Natural Looking Smile Enhancements Backed by Years of Experience

Cosmetic dentistry is about more than making teeth look whiter or straighter. Done well, it creates balance, proportion, and a smile that fits your face naturally.

At Arizona Smiles, cosmetic dentistry has been a core part of what we do since 1997. Whether you want to brighten your smile, close gaps, reshape worn teeth, or completely redesign your smile, we build treatment plans around what actually makes sense for you — not a one size fits all cosmetic package.

We offer a full range of cosmetic dental treatments in Gilbert, AZ, including veneers, teeth whitening, same-day crowns, gum contouring, adult orthodontics, and full smile makeovers.

Our Philosophy

Cosmetic Dentistry That Looks Like You — Only Better

The best cosmetic dental work should never look obvious.
You’ve seen cosmetic dentistry that looks artificial: overly white teeth, flat uniform shapes, and smiles that look disconnected from the patient’s facial features. That’s not our philosophy.

Every cosmetic treatment we provide is customized around:

  • Your natural tooth proportions
  • Facial symmetry and smile line
  • Skin tone and shade matching
  • Lip position and gum display
  • Long-term function and bite balance

Our goal is simple: results that look natural, feel comfortable, and age well.

Cosmetic Dental Services We Offer

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers correct a wide range of cosmetic concerns:

  • Chipped or worn teeth
  • Deep discoloration
  • Minor spacing issues
  • Uneven tooth shape
  • Small alignment imperfections

Each veneer is individually designed for natural translucency, contour, and proportion. Unlike overly aggressive cosmetic approaches, we focus on creating veneers that enhance your smile without making it look artificial.

Professional Teeth Whitening

Professional whitening can brighten your smile several shades in about an hour. We offer:

  • In-office whitening for fast results
  • Custom take-home whitening trays
  • Sensitivity-conscious treatment options

Professional whitening provides stronger, more even, and longer-lasting results than over-the-counter products.

Same-Day Cosmetic Crowns

When a tooth is heavily worn, fractured, or cosmetically compromised, a custom ceramic crown can restore both function and appearance. Using our in-office CEREC technology, we design and mill custom porcelain crowns in a single visit. That means:

  • No temporary crowns
  • No second appointment
  • No waiting weeks for a lab

Full Smile Makeovers

Sometimes cosmetic concerns involve more than one issue. A smile makeover combines treatments like:

  • Veneers
  • Whitening
  • Crowns
  • Implants
  • Gum contouring
  • Orthodontics

We coordinate everything under one roof to create a cohesive result that addresses your smile as a whole.

Gum Recontouring for Gummy Smiles

If your smile shows excessive gum tissue, laser gum contouring can rebalance the proportion between teeth and gums. This treatment can:

  • Create a more even gum line
  • Make teeth appear longer
  • Improve smile symmetry
  • Enhance veneer and crown results

The procedure is precise, minimally invasive, and often completed in one visit.

Adult Orthodontics

Straightening teeth isn’t just for teenagers.
For adults who want to improve alignment without traditional braces, we offer discreet orthodontic solutions that correct:

  • Crowding
  • Spacing
  • Bite concerns
  • Minor rotations

In many cases, orthodontics can improve cosmetic results while preserving natural tooth structure.

How It Works

How Cosmetic Dentistry Starts at Arizona Smiles

01

Consultation & Smile Assessment

We begin with a conversation about what you’d like to change. We evaluate tooth shape and symmetry, shade and discoloration, alignment, gum balance, and bite function — then map out your options clearly.

02

Digital Planning

Using digital imaging and advanced diagnostics, we design your treatment with precision. Shape adjustments, shade matching, proportional balance, treatment sequencing — you’ll understand exactly what to expect before treatment begins.

03

Treatment & Refinement

Whether your treatment involves whitening, veneers, crowns, or multiple procedures, we make careful adjustments to ensure every detail looks and feels right — in conversation, in photos, and in everyday life.

Common Questions About Cosmetic Dentistry

How Do I Know Which Cosmetic Treatment Is Right For Me?

Every smile is different. During your consultation, Dr. Bollwinkel will assess your goals, oral health, and budget to recommend a personalized treatment plan — whether that’s a single procedure or a phased approach.

How Long Do Cosmetic Dental Results Last?

It depends on the treatment and how it is maintained. Porcelain veneers and crowns commonly last 10 to 15 years or longer, professional whitening typically lasts one to two years with periodic touch-ups, and gum recontouring results are permanent. Good home care and regular cleanings protect your results.

Is Cosmetic Dentistry Worth It?

For most patients, yes. Beyond appearance, treatments like veneers, crowns, and orthodontics can protect worn or damaged teeth, improve bite balance, and make daily cleaning easier. We will always tell you honestly when a more conservative option makes more sense.

Will My Results Look Natural?

That is our priority. Every case is designed around your natural tooth proportions, facial symmetry, and skin tone, so the result complements your face instead of standing out. Shape, shade, and translucency are all planned before treatment begins.

Do You Offer Financing For Cosmetic Treatments?

Yes. We work with most major dental insurance plans and offer flexible payment and financing options, so cosmetic treatment can be planned in phases that fit your budget.
