Cosmetic Dentistry

There's a saying that when you smile, the world smiles with you, and it's true! Smiles are contagious because the simple act releases feel-good hormones like serotonin and dopamine that improve your mood and the moods of those around you.

Dr. Joshua Wansten is pleased to offer cosmetic dentistry in East Grand Rapids with personalized treatment plans to address whatever you don't love about your smile. 

Why Consider Cosmetic Dentistry?

If you think cosmetic dentistry is all about vanity, consider the last time you were in a video call or important meeting. How confident did you feel sharing your smile? If you found yourself covering your mouth or holding back a laugh because of the appearance of your teeth, imagine how different that interaction might be with a confident smile.

Dr. Wansten’s eye for artistry allows him to create smile transformations that address common smile concerns, such as:

• Chipped, worn, or broken teeth
• Stained, discolored, or yellowed teeth
• Teeth that appear too short or small
• Uneven gaps and spacing between teeth
• Crooked or crowded teeth
• Worn-down teeth from grinding or aging

Everyone has unique smile goals and desires. You may be thinking of something as subtle as teeth whitening. Or, maybe you envision a more complete transformation that combines services to restore your smile’s overall beauty.

Dr. Wansten starts by listening carefully to your concerns. He’ll help you explore all the treatments that can help you achieve your best smile, including conservative, budget-friendly options. At Gaslight Village Family Dentistry, our cosmetic dental services include:

• Professional teeth whitening
• Porcelain veneers
• Dental bonding
• Tooth-colored fillings
• SureSmile® clear aligners
• Porcelain dental crowns
• Full smile makeovers

Your Smile Transformation Process

We start with a thorough exam to check for underlying issues like gum disease or tooth decay that we need to address. Then, using advanced imaging and an artistic eye for smile design, we'll give you a preview of your new smile and walk you through each step of the process. We'll prepare a treatment plan that outlines the steps we'll take, and our team will explain our financing options. 

The most rewarding moment for us is watching a patient's reaction when they see their new smile for the first time and celebrating their transformation.

If you're ready to love your smile again, Dr. Wansten and our team would love to talk to you! Call Gaslight Village Family Dentistry at (616) 454-8228 to schedule your cosmetic dentistry consultation to take the first step.

We are pleased to serve patients throughout East Grand Rapids, Grand Rapids, Ada, and the surrounding West Michigan communities discover the confidence that comes with a truly beautiful smile.
