5 Benefits of Cosmetic Dentistry

We all want a smile we can be proud of and one that makes us feel good about ourselves. Unfortunately, many factors can lead us to feel self-conscious about our teeth. Whether it was genetics, a lifestyle habit, an injury, a lack of dental hygiene, or a disease – your teeth may not look, feel, or function the way you want. Dr. Susan Ellison has over 30 years of experience designing smiles and giving people the quality of life they have desired for many years through Cosmetic Dentistry.

Why You Should Choose Cosmetic Dentistry

Not only does Dr. Ellison have the experience, but she has trained alongside global leaders in the latest dental technology (including 3D digital enhanced imaging) to perfect her practice and offer the best cosmetic dentistry in Houston. Here are some benefits of choosing a customized smile design with Dr. Ellison.

1. Enhanced Confidence

A beautiful smile that you are proud of gives you confidence that draws people to you and can help you in a multitude of ways. A confident person is more likely to have the job of their dreams, get promotions, have a closer circle of friends, volunteer, and be in better overall health.

2. Improved Quality of Life

Confidence alone will improve the quality of your life, but once you take the leap and invest in Cosmetic Dentistry, you may find that your quality of life improves in many other ways. Many times, cosmetic dentistry isn’t solely for aesthetics. Improving the look of our smile can also improve the function of our teeth and jaw. This can help people feel more comfortable when eating or speaking – basic things in life that we may take for granted.

3. Health & Prevention

Once you invest in Cosmetic Dentistry, you will have begun a lifelong commitment to your teeth. Cosmetic services like veneers offer protection for your teeth and can help improve your overall dental health. Once you choose a cosmetic treatment, you are more likely to take better care of your teeth – giving you health and prevention of gum and oral diseases for years to come.

4. Longevity & Cost

Many cosmetic dentistry treatments can last for decades. While the upfront costs may deter some, it is important to remember the preventative aspects of cosmetic dentistry. People who invest in cosmetic dentistry now may prevent more costly and extensive dental procedures later in life.

5. Customized Smile Design

Unlike general dentistry, cosmetic dentists like Dr. Ellison take the time to get to know each patient and their ultimate dental goals. Our team at Susan Ellison Dentistry & Cosmetics works closely with the patient and Dr. Ellison to ensure that every step of their cosmetic dentistry journey is customized to their individual needs and goals.

When it comes to transforming your smile, our team offers a wide range of services designed to restore confidence, improve function, and enhance beauty—all with a personalized touch. Here’s a look at the most popular cosmetic services we offer:

All-On-4 Dental Implants

All-On-4 Dental Implants are a game-changer for patients who need full-arch restoration. This innovative procedure allows us to replace an entire row of teeth using just four strategically placed implants. You’ll leave the office with a beautiful, functional smile—often the very same day. Unlike traditional dentures, All-On-4 implants are fixed, feel like natural teeth, and eliminate the worry of slipping or discomfort.

Veneers

Porcelain veneers are ideal for correcting chips, discoloration, spacing, or uneven teeth. Custom-designed to match your ideal smile shape and shade, veneers offer a stunning transformation that looks completely natural—and they last for years.

Invisalign® Clear Aligners

For patients who want straighter teeth without the hassle of metal braces, Invisalign offers a discreet and comfortable alternative. These clear aligners gradually shift your teeth into the desired position while maintaining a natural appearance throughout the process.

Teeth Whitening

Brighten your smile with our professional whitening treatments that offer safe, powerful, and long-lasting results. Whether you’re prepping for a special event or just want a quick confidence boost, we’ve got the perfect whitening solution.

Implants & Crowns

If you’re missing one or more teeth, dental implants topped with custom crowns offer a permanent, natural-looking solution. These restorations improve both function and appearance, and Dr. Ellison’s advanced training ensures they’re done with precision and care.

Smile Makeovers
