Cosmetic dentistry involves much more than repairing chipped or broken teeth. In the hands of an artist, it will refresh and enhance your smile and look completely natural.
What Is a Cosmetic Dentist?
A true cosmetic dentist has skill and artistic inclination. When improvements or restorations to your teeth are made, they are both structurally sound and esthetically appealing. Like most accomplished artists, a cosmetic dentist’s ability to create beautiful designs is the result of several factors’ including:
- Advanced training
- Artistic inclination
- Essential tools and materials to create lifelike results

Cosmetic Dentistry Services
Dr. Brooksher offers a full selection of cosmetic dentistry services, including:
Porcelain veneers
Porcelain veneers transform a single tooth, multiple teeth, or your entire smile. Thin shells of porcelain are custom made to fit over the fronts of your teeth and conceal misalignment, chips, gaps, discoloration and more. Read more about this treatment on our porcelain veneers page.
Porcelain crowns
Dr. Brooksher uses e.max and zirconia crowns to protect teeth that are badly broken, worn, or decayed. The crowns will match your natural teeth. Read our porcelain crowns page for an explanation of the options.
Dental bonding
Small gaps between teeth, chips, cracks, and discoloration can all be concealed with dental bonding. Dr. Brooksher blends dental composite to match the color and translucency of your natural teeth. It is applied, shaped, and polished to a natural gloss. Read our dental bonding page for details.
