Serving Westchester of Hillsborough & Surrounding Communities
The smile you show the world should feel like yours, yet a chipped front tooth, a stubborn gap, or years of coffee stains can make you hold it back. Many people put off cosmetic care because they assume it means long drives, several referrals, and a lot of guesswork.
At Designing Smiles, our team provides cosmetic dentistry for Westchester of Hillsborough patients from our office in Westchase Commons. Dr. Ryan Rose and Dr. Angela Hilton-Foley guide each treatment plan, and we keep your care under one roof so your results stay consistent from your first exam to your final touch-up.
According to the American Dental Association, veneers can improve teeth that are chipped, stained, crooked, or misshapen, and they cover only the front surface of a tooth. The ADA also points out the treatment is not reversible because some enamel is removed, and any decay or gum disease must be treated first. For that reason, we begin with a careful exam before we talk about shades and shapes. Our veneers are planned around your goals, your bite, and the health of the teeth underneath.
Veneers work best as part of a bigger plan, and a bigger plan starts with a clear picture of the finished smile. Our smile design process looks at how your teeth, gums, and lips work together, so a change to one tooth does not clash with the rest. Some patients need only a few teeth refreshed, while others prefer a full smile makeover that may combine veneers, whitening, and alignment. We walk you through each option and its tradeoffs, and you decide what feels right.
Our goal is a result that looks natural in conversation and in photos, so your smile still looks like you, only more polished and more confident. We also explain how to care for veneers at home, including brushing, flossing, and protecting them from habits such as chewing on hard objects.
Veneers are one path to a more even smile, and they are not always the first one we suggest. Depending on what you see in the mirror, our team may recommend one of these treatments instead of veneers or alongside them:
Every plan starts with a conversation about what bothers you most and what you hope to change. If a treatment is not the right fit for your teeth, we will tell you and talk through better choices, because honest recommendations are part of how we care for patients. You should never feel pushed toward more treatment than you want.
Your first appointment is a conversation as much as an exam. We look at your teeth and gums, review your health history, and ask what you would change about your smile if you could. Digital X-rays help us see what is happening beneath the surface, which matters because healthy teeth make the best foundation for any cosmetic work.
From there, we explain which treatments may fit your goals, how many visits each one may take, and what daily care looks like afterward. You are welcome to take your time and ask questions at every step. Our team wants you to feel confident about your plan, whether you choose a single small improvement or a complete change, and we are happy to revisit it as your goals evolve.
Cosmetic work goes more smoothly when your dentist already knows your history. As a locally owned practice, we care for patients of all ages, so parents, teens, and grandparents can often see us for dental cleanings and cosmetic care at the same office. Your results get checked during routine visits, which helps us catch small problems before they affect your new smile.
If dental visits make you nervous, we also offer oral and nitrous sedation dentistry to help you feel more at ease. Coverage for cosmetic treatment varies by plan, so our team will review your benefits with you and explain your options before you commit to anything. Our team also keeps your family dentistry visits simple, with records and recommendations in one place for everyone in your household.
