Cosmetic Dental Services We Offer

From a single bright tooth to a complete transformation, here is the full range of aesthetic care available at our Milpitas office. Every plan includes a digital design preview and transparent pricing before we begin.

Teeth Whitening

Professional in-office and custom take-home whitening — up to 10 shades brighter in a single visit, or gradually on your own schedule.

$300 – $700 · Not typically covered by insurance

Porcelain Veneers

Ultra-thin custom ceramic shells that reshape color, form, and alignment at once. Stain-resistant and built to last 15–20 years.

$1,000 – $2,000 per tooth · Financing available

Invisalign

Clear, removable aligners straighten teeth with no metal brackets or wires — virtually invisible and easy to keep clean.

$3,500 – $8,000 · Insurance may contribute

Dental Bonding

Tooth-colored composite resin repairs chips, closes small gaps, and corrects minor discoloration — usually in a single visit.

$200 – $600 per tooth · Most affordable option

Gum Contouring

Laser reshaping of excess or uneven gum tissue reveals more of each tooth and balances a “gummy” smile with minimal recovery.

$600 – $3,000 · Depends on number of teeth

Smile Makeover

Combines several cosmetic and restorative treatments into one coordinated plan for a full, phased transformation.

$5,000 – $80,000+ · Phased payment options
Brighten Your Smile

Teeth Whitening — In-Office & Take-Home

Professional whitening is the fastest, safest way to lighten your smile. For Milpitas patients, we offer in-office power whitening for one-visit results and custom take-home trays for gradual brightening — both use professional-grade gel you cannot buy over the counter.

Fastest

In-Office Power Whitening

Up to 10 shades in one visit
  • One 60–90 minute appointment
  • Professional-strength gel applied to teeth
  • LED light activation accelerates results
  • Fluoride desensitizing treatment included
  • Cost: $400 – $700

Custom Take-Home Trays

On your own schedule
  • Trays custom-molded to your teeth
  • Higher-strength gel than store strips
  • Wear 30–60 min/day for 10–14 days
  • Reusable for future touch-ups
  • Cost: $300 – $500

Professional vs. Over-the-Counter

Why in-office wins
  • Stronger peroxide vs. weak retail gel
  • 5–10 shades vs. 2–3 from strips
  • Custom fit keeps gel off the gums
  • Sensitivity managed with fluoride
  • Lasts 1–3 years with maintenance
Good to know

Crowns, veneers, and tooth-colored fillings do not respond to whitening gel — only natural enamel lightens. If you have restorations on visible front teeth, we will review your options first. Full details are on our teeth whitening page.

Porcelain Veneers

Veneers for a Flawless, Lasting Smile

Veneers are ultra-thin custom ceramic shells (0.3–0.5mm) bonded to the front of your teeth to transform color, shape, size, and alignment in just 2–3 visits — addressing staining, chips, gaps, and minor crowding in one comprehensive treatment at our Milpitas practice.

What Veneers Can Fix

All in one treatment
  • Deep or intrinsic discoloration
  • Chips, cracks, and worn edges
  • Gaps and spaces between teeth
  • Minor crowding or uneven teeth
  • Misshapen or too-small teeth
3 Visits

The Veneer Process

Consult, prep, then bond
  • Smile consultation & digital design preview
  • Conservative enamel preparation
  • Digital impressions & shade selection
  • Temporary veneers for 2–3 weeks
  • Permanent veneers bonded & polished

Veneers vs. Alternatives

Choosing the right path
  • Bonding: minor flaws, reversible
  • Whitening: color only, no shape change
  • Veneers: major change, 15–20 years
  • Crown: severe structural damage
  • Invisalign: true alignment correction
Veneers are permanent

Preparation removes a thin layer of enamel that does not grow back, so once you have veneers you will always need them. That is why choosing an experienced dentist — and approving your digital design before any preparation — matters so much. We never rush this decision. Learn more on our veneers page.

Clear Aligners

Invisalign — Straighten Without Metal Braces

Invisalign uses a series of custom, virtually invisible aligners worn 20–22 hours a day. They are removable for eating, brushing, and special occasions — the preferred choice for Milpitas adults and teens who want straighter teeth without fixed appliances.

What Invisalign Treats

Common bite & spacing issues
  • Crowded, overlapping teeth
  • Gaps and spacing
  • Overbite and underbite
  • Crossbite misalignment
  • Open bite where front teeth don’t meet
Most Popular

Why Patients Choose It

vs. traditional braces
  • Nearly invisible — few people notice
  • Remove for meals, no food restrictions
  • Brush and floss normally
  • Smooth plastic, no wires or sore spots
  • Typical treatment: 6–18 months

The Invisalign Process

From scan to straight smile
  • 3D iTero digital scan — no putty
  • Digital plan previews your final result
  • Custom aligners fabricated
  • Wear each aligner 1–2 weeks
  • Retainers maintain your new smile
Designed digitally first

Because treatment is mapped in 3D, you can see your projected result before you commit. For minor cosmetic misalignment, veneers can sometimes achieve a straighter look in fewer visits — we’ll advise which fits your case. See our Invisalign page for details.

