Cosmetic Dentistry · Lafayette, ColoradoA smile that still feels like you.

Cosmetic dentistry starts with the whole picture.

Your teeth are part of an expression: the way you speak, the shape of your lips, and the proportions of your face. Planning should consider those relationships alongside your bite and oral health.

At Rooted, our approach to cosmetic care starts with detailed photography, careful examination, and a conversation about your priorities. The aim is a result that belongs to you.

The right amount of treatment.

A change in color may call for a different approach than a change in shape. Bonding, 3D-printed veneers, porcelain veneers, and other restorations give us different ways to work toward your goals. Sometimes aligning teeth or improving gum health first is the best starting point.

We plan with the end in mind, then choose the most conservative approach that can achieve it. Each tooth gets its own plan, with the amount of preparation guided by the design, the available enamel, and your bite.

• Clarify the specific change you want to make.
• Evaluate health, bite, and existing restorations.
• Compare suitable alternatives, including doing nothing.
• Agree on a written plan before treatment.

Try your smile before you commit.

Detailed photography, an intraoral scan, and 3D design help us create a smile mock-up you can actually try on your teeth. We use 3D printing to bring the design into your mouth, so you can see the proportions, speak, smile, and tell us what you would like to refine.

We can make adjustments together in the chair before any irreversible tooth preparation and before you commit to full treatment. The mock-up visit has a small fee, which is credited toward your total treatment cost if you choose to proceed. We will explain that fee before the visit.

Planning the investment.

We will provide a written estimate before treatment, including the teeth involved, your chosen materials, any preliminary care, and the planned restorations. Our veneer options offer different starting points: 3D-printed veneers at a lower fee, lithium disilicate porcelain in the middle, and hand-layered feldspathic porcelain at the highest fee.

Together, we will weigh appearance, maintenance, your bite, and your budget. Membership and financing arrangements are still being finalized; we will explain the payment options available before you decide. Cosmetic care is often outside dental-benefit coverage, so we will help you understand how your plan may apply.
