How Cosmetic Dentistry Can Improve Your Life
The Possibilities Are Endless
Renewed Sense of Confidence
Your teeth play a huge part in how you feel about yourself. Even the smallest flaws can significantly impact your self-esteem and make you hide behind a close-mouthed smile. Cosmetic dentistry ignites your confidence and helps you feel great inside and out with as little as one procedure.
Increased Opportunities
Did you know that people with nice teeth are regarded as more attractive, healthier, and even more successful, leading to more career and relationship opportunities in life? Make your first impressions count with a luminous smile your personality can shine through.
Improved Oral Health
In some cases, cosmetic dentistry can improve your oral health while also enhancing aesthetics. For example, dental crowns protect teeth from damage and decay, and orthodontics can correct an improper bite and even relieve painful TMJ symptoms.

State-of-the-Art Technology
For Stunning Smiles
Our Albuquerque, NM, cosmetic dentist, Dr. Kelly, is committed to investing in the latest dental technology that allows us to provide top-of-the-line results. Here’s just a few of the ways our practice provides patients with state-of-the-art dental care:
Hands-Free Fabrication
Our partner lab fabricates many of our dental crowns and other restorations digitally, removing the potential for human error. This also means a swift turnaround: your permanent restoration will be ready in just five to seven days. Technician-crafted restorations typically take up to three weeks.
No Messy Impressions
We use an iTero® 3D scanner to capture detailed digital impressions of your mouth in seconds. This means there’s no need for messy putty impressions that are uncomfortable and leave a bad taste in your mouth.
Precise Planning
We use cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) to create digital X-rays of your teeth, jaw, and facial structure. This allows Dr. Kelly to precisely plan advanced procedures, such as the location, angle, and position for dental implant placement.
Nervous about the Dentist?
We Offer Sedation Options
Are you excited about the prospect of a new smile, but hesitant because of a fear of the dentist? Dental anxiety is extremely common and something we often see at our Albuquerque, NM, dental office. We strive to provide a calm, stress-free environment for all of our patients by offering sedation dentistry to ease any nerves you may have so you can get the dental care your need.
Request an AppointmentNitrous Oxide
Nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, is administered through a mask and induces a relaxed, euphoric state. Once the procedure is over and the mask is removed, all effects wear off, and you’ll be able to drive home on your own.
Oral Conscious Sedation
Oral conscious sedation consists of taking medication before the procedure. Patients feel drowsy and relaxed and may have trouble remembering their procedure. A friend or loved one is required to drive the patient home.
Candidates for Cosmetic Treatments
During your initial consultation at our Albuquerque, NM, practice, your cosmetic dentist will examine your mouth and discuss your goals to determine if you are a candidate for cosmetic treatment. Good candidates for cosmetic treatment include patients who:
Are In Good Oral Health
If you have existing tooth decay or gum disease, this must be addressed before cosmetic treatment can be performed.
Have Cosmetic Concerns
If your concerns involve your oral health or function, restorative or general dentistry treatments may be a better option for you.
Ready to Invest in Their Smile
Cosmetic treatment is an investment and often not covered by dental insurance. Patients must be ready to invest in their smile.
Find the Perfect Procedure For You
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers can hide small chips and cracks, internal discoloration, inconsistent shaping, and slight misalignment issues, creating an appearance of symmetry and health. You could be astounded by the tremendous difference just one or two veneers can make in the overall appearance of your smile. Our veneers cost $1,200 to $1,500 per tooth.
Request an Appointment
Teeth Whitening
A number of factors can cause your teeth to become stained. Genetics, the aging process, and various foods and beverages can diminish the brightness of your smile. We offer both in-office and at-home whitening treatments that can eliminate these stains and accentuate everything you love about your smile.
Request an Appointment
Smile Makeover
Our cosmetic dentist can combine several cosmetic and restorative treatments to give you a bright, symmetrical smile that rejuvenates your entire appearance. In some cases, this approach can be incorporated into TMJ disorder treatment, giving you a smile that looks as good as it feels.
Request an Appointment
Dental Crowns
A dental crown is an effective solution for a missing, damaged, or decayed tooth. Through advanced dental technology, these restorations are stronger and more natural-looking than ever before. All-porcelain crowns can also be used to provide you with a more balanced smile. Many patients at our Albuquerque, New Mexico, office choose dental implants and crowns to treat missing teeth.
Request an Appointment
Braces
Dr. Kelly has a deep understanding of the jaw compared to the typical dentist. He takes into account the entire mouth and joint system for orthodontics to help patients achieve a straighter smile and correct an improper bite or misalignment. His goal is to achieve lasting results that continue even after the braces are removed, showing his commitment to providing the highest level of dental care.
Request an Appointment
Invisalign
Invisalign is a special orthodontic treatment that uses clear, removable aligners instead of metal wires and brackets. This simplified route to a straight, healthy smile allows you to enjoy any and all foods, and you can continue to use your usual brushing and flossing techniques to keep your smile clean. If you have mild to moderate misalignment, you may be a candidate for Invisalign, which is designed to fit your lifestyle with the utmost comfort.

Dermal Fillers and BOTOX Cosmetic
Say Goodbye to Wrinkles and Fine Lines
We most often use injectables to relieve the symptoms of bruxism and TMJ disorders. However, BOTOX Cosmetic® and dermal fillers can also help make wrinkles and lines disappear.
With special training in esthetic dentistry, Dr. Kelly can utilize these two treatments either individually or in a strategic combination to help you look your best. Combining injectables with cosmetic dental work such as whitening or veneers can enhance your appearance even more.
Injections can be completed in less than 15 minutes, making them a quick and easy way to rejuvenate your appearance. Our highly trained dentist has a thorough understanding of facial structure and anatomy, so you can expect beautiful results.
