Our Cosmetic Services
Invisible Braces
Clear aligners let you straighten your teeth without pressing pause on daily life. They are virtually invisible, come out for meals and cleaning, and reach the finish line in less time than traditional braces. For adults who want to look their best in professional or social settings, and for teens after a modern alternative to metal brackets, invisible braces are a discreet, comfortable path to straight teeth.
Dental Implants
For replacing missing teeth, nothing matches a dental implant. A titanium post fuses with your jawbone to form a stable, permanent base for a custom crown that looks and works like a natural tooth. Because the post takes over the job of a real root, it also protects bone health and keeps neighboring teeth from drifting, so your smile stays complete and your bite stays balanced. Learn more about replacing a single missing tooth.
Teeth Whitening
Years of stains and discoloration lift away with professional whitening, leaving a brighter, more youthful smile. Choose in-office laser whitening for dramatic, same-day results, or custom take-home trays that brighten gradually on your own schedule. Both approaches reach a level of whitening that over-the-counter products cannot touch.
Porcelain Veneers
Bonded to the front of your teeth, veneers are ultra-thin porcelain shells that correct chips, stains, gaps, and minor misalignment in a single step. Every veneer is custom-designed for your smile, so the finished result looks natural and is virtually indistinguishable from real teeth. For a less invasive approach, we also offer minimal-prep and no-prep options.
Botox (Botulinum Toxin)
The lines and wrinkles on your face don't always match how young you feel. By relaxing overactive muscles, botulinum toxin injections soften those lines and reduce the repeated creasing that deepens them, for a refreshed look. The same treatment is FDA-approved for preventing headaches in adults with chronic migraine, and is also used off-label for TMD-related jaw pain and clenching.

Frequently Asked Questions
That comes down to what you want to change about your smile. Whitening is the answer for stains and yellowing, veneers handle chips, gaps, and discoloration in a single procedure, invisible braces correct crowding or misalignment, and implants replace missing teeth and can last a lifetime.
After hearing your goals, Dr. Andre Amarante will recommend the single option, or the combination, that best fits your budget and timeline. A smaller, conservative treatment can sometimes accomplish most of what a patient is looking for, while other cases call for combining a couple of treatments.
What you feel varies by procedure, and for most patients any discomfort is brief and manageable. Whitening can bring temporary sensitivity that fades within a day or two, veneers involve minimal tooth preparation under local anesthesia, and invisible braces create mild pressure each time you switch to a new set of trays.
Dental anxiety is common, so we never assume you should just push through it. If you'd like extra comfort during any procedure, we also offer inhaled sedation, and letting Dr. Andre Amarante know about any concerns beforehand helps us plan your visit accordingly.
Each cosmetic treatment holds up for a different span of time, so it helps to know what to expect before choosing one path over another:
- Teeth whitening: With proper maintenance, professional whitening lasts 1–3 years.
- Porcelain veneers: Porcelain veneers typically last 10–15 years or longer.
- Dental implants: With good care, dental implants can last a lifetime.
- Invisible braces: Results stay permanent as long as you wear your retainer as instructed.
- Botox: Botox results last 3–4 months before a touch-up is needed.
Because these timelines vary so widely, Dr. Andre Amarante will walk you through realistic expectations for any treatment you're considering, and can help you plan touch-ups or maintenance so your results keep looking their best.
Absolutely, and many patients do exactly that to get a complete smile makeover. A common pairing is whitening plus veneers for a bright, uniform look, or invisible braces first followed by whitening once your teeth are aligned.
Dr. Andre Amarante can map out a phased treatment plan that tackles several concerns at once and delivers the best overall result, sequencing treatments in the order that makes the most clinical and cosmetic sense. Combining treatments this way means one coordinated plan that avoids conflicts between treatments and gives you a clear timeline from start to finish, though the number of visits depends on which procedures are involved.
Because most cosmetic treatments are elective, dental insurance usually does not cover them. Whitening, veneers placed purely for appearance, and Botox are typically considered out-of-pocket expenses since they don't treat a functional problem with your teeth or bite.
Procedures that also restore function, such as crowns, implants, and orthodontics, may qualify for partial coverage. We'll check your benefits and offer financing options to fit your budget, so cost never has to be the reason you put off the smile you want.
