What is cosmetic dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry improves the appearance of your teeth and smile while supporting function. Treatment may address color, contour, alignment, spacing, and overall balance with your lips and face. Many procedures are minimally invasive and can be staged over time. During your consultation in Houston, Texas, we review options and preview changes so you can choose confidently.
Your personalized plan with Dr. Mai Nguyen
Every smile is unique. Dr. Mai Nguyen begins with photos, shade evaluation, and a bite assessment to understand what matters most to you. We discuss durability, maintenance, and how treatments work together, such as whitening before veneers or bonding. If you clench or grind, we plan protective steps like a nightguard to help your results last.

Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs
Which cosmetic treatment is right for me?
The best choice depends on your goals, tooth structure, and timeline. Whitening targets color, bonding fixes chips and small gaps, veneers transform shape and shade, and aligners improve alignment. Dr. Mai Nguyen will compare benefits, limits, and maintenance so you can select a plan that fits your lifestyle and expectations.
How long do results last?
It varies by treatment and habits. Whitening needs periodic touch-ups. Bonding can last several years with good care. Veneers and esthetic crowns often last a decade or more. Wearing a nightguard if you clench, avoiding ice or hard objects, and keeping up with professional cleanings help extend longevity.
Will cosmetic dentistry help my oral health?
Often, yes. Smoothing chips and closing trap areas can make cleaning easier. Aligning teeth improves bite balance and may reduce wear. Esthetic crowns restore strength. We never compromise health for looks; your plan supports function and esthetics together so your smile stays comfortable and easier to maintain.
How soon can I start?
Many patients begin right after the consultation. Simple bonding or contouring can be completed in one visit. Whitening or aligners may start the same week. For veneers or esthetic crowns, expect a short planning phase for photos, shade selection, and digital mock-ups to ensure your final result matches your vision.
