Professional Teeth Whitening
Everyday factors like coffee, wine, tobacco, aging, and genetics can leave your smile looking yellow, dull, and discolored. Our professional Zoom Whitening treatment can make your smile up to 8 shades lighter in about an hour, eliminating deep stains that over-the-counter products can’t touch.
The Eccella Whitening Experience:
- Complete shade analysis to document your transformation
- Professional-strength whitening agents for maximum results
- Special light activation for deeper penetration
- Desensitizing treatment to ensure comfort
- Take-home maintenance kit for lasting results
Most patients see dramatic results in just one office visit, with results that can last 1-2 years with proper maintenance.
Porcelain Veneers
These ultra-thin, durable porcelain shells are individually designed to cover the front surface of your teeth, instantly correcting multiple cosmetic concerns:
At Eccella Smiles, Dr. Sox uses premium feldspathic porcelain that mimics natural tooth enamel’s light-reflecting properties, creating results so natural that even dentists have trouble spotting them. Each veneer is custom-crafted in our partner lab using digital impressions for exceptional precision. For patient guidance on veneers, the American Dental Association provides helpful resources on what to expect from the process.
Our Veneer Process:
Most patients complete treatment in just 2-3 visits over 2-3 weeks, enjoying results that can last 15+ years with proper care. We stand behind our veneers with our 5-year satisfaction guarantee.
Smile Makeovers
If your smile is affected by multiple issues like stains, chips, cracks, decay, or missing teeth, a smile makeover combines several treatments into one customized plan to completely revitalize your appearance.
Dr. Sox begins each smile makeover with a comprehensive aesthetic evaluation, analyzing your facial proportions, skin tone, lip line, and other factors to design a smile that looks naturally beautiful and complements your unique features.
Smile Makeover May Include:
Each smile makeover is completely customized, with treatment typically completed in 2-6 visits over 1-3 months, depending on complexity.
Invisalign Clear Aligners
Invisalign clear aligners offer a discreet, comfortable way to straighten your teeth without the metal brackets and wires of traditional braces. These custom-made, virtually invisible aligners gradually shift your teeth into their ideal position, addressing concerns such as crooked or misaligned teeth, gaps between teeth, overcrowding, overbites and underbites, and crossbites and open bites.
At Eccella Smiles, Dr. Sox is a certified Invisalign provider with extensive experience designing successful treatment plans. Using advanced 3D imaging, we can show you a preview of your expected results before treatment even begins.
The Invisalign Experience:
Most patients complete their Invisalign treatment in 12-18 months, achieving a beautifully straight smile that enhances both aesthetics and function.
Dental Bonding
Dental bonding is a versatile, conservative treatment that can address a variety of cosmetic concerns in just one visit. Using tooth-colored composite resin carefully matched to your natural teeth, Dr. Sox can correct all of the following:
The Dental Bonding Process:
Dental bonding is typically completed in 30-60 minutes per tooth, with immediately visible results that can last 5-7 years with proper care.

Benefits of Cosmetic Dentistry Beyond Aesthetics
Cosmetic dentistry isn’t just about achieving a beautiful smile – it also delivers significant benefits for your oral health and overall well-being.
Improved Oral Health
Many cosmetic treatments do more than enhance appearance—they restore protective tooth structure and function. Treatments like veneers protect weakened enamel, while Invisalign makes daily oral hygiene more effective by properly aligning teeth. These improvements reduce your risk of decay, gum disease, and future dental problems.
Enhanced Bite and Functionality
Misaligned teeth or bite issues can lead to chronic discomfort, uneven wear, and jaw pain. Our cosmetic treatments correct these underlying functional problems, improving:
- More efficient, comfortable chewing
- Clearer speech
- Reduced jaw muscle strain
- Balanced bite forces
- Prevention of abnormal wear patterns
Boosted Self-Confidence
Your smile is often the first feature people notice, impacting both personal and professional interactions. Patients consistently report that their cosmetic dental treatments have helped them:
- Feel more confident in social situations
- Smile more freely in photos
- Make positive first impressions
- Appear more approachable and friendly
- Feel more comfortable in professional settings
Prevention of Future Dental Problems
Cosmetic dentistry can be proactive, addressing small imperfections before they develop into major concerns. For instance:
- Replacing missing teeth prevents bone loss and shifting
- Restoring worn teeth prevents further breakdown
- Correcting bite issues prevents abnormal wear
- Repairing chips prevents further fractures
- Closing gaps prevents food trapping and decay
Improved Emotional Well-Being
Studies show that smiling more frequently—even when you don’t initially feel happy—can actually improve your mood by releasing endorphins. After cosmetic dental treatment, patients report:
- Smiling more often
- Reduced social anxiety
- Improved social connections
- Greater overall happiness
- Higher self-esteem

Frequently Asked Questions About Cosmetic Dentistry
Is cosmetic dentistry covered by insurance?
Most dental insurance plans focus on covering procedures that are medically necessary rather than purely aesthetic. However, some cosmetic procedures may receive partial coverage if they also provide functional benefits. For example, crowns that restore damaged teeth may receive partial coverage, while procedures like whitening typically do not.
At Eccella Smiles, we offer flexible financing options through CareCredit and in-house payment plans to help make your dream smile affordable. We’re happy to verify your insurance benefits and explain all financial options during your consultation.
How long do cosmetic dental treatments last?
The longevity of cosmetic dental treatments varies based on the procedure and your oral care routine:
- Professional teeth whitening: 1-2 years with proper maintenance
- Porcelain veneers: 15+ years
- Dental bonding: 5-7 years
- Crowns: 10-15 years
- Invisalign results: Permanent with proper retainer use
- Gum contouring: Permanent
During your consultation, we’ll discuss the expected lifespan of your specific treatments and provide guidance on how to maximize their longevity.
Is a cosmetic dentist different than a regular dentist?
While all dentists receive training in aesthetic principles, a cosmetic dentist focuses specifically on the appearance of your smile, dedicating significant time to advanced training in aesthetic procedures.
Dr. Sox has pursued extensive additional education in cosmetic techniques beyond standard dental training, allowing her to provide exceptional aesthetic results while maintaining the health and function of your teeth.
Will my cosmetic dental work look natural?
Absolutely! Creating natural-looking results is our highest priority. Dr. Sox carefully analyzes your facial features, skin tone, and existing teeth to create restorations that blend seamlessly. We use premium materials that mimic natural tooth characteristics like translucency and light reflection, and our digital planning ensures predictable, beautiful results.
Many patients tell us that even their close friends and family can’t tell they’ve had cosmetic dental work—they just notice a more beautiful smile.
How do I choose the right cosmetic dentist?
When choosing a cosmetic dentist, consider:
- Training and credentials in cosmetic procedures
- Before-and-after photos of actual patients
- Patient reviews and testimonials
- The technology and materials used
- Your comfort level with the dentist and team
We encourage you to schedule a consultation to meet Dr. Sox and discuss your smile goals. This will give you the opportunity to ask questions, see examples of our work, and determine if Eccella Smiles is the right fit for your cosmetic dental needs.
Every smile is unique, and so are your aesthetic goals. Dr. Shelby Sox takes the time to understand your specific concerns and vision for your smile. We believe cosmetic dentistry should enhance your natural beauty while improving your oral health and function, not simply follow a one-size-fits-all approach.
