Four ways to transform a smile

A healthy smile is a real achievement — but for many patients it isn’t the finish line. These are the treatments we reach for most, each matched to a different goal.

Porcelain veneers

Thin, customized layers of dental porcelain placed over existing teeth — erasing misalignments, stained fillings, chips, and wear in one conservative treatment. Explore veneers.

All-ceramic & zirconia crowns

Natural-looking, biocompatible crowns that cover damage and rebuild tooth structure. Zirconia — the strongest tooth-colored crown material — handles tight spaces and high-stress bridge areas.

Invisalign clear aligners

Smooth, custom plastic trays gently move teeth into place. Remove them at mealtime, swap sets about every two weeks, and nobody notices until your smile changes. See how aligners work.

Teeth whitening

Choose take-home bleaching kits for whitening on your schedule, or in-office whitening that can deliver dramatic results in under one hour.

Cosmetic dentistry questions, answered

What is cosmetic dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the overall appearance of your mouth, teeth, and smile. Treatments are typically elective and range from the relatively simple, like teeth whitening, to more complex care such as implants that require specialized expertise.

How is it different from general dental care?

General care keeps your mouth healthy; cosmetic care refines how your smile looks — erasing stains, closing gaps, or covering structural damage. Dr. Forbes describes it as both an art and a science, and many patients pursue both together.

Which cosmetic treatments does The Smile Bar offer?

Porcelain veneers, all-ceramic and zirconia crowns, Invisalign clear aligners, and professional teeth whitening — available as take-home kits or in-office whitening that can yield dramatic results in under one hour.

What if I have several cosmetic concerns at once?

That’s a common starting point, and often where veneers shine: thin, customized layers of dental porcelain that address misalignments, stained fillings, chips, and general wear in one conservative treatment.

How do I know which option is right for me?

You don’t have to know — that’s what the consultation is for. Dr. Forbes combines current technology with a thorough understanding of dental anatomy to match the treatment to your goals, your teeth, and your timeline.