More Ways to Enhance Your Smile

Bonding, Gum Reshaping & Full Makeovers

Sometimes a small, conservative change makes all the difference; other times a coordinated plan delivers a complete transformation. These options round out the aesthetic care available at the practice.

Dental Bonding

The most affordable, conservative option — composite resin is sculpted directly onto the tooth in one visit to fix small chips, narrow gaps, white spots, or slightly misshapen teeth. Often no anesthesia is needed, and you walk out with the result the same day.

$200 – $600 per tooth · Reversible · Single visit

Gum Contouring

A “gummy” smile — where the gum line dominates rather than the teeth — is reshaped with laser precision so teeth appear longer and more symmetrical. Causes include genetics, partial eruption, certain medications, or a high lip line.

$600 – $3,000 · Laser · Minimal recovery

Smile Makeover

When several concerns overlap, a smile makeover coordinates two or more treatments — whitening, veneers, bonding, or alignment — into one phased plan. See before-and-after results in our Smile Gallery.

Technology That Removes the Guesswork

Cosmetic results should never be a surprise, which is why every Milpitas patient sees a preview first. Our investment in digital tools makes every treatment more precise, more predictable, and more comfortable — with a preview of your result before any work begins.

Digital Smile Design. High-resolution photos and imaging let us show your new smile on-screen. Adjust color, shape, and proportions, then approve the final design first.

iTero 3D Scanner. A handheld wand captures a precise scan in minutes — no messy putty. We use it for Invisalign planning, veneer fabrication, and smile design.

Pearl AI Diagnostics. FDA-cleared artificial intelligence reviews every X-ray for hidden cavities, fractures, and margin issues, so structural problems are caught before cosmetic work and your new smile lasts.

Cost & Coverage

Making Your New Smile Affordable

Most purely cosmetic procedures — whitening, veneers, and cosmetic bonding — are not covered by dental insurance. But treatments that are both cosmetic and functional may earn partial coverage: crowns on damaged teeth, bonding to repair a fracture, or Invisalign when medically necessary.

At our Milpitas office we verify your benefits in advance and apply coverage wherever it legitimately exists. For everything that insurance doesn’t cover, flexible financing keeps treatment within reach.

Two Easy Ways to Finance

Cherry — fast, paperless approval with monthly payments and a soft credit check that won’t affect your score.

CareCredit — a healthcare credit line with promotional 0% interest options for qualifying treatment.

Common Questions

Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs

Answers to what Milpitas patients ask most before starting cosmetic treatment. Have another question? Call (408) 946-0777.

What cosmetic dental treatments do you offer in Milpitas?
Signature Smiles provides professional teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, Invisalign clear aligners, dental bonding, gum contouring, and complete smile makeovers — all at 440 E Calaveras Blvd, Milpitas, CA 95035. Free consultations are available; call (408) 946-0777.
Is cosmetic dentistry covered by dental insurance?
Most purely cosmetic procedures — whitening, veneers, and cosmetic bonding — are not covered by insurance. However, treatments that are both cosmetic and functional may receive partial coverage, such as crowns on damaged teeth, bonding to repair a fracture, or Invisalign when medically necessary. We verify your benefits and maximize coverage wherever possible.
How long do cosmetic dental results last?
With proper care, typical lifespans are: porcelain veneers 15–20 years, dental crowns 10–20 years, professional whitening 1–3 years with maintenance, dental bonding 3–7 years, and Invisalign results indefinitely when you wear your retainers as directed.
Can I straighten my teeth without traditional braces?
Yes. Invisalign straightens teeth using clear, removable aligners with no metal brackets or wires. For very minor cosmetic misalignment, porcelain veneers can improve the look of slightly uneven teeth in just 2–3 visits — sometimes called “instant orthodontics.” We’ll advise which option fits your case during a free consultation.
Are cosmetic dental procedures painful?
Most procedures are very comfortable. Whitening may cause mild, temporary sensitivity managed with desensitizing gel. Veneer preparation uses local anesthesia with minimal discomfort, and bonding typically needs no anesthesia. Invisalign causes only light pressure when switching aligners. Any post-procedure discomfort is usually brief and mild.
Will I see my new smile before treatment begins?
Yes. Every plan starts with digital photos and an on-screen smile design preview. You can review color, shape, and proportions, then approve the final design before any treatment is performed — so the result is never a surprise.
How much does cosmetic dentistry cost in Milpitas?
Costs vary by treatment: teeth whitening $300–$700, dental bonding $200–$600 per tooth, porcelain veneers $1,000–$2,000 per tooth, gum contouring $600–$3,000, and Invisalign $3,500–$8,000. We provide transparent pricing up front and offer CareCredit and Cherry financing to spread the cost into monthly payments.
How do I get started with a cosmetic consultation?
Book a free consultation online or call (408) 946-0777. At your visit, Dr. Khera evaluates your teeth and gums, listens to your goals, and creates a personalized plan with a digital preview and clear pricing. New patients can review what to expect on our new patient page first.
