Cosmetic Dentistry in Buckhead, Cumming & Dawsonville, GA
Our cosmetic dentistry team helps patients across Buckhead and the greater Atlanta area get the smile they want, from a single chipped tooth to a full smile makeover. Porcelain veneers, dental bonding, teeth whitening, porcelain crowns, clear aligners and complete smile makeovers, all under one roof.
What does cosmetic dentistry include?
Cosmetic dentistry at ANEWU covers six procedures: porcelain veneers, dental bonding, professional teeth whitening, porcelain crowns, clear aligners and full smile makeovers. Each one changes how a tooth looks, rather than only how it works. Which one suits you depends on whether the issue is color, shape, spacing or damage.
If you have ever wondered which of those applies to you, start from the thing that bothers you in photographs rather than from the name of a procedure. Stain points one way, a chipped edge another, and a missing tooth somewhere else entirely.

Learn moreAm I a candidate for cosmetic dentistry?
Most adults with healthy gums and no untreated decay are candidates for cosmetic dentistry. Active gum disease or an untreated cavity is addressed first, because porcelain and resin need a sound tooth underneath. An exam at your free ANEWU consultation confirms which of the six procedures your teeth can support.
Cosmetic work is elective, which means the decision is yours and the timing is yours. Nothing here is urgent care.
- Your gums are healthy and you have no untreated decay
- You want to change the color, shape or spacing of teeth you still have
- One or two front teeth are what you notice first in photographs
- You have chips, worn edges, or a tooth that has darkened over time
- You want to see the plan, the shade and the shape before any work starts
- You still have the tooth you want changed, since a missing tooth is replaced rather than resurfaced
Cosmetic dentistry, backed by a full surgical and imaging team.
Our cosmetic dentistry team works inside the same practice as the oral surgery team led by Dr. Abtin Shahriari, an oral surgeon specializing in implant dentistry, with 3D imaging and an on site lab close by.
Facial aesthetics at ANEWU is led by Dr. Arshia Payman, MD, so a smile plan and the face around it can be discussed in the same visit.
Which cosmetic dentistry procedure fits your goal?
Match the procedure to the problem. Whitening lifts stain, bonding repairs small chips, veneers reshape front teeth, crowns rebuild a damaged tooth, clear aligners close gaps and straighten, and a smile makeover combines several of those in one plan. Some goals need more than one of the six, and results vary from patient to patient.

What a free cosmetic consultation covers.
Three things happen before anyone talks about treatment: we listen, we look, and we explain the plan and the cost. You leave knowing what is possible, whether or not you book.
There is more detail on what to expect at your first visit, including what to bring and how long to allow.
Book a free consultationTell us what bothers you
Most of the first appointment is spent listening. Bring a photo of a smile you like if that is easier than describing it.
An exam, photos and imaging
We look at the teeth, the gums and the bite, and use 3D imaging where the plan depends on what is under the surface.
A plan you can think about
Our team walks you through the recommended procedures, the order they happen in and what your case would cost, before you decide anything.
How much does cosmetic dentistry cost in Atlanta?
Cost depends on which procedure you need and how many teeth are involved, so ANEWU quotes each case after an exam rather than publishing a flat price. Dental insurance typically does not cover cosmetic treatment. CareCredit and Proceed Finance are available, and a monthly payment plan is set up before your procedure.
Whitening one arch and rebuilding six front teeth are not the same question, which is why a single number online would mislead almost everyone reading it. The full list of implant and cosmetic financing options is set out separately.
We accept Visa, MasterCard and Discover. Financing is arranged before treatment begins, not after, so you know the monthly figure before you commit to anything.
What if the tooth is missing, not just damaged?
A missing tooth is replaced, not resurfaced. Cosmetic work like veneers or bonding only reshapes a tooth that is still there. When a tooth is gone, a dental implant replaces the root and the crown, and a full arch of missing teeth can be restored on four or more implants.
If you have ever wondered how to replace missing teeth rather than cover up the gap, that is the line between cosmetic dentistry and surgery, and both happen here. Dental implants at ANEWU are placed by the oral surgery team in the same building.
For a whole jaw, full arch restoration is kept in house and finished in the on site lab rather than sent out. Not every jaw has the bone volume for it, so the scan comes first.
Cosmetic dentistry questions, answered.
Straightforward answers before you book. More general questions about visiting us are covered in our new patient FAQs.
Ask us directlyVeneers are thin porcelain shells bonded to the front of a tooth, built for a longer-lasting, more color-stable result. Bonding uses a tooth-colored resin applied directly to the tooth, typically a faster, more affordable fix for smaller chips or gaps. Our cosmetic dentistry team will recommend which fits your case at your consultation.
Results vary by patient and by how stained or discolored your teeth are to start. Our team will look at your teeth and talk through a realistic result before you commit to treatment.
A smile makeover combines whichever cosmetic dentistry procedures, such as veneers, bonding, whitening or crowns, are needed to address your specific smile goals in one coordinated plan, rather than one procedure at a time.
Invisalign is one specific brand of clear aligner. We offer clear aligner treatment for straightening teeth discreetly, and our cosmetic dentistry team can walk you through which system fits your case at your consultation.
Porcelain crowns are shaped and shaded to match your surrounding teeth, restoring a damaged or heavily worn tooth without it standing out. Our team reviews shade and shape with you as part of your treatment.
