Veneers
When multiple cosmetic imperfections interfere with the appearance of your healthy front teeth, porcelain veneers give your smile the chance for a do-over. These thin wafers of dental porcelain cover up any number of cosmetic flaws for a dramatically improved smile. Dental veneers are also highly customizable, so we can help you achieve the precise look you have always dreamed of. Completed in two visits to Evergreen Dental Group, veneers can last for many years with proper care.

Lumineers
Lumineers are similar to porcelain veneers in the fact that they are thin, durable shells that fit over the visible surface of teeth to conceal a variety of cosmetic flaws. The primary difference is that Lumineers are even thinner, which means that little to no preparation of your natural teeth is required for this treatment, while achieving similar results. This is a great option for patients who are looking for less permanent improvements.
Metal-Free Restorations
In the past, the only option to restore damaged teeth was with metal restorations that were highly noticeable. At Evergreen Dental Group, we offer customized ceramic and porcelain crowns and tooth-colored fillings that offer years of protection without jeopardizing the appearance of your smile. These materials are also gentler on your oral tissues, reducing the impact of irritation and other side-effects that can be caused by metal restorations, such as tooth discoloration.
Direct Bonding
One of the most cost-effective cosmetic treatments that we offer to repair broken or chipped teeth is direct bonding. Using a putty-like composite resin that we customize to match the shade of your natural tooth enamel, we’re able to sculpt the missing portion of your damaged teeth to complete your smile. With daily care and maintenance, the bonding can last for between three to seven years, allowing you to smile with pride.
Teeth Whitening
We can erase the signs of age from dingy, discolored teeth with professional teeth whitening. Unlike what you can pick up at the pharmacy, a custom-fitted, professional-strength Opalescence treatment reveals safe, effective results — and your dentist can make special considerations for reducing sensitivity as needed. However, intrinsic stains are more difficult to reach, which is why you need more powerful bleaching agents you can’t get outside of a dental office. Results can last for many years with appropriate lifestyle changes and occasional touch-ups.

Botox
Botox is a well-researched and widely used injectable treatment that relaxes overactive muscles, offering both cosmetic and therapeutic benefits. It effectively reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and signs of aging while also alleviating discomfort caused by muscle tension, headaches, tooth pain, and teeth grinding (bruxism). Common cosmetic applications include smoothing forehead lines, crow’s feet, and lip wrinkles, while therapeutic uses focus on relieving TMJ-related pain, clenching, and migraines. When administered by trained professionals, Botox provides a safe and effective way to enhance both appearance and overall well-being.

Gum Recontouring/ Crown Lengthening
Using our soft tissue laser, we’re able to painlessly reshape your gumline, remedying disproportionately gummy smiles. As we adjust the appearance of your gums to reveal more of your teeth, the laser will immediately cauterize the area, reducing bleeding, eliminating the need for sutures, and drastically cutting your healing time. Using this non-invasive technique, we’re able to help you feel more confident in your smile by letting more of your pearly whites show.
Digital Imaging
It may not be easy to imagine what your smile will look like after any given cosmetic treatment — but using the latest technology, the Evergreen Dental Group team can actually provide a very close approximation of how your results will transform your smile with digital imaging. It’s a preview of your future dazzling teeth and gums, achieved with advanced software that applies the proposed changes to a digital image of your smile.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between veneers and Lumineers?
Both veneers and Lumineers are thin shells that cover the front surface of teeth to conceal cosmetic flaws like stains, chips, gaps, or minor misalignment. The main difference is thickness. Traditional porcelain veneers require some enamel removal for proper placement, while Lumineers are ultra-thin and typically require little to no enamel preparation. This makes Lumineers a more conservative, reversible option, though traditional veneers often offer more dramatic transformations.
How long does professional teeth whitening last?
With proper care, results from professional Opalescence teeth whitening can last anywhere from several months to a few years. Lifestyle factors like coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco use significantly affect how long your results last. To extend your whitening, we recommend using your take-home kit for occasional touch-ups, limiting staining foods and beverages, and maintaining excellent oral hygiene at home.
Is professional teeth whitening better than over-the-counter options?
Yes. Professional whitening at Evergreen Dental Group uses higher-concentration bleaching agents that aren't available in drugstore products, delivering faster, more dramatic, and longer-lasting results. We also customize the treatment to address sensitivity concerns and target intrinsic stains that over-the-counter products simply can't reach. The result is a brighter, more even smile with significantly less risk of irritation.
What is direct bonding, and how long does it last?
Direct bonding is a quick, affordable cosmetic treatment that uses tooth-colored composite resin to repair chips, cracks, gaps, and minor cosmetic flaws. The resin is shaped, hardened with a curing light, and polished to blend seamlessly with your natural tooth. With proper care, bonding typically lasts three to seven years before needing a touch-up, making it an excellent option for patients seeking budget-friendly cosmetic improvements.
Are veneers permanent?
Traditional porcelain veneers are considered a permanent treatment because a small amount of enamel must be removed to place them. Once removed, that enamel cannot grow back, so your teeth will always need to be covered by veneers or another restoration. Lumineers, on the other hand, are a more conservative option that typically requires little to no enamel removal, making them potentially reversible.
How do I know which cosmetic treatment is right for me?
The best way to determine the right treatment is to schedule a cosmetic consultation at our Evergreen, CO office. During your visit, we'll evaluate your smile, discuss your goals, review your budget, and use digital imaging to help you visualize potential results. Whether you need a single touch-up like teeth whitening or a complete smile makeover with veneers, we'll recommend the treatments that best fit your needs.
Are metal-free restorations as strong as traditional metal ones?
Yes. Modern ceramic and porcelain restorations are exceptionally strong, durable, and long-lasting, often matching or exceeding the lifespan of traditional metal restorations. They also bond directly to your tooth for added strength, blend seamlessly with your natural enamel, and eliminate concerns about metal sensitivity or the gray discoloration that metal restorations can cause over time.
