Cosmetic Services Available Near East Brainerd

The Jenkins Rd office offers the full cosmetic dentistry menu. The right option depends on what bothers you, how visible the issue is, and how long you want results to last. Each consultation begins with a conversation, not a sales pitch.

Porcelain Veneers

Thin shells of porcelain bonded to the front of your teeth. Change shape, length, color, and alignment in one coordinated plan. Most cases take two to three visits. Porcelain veneers commonly last 10 to 15 years with good home care. Dr. Peterson has placed thousands of veneers across 21 years.

Professional Teeth Whitening

In-office whitening lifts stains from coffee, tea, red wine, smoking, and age in one same-day appointment. Take-home tray whitening over two to three weeks is also available. Results usually last 12 to 24 months before a touch-up is helpful.

Cosmetic Bonding

Tooth-colored composite resin used to repair chips, smooth uneven edges, close small gaps, and cover stains. Most cases are finished in one appointment. The most conservative cosmetic option and a good fit for limited single-tooth or two-tooth issues.

Smile Makeovers

Combines two or more cosmetic procedures into one plan. East Brainerd families often combine whitening with front-tooth bonding for cost-conscious results, or pair veneers on the upper six teeth with periodontal contouring for a more transformative outcome.

Dental Crowns and Bridges

A porcelain crown on a damaged tooth produces a cosmetic result and often has restorative insurance coverage. A bridge replaces a missing tooth by anchoring to the teeth on either side. Both are custom-fabricated and color-matched.

How a Cosmetic Consultation Works

The first appointment is a conversation. You tell us what bothers you. We take photos and updated x-rays if needed. Dr. Peterson examines your teeth and gums, talks through the options that match what you want, and gives you a written plan with cost ranges before you leave.

You take the plan home and decide. No pressure calls. When you are ready, we schedule the next visit.

Insurance, Financing, and New Patient Specials

We file in-network with most major PPO insurance plans at the Jenkins Rd office. Elective cosmetic work is usually not covered. Restorative procedures with a cosmetic result (such as a porcelain crown on a cracked tooth) often have insurance coverage. We verify your specific plan benefits before the consultation so you know your out-of-pocket cost in advance.

For patients without dental insurance, the $125 new patient exam and x-rays and the $199 new patient exam, x-rays, and healthy mouth cleaning are first-visit specials available at the Jenkins Rd office. Both are first-visit-only and cannot be combined with insurance.

For larger cosmetic cases, we accept CareCredit financing with six- and 12-month no-interest options on qualifying balances.

FAQ Section

How close is Peterson Family Dentistry to East Brainerd?

The Jenkins Rd Chattanooga office sits inside the East Brainerd corridor at 3328 Jenkins Rd, Suite 100. Most East Brainerd patients reach the office in 5 to 10 minutes. The Hamilton Place mall area, Standifer Gap, and the East Brainerd Rd commercial corridor are all within a short drive.

What cosmetic services are available at the Jenkins Rd office?

Porcelain veneers, professional in-office teeth whitening, cosmetic bonding, smile makeovers, dental crowns and bridges, and clear aligner orthodontics. Dr. David Peterson has placed thousands of veneers over 21 years and completed hundreds of whitening treatments.

Can a porcelain veneer be done in one visit?

A traditional porcelain veneer case takes two or three visits because the porcelain is custom-made in a dental lab to match your existing teeth. Composite bonding veneers can usually be completed in one visit but last about 5 to 7 years versus 10 to 15 for porcelain. The first consultation explains which option fits your case and timeline.

Are there evening or Saturday appointments?

The office is open Monday through Thursday 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM and Friday 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM. The latest weekday slot is 4:00 PM. There are no Saturday appointments at this time. East Brainerd patients with weekday workplace schedules often book the 8:00 AM or Friday morning slots.

What does a smile makeover cost?

Smile makeover pricing depends on which procedures are combined. A typical case might pair whitening with composite bonding on the front teeth, or pair veneers on the upper six teeth with periodontal contouring. The consultation gives you an itemized treatment plan with exact pricing before any work begins. We accept CareCredit for cases that need financing.

Will my insurance cover cosmetic work?

Purely cosmetic procedures like elective whitening and elective veneers are usually not covered. Restorative procedures with a cosmetic outcome (a porcelain crown on a damaged tooth, for example) often have restorative insurance coverage. We file in-network with most major PPO plans and verify your specific benefits before the consultation.
