Cosmetic Dental Services In Aurora
The dental professionals at City of Lights Dental offer a wide range of cosmetic dental services designed to improve the appearance of your teeth. Services include:
Invisalign
Invisalign is a series of clear plastic aligners designed to gradually shift teeth into their appropriate position. This treatment was introduced in the late 1990s as a more comfortable, discreet alternative to traditional metal braces.
Dental Veneers
Dental veneers are thin, tooth-colored shells that are attached to the front of the teeth to address issues such as small gaps, minor misalignment, discoloration, size, and other issues. This treatment is typically used on the upper 6 to 8 front teeth that are most visible when smiling or speaking. Veneers may be made of porcelain or composite resin.
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is designed to remove stains and discoloration, creating a brighter, whiter smile.
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are considered restorative cosmetic. This treatment involves tooth-shaped “caps” that are placed on teeth that are discolored, damaged, or weakened to restore both the appearance and functionality of your smile.
Dental Bridges
Dental bridges are designed to replace one or more missing teeth. This device consists of two dental crowns with pontics, or artificial teeth, in between. The crowns are attached to the natural teeth or dental implants on each side of the gap. Dental bridges also restore the appearance and functionality of your smile.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are another option designed to replace one or more missing teeth. The implant screw is inserted into the jawbone, creating a stable base for the replacement tooth/teeth. A single implant can be used to replace a single tooth or multiple implants can support up to an entire arch.
Problems Cosmetic Dentists Can Solve
The skilled dental professionals at City of Lights Dental have the experience and expertise to solve a variety of dental issues. Some of the most common issues addressed by cosmetic dentistry include:
- Discoloration
- Misalignment
- Chipped or broken teeth
- Gaps or spaces between teeth
- Missing teeth
In some cases, a single procedure can address multiple issues. However, in some cases, multiple procedures may be necessary. This is known as a smile makeover.

Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs
If you have any questions or concerns about cosmetic dental procedures at City of Lights Dental, we will be happy to discuss those with you. Below are some of the most common questions that we hear:
How do I know which cosmetic procedure is best for me?
The right cosmetic procedure depends upon your specific concerns and expectations for treatment. Our team will work with you to perform a comprehensive evaluation including imaging to get a clear picture of the current condition of your smile. Then, we will discuss your expectations and explain your options to help you make your decision.
Are braces considered a part of cosmetic dentistry?
Orthodontic treatments, such as traditional braces and Invisalign clear aligners, may be considered cosmetic treatments. However, usually, these treatments also resolve functionality concerns.
Is cosmetic dentistry safe?
Yes, when performed by qualified dental professionals, cosmetic dental procedures are 100% safe. We believe that patient safety is important, which is why we employ a variety of strict sterilization and infection control standards.
What’s The Difference Between Veneers And Snap-On Smile®?
Dental veneers are custom, tooth-colored shells that are permanently attached to the front of the upper 6 to 8 teeth to improve their appearance. The veneers will need to be replaced after about 20 years or less, depending on care and maintenance, but the procedure is irreversible.
Snap-on Smile ®, on the other hand, is a removable dental device that fits over your natural teeth, temporarily improving the appearance of your smile. We will be glad to work with you to determine the most appropriate option for you.
