What Is Cosmetic Dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry is a specialized field of dentistry that focuses on improving the appearance of your smile. Cosmetic treatments are non-surgical and do not require general anesthesia. Some of the cosmetic treatments also improve the function of the mouth and jaw, including Invisalign and clear aligners.
At Zuri Dental, Dr. Maina leverages the power of dental technology, including advanced imaging devices, and software to custom-design treatment plans for Invisalign and clear aligners. Advanced software and 3D impressions are also used to create custom dental veneers.
Benefits of Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic Dental Procedures Available at Zuri Dental
Invisalign® & Clear Aligners
Dr. Maina provides orthodontic treatment with Invisalign and clear aligners. Invisalign & clear aligners correct crooked, slanted, gapped, and crowded teeth. Invisalign and clear aligners also correct mild to moderate problems with overbite, underbite, crossbite, and open bite.
Veneers
Dental veneers provide a movie-star smile. Custom veneers are thin shells that are bonded to the teeth hiding stained teeth, chipped teeth, unevenly sized or misshapen teeth, and close small gaps between teeth.
Cosmetic Bonding
Cosmetic bonding uses composite bonding to correct imperfections in the teeth, including chips, small teeth, and misshapen teeth. Cosmetic bonding can also correct stains on the teeth, and close small gaps.
Microabrasion
Microabrasion removes micro-layers of enamel, to minimize yellow and brown decalcification spots (stains) on the teeth revealing brighter, whiter teeth.
Frequently Asked Questions About Cosmetic Dentistry
Does insurance pay for Invisalign?
If your dental insurance policy provides orthodontic coverage, Invisalign is often approved.
How long does in-office teeth whitening take?
It takes just about one hour to achieve whiter teeth with in-office teeth whitening at Zuri Dental.
How long does at-home teeth whitening take?
Professional-grade teeth whitening kits available from Zuri Dental reach maximum effectiveness in a few weeks.
Does cosmetic bonding need to be repeated?
Cosmetic bonding will need to be repeated if the composite bonding material chips. In most cases, the cosmetic bonding material will last at least three years before needing to be touched up.
If I have fillings can I get teeth whitening?
Teeth that have dental restorations will not respond to whitening agents. If your fillings are near the front of your mouth, teeth whitening is not a good option. However, if you have fillings in the teeth that don’t show when you smile, teeth whitening can be a terrific cosmetic treatment.
Can I get more than one cosmetic dental treatment?
Absolutely. Many patients choose a smile makeover, combining multiple cosmetic treatments to get their most beautiful smile ever.
What is the most affordable cosmetic dental treatment?
Teeth whitening and cosmetic bonding are both very affordable dental treatments. However, all cosmetic treatments can be made more affordable, by paying for them over time, which CareCredit financing allows you to do.
How long will veneers last?
Porcelain veneers are expected to last at least 10 years and may last as long as 30 years, with excellent oral hygiene, and regular dental care.
