"At Colorado Cosmetic Dentistry, we have but one goal, and that's to give you the beautiful, natural smile you've always wanted." - Ron VanWechel, DDS
About Cosmetic Dentistry
Is there really a difference between a traditional dentist and a cosmetic dentist? To patients who thought their smile could never be improved, the difference is often as stark as night and day.
What is Cosmetic Dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry might best be described as the practice of comprehensive dentistry. A cosmetic dentist looks at all interacting components of a patient's teeth, gums, mouth and jaw and strives to make them all come together in the most attractive and natural manner. Rather than administer to a patient's individual tooth, the cosmetic dentist instead concentrates on the overall effect of that patient's smile. Part artist and part technician, the cosmetic dentist sees the potential for form and beauty in a smile and employs knowledge, skill and state-of-the-art technical expertise to transform that potential beauty into reality.

Do you need a cosmetic
dentist?
Have you ever wanted to change your smile? If the thought has occasionally crossed your mind when you looked in the mirror, a consultation with a cosmetic dentist might be just the thing for you. Because most dental practices focus only on what you need at the time of your appointment, you're not likely to hear a traditional dentist ask you if there's something about your smile you'd like to change. The cosmetic dentist will ask. And the cosmetic dentist will listen and take notes as you describe the smile you've always wanted. More importantly, the cosmetic dentist will bring to your particular case skills and techniques that are only taught in the most advanced courses in dentistry. The cosmetic dentist's knowledge and skills are vastly superior.
Technical Artistry
Cosmetic dentists are, without exception, progressive and innovative in their practices, seeking out every new tool and technique to help them do an even better job. When you walk into the office, you see a significant investment in leading edge equipment that immediately separates the cosmetic dentist's practice from the norm. An intra-oral camera will be used during your examination. More natural looking, non-metal crowns may be suggested to eliminate the ugly dark band at your gum line. A new air abrasion technique with tooth colored fillings might be used so you won't need a shot of Novocain. Rather than simply match the existing color of your teeth, perhaps a power teeth whitening process may be suggested before selecting the color for your new crown. It's a combination of the newest technology--and the eye of an artist who sees you wearing the smile of your dreams.
