Which Cosmetic Treatment Fits Your Goal?
Most people come in knowing what bothers them, not which treatment fixes it. Start with your goal. Dr. K will confirm the best fit at your consultation.
If you want to… | Options we’ll usually look at first |
|---|---|
Brighten yellow or stained teeth | Professional teeth whitening |
Fix a small chip or uneven edge | Cosmetic bonding |
Close a small gap | Bonding, or Invisalign if teeth need to move |
Straighten crowded or crooked teeth | Invisalign clear aligners |
Change the shape, size and color of several teeth | No-prep or porcelain veneers |
Transform your whole smile | A smile makeover that combines treatments |
Cosmetic Bonding uses tooth-colored composite resin, shaped and polished by hand, to repair chips, close small gaps and even out edges. It’s usually done in one visit with little or no change to your natural tooth, which makes it a good first step for small fixes.
Invisalign®straightens teeth with a series of clear, removable aligners.
Straightening first can mean fewer veneers, or none at all, and it can make bonding and whitening results look even better.
Neer veneers are custom-made shells bonded to the front of your teeth with no drilling, filing, or enamel removal, completing your new smile in just two visits.
No-prep veneers are ultra-thin shells bonded directly to your teeth without shaving enamel, making them one of the most conservative and reversible cosmetic options available.
Porcelain veneers are thin, custom shells bonded to the front of your teeth to change their shape, size and color.
Traditional porcelain veneers usually need a thin layer removed, so they’re a permanent choice, and Dr. K will tell you honestly if a more conservative option would work.
Professional teeth whitening lifts stains from coffee, tea, wine and time in a single office visit, or at home with custom trays.
It works on natural enamel only, so crowns, bonding and veneers won’t change color.
If you’re planning veneers or bonding, we usually whiten first so new work matches your brightest shade.

Smile Makeovers in Newport Beach
A smile makeover combines two or more treatments into one plan. A common path is Invisalign to line up the teeth, whitening to set the shade, then bonding or veneers to refine shape and size. Planning it as a whole means each step sets up the next, and you avoid paying for work you don’t need.
Dr. K designs your makeover around your face, lip line, gums and bite, not a catalog of “perfect” teeth. The goal is a smile that looks natural in person, in photos and up close, the way people in Newport Beach and Corona del Mar tend to want it.

Your Cosmetic Consultation, Step by Step
- Talk about your goals. Tell Dr. K what you’d like to change and what you want to keep. Bring photos of smiles you like, if you have them.
- Exam, photos and digital scans. We check your teeth, gums and bite, and take photos and scans to plan with.
- See your options. Dr. K explains which treatments fit, what each involves and how long it takes.
- Get a written plan and fee. You’ll know the total cost, your insurance and financing options and the timeline before you decide. No pressure to start the same day.
- Treatment and follow-up. Most cosmetic plans are finished in a few visits over 2–6 weeks, with a check-up to fine-tune your bite. Invisalign takes longer.
What our patients say
Great service, Very helpful staff and honest doctor. Would recommend anyone. I even drive all the way from LA to see them. Hard to find a good and honest dentist now days.
RICHARD C
Beautiful office, high-tech equipment, and a fantastic experience! Dr. Joseph Kabaklian is a UCI Bio grad just like me, and his expertise really shows. If you want a modern, state-of-the-art dental visit, this is the place to go!
Tony Crisp
I have been going to Dr Kabaklian since the very beginning. Maybe 10 years now. No matter if I move out of the city or get new insurance, I will always stick with him. He is thorough with his work. He makes sure things get done right the first time. If there is a big expense he works with me to make sure our plans coincide with how much I can afford. Trust this dentist. Also...my teeth look amazing.
TIA BEZ
This was the best dentist experience I’ve ever had. Everyone was incredibly kind and knowledgeable, and they took the time to clearly explain the process and reasoning behind everything. I highly recommend them, I came in as a first time patient and will definitely be a lifelong one.
siena ward
… the moment I met him, I felt confident that I had made the right choice. We decided to replace my existing crown and add a veneer to the other front tooth so the two would finally match. Dr. Kabaklian was incredibly patient …
Erin Martin
… Dr. Kabaklian fit me for the perfect shape and he made sure we had an exact color match. I am so happy with my new teeth, he absolutely exceeded my expectations. He is a true artist...

What changes the price
- Treatment type. Whitening and bonding cost far less than veneers or aligners.
- Number of teeth. Most veneer smiles cover the 6–10 teeth that show when you smile.
- Material. Composite costs less up front; porcelain lasts longer and resists stains.
- Prep work. Some plans need whitening, Invisalign or gum contouring first.
Insurance, HSA/FSA and financing
Dental insurance usually doesn’t cover treatment that’s purely cosmetic, but it may help when a tooth also needs repair. We’ll check your benefits for you. You can use HSA or FSA funds for eligible care, and spread the cost into monthly payments with CareCredit, Cherry or Sunbit.

What does a cosmetic dentist do?
What's the difference between a regular dentist and a cosmetic dentist?
Both are general dentists with the same dental degree. A cosmetic dentist has taken extra training in aesthetics and focuses on how your teeth and smile look, using treatments like veneers, bonding and whitening. Cosmetic dentistry isn’t one of the specialties recognized by the American Dental Association. Dr. K is a general dentist with advanced cosmetic training and 14 years in practice, so he can care for your oral health and your smile in one place.
