Why Choose Care 32 Dental of Fort Worth for Cosmetic Dentistry?
- Mess-Free Digital Dental Impression System
- At-Home Teeth Whitening for Beautiful Results
- Stain-Resistant Dental Veneers and Lumineers
Veneers
Made of porcelain and customized for each individual, dental veneers can easily hide imperfections of all kinds, such as cracks, chips, stains, and minor gaps. As a permanent cosmetic dentistry solution, they adhere to the surfaces of teeth once a small bit of enamel is removed. This requires patients to fully commit to the process because of the altering that must occur to natural teeth. Once in place, veneers can last 10+ years, delivering a beautiful and more vibrant appearance.
Learn MoreLumineers
Patients who prefer a non-invasive approach to tooth improvement can opt for Lumineers as opposed to traditional veneers. Requiring no altering of natural teeth, these ultra-thin coverings fit over the visible surfaces of teeth to hide imperfections and improve the look and feel of a person’s smile. With optimal care, these restorations can last several years, but individuals can, at any time, choose to reverse treatment and return to their normal smile.
Metal-Free Dental Restorations
No longer is traditional amalgam required for the creation of customized dental fillings and crowns. Instead, our team uses metal-free dental restorations to repair broken and decayed teeth. Because aesthetics seem to be more important now than ever before, these natural-looking materials (i.e., composite resin, porcelain, ceramic) allow for optimal protection and enhanced appearances.
Direct Bonding
Minor tooth imperfections can be treated with a less invasive solution known as direct bonding. Relying on composite resin, the same material used with tooth-colored fillings, it is matched to the existing shade of tooth enamel and placed over the flaw. Sculpted into place by our skilled cosmetic dentist, it can be completed in just one appointment and last for several years as long as the patient commits to practicing good oral hygiene.
Teeth Whitening
Many patients opt for store-bought teeth whitening kits to brighten their smiles. Unfortunately, the process that is required often leads to extreme tooth sensitivity and lifeless results. With professional teeth whitening from Care 32 Dental of Fort Worth, though, our take-home kits make it easy to achieve a brighter smile in just two weeks. Instead of spending hard-earned dollars on one-size-fits-all solutions, Dr. Desai can equip patients with high-grade products that are safe to use and produce longer-lasting results.

What Cosmetic Dental Service is Right for Me?
That depends on your smile goals and oral needs. We’ll be sure to personalize your treatment so you receive results you’ll love, but generally speaking, here are the types of cosmetic dental services you can consider:
- Teeth whitening – our take-home kits are perfect for patients wanting whiter and brighter teeth.
- Direct bonding can conceal minor cosmetic flaws with no dental prep-work by using the same tooth-colored material we make for fillings.
- Metal-free restorations also involve tooth-colored materials, so your smile won’t have to be interrupted by metal crowns or fillings!
- Veneers can hide multiple flaws at once behind a beautiful porcelain façade.
- Lumineers are like veneers, except that they’re removable and have a thinner profile. We recommend this option for patients worried about permanent cosmetics.
- Smile makeovers are our way of bundling together multiple treatments under one convenient plan and bill. They generally cost more, but what you’ll get is a picture-perfect smile!
Cosmetic Dentistry Can Be an Investment Worth Making
Sometimes we hesitate to make a purchase because we’re not sure if it’s worth the cost. If you’re wondering the same thing about dental cosmetics, think of them more like a long-term investment than a short-lived impulse buy. Many of our treatments will last for years to come when maintained properly; all the while, you’ll be able to enjoy benefits such as:
- Improved confidence
- Proudly showing off your smile
- Making stand-out first impressions
- Better career prospects
- A more youthful appearance
In some cases, cosmetic dentistry can even improve your oral health and wellness!

Does Cosmetic Dentistry Hurt?
Dental anxiety is incredibly common and can lower a patient’s desire for any dental procedure, even cosmetic ones. Rest assured, cosmetic treatments at Care 32 Dental of Fort Worth are all minimally invasive and comfortable. This means that they don’t require heavy alteration of the surrounding tooth or gum tissues. For some treatments, like teeth whitening and dental bonding, you may not even require anesthetics! Dr. Krunal Desai and Dr. Heliben Desai know that many patients are nervous about dental work and will make sure to communicate with you openly and honestly about your treatment. So, if you need any accommodations to reduce your anxiety, just ask our team.
Is Cosmetic Dentistry Worth It?
It may help to think about your treatment as an investment. Your smile is more than something to look at; it’s a window that others look through to see you in many ways. In the professional world, people with attractive smiles tend to be viewed as more confident, capable, friendly, and successful. In social situations, you may often find yourself withdrawn or guarded because of the state of your teeth. Cosmetic dentistry could help you live out loud and be fully engaged with your friends and family. Many patients find these benefits to be worth the cost, but the decision is entirely yours whether you feel the same way.
Why Is Cosmetic Dentistry So Popular?
Cosmetic dentistry has been around even before the Pyramids! However, from then until recently, only the rich could afford such a luxury. Now, cosmetic dentistry is more accessible than ever! Because of this, many people are turning to it to enhance their personal image and self-esteem. In a world where millions interact through social media and other online platforms, your smile is more important than ever. Not only can you turn more heads with perfect selfies, but employers and customers alike are drawn to great smiles.
What’s the Difference Between a Crown and a Veneer?
Although dental crowns and veneers use virtually the same materials to enhance your smile, they are not the same. Here are the differences:
Dental Crowns
- Are used to treat severely decayed or damaged teeth.
- Require a damaged tooth to be reshaped into a “post” for it to sit on.
- Envelop the entire tooth in porcelain to protect it from further damage.
- May be partially covered by dental insurance.
Veneers
- Are cosmetic treatments that cover up dental imperfections.
- Require each treated tooth to have a thin layer of enamel removed.
- Are thin porcelain “shells” bonded to the front of the tooth.
- Are rarely covered by dental insurance.
