Discover How We Transform Your Smile
Getting to Know You
Your consultation starts with a friendly conversation with Dr. Hartman or a member of our team. We want to understand your smile goals, concerns, and any specific issues such as discoloration, chips, or gaps. This discussion ensures that every recommendation we make is tailored to your vision, helping us create a plan that reflects your personality and lifestyle.
Thorough Smile Assessment
Next, we conduct a detailed evaluation of your teeth, gums, bite, and jaw alignment. X-rays may be taken when necessary to provide a complete view of your oral health. This step allows us to identify any underlying concerns and ensures that your cosmetic treatments are safe, effective, and long-lasting.
Customized Plan for Your Smile
After assessing your needs, we’ll develop a personalized treatment plan that fits your goals and your lifestyle. Whether you’re interested in teeth whitening, veneers, or porcelain tooth restorations, your plan is designed to enhance both the appearance and function of your smile. Any restorative work needed to support your results is carefully integrated into the plan.
Reviewing Your Options
With your plan in place, we’ll walk you through each recommended procedure. Dr. Hartman will explain how each treatment works, what results you can expect, and the associated costs. We also discuss alternative options so you can make informed decisions that align with both your aesthetic goals and budget.
Next Steps & Scheduling
Finally, we help you schedule your treatments at times that are convenient for you. Our team will provide transparent pricing, insurance details, and financing options if needed. We strive to make the process simple and stress-free so you can focus on enjoying the journey to a healthier, more confident smile.

Our Cosmetic Dentistry Services
Bonding
Dental bonding is a simple and effective way to fix small imperfections in your smile. If you have a chipped, cracked, or discolored tooth, bonding uses a tooth-colored resin to restore its natural look. The material is carefully shaped and hardened so that it blends seamlessly with your teeth. Bonding is quick, often completed in just one visit, and it’s minimally invasive, meaning we preserve as much of your natural tooth as possible. It’s also a great way to close small gaps or reshape uneven teeth without extensive dental work.
Composite Fillings
Composite fillings are an aesthetically pleasing alternative to traditional metal fillings. These tooth-colored fillings restore decayed or damaged teeth while blending naturally with the rest of your smile. Because they bond directly to the tooth, they help strengthen it and require removing less healthy tooth structure. Composite fillings can be carefully shaped and matched to your tooth’s color, giving you a strong, natural-looking result that keeps your smile looking its best.
Veneers
Veneers are a popular solution at Hartman Dentistry for patients looking to transform their smiles. These thin porcelain or composite shells cover the front of your teeth, correcting chips, cracks, discoloration, or uneven spacing. Porcelain veneers look incredibly natural, resist staining, and can last for many years with proper care. Whether you want to improve a single tooth or achieve a complete smile makeover, veneers offer dramatic results that boost confidence.
Porcelain Crowns (Caps)
Porcelain crowns are custom restorations that cover damaged or weakened teeth, restoring both function and appearance. They’re perfect for teeth that have been worn down, cracked, or severely decayed. Crowns protect the underlying tooth while looking completely natural. Made from high-quality porcelain, they blend seamlessly with the rest of your smile and, with proper care, can last for many years.
Porcelain Bridges
If you’re missing one or more teeth, a porcelain fixed bridge can restore your smile and your bite. A bridge uses crowns anchored to your surrounding teeth to hold artificial teeth in place, filling gaps and creating a natural, seamless appearance. Bridges are durable and help maintain the shape of your face while making eating and speaking easier.
Porcelain Inlays and Onlays
Inlays and onlays are ideal for teeth that have moderate damage or decay. Made from durable porcelain, they’re custom-fit to your tooth, restoring strength and function while preserving more of your natural structure than a full crown. Inlays fit within the cusps of the tooth, while onlays cover one or more cusps. They’re long-lasting and blend naturally with your smile.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening is one of the quickest ways to refresh your smile. Over time, teeth can stain from coffee, tea, wine, or simply aging. At Hartman Dentistry, we offer both in-office whitening for fast, dramatic results and take-home whitening trays for gradual whitening at your convenience. In-office treatments can brighten teeth several shades in just one visit, while take-home trays let you whiten at your own pace. Both methods are safe, effective, and noninvasive, giving you a brighter, more confident smile.
Long-Lasting Results You Can Trust
At Hartman Dentistry, we believe your smile should look beautiful for years to come. Whether it’s porcelain veneers, crowns, or professional teeth whitening, we use high-quality materials and techniques that not only enhance your appearance but also protect your teeth. Every treatment is planned with care to ensure that your results last while keeping your smile healthy and strong.
We also guide you on how to maintain your new smile. From routine check-ups to tips for keeping veneers and crowns in top condition, our team helps you protect your investment. With a little care, your smile will stay bright, healthy, and confident for years to come.
Customized Smile Design
Every smile is unique, and we treat it that way at Hartman Dentistry. Dr. Hartman takes the time to understand your goals, examine your teeth and bite, and consider your overall facial features. This lets us create a treatment plan that enhances your natural beauty and gives you a smile that truly fits your personality.
Because everyone’s needs are different, we offer flexibility in designing your smile. We may combine several cosmetic treatments like whitening, veneers, or Invisalign to create a look that feels completely natural. The result is a smile that is balanced, harmonious, and uniquely yours.
Minimally Invasive Cosmetic Solutions
We know that many patients want to improve their smiles without extensive dental work. That is why we focus on minimally invasive treatments whenever possible. Bonding, veneers, and inlays and onlays are designed to preserve your natural teeth while delivering stunning results.
This approach also makes treatments more comfortable and easier to recover from. By being gentle and precise, we help you achieve the smile you have always wanted without unnecessary discomfort, making the process stress-free and enjoyable.
Smile Maintenance And Care
A great smile does not end in the dental chair. It is something you care for every day. At Hartman Dentistry, we provide guidance on keeping your teeth and cosmetic treatments in top shape. This includes tips for brushing, flossing, and routine visits to keep your smile healthy and radiant.
We also make it easy to protect your cosmetic work over time. Simple steps like touch-up whitening or monitoring crowns and veneers can help you extend their life. Our goal is to make sure your smile continues to look its best long after your treatment is done.
Combination Treatments For Natural Beauty
Sometimes the best results come from combining treatments. At Hartman Dentistry, we design comprehensive cosmetic dentistry plans that may include whitening, veneers, crowns, and Invisalign, all tailored to give your smile a complete, natural transformation.
By addressing multiple areas at once, we can enhance your teeth’s appearance while improving their function. Each treatment works together to create a smile that looks beautiful, feels comfortable, and lasts for years, giving you confidence every time you show your teeth.
