Cosmetic Treatments Available for Burleson Patients
Every smile tells a different story. Here's an honest look at what we offer, what each treatment does best, and who it's right for.
Porcelain Veneers
Custom-made porcelain shells bonded to the front of your teeth. Veneers correct staining, chips, small gaps, uneven edges, and worn enamel — often addressing multiple issues in just a few visits. Porcelain resists staining from coffee and wine and typically lasts 10 to 20 years with proper care.
A thin layer of enamel is removed during preparation, making this a permanent commitment. But for the right candidate, the results speak for themselves.

The benefits of veneers without removing any enamel. Prep-less veneers use ultra-thin, high-strength ceramic bonded directly to the tooth — no drilling, no anesthesia, no irreversible changes. They're not right for every case, but for the right candidate, they deliver dramatic results with the most conservative approach possible.

We use the Opalescence whitening system — available as a high-concentration in-office treatment for immediate results, or as a custom take-home tray system for gradual whitening on your schedule. Both go far beyond anything over-the-counter strips can deliver.
Whitening is often the smartest first step before considering veneers — in many cases, it provides all the improvement a patient needs at a fraction of the cost.

Nearly invisible, removable trays that straighten your teeth over 6 to 18 months. No metal brackets, no food restrictions, no disruption to your routine. We plan every case digitally with iTero scanning so you can preview your final result before treatment begins.

A short-term orthodontic system using clear brackets and tooth-colored wires to straighten the front teeth — the ones that show when you smile and talk. Treatment typically finishes in about six months, making it a faster, more affordable option for adults who want straighter front teeth without full orthodontic work.

A fast, conservative fix for small chips, cracks, or discoloration on individual teeth. Composite resin is shaped directly onto the tooth and hardened in place — typically completed in one visit with no enamel removal. Bonding lasts 4 to 8 years and is a smart choice when one or two teeth need a touch-up and veneers would be more than necessary.
Technology That Makes Cosmetic Care Faster and More Precise
The tools behind cosmetic dentistry matter as much as the hands using them. Our office is equipped with two technologies that Burleson patients consistently tell us changed their experience:
iTero Digital Scanning — Captures a complete 3D model of your mouth at 20 frames per second. No gagging on impression trays, no messy putty. You can preview a simulation of your final smile right at the chair before committing to treatment. Learn more →
CEREC Same-Day Technology — When your cosmetic plan includes a crown or restoration, CEREC lets us design and mill a custom ceramic piece right in the office. No temporary restorations, no second appointment, no waiting weeks for a dental lab. Learn more →
For Burleson patients making the short drive to Keene, this is especially practical — fewer trips means fewer days off work and less time in the chair overall.
Who Is Cosmetic Dentistry Right For?
Cosmetic treatments work best when the foundation is healthy. Here's a quick guide to figuring out where you stand — and what to address first if needed.
You're Likely a Great Fit If
- Your teeth and gums are generally healthy
- Your concerns are primarily cosmetic — color, shape, spacing, chips
- You're looking for a lasting improvement, not a quick patch
- You're open to hearing what will actually work best for your situation
- You understand the maintenance commitment that comes with cosmetic work
We May Recommend Treating First
- ✕ Active gum disease or untreated cavities
- ✕ Heavy grinding or clenching without a night guard
- ✕ Significant bite problems or severe crowding
- ✕ Teeth that need structural repair before cosmetic work
Not sure where you fall? That's exactly what a consultation is for. We'll evaluate your oral health, listen to your goals, and give you an honest assessment — not a sales pitch.

Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs for Burleson Patients
Common questions we hear from patients visiting us from Burleson and the surrounding area.
What's the difference between a general dentist and a cosmetic dentist?
A general dentist focuses on overall oral health and disease prevention — cleanings, fillings, root canals, and exams. A cosmetic dentist specializes in improving the appearance of your smile through treatments like veneers, whitening, bonding, and smile makeovers. At Keene Family Dentistry, we offer both under one roof, which means your cosmetic plan is always built on a foundation of solid oral health.
How far is Keene Family Dentistry from Burleson?
About 10 minutes. Take US-67 South from Burleson to Old Betsy Road — our office is at 428 S. Old Betsy Rd., Suite C, Keene, TX 76059. Most Burleson patients tell us the short drive is well worth it for the technology, the personalized care, and the honest approach.
What happens after 20 years of having veneers?
After 20 years, most veneers will need to be evaluated for replacement. Even with excellent care, the bonding agent can degrade and the underlying tooth may have changed. Your dentist will assess the tooth structure beneath the veneer and determine whether a new set of veneers, a crown, or another option is the best path forward. This is why consistent six-month checkups matter — we catch wear early.
Why do some dentists advise against veneers?
A good dentist will advise against veneers when they're not the right fit — and that's a sign of honesty, not a red flag. Veneers may not be recommended if you have untreated decay, gum disease, insufficient enamel for bonding, or heavy grinding (bruxism). Because the process permanently alters the natural tooth, some dentists prefer more conservative treatments like bonding or whitening when those can achieve the same result.
What are the disadvantages of dental bonding?
Bonding is more affordable and faster than veneers, but it has trade-offs. The composite resin is more porous than porcelain, which means it's more likely to stain over time from coffee, tea, or red wine — and it can't be whitened with traditional bleaching treatments. Bonding also has a shorter lifespan (typically 4 to 8 years) and is more susceptible to chipping under pressure. For small, targeted fixes it's excellent; for a full smile transformation, veneers are more durable.
How do I choose the right cosmetic dentist?
Look for advanced training and credentials beyond a general dentistry degree. Ask to see before-and-after photos of real cases similar to yours. Evaluate the technology in the office — digital smile design, 3D scanning, and intraoral cameras indicate a commitment to precision. Most importantly, schedule a consultation and pay attention to whether the dentist listens to your goals and explains your options honestly, including when a simpler treatment would work just as well.
Can I get veneers if I grind my teeth?
Yes, but with extra protection. Grinding (bruxism) can chip or wear veneers prematurely, so we typically recommend a custom night guard to protect your investment. In some cases, we may suggest stronger materials or alternative treatments depending on the severity of your grinding. We'll evaluate your bite and grinding pattern during the consultation and tell you honestly whether veneers are a smart choice for you.
Does insurance cover cosmetic dentistry?
Most dental insurance plans classify cosmetic treatments like veneers and whitening as elective. However, if a treatment serves both a cosmetic and restorative purpose — for example, a crown that restores a damaged tooth and improves its appearance — insurance may cover part of the cost. We verify your benefits before treatment and offer flexible financing options to make cosmetic care accessible.
