Conditions Treated with Cosmetic Dentistry
Even a small chip or fracture can make a tooth appear unhealthy. Your Kansas City, MO, dentist can address these flaws and restore the aesthetics of your smile.
Whether you have surface stains or deep tooth discoloration, cosmetic dentist John Goodman can recommend the appropriate treatment to enhance your smile.
Crooked, overlapped, or gapped teeth can detract from the appearance of your smile. We offer several treatment options to improve your smile.
We can also address a range of other conditions with aesthetic dental care:

Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures
To help you achieve the best possible results, Dr. Goodman uses photography, other cases featured on our website, and a diagnostic wax-up of the teeth to help patients visualize their final smile. We also rely on great communication and careful listening so we can create a treatment plan that meets the patient's goals, lifestyle, and budget.
There are several treatment options available, depending on the needs of the individual. Here are some of the most commonly performed dentistry procedures at our Kansas City practice.

Porcelain Veneers
If you want to conceal cracks, chips, or stains, dental veneers may be the solution. They can also be a great way to improve the appearance of misshaped, gapped, or slightly misaligned teeth. In addition to traditional veneers, we also offer same-day veneers at our dental office. Porcelain veneers cost $1,650 per tooth.

Dental Bonding
Like veneers, bonding can correct a wide range of cosmetic dental issues. However, instead of using dental porcelain, Dr. Goodman will use a tooth-colored, composite resin. Bonding does not require any alteration of your teeth, and the results typically last about five years.

A smile makeover is a customized procedure that combines multiple cosmetic treatments to completely transform your smile. Our dentist will carefully plan your makeover to meet your dental goals. Your input is essential, and we will ask you to describe the smile you wish to achieve in great detail.
