Cosmetic Dentistry
Beautiful smiles crafted with precision and artistry by Dr. Priyanka Chaturvedi — Endodontist & Aesthetic Dentist.
What Is Cosmetic Dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry encompasses a range of dental procedures designed to improve the appearance of your teeth, gums, and bite. While general dentistry focuses on oral hygiene and preventing dental disease, cosmetic dentistry is primarily concerned with aesthetics — the color, position, shape, size, alignment, and overall smile appearance.
However, cosmetic dentistry is not just about beauty. Many cosmetic procedures also improve function and oral health. A chipped tooth isn’t just unsightly — it can collect bacteria and lead to decay. Misaligned teeth don’t just look uneven — they can cause bite problems and jaw pain. That’s why every cosmetic treatment at The Crown is planned with both aesthetics and function in mind.
At The Crown, our cosmetic dentistry services include porcelain veneers, composite laminates, professional teeth whitening, composite bonding, tooth-colored fillings, cosmetic contouring, gum depigmentation, and comprehensive smile design. Each procedure is personally performed by Dr. Priyanka Chaturvedi, whose MDS specialization in Endodontics & Aesthetic Dentistry ensures that every smile transformation combines artistic vision with clinical precision.
Cosmetic Treatments
Eight specialized procedures to transform every aspect of your smile — from color to shape to alignment.
Porcelain Veneers
Ultra-thin custom shells bonded to the front of teeth to correct color, shape, and size. Crafted from premium ceramic for a natural translucent appearance. Lifespan of 10–15 years with proper care.
10-15 Year LifespanComposite Veneers / Laminates
Tooth-colored resin applied directly to teeth in a single visit. Less expensive than porcelain and ideal for minor corrections. Typically lasts 5–7 years with good maintenance.
Same-Day TreatmentProfessional Teeth Whitening
In-office bleaching that brightens teeth by 2–6 shades in a single visit. Uses safe, professional-grade whitening gel that doesn’t damage enamel. Results visible immediately after the session.
2-6 Shades BrighterComposite Bonding
Repairs chips, gaps, and minor fractures using tooth-colored resin. No tooth reduction required — the resin is applied directly. Completed in a single visit with immediate results.
No Tooth ReductionTooth-Colored Fillings
Replace old metal amalgam fillings with natural-looking composite resin. Mercury-free, BPA-safe, and matched precisely to your tooth color. Provides a seamless, invisible restoration.
Mercury-FreeCosmetic Contouring
Reshaping teeth by gently filing enamel (enameloplasty) to improve length, shape, and alignment. Instant improvement with no anesthesia needed. Often combined with bonding for optimal results.
Instant ImprovementGum Depigmentation
Removes dark melanin pigmentation from gums to reveal healthy, pink gum tissue. Uses advanced laser or surgical technique. Results in a uniform, aesthetically pleasing gum line.
Pink Healthy GumsSmile Design
Comprehensive aesthetic planning that combines multiple procedures for a complete smile transformation. Includes digital preview so you can see your new smile before treatment begins.
Digital PreviewIs It Right for You?
Cosmetic dentistry can address a wide range of aesthetic concerns. Here’s when to consider treatment and what causes these issues.
Cosmetic Dentistry Can Help With
- Stained or discolored teeth that don’t respond to brushing
- Chipped, cracked, or broken teeth
- Gaps between teeth (diastema)
- Uneven tooth length or misshapen teeth
- Dark or pigmented gums
- Old, visible metal fillings
- Asymmetrical smile or uneven gum line
- Desire for a complete smile makeover
Why Teeth Lose Their Beauty
- 1 Aging — Enamel naturally thins with age, revealing yellow dentin underneath
- 2 Diet — Coffee, tea, red wine, and smoking stain enamel over time
- 3 Medication — Certain drugs cause intrinsic tooth discoloration
- 4 Genetics — Some people naturally have thinner or darker enamel
- 5 Trauma — Injury can crack, chip, or discolor teeth
- 6 Grinding — Bruxism wears down and shortens teeth
- 7 Poor hygiene — Plaque and tartar buildup discolor teeth
- 8 Fluoride exposure — Excessive fluoride causes fluorosis (brown spots)

Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs
Answers to the most common questions about cosmetic dental procedures.
Porcelain veneers are considered a permanent treatment because a thin layer of enamel is removed during preparation. Once placed, veneers typically last 10–15 years before needing replacement. Composite veneers are less permanent and can be replaced more easily.
No. Professional teeth whitening at The Crown uses safe, clinical-grade whitening gel that does not damage enamel. Some patients experience temporary sensitivity for 24–48 hours, but this resolves on its own. Our whitening formula is designed to be gentle yet effective.
Professional teeth whitening typically lasts 1–3 years, depending on your lifestyle. Avoiding staining foods (coffee, tea, red wine, smoking) extends results. Regular touch-up treatments and good oral hygiene help maintain your brighter shade longer.
Composite veneers are an excellent option for many patients. They’re less expensive, completed in one visit, and require no tooth reduction. However, porcelain veneers are more durable (10–15 years vs. 5–7 years), more stain-resistant, and more translucent. The best choice depends on your budget and goals.
Yes, composite bonding can stain over time, especially from coffee, tea, red wine, and smoking. To maintain bonding, avoid staining foods for 48 hours after placement and practice good oral hygiene. Bonding can be polished every 1–2 years to restore its appearance.
Most cosmetic procedures are completely painless. Teeth whitening may cause mild sensitivity. Veneer preparation uses local anesthesia. Bonding and contouring typically require no anesthesia at all. At The Crown, our painless dentistry protocol ensures your comfort throughout.
Porcelain veneers start from ₹8,000 per tooth. Composite veneers are more affordable at ₹3,000+ per tooth. The total cost depends on the number of teeth treated and complexity. EMI options are available. Visit our pricing page for full details.
Yes! We routinely replace old metal amalgam fillings with tooth-colored composite fillings. The process is safe and the results are natural-looking. Mercury-free fillings are better for your health and look completely seamless. This can be done in a single visit.
Gum depigmentation is a cosmetic procedure that removes dark melanin pigmentation from gums, revealing healthy pink gum tissue. It uses advanced laser or surgical technique. The treatment is quick, typically taking 30–60 minutes, and results in a uniform, aesthetically pleasing gum line.
Maintain cosmetic work with regular brushing (non-abrasive toothpaste), daily flossing, and 6-monthly professional cleanings. Avoid biting hard objects, limit staining foods, and wear a night guard if you grind teeth. Following these tips will extend the life of your cosmetic investment significantly.
