The right smile change for your situation
Every cosmetic option, explained without the hard sell
"Cosmetic dentistry" covers everything from a $400 whitening session to a $20K full smile makeover. Here's what we offer at our Chandler office and the kind of patient each is right for — so you can walk into the consult already knowing roughly where you land.
Porcelain veneers
For: Chipped, discolored, or uneven front teeth
Thin ceramic shells bonded to the front of visible teeth. Natural-looking, stain-resistant, typically 2 visits over 2–3 weeks. Best for patients who want a lasting change, not a touch-up.
Professional whitening
For: Stained teeth, no structural change needed
In-office whitening for fastest results, or custom take-home trays if you prefer to whiten on your own schedule. Works best when teeth are otherwise healthy — we check for decay first.
Composite bonding
For: Small chips, gaps, or shape fixes
Tooth-colored resin sculpted and cured in a single visit. Reversible, affordable, and ideal when a full veneer feels like overkill. Usually 1–2 hours start to finish.
Smile makeover
For: Multiple concerns, one coordinated plan
A phased plan combining veneers, whitening, bonding, and sometimes Invisalign into a single coordinated sequence. Digital preview first, then we build a timeline and budget that fits.
Tooth-colored fillings
For: Replacing silver/amalgam or old composites
Direct composite fillings matched to tooth shade. Faster than a veneer, preserves more natural tooth than a crown. We also safely remove aged amalgam if you want a metal-free mouth.
Gum contouring
For: Uneven gum line or "gummy" smile
A short laser procedure to reshape the gum line for a more even, proportional smile. Often paired with veneers or bonding — small change, disproportionate visual impact.

Before you commit
What a smile consult in Chandler actually looks like
Most cosmetic patients have been burned by a slick consult elsewhere — big quote, fast close, vague promises. We do the opposite. Your consult is a conversation plus a digital preview, and you leave with a written plan to think about at home.
- ✓ Digital smile preview so you see the likely result before treatment starts
- ✓ Honest assessment of whether whitening, bonding, or veneers fits your situation
- ✓ Written treatment plan with itemized pricing — nothing hidden, no last-page surprises
- ✓ Insurance benefits check — most PPOs cover any underlying restorative work
- ✓ Financing through CareCredit or Sunbit — decision in minutes if you want to move forward
- ✓ No pressure to book surgery the same day — go home, think, come back
- How long do porcelain veneers last?
- Typically 10–15+ years with good hygiene and night-guard protection if you grind. We use mid-prep veneers when possible so there's tooth structure to work with if they ever need replacement.
- Will whitening damage my enamel?
- Professional whitening agents are safe at the concentrations we use. Some patients get short-term sensitivity for 24–48 hours — usually managed with fluoride rinse or sensitivity toothpaste.
- Does insurance cover cosmetic work?
- Purely cosmetic work (veneers for appearance, whitening) usually isn't covered. Any restorative work underneath (cracked tooth, decay) often is. We verify and show you both sides on the written plan.
- Can I see the result before committing?
- Yes — that's the whole point of the digital preview. For larger cases we can also fit a temporary "mock-up" so you can live with the shape for a few days before we prep the permanent restoration.
Before you book — which fix actually fits
Whitening, bonding, veneers, or a full smile makeover: how to pick
Most Chandler patients who walk into a cosmetic consult already know what they don't like about their smile — a yellow cast in photos, a chipped front tooth, a gap that never quite closed, a full mouth they've stopped showing in pictures. They usually don't know which procedure is the right answer, or whether the one they read about online is overkill for what they actually need. Here's the four-question decision tree we walk every new cosmetic patient through before anyone touches a tooth.
Decision 1 · What's actually bothering you?
Color, shape, or both — the answer changes the whole plan
- Color only, healthy teeth: professional whitening — in-office boost or take-home trays — is usually the right first move. Cheapest option, fastest result, and reversible if you change your mind.
- A single chip, a small gap, or one short tooth: composite bonding fixes it in one visit, no lab, no temporary. Less expensive than a veneer; not as long-lasting.
- Multiple front teeth, persistent staining (tetracycline, root-canal greying), or shape changes you want to last: porcelain veneers. More invasive, longer process, longer-lasting.
- Worn bite, multiple broken teeth, or a full smile redesign: a smile makeover — usually a combination of veneers, crowns, and orthodontic alignment — planned as one project.
If you only need one thing fixed, we will not pitch you four. Most consults end with a smaller plan than the patient walked in expecting.
Decision 2 · How long do you want it to last?
Realistic durability — and what shortens it
- Whitening: a year or two between touch-ups for most patients. Coffee, red wine, and smoking shorten it; take-home trays let you re-boost at home in 30 minutes.
- Bonding: 3 to 7 years on a front tooth, less on a biting edge. Re-polishing is cheap; full replacement is straightforward when it gets worn or chipped.
