Cosmetic dentistry refers to a range of dental treatments designed to enhance the appearance of your teeth, gums, and smile. While these procedures are generally elective, many also improve functionality and support long-term oral health. At Relate Dental Care, cosmetic dentistry is practiced with one goal in mind: to help you feel confident and comfortable with your smile through solutions that preserve your natural teeth whenever possible.
Treatments can range from subtle tweaks to complete smile makeovers. Common cosmetic procedures include teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, tooth-colored fillings, bonding, contouring, and Invisalign®. Dr. Sarmicanic prioritizes minimally invasive techniques and draws on advanced restorative training to maintain tooth structure while creating beautiful, lasting results.
Cosmetic dental treatments offer far more than a better smile. They often lead to improved oral function, increased confidence, and better long-term dental outcomes.
Every smile at Relate Dental Care is enhanced with a focus on health-conscious planning, ensuring that each improvement supports not just how your smile looks, but how it functions day to day. Some of the key benefits include:
- Enhanced appearance: Improve the color, shape, and alignment of your teeth for a more harmonious smile.
- Boost in self-esteem: Many patients feel more confident in professional and social settings after cosmetic enhancements.
- Tooth preservation: Unlike traditional approaches that might quickly recommend extractions, Dr. Sarmicanic uses precise techniques to save and restore your natural teeth.
- Customized results: No two smiles are the same. Every plan is tailored to your facial structure, personality, and health goals.

Cosmetic Dentistry
Lumineers
Lumineers are an even thinner type of veneer, coming in at about 0.2mm. They are about as thick as a contact lens, meaning they are less than half the width of traditional veneers. Lumineers, like traditional veneers, are adhered to the front of your teeth to enhance your smile. They are able to fix imperfections such as discoloration, misshapes, and overall appearance. You may be wondering if they have a similar longevity and durability compared to traditional veneers. The answer is yes, even though Lumineers are extremely thin, they are sturdy and can last up to 10-15 years. Not as long as traditional veneers, but still a good amount of time. Primarily, patients opt for Lumineers because they don’t require the removal of your enamel to be placed. This makes them a great option if you are worried about an irreversible procedure.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Enameloplasty
Enameloplasty is a cosmetic procedure that shapes and contours your teeth to get your desired shape. A pain-free, minimally invasive alternative to veneers, it's a popular cosmetic treatment that can improve the symmetry and aesthetic of your smile.

Frequently Asked Questions
Check out these frequently asked questions, or call us to speak with our team.
Absolutely. While cosmetic treatments are designed to enhance aesthetics, many also contribute to better oral health. Correcting alignment issues with Invisalign® can reduce the risk of decay and gum disease.
Updating worn or metal fillings with tooth-colored restorations can also strengthen tooth structure. At Relate Dental Care, we integrate functional improvements into every cosmetic plan to ensure your smile not only looks better but works better, too.
The longevity of cosmetic dental work depends on the materials used and how well the patient maintains their oral health. For example, professional whitening can last up to a year with proper care, while porcelain veneers can last 10 to 15 years or longer.
At our Culver City practice, we use premium materials that are both durable and natural-looking, and we provide guidance on maintaining your results over time through regular checkups and proper home care.
The cost of cosmetic dentistry varies depending on the type and number of procedures. Simple treatments like teeth whitening can start around a few hundred dollars, while more comprehensive solutions like veneers or smile makeovers may range into the thousands.
At Relate Dental Care, we are committed to making dental care accessible. We offer flexible financing options, including 0% APR payment plans and phased treatment scheduling, so you can plan improvements over time in a way that fits your budget.
You may be a good candidate for cosmetic dentistry if you’re bothered by discoloration, minor chips, uneven spacing, crooked teeth, or old dental work that no longer fits your aesthetic.
During your consultation, Dr. Ramina Sarmicanic takes time to listen to your goals, assess your oral condition, and determine which cosmetic options suit your needs and health best. It’s essential to have healthy teeth and gums before pursuing cosmetic enhancements, so we often begin with addressing any restorative or periodontal concerns.
