It starts with a plan, not a sales pitch
The magic of a cosmetic consultation is the roadmap. We look at your whole smile — color, shape, alignment and gum health — and recommend the combination that reaches your goals comfortably and within budget. Sometimes that’s simply whitening; sometimes it’s aligners first, then a couple of veneers to finish.
Natural results you’ll feel confident in
Done well, cosmetic dentistry looks like your best natural smile — matched to your face, not a row of identical “fake” teeth. We can preview changes with you before any permanent treatment, and flexible financing keeps a bigger makeover manageable.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What does a cosmetic dentist do?
A cosmetic dentist improves the appearance of your smile — its color, shape, alignment, and proportions — using treatments like teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, tooth-colored crowns and bonding, and clear aligners. At Rio Hondo Dental we combine these into a personalized plan rather than a one-size-fits-all fix.
How much does a smile makeover cost?
It depends entirely on which treatments you choose — whitening is the most affordable, while veneers or full makeovers are a larger investment. We build the plan around your goals and budget, offer financing, and accept most PPO and HMO plans plus Denti-Cal and Medi-Cal for any restorative work involved.
What is the difference between veneers and bonding?
Bonding uses tooth-colored resin shaped directly onto the tooth in a single visit — great for small chips and gaps at a lower cost. Veneers are thin custom porcelain shells made in a lab; they cost more but resist stains, last longer, and can transform multiple teeth dramatically.
Will my cosmetic results look natural?
That is our priority. We match the color, shape, and size of any restoration to your face and your natural teeth so the result looks like your best smile, not an obvious "fake" one. We can preview changes with you before committing to permanent treatment.
How long do cosmetic dental treatments last?
It varies by treatment: whitening lasts months to a couple of years with touch-ups, bonding several years, and porcelain veneers or crowns often a decade or more with good care. Daily hygiene and regular checkups help your results last as long as possible.
