What Is Cosmetic Dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry is centered on enhancing the look of your teeth, gums, and smile as a whole. While the focus is on appearance, many cosmetic treatments deliver meaningful oral health benefits as well. Whether your goal is a brighter shade, straighter alignment, or the restoration of a chipped or worn tooth, our practice offers a range of options designed to give you a smile you are proud to share.
Dr. Cariappa is the only accreditation candidate for the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry in Rhode Island, the most respected and rigorous cosmetic dentistry certification in the world.
Benefits of Cosmetic Dentistry

Procedures used alone or in combination to create beautiful smiles include:
Invisalign®
Correct crowding, spacing, and alignment issues using clear, removable trays that fit comfortably into your daily routine.
Porcelain Veneers
Thin, custom-made shells bonded to the front of your teeth can address chips, deep discoloration, gaps, and uneven shapes in a single treatment plan.
Cosmetic Bonding
A versatile, same-day solution that uses tooth-colored composite resin to repair small chips, cracks, or areas of discoloration.
Cosmetic Services May Also Include:
- Dental Crowns: A custom crown restores a damaged or weakened tooth to its full strength while matching the appearance of the teeth around it.
- Dental Bridges: When a tooth is missing, a bridge fills the space to restore both your smile's appearance and your ability to chew comfortable.
- Dental Implants: For patients dealing with tooth loss, implants offer a permanent, natural-looking replacement that also protects the health of the underlying jawbone.
Are You a Good Candidate for Cosmetic Dentistry?
If you are unhappy with any aspect of your smile's appearance, or if you have minor functional concerns you would like to address, cosmetic dentistry may be a great fit. The best candidates generally have a foundation of healthy teeth and gums and are ready to maintain their results with consistent oral care at home.
