are typically not invasive, which in most cases results in little to no discomfort. Our team is trained to prioritize your comfort throughout the process of any procedure.
Will insurance cover cosmetic procedures?
Cosmetic treatments are typically covered when they also serve functional purposes. If you have any questions regarding your coverage, simply reach out to us and we will help you understand your options.

Your Smile Counts
Countless surveys have shown that a person’s smile is the first thing that people look at when making that all-important first impression. Are you ever unhappy with your smile? Have you ever considered botox treatments or dental cosmetic surgery to draw attention away from your teeth? Do you hold your lips closed when friends start waving their camera around? Our smile is one of the most important physical manifestations of our personality, but if we’re too concerned about our teeth to smile, it can actually affect us beyond a photo opportunity.

“My smile always had a big gap between the two front teeth, and it made me self-conscious. Even though I hated having my picture taken, I didn’t want my smile to look artificial. Dr. Crapo recommended veneers to close the gap and keep my smile looking natural. Now I get compliments for being born with such a nice smile. It makes me laugh a little bit.”
- A Happy Patient
No more grinding
After years of clenching her teeth in her sleep, Dorreen’s teeth began to show signs of wear. When she first came to see Dr. Crapo, he determined that her bite would need extensive rehabilitation.
“I’ve had serious grinding issues since I was young… [I’ve even had] root canals because of the extreme pressure that I’ve put on my teeth, and then cracked roots. After going through a number of procedures… I’m quite confident now, that I won’t have any more breakage.”
