Cosmetic Dentistry in Woodhaven, MI

You Deserve a Smile You’re Proud Of

You deserve a smile you feel proud to show, and a dental team with the skill and range to actually deliver it.

At Brownstown Dental Care, cosmetic dentistry and restorative excellence go hand in hand. Dr. Ben Hanson’s background in complex full-arch restoration means his team doesn’t just make teeth look better, they make them function correctly, look natural, and last. That clinical foundation gives our cosmetic work a depth that strictly cosmetic-focused practices often lack.

Whether you’re interested in a subtle whitening treatment, a single veneer to correct one tooth, or a complete smile makeover that transforms your entire appearance, we have the services and the expertise to help you get there. Most cosmetic treatment is available entirely in-house, without referral to a separate cosmetic practice.

Our Cosmetic Dental Services

Porcelain Veneers

Ultra-thin porcelain shells bonded permanently to the front surfaces of teeth to change their color, shape, size, or alignment. Veneers are the single most transformative cosmetic dental treatment available, the choice for patients who want a dramatic, lasting change to the overall look of their smile. Results are long-lasting, highly customizable, and natural in appearance. The color, translucency, and contour of each veneer are matched precisely to your facial features and smile goals.

Smile Makeover

A smile makeover is a personalized treatment plan that combines multiple cosmetic procedures to achieve a comprehensive transformation. Where individual treatments address single concerns, a smile makeover addresses everything at once, color, shape, spacing, proportion, gumline, and overall aesthetics, in a coordinated plan. Dr. Hanson’s restorative background gives him a natural advantage in designing smile makeovers that are both beautiful and structurally sound. A beautiful smile that doesn’t function properly isn’t a success.

Teeth Whitening

Professional teeth whitening produces results that over-the-counter products simply cannot match. We offer ZOOM® in-office whitening, which uses a professional-strength bleaching agent activated by a specialized light source to brighten teeth by multiple shades in a single visit. Take-home whitening trays using custom-fitted impressions of your teeth are also available for patients who prefer gradual results at home. Both options use professional-grade bleaching agents that are far more effective than anything available at a drugstore.

Invisalign

Invisalign clear aligners straighten teeth using a series of custom-made, nearly invisible plastic trays that are swapped out every one to two weeks as treatment progresses. They’re removable for eating and brushing, making oral hygiene significantly easier than with traditional braces, and they’re barely noticeable during treatment. Invisalign is effective for most mild to moderate alignment issues, crowding, spacing, overbite, underbite, and crossbite, and treatment times are often comparable to traditional orthodontics.

Dental Bonding

Composite resin bonding is one of the most versatile and cost-effective cosmetic treatments available. The same material used in tooth-colored fillings is sculpted directly onto a tooth to repair chips, fill gaps, improve shape, or cover minor discoloration, all in a single appointment, without anesthesia in most cases. Results are excellent for the right candidate, and the procedure is reversible. Bonding is often the first recommendation for isolated cosmetic concerns before committing to more extensive treatment.

Soft Tissue Recontouring

If your smile appears “gummy” or your gumline is uneven, soft tissue recontouring, sometimes called a gum lift or gingival contouring, reshapes excess gum tissue to reveal more of the tooth surface and create a more balanced, symmetrical gumline. The procedure is precise, fast-healing, and often a component of a broader smile makeover plan. It can make a dramatic difference in smile proportions without touching the teeth themselves.

Dental Crowns for Cosmetic Restoration

When a tooth has significant structural damage or existing restorations that affect its appearance, a porcelain crown can restore both function and aesthetics simultaneously. Modern all-porcelain and porcelain-fused-to-zirconia crowns are virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth. Crowns are particularly useful in cosmetic plans that involve heavily restored, damaged, or discolored teeth that veneers alone wouldn’t adequately address.

How to Choose the Right Cosmetic Treatment

The right cosmetic treatment depends on exactly what you want to change and how significant that change needs to be. Not every cosmetic concern requires the same level of intervention, and not every patient is the right candidate for every treatment.

Some general guidance: if you’re bothered primarily by tooth color, whitening is the first logical step, it’s non-invasive, fast, and effective for staining from food, beverages, and aging. If whitening doesn’t get you where you want to be, veneers offer permanent color change plus the ability to alter shape. If you have a chip, gap, or minor irregularity on a single tooth, bonding is often the most efficient and affordable fix. If you want a comprehensive transformation across the whole smile, a makeover consultation is the right place to start.

The best way to understand your options is through a consultation. We’ll evaluate your current dental health, discuss exactly what you’d like to improve, and explain the treatments that are best suited to your goals, honestly, without pressure.
