Transform Your Smile With
Personalized Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry shouldn’t feel rushed or formulaic. During your consultation, we take time to understand what you want to improve and what kind of smile fits you best. We explain each treatment option clearly, show you digital previews when appropriate, and help you choose the path that makes the most sense for your needs.
Some patients want subtle refinements. Others want a full makeover. Either way, we guide you through every step with clarity and realistic expectations.
Our Cosmetic Dentistry Services
Our Approach to Aesthetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry blends aesthetics, function, and long-term oral health. We focus on creating balanced, natural-looking results rather than a one-size-fits-all “perfect” smile. This approach allows us to enhance your appearance while preserving the integrity of your teeth.
Here’s what guides our process:
- Digital evaluations that help us measure proportions and preview results
- High-quality materials that mimic natural enamel
- A conservative treatment philosophy that avoids unnecessary work
- A focus on comfort and clarity during planning and treatment
We want you to understand exactly why we recommend a specific treatment and how it will help you reach your goals.
Smile Design: How We Plan and Create a Natural-Looking Smile
Smile design is the foundation of many cosmetic treatments. It lets us plan the details of your new smile before any work begins.
During this process, we evaluate:
- Tooth proportion
- Symmetry
- Gum line shape
- Bite alignment
- How your smile fits your facial features
With digital imaging and mockups, you can see possible outcomes and feel confident in your treatment plan. This step is especially helpful for patients planning veneers or multiple cosmetic procedures.
Porcelain Veneers: A Durable, Natural Upgrade for Your Smile
Porcelain veneers are thin, ceramic shells placed on the front surfaces of your teeth to correct chips, discoloration, uneven edges, gaps, or worn enamel. They’re popular because they offer strong, predictable results with a natural, lifelike look.
What veneers can improve
- Deep stains that don’t respond to whitening
- Gaps between teeth
- Short, uneven, or worn enamel
- Minor misalignment
- Chips or cracks
What the treatment involves
- Consultation and smile planning
- Digital scans to design the veneers
- Temporary veneers while your final set is crafted
- Final placement in a second visit
Most patients complete the process in about two appointments. Veneers typically last 10 to 15 years with proper care.
Honest guidance
Veneers aren’t right for everyone. If your enamel is thin, if you grind your teeth, or if your bite needs correction, we’ll offer alternatives that protect your long-term oral health.
Teeth Whitening Options: In-Office & Take-Home
If your teeth have become dull from coffee, tea, wine, tobacco, medications, or natural aging, whitening can brighten your smile quickly and safely. We offer:
In-office whitening
Great for fast, noticeable results. Many patients leave their appointment several shades brighter.
Custom take-home trays
A gradual, flexible option that allows you to whiten on your own schedule while maintaining results long-term.
We’ll help you understand what whitening can and cannot change so your expectations stay realistic. Some deep stains may require veneers or bonding instead.
Real Patient Story
“Years ago I started going to Cornerstone because his ads stated cosmetic dentistry. I though I’ll have a dentist concerned not only with the health of my teeth, but the appearance. I found that and SO much more. Dr. Hardy’s office back then had the latest technology and the staff was friendly, professional and personable. As the location and some of the staff has grown and change, the atmosphere is still the same warm, welcoming place. I am so happy for Dr. Hardy. He always has a big smile and has built a beautiful, peaceful, state of the art technology building and staffed it with wonderful, caring people. Recently I had the opportunity to meet Dr. Wilson and he is the perfect addition. I have recommended Cornerstone to my Son and he loves them too. I HIGHLY recommend them to anyone in search of a Personable, Professional and Knowledgeable Dentistry office.”

“I received cosmetic dentistry from Dr. Hardy. I am very pleased with the results. All of the staff are caring and do a great job.”

Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs
How long do cosmetic treatments last?
It depends on the service. Veneers often last more than a decade, whitening results last several months, and bonding can last a few years before needing touch-ups.
Is cosmetic dentistry painful?
Most treatments are comfortable. Veneers and whitening may cause mild temporary sensitivity, but discomfort is minimal for most patients.
Are veneers reversible?
Veneers do require enamel reshaping, so the treatment is considered permanent. We discuss this in detail during your consultation.
How do I know which treatment is right for me?
Your consultation includes a review of your goals, facial features, and oral health. We then walk you through the options that best match your needs.
How much does cosmetic dentistry cost?
Costs vary based on the service and the number of teeth treated. We discuss pricing clearly during your visit so there are no surprises.
