Improve Your Smile & Your Confidence
Teeth whitening is a fast, easy, and affordable way to transform your smile and eliminate the appearance of stains, yellowing, and discoloration. We offer both in-office and take-home teeth whitening options at Tuttle Family Dentistry. Contact us now to schedule an appointment.
We use powerful peroxide whiteners and advanced lasers for in-office treatment for immediate results. In-office whitening is ideal if you want a dramatic transformation for a special occasion like a business conference, photoshoot, or wedding.
Take-home whitening provides the same results but in the comfort of your own home. Your dentist will build a set of custom whitening trays, then you’ll use these trays and a set of professional whitening products to whiten your teeth at home over the course of a few weeks. The end results are identical to in-office whitening, and you can avoid spending too much time at your Colorado Springs dentist!
Dental bonding uses a special type of dental composite material that can be molded and color-matched to blend seamlessly with your smile. This material is placed directly onto your tooth. Your dentist will then sculpt and shape it to cover up stains, chips, misshapen teeth, and other imperfections to restore your smile. The process is fast, non-invasive, and affordable, so it’s a great choice for those who want to enhance their smile in Colorado Springs.
Also known as dental shaping and contouring, enameloplasty is often used alongside dental bonding. In this procedure, your doctor will use a special sanding tool to remove a very thin layer of enamel from slightly-chipped, pointed, or uneven teeth. The entire process only takes a few minutes and results in a more pleasing and even smile.
Veneers are thin, strong, tooth-shaped shells made of porcelain. They are similar to dental crowns, but unlike a crown, they are only intended to cover up the front side of your teeth. This means that veneers can treat a wide variety of cosmetic issues like slightly uneven, stained, gapped, or chipped teeth, and much more.
Veneers are the longest-lasting method of cosmetic care, and they are almost completely impervious to stains and discoloration. However, they do require the permanent removal of some of your natural enamel, so you’ll need to keep this in mind when choosing the right treatment.

Cosmetic dentistry is dentistry focused on improving the aesthetics of the teeth and improving patients’ smiles using various dental procedures and appliances. Some of the most popular cosmetic dental procedures include teeth whitening, veneers, dental bonding, and crowns. All these procedures improve the visuals of teeth, but some also confer functional advantages.
Cosmetic dentistry enhances your smile by lightening the shade of your teeth, eliminating stains and discoloration, replacing missing teeth, repairing damaged teeth, and reshaping misshapen teeth. Other forms of cosmetic dentistry straighten misaligned teeth and reduce large gaps between teeth.
Anyone with strong, healthy teeth and good health, in general, can get cosmetic dentistry. However, patients with severe dental decay and gum disease might need treatment prior to cosmetic dental procedures. The dentist will conduct a dental examination and other tests to determine what types of cosmetic dentistry procedure works best for your particular case.
A cosmetic dental consultation allows you to air out your dental concerns and visual goals to the dentist. The dentist will ask you about your specific goals and whether you have any deadlines to meet regarding your smile transformation.
Next, the dentist will examine your gums and teeth to determine whether they're healthy enough for cosmetic dental procedures and what cosmetic options are ideal for your particular situation. The dentist will then discuss the available treatment options, so you can decide what suits you best. You’ll typically have two or more options, and the dentist will break down each. They’ll delve into details about the pros and cons of each procedure and encourage you to ask questions about the same.
Once you settle on a treatment option, the dentist will take X-rays, photographs, and bite impressions of your teeth. After that, you’ll discuss the cost of treatment and available financing options. You’ll then have an in-depth conversation about the actual procedure, post-treatment care, and whether you should expect any follow-up dental visits.
The suitability of cosmetic dental treatments candidature largely depends on the type of cosmetic dental treatment. However, factors like the patient's oral health and having enough tooth structure apply across the board.
You’re also a good candidate for cosmetic dental treatment if you’re unhappy with your teeth’s appearance. You may have chipped, stained, worn out, misshapen, cracked, or uneven teeth. All these imperfections make you an ideal candidate for cosmetic dentistry. You may also need cosmetic dentistry if you have large gaps between your teeth.
The success of your cosmetic dental treatment also depends on how well you take care of your teeth after the treatment. Ideal candidates for cosmetic dentistry are also committed to their treatment plans, meaning they take their medication as prescribed by the dentist and keep follow-up dental appointments.