- Porcelain veneers: 10 to 15+ years when the bite is balanced and you don't grind. A night guard is non-negotiable if you clench.
- Crown-and-veneer smile makeovers: 15+ years, often longer — the longest-lasting option, and the only one that also rebuilds a damaged bite at the same time.
We tell you the maintenance cost up front. Veneers are not "set it and forget it" — they last decades because they are maintained, not because they are indestructible.
Decision 3 · Are you planning around a date?
Wedding, headshots, reunion — work the timeline backwards
- Whitening before a date: finish 1 week ahead so the color settles and any sensitivity fades. Trays at home, 2 weeks; in-office, same week.
- Bonding before a date: 2 weeks ahead is plenty — one visit, no lab. Live with it a few days before the event so you're used to it in photos.
- Veneers before a date: 6 to 8 weeks minimum. Prep visit, temporary veneers for 2 to 3 weeks while the lab finishes the case, seat visit, then 1 to 2 weeks to settle.
- Full smile makeover: 3 to 6 months. Plan the consult a year ahead of any event you care about — Sun Lakes wedding-season patients usually start the December before a May ceremony.
If you walked in 4 weeks before a wedding wanting veneers on 8 teeth, we will tell you the truth: whitening + bonding gives you a better photo result than rushed veneers.
What the consult actually looks like
Preview the result before anything is touched
- Minutes 0–15: intake, a few questions about what you don't like in photos, no pressure-selling. Bring a picture of your smile you wish you had if you have one.
- Minutes 15–30: digital scan and photos. We show you the current shape on a monitor at chair-side, then map a proposed result over the top so you see both side-by-side.
- Minutes 30–45: the options and the trade-offs, with a written estimate of each path. Cheapest option is always on the list, even when it is not the most profitable for the practice.
- Larger cases: for veneer or smile-makeover plans, a temporary "mock-up" in your mouth lets you live with the new shape for a few days before the permanent prep starts.
Call or text 480-840-1101 to schedule a cosmetic consult — they run about 45 minutes and you leave with a plan and a written estimate.
Every cosmetic patient we see follows roughly this path: the decision on color vs shape, the durability conversation, the date on the calendar, and the digital preview before any prep starts. Patients who do all four steps before committing almost never end up surprised by the final result. Our same-day CEREC crowns explainer covers the technology side for restorations that double as cosmetic work; our full cosmetic services overview lays out the procedure menu in more depth.

Cosmetic dentistry in Chandler — what patients ask
Cosmetic dentist FAQ for Chandler, AZ
Cosmetic dentistry is the longest-consideration decision in our Chandler office — veneers, professional whitening, bonding, and full smile makeovers all change something you see in the mirror every day, so most patients want to understand the trade-offs before they commit. Below are the questions Dr. Annamareddy hears most often from Chandler, Sun Lakes, Ocotillo, and Gilbert patients during the first cosmetic consult.
How much do porcelain veneers cost in Chandler, AZ?
Porcelain veneers in our Chandler office typically run a few hundred dollars below the Phoenix-metro average per tooth, depending on lab, prep depth, and how many teeth are in the plan. We quote a flat per-tooth fee in writing after the digital preview — no add-on charges later. Most cosmetic insurance plans don't cover veneers, but CareCredit and Sunbit financing keep monthly payments predictable.
Is professional teeth whitening in Chandler worth it vs. drugstore strips?
Drugstore strips lift 1–2 shades on average; in-office professional whitening at our Chandler office typically lifts 4–8 shades in one visit, with custom take-home trays to maintain the result. The professional gel is also pH-buffered to reduce the sensitivity most patients get from strips. If you're prepping for a wedding, reunion, or family photos, the predictability is the main thing you're buying.
What's a smile makeover and do I need one?
A smile makeover combines two or more cosmetic procedures — usually whitening plus veneers or bonding — into one sequenced plan, so the final result is color-matched and balanced across the smile. Many Chandler patients only need one procedure, not a full makeover; the digital preview at the consult tells you which it is. You see the simulated result before any tooth is touched.
How long do veneers and cosmetic bonding last?
Porcelain veneers placed in Chandler typically last 10–15 years and often longer with good hygiene and a nightguard if you grind. Composite bonding is a lower-cost cosmetic fix and usually lasts 4–8 years before it needs refreshing — the trade-off is reversibility and same-day chair time. We walk through both options at the consult so the choice fits your budget and timeline.
Will cosmetic dentistry damage my natural teeth?
Modern cosmetic dentistry is much more conservative than it was 20 years ago. Bonding and professional whitening are essentially non-invasive — no enamel is removed for whitening, and bonding adds material rather than taking it away. Porcelain veneers do require thin enamel reduction (typically 0.3–0.5 mm), which we plan in advance from the digital preview so we remove only what's needed for a natural-looking result. We never recommend a cosmetic plan that compromises long-term tooth health.
