Cosmetic dentistry is about more than just appearance. It’s about feeling confident when you smile, speak, and interact with the world. At Andover Family Dentistry in Andover, KS, Dr. Howell combines advanced techniques with an artistic eye to create beautiful, natural-looking results that enhance both function and aesthetics.
Whether you want to brighten your smile, fix a chipped tooth, or completely transform your appearance, we’re here to help you achieve the smile you’ve always wanted.
Professional Teeth Whitening
We offer two premium whitening systems that deliver dramatic, long-lasting results.
- KoR whitening is one of the most effective whitening systems available. It treats even the most stubborn stains, including those caused by aging, medication, and genetics. KoR whitening can lighten teeth by several shades and provides results that last for years.
- Opalescence whitening offers both in-office and take-home options. In-office whitening delivers noticeable results in a single visit. Take-home trays allow you to whiten gradually on your own schedule with professional-strength gel.
Both systems are safe, effective, and customized to your teeth and sensitivity level.
Porcelain Crowns & Veneers
Porcelain crowns and veneers can transform damaged, discolored, or misshapen teeth into a beautiful, cohesive smile.
Crowns cover the entire tooth, restoring its shape, strength, and appearance. They’re ideal for teeth that are severely damaged, heavily filled, or weakened by root canal treatment.
Veneers are ultra-thin shells that cover the front surface of your teeth. They can correct chips, cracks, gaps, discoloration, and minor alignment issues in one or two visits.
Both crowns and veneers are made from high-quality porcelain that mimics the translucency and color of natural enamel.
Comprehensive Smile Makeovers
A smile makeover combines multiple cosmetic treatments to address all your aesthetic concerns at once. Dr. Howell will evaluate your teeth, gums, bite, and facial proportions to create a customized plan that delivers beautiful, balanced results.
A smile makeover might include whitening, veneers, crowns, bonding, or gum contouring. The goal is to create a smile that looks natural, enhances your features, and boosts your confidence.
Natural-Looking Tooth-Colored Fillings
Metal fillings are a thing of the past. We use tooth-colored composite resin for all our fillings, ensuring that your dental work is virtually invisible.
Composite fillings bond directly to your tooth, which means we preserve more of your natural tooth structure. They’re strong, durable, and blend seamlessly with your smile.
Quick Fixes With Cosmetic Bonding
Cosmetic bonding is a fast, affordable way to repair minor imperfections like chips, cracks, gaps, or discoloration. Dr. Howell applies tooth-colored composite resin directly to your tooth, sculpts it into the desired shape, and polishes it to match your natural enamel.
Bonding can often be completed in a single visit with no anesthesia required.
Function Meets Aesthetics
Cosmetic dentistry isn’t just about looks. It’s also about creating a healthy, functional bite. Dr. Howell ensures that every cosmetic treatment supports proper bite alignment, protects your teeth from wear, and promotes long-term oral health.
Beautiful teeth should also be healthy teeth.
Maintaining Your Results
With proper care, cosmetic dental work can last for many years.
To protect your investment:
- Brush and floss daily
- Avoid staining foods and drinks
- Don’t use your teeth as tools
- Wear a nightguard if you grind your teeth
- Visit us regularly for cleanings and checkups
