How to Choose the Right Dentist for Cosmetic & Comprehensive Dental Care
When it comes to tattoos, no two are alike. You’ve surely seen photos of similar tattoos – but a fierce tiger created by an amateur just won’t stack up to a skilled artisan’s depiction. Cosmetic and reconstructive dentistry work in a very similar way! When a patient is looking to freshen up their smile and rebuild broken/missing teeth, it’s important to choose a professional you can trust to create excellent results. Here are some important guidelines that can help you in your search!
What Should You Keep in Mind When Choosing a Cosmetic Dentist?
- Are they committed to continuing education? Dentists are required to take continuing education courses on a yearly basis – but for some, it’s a chore, and for others, it’s a passion! You want to find a dentist who truly cares about lifelong learning and is willing to take extra time and money to invest in advanced education focused on quality cosmetic and reconstructive care.
- What materials are they using and what labs are they working with? There are varying types of cosmetic materials and all kinds of different levels of labs and technicians that can handle your case.
- Will they take the time to answer questions and explain benefits/potential complications? While some cosmetic and reconstructive treatments can be reversed, others are essentially permanent and will need lifelong maintenance. It’s critical that you feel comfortable with your treatment decisions and understand what the long-term results look like beforehand.
- Do you and the dentist have a clear picture of the expected outcome? You want to start any treatment plan with an extremely defined end in mind, as well as realistic expectations. Nobody wants to go through an entire procedure and then discover an unpleasant surprise they weren’t expecting. You deserve a beautiful, long-lasting, and healthy smile!
Why The Dentists at Orenco Station in Hillsboro are the Right Choice
After reading the above, your next question is probably: does YOUR dental practice meet the following expectations? And the answer is: absolutely!
- Our dentists are committed to lifelong continuing education. We have spent the last decade working through a comprehensive core, workshop-based series with SPEAR Education. They are the leader in premier cosmetic and reconstructive dental education. We love attending courses and participating in interactive workshops/seminars with them every single year!
- We are committed to providing each patient with only the quality of dental care we’d accept in our own mouths. We hand-select every material and every lab used to create dental restorations. This is one of the biggest reasons that we don’t contract with most dental insurance companies! Having to agree to arbitrarily set fees impacts our ability to use the best resources available.
- We give patients plenty of quality time that is 100% individualized. Every new patient gets a full hour of our time just for the initial exam. We want to hear ALL of your concerns and make sure we address them properly. If someone has more involved treatment needs, we will often even plan a second consultation at NO additional cost, continuing the conversation and providing through explanations and options.
- We always start our design processes by looking at the whole face! It’s critical for our team to figure out how exactly the teeth fit into a unique person’s face for optimum health, esthetics, and overall function. Then, we work hard to create results that will look beautiful and feel natural while remaining 100% customized to their preferred esthetics. Once we have determined this information, we work backwards to figure out the steps to achieve this! This may involve the use of photos, physical models, or even temporary versions of smile designs before we even START the process.
Veneers
Concealing smile imperfections can be easy thanks to custom-made veneers. Viewed as a permanent cosmetic dentistry solution, they are versatile in their ability to hide chips, cracks, and even stained or gapped teeth. As thin sheaths commonly made from porcelain or ceramic, veneers are bonded to the front surfaces of teeth to create a more uniform smile that can last a decade or longer.

When damaged or weakened teeth are a problem, we want to make sure that we improve the state of your oral health first and foremost. But using traditional amalgam doesn’t have to be the answer. Instead, our cosmetic dentists offer metal-free restorations to not only reconstruct your smile but also present a balanced and blended appearance. From natural-looking crowns to biocompatible fillings, no one will ever know you received dental work.
Direct Bonding
Minor smile flaws require treatment if you want to keep small chips and cracks from worsening. But instead of turning to more invasive forms of treatment, direct bonding is an effective way to remedy the problem and avoid high out-of-pocket costs. Using composite resin that is shaded to match your tooth enamel, we will apply it to the tooth’s surface and sculpt it into place. After a final polish, your tooth will look brand-new.
SureSmile Clear Aligners
Instead of relying on traditional metal braces, our team can realign your smile using SureSmile Clear Aligners. Similar to other clear aligner systems, these work to shift your teeth into proper alignment much quicker than regular brackets and wires. They also offer a more flexible orthodontic solution, allowing you to eat the foods you love and maintain a healthier smile as you work toward predictable, life-changing results.

Teeth Whitening
A brighter smile can easily be achieved with the help of professional teeth whitening. At The Dentists at Orenco Station, we provide in-office and take-home whitening to best suit your individual needs. We offer a custom tray system here in-office with different strengths of bleaching solution for sensitive teeth. We also work with KOR Whitening; their family of products can help maximize improvement, especially for patients who have developmental staining or a particularly dark base shade to their teeth!

Smile Makeovers
When drafting a personalized treatment plan, it can often be difficult to focus on one form of treatment, especially when multiple imperfections need to be addressed. With a smile makeover, though, our cosmetic dentists can bring together two or more services into one cohesive plan, allowing for a seamless approach as we transform your smile into a beautiful work of art.
