Cosmetic Dentistry
Beautiful smile design with the health, comfort, and function of your teeth in mind. Collins Dentistry & Aesthetics helps patients in Spokane and Spokane Valley enhance their smiles with personalized cosmetic dental care.
A Better Smile Should Still Feel Like You
Our Spokane cosmetic dentistry team can help you achieve a beautiful, healthy-looking smile while also caring for the function and well-being of your teeth. Drs. Ken and Marnie Collins combine cosmetic dentistry with bite-focused dental principles so your results are designed to look natural, feel comfortable, and support long-term oral health.
If you are unhappy with your smile, cosmetic treatment may help improve discoloration, worn teeth, gaps, missing teeth, damaged teeth, uneven edges, and alignment concerns.

Cosmetic dentistry is often thought of as purely aesthetic. At Collins Dentistry & Aesthetics, the goal is more complete: a smile that looks beautiful, feels comfortable, supports your bite, and helps protect your oral health.
A Refined Approach To Cosmetic Dental Care
Drs. Ken and Marnie Collins bring decades of clinical experience to smile design. Their continuing education and advanced training help guide customized treatment recommendations for patients who want cosmetic improvements without compromising oral health or function.
Small Changes Or Full Smile Transformations
Cosmetic dentistry can be as simple as whitening your teeth or as comprehensive as redesigning your smile with a combination of services.
Answers Before You Begin
These answers help patients understand cosmetic dental options, timing, insurance, health considerations, and treatment planning.
What can cosmetic dentistry do?
Cosmetic dentistry can improve the color, shape, spacing, alignment, symmetry, and overall appearance of your smile. Depending on your needs, treatment may include whitening, veneers, crowns, implants, Invisalign, bonding, or a combination of services.
Is cosmetic dentistry covered by insurance?
Purely cosmetic treatment is typically not covered by dental insurance. However, if a treatment also restores tooth structure, function, or health, some portion may be eligible for benefits. Coverage varies by plan, so patients should confirm details with their insurance provider.
Is cosmetic dentistry safe?
Cosmetic dentistry is safe when treatment is planned and performed by a licensed dentist after evaluating your teeth, gums, bite, and oral health. At Collins Dentistry & Aesthetics, cosmetic recommendations begin with a healthy foundation.
How long does cosmetic dentistry take?
Timing depends on the procedure. Whitening may be completed quickly, while Invisalign or braces can take months. Veneers, crowns, and implants require more planning and may involve multiple appointments. Your consultation will help determine the right timeline.
Can I get cosmetic dentistry if I have gum disease?
Active gum disease should be treated before cosmetic dentistry. Healthy gums and teeth help protect the longevity and appearance of cosmetic work such as veneers, crowns, implants, and whitening.
Are veneers better than whitening?
Whitening can brighten natural teeth, but it may not fully correct deep discoloration, worn edges, chips, gaps, or misshapen teeth. Veneers may be recommended when a patient wants to change tooth shape, size, or color more comprehensively.
Why does bite function matter in cosmetic dentistry?
Cosmetic treatments such as veneers, crowns, implants, and orthodontics can affect how teeth come together. Bite-focused planning helps improve comfort, protect dental work from unnecessary force, and support longer-lasting results.
