Featured Smile Makeover Procedures Available at Our Columbia, SC, Dental Office

We can combine cosmetic dentistry procedures to address several aesthetic concerns, including discoloration, crooked teeth, a gummy smile, chips, cracks, and much more. Here are some of the most common ways Dr. Nick can fix or conceal your concerns:

Invisalign

Clear aligners from Invisalign® effectively move your teeth without drawing attention to your treatment. Dr. Nick commonly pairs this treatment with veneers — and, in select cases, can potentially offer a discount for patients who opt for both procedures.

Dental Bonding

If you have concerns like chips, discoloration, or tooth size, dental bonding can provide a simple fix. With this treatment, our cosmetic dentist will place composite resin over your tooth or teeth and cure it until it hardens.

​Gum Contouring

Gum contouring offers plenty of possibilities, like adjusting a gummy smile, making your gumline more symmetrical, or even improving your overall oral health. Gum contouring is conducted with a safe dental laser that gently reshapes your gumline.
