Your smile shapes first impressions, influences confidence, and affects how you interact with the world. Discolored, chipped, or misaligned teeth can hold you back from smiling freely in photos, interviews, or social situations. Cosmetic dentistry transforms these concerns into strengths through targeted treatments that enhance both appearance and function.
At Naylor Family Dental and Implant Center, we understand that each smile tells a unique story. Our cosmetic dentistry services address your specific aesthetic goals while maintaining the health and integrity of your natural teeth. Dr. Naylor combines advanced techniques with personalized care to deliver results that look natural and feel comfortable.
Cosmetic dentistry encompasses treatments designed to improve the appearance of your teeth, gums, and overall smile. These procedures range from simple whitening treatments to comprehensive smile makeovers involving multiple techniques. The focus extends beyond aesthetics to include improvements in bite alignment, tooth structure, and oral health.
Modern cosmetic dentistry uses materials and methods that create results virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth. Porcelain veneers match the translucency of enamel. Composite bonding blends seamlessly with the surrounding tooth structure. Clear aligners straighten teeth without the visibility of traditional braces.
We offer a comprehensive range of cosmetic procedures to address various aesthetic concerns and help you achieve your ideal smile.
Professional teeth whitening removes stains and discoloration that accumulate from coffee, tea, wine, and aging. In-office treatments deliver dramatic results in a single visit, lightening teeth several shades in about an hour. Take-home whitening kits provide gradual improvement over several weeks, offering convenience and control over the whitening process.
Teeth become stained due to pigments called chromogens that attach to the white, outer part of your tooth. Professional whitening systems use higher concentrations of bleaching agents than over-the-counter products, producing more effective and longer-lasting results.
Porcelain veneers consist of thin shells of ceramic material bonded to the front surface of teeth. These restorations correct chips, cracks, gaps, and severe discoloration that whitening cannot address. Veneers also reshape teeth that appear too short, too long, or oddly proportioned. The process requires minimal tooth preparation, preserving most of your natural tooth structure.
Clear aligners straighten crooked or crowded teeth using a series of transparent, removable trays. Each tray shifts teeth incrementally over time, gradually moving them into proper alignment. Treatment typically lasts 12 to 18 months, depending on the complexity of movement needed.
Dental bonding repairs minor chips, cracks, and gaps using tooth-colored composite resin. The dentist applies the material directly to the tooth surface, sculpts it into the desired shape, and hardens it with a special light. Results typically last three to ten years with proper care.
Cosmetic improvements extend beyond surface-level changes to deliver meaningful improvements in multiple areas of your life.
These combined benefits make cosmetic dentistry an investment that improves both immediate aesthetics and long-term oral health outcomes.
Protecting your investment requires consistent oral hygiene and regular dental care. Brush twice daily using proper technique and fluoride toothpaste. Floss once daily to remove plaque between teeth and along the gum line. Schedule professional cleanings every six months to remove buildup that home care misses.
Avoid habits that damage teeth and restorations. Don’t chew ice, open packages with your teeth, or use your teeth as tools. If you grind teeth at night, wearing a night guard protects both natural teeth and cosmetic work from excessive wear.

Experience unparalleled comfort with Invisalign's smooth and gentle BPA-free plastic material, ensuring a comfortable fit.
Invisalign allows you to maintain your regular routine, including your diet, without any significant adjustments needed.
Prior to starting your treatment, you will have an opportunity to discuss your desired smile outcomes with Dr. Naylor. He will carefully examine your bite and smile to determine if Invisalign is the appropriate solution for you. This is also a great time to ask any questions you may have regarding your smile, Invisalign, or other available treatment options.
Once you have been given the green light to proceed with Invisalign, Dr. Naylor will take scans or impressions of your teeth to ensure your aligners fit perfectly. Once your aligners are ready, you will visit our office to pick them up and begin your treatment. In some cases, Dr. Naylor may need to attach small fixtures to your teeth to aid in keeping the aligners securely in place.
While every treatment timeline is unique, you’ll most likely stop by our office every six weeks to pick up your next set of aligners. These check-ups are crucial as they ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned and that your Invisalign trays are fitting correctly.

The process begins with taking scans of your teeth to create a digital model of your mouth. This model is then sent to a local lab, where the aligners are crafted using computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) technology. These tools enable the creation of highly precise aligners tailored specifically to your needs. Once the aligners are completed, they are sent to Dr. Naylor to be fitted and delivered to you.
Invisalign aligners are made of clear, thin plastic, making them virtually invisible when worn. Each tray is custom-made to fit your gum line seamlessly. However, if you eat or drink with your aligners in, they may become stained, potentially making them more noticeable.
Invisalign attachments, also known as buttons, are small tooth-colored composite resin dots placed on your teeth. When you insert your Invisalign aligners, they snap over these buttons, providing an anchor to keep the aligners securely in place. This allows Dr. Naylor to adjust the position of your teeth more precisely and effectively throughout your Invisalign treatment.
If you lose your aligners or notice any cracks, damage, or wear and tear, please contact us immediately. Delaying assistance could prolong your treatment and reverse the progress you have made. We will ensure you receive a fresh set of trays as soon as possible, allowing you to continue with your treatment plan.
Invisalign is generally more comfortable than traditional braces, but you may experience some tenderness and soreness as your teeth start to shift. The gentle pressure exerted by the aligners prompts your tooth roots to move, leading to minor inflammation and discomfort. If you experience pain, we suggest taking Tylenol rather than ibuprofen, as ibuprofen’s anti-inflammatory properties can affect tooth movement.
If you don’t have severe oral health or orthodontic issues, Invisalign could be the right solution for your smile. However, if your dentist identifies extensive orthodontic problems, they may recommend metal or ceramic braces instead. To determine the best treatment option for your needs, reach out to our team and schedule a consultation today.
