What Can Cosmetic Dentistry Do for You?
Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of your smile while considering the health, function, and natural characteristics of your teeth.
Depending on your individual needs, cosmetic dental treatments may help:
Brighten Your Smile: Reduce staining and discoloration with professional teeth whitening.
Straighten Your Teeth: Improve crowding, spacing, and certain alignment concerns with Invisalign® clear aligners.
Repair Chips and Cracks: Improve the appearance of teeth affected by minor damage or wear.
Improve Tooth Shape and Size: Create a more balanced, harmonious appearance.
Close Unwanted Gaps: Explore treatment options for spaces between teeth.
Replace Missing Teeth: Restore the appearance and function of your smile through appropriate restorative options.
Update Older Dental Work: Replace worn or aging restorations with natural-looking alternatives when clinically appropriate.
Enhance Your Gumline: In select cases, laser dentistry may help reshape gum tissue to improve the balance of your smile.
Our goal is not to create a smile that looks artificial or overly perfect. It's to help you achieve results that complement your natural features.
Invisalign® Clear Aligners
A Straighter Smile Without Traditional Braces
Invisalign offers a discreet approach to straightening teeth using a series of custom-made, removable clear aligners.
Designed to gradually move teeth into their planned positions, Invisalign aligners allow you to remove them for meals, brushing, and flossing.
Invisalign may help address:
Crowded or crooked teeth
Gaps and spacing between teeth
Certain bite alignment concerns
Mild to moderate orthodontic problems
Dr. Wendover evaluates each patient's oral health, alignment, and treatment goals to determine whether Invisalign is an appropriate option.

Professional Teeth Whitening
A Brighter Smile, Personalized for You
Over time, teeth can become stained or discolored from coffee, tea, certain foods, tobacco, and the natural aging process.
Professional teeth whitening offers an option for patients looking to refresh their smiles.
Dr. Wendover offers professional whitening options, including GLO whitening, with recommendations based on your dental health, sensitivity, and desired results.
Because whitening treatments do not change the color of crowns, fillings, or other restorations, we evaluate your existing dental work when discussing treatment options.
Explore our Professional Teeth Whitening page to learn more.
Cosmetic Restorations & Smile Enhancements
Restoring Beauty and Function
Cosmetic improvements aren't always achieved through whitening or orthodontic treatment.
For patients with chipped, worn, damaged, or missing teeth, restorative dentistry may also improve the appearance of their smiles.
Depending on your needs, options may include tooth-colored fillings, ceramic crowns, and other individualized restorative treatments.
With advanced digital technology, including CEREC same-day crowns, Dr. Wendover can provide natural-looking restorations designed to support both appearance and function.
Every recommendation begins with an evaluation of your oral health, existing dental work, and personal goals.

Advanced Laser Dentistry for Smile Enhancements
Precision Technology. Personalized Treatment.
Modern laser technology can offer additional options for certain cosmetic dental procedures.
Using the Solea laser, Dr. Wendover can perform selected soft-tissue treatments, including gum contouring when appropriate, to help improve the appearance and balance of a patient's smile.
Depending on the procedure, laser dentistry may offer precise treatment, reduced bleeding, and less discomfort for some patients.
Not every patient or procedure is suited for laser treatment. Dr. Wendover will discuss whether it is appropriate for your individual needs.

Beyond Your Smile: Facial Aesthetics
Enhancing Your Confidence, Naturally
A beautiful smile is only one part of your overall appearance. Your lips, skin, and surrounding facial features can also influence how you feel about your smile.
In addition to cosmetic dentistry, Dr. Wendover offers facial aesthetic treatments designed to complement your natural features.
Options may include:
BOTOX® and Xeomin®: Neuromodulator treatments that temporarily soften the appearance of certain facial lines and wrinkles.
Dermal Fillers: Injectable treatments used to enhance facial contours and address selected areas of volume loss.
Laser Facial Treatments: Technology-based treatments for selected skin concerns.
Laser Hair Removal: Treatments designed for long-term hair reduction.
Aesthetic Gum Enhancement: Selected approaches to improving the appearance of spaces or black triangles between teeth, when clinically appropriate.
Please note: Some facial aesthetic treatments are available exclusively at our Fly Creek Dental location. Our team can help you determine which services are available in Utica and which require an appointment in Fly Creek.
Our philosophy is to enhance your natural features rather than change what makes you unique.
