Cosmetic Dental Services at Rebol Family Dentistry
Dr. Christopher Rebol is a cosmetic dentist in Asheville, NC, with decades of experience. He helps our patients achieve their dream smiles by providing cosmetic services. We offer the following cosmetic dental treatments.
Invisalign
Straightening crooked teeth is easier than ever with Invisalign, a discreet alternative to traditional braces. Shaped similarly to retainers, the clear plastic aligners gradually encourage your teeth to shift into a straighter position. Invisalign is great for correcting mild to moderate orthodontic issues. It offers patients many benefits that they would otherwise have to wait for from other orthodontic solutions.
Benefits include no dietary restrictions or added steps to keep your mouth healthy. You can remove your aligners to eat, brush, and floss. To learn about how we can help you straighten your teeth with clear aligners, see Invisalign.
Teeth Whitening
As we age, common foods and beverages stain and dull our mouths. While this is normal and natural, we know that stained and yellow teeth can cause self-esteem issues. Our office proudly offers ZOOM Teeth Whitening to help remove years of stains and discoloration from your teeth. We offer in-office appointments and at-home whitening kits to interested patients.
To learn about our whitening services, see Teeth whitening.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are like custom-made shells that cover just the front part of your teeth. We design them specially for your smile to fix problems with your front teeth while keeping the rest of your natural tooth intact. This means your teeth still work normally.
These thin porcelain covers can fix all sorts of common cosmetic problems. Got teeth that are stained and won’t whiten? Teeth that are chipped or not quite the right shape? Veneers can give you back the smile you want. To learn about our dental veneer treatments, visit Porcelain veneers.
Dental Bonding
Minor dental blemishes like chips, stains, and gaps have a large impact on the overall look of your mouth. To help with this, Dr. Rebol offers dental bonding. Teeth bonding is a fast and affordable cosmetic treatment. Using a tooth-colored resin material, we can conceal minor blemishes in just one appointment.

Why Cosmetic Dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry focuses on the aesthetics of your smile. We want to give you nice and even teeth that you’re proud to show off. But don’t make the mistake of thinking that these services are only about looks.
Underlying oral health issues often cause many of the cosmetic dental concerns people worry about. We will treat those root causes first to improve your oral health and fix the cosmetic effects.
Cosmetic Dentistry For Treating Crooked Teeth
Crooked teeth are a good example of a dental health problem that’s causing cosmetic issues. Patients with crooked teeth usually don’t like how they look, so they come to us. However, crooked teeth can create a lot of oral health issues.
For instance, crooked teeth are harder to clean than normal teeth. They crowd and come together at odd angles that can be hard to clean between. Even specialized dental tools won’t be able to reach certain spots. Then, you’re still at risk of tooth decay and gum disease, even if you’re technically doing everything right.
Crooked teeth also create an uneven bite. When your bite comes together, the pressure evenly distributes throughout all your teeth. But when the bite is uneven, certain teeth take on more pressure than others. These teeth wear down faster and are more prone to damage, like chips and cracks. The longer this continues, the more you’ll need restorative services to fix those teeth.
Uneven bites are one of the main causes of TMJ disorders as well. Because your bite isn’t coming together properly, your jaw isn’t tracking properly either. It begins to wear down the joint, causes it to malfunction, and puts strain on the muscles. Pain and tension radiate throughout the jaw, face, head, and neck.
You might experience difficulty biting and chewing or find your jaw stuck in certain positions. Crooked teeth are a cosmetic problem but can have all these oral health implications. When you let our dentists treat the root cause, we will improve your overall oral health and return confidence in your smile.
Smile Makeovers in Asheville, NC
A smile makeover takes cosmetic dentistry to another level. We combine multiple cosmetic services to completely makeover your mouth and return your confidence. Each patient’s situation is different depending on their unique needs. The mission is to whiten and reshape your smile.
As with any of our cosmetic services, we start with a consultation. Dr. Rebol conducts a comprehensive oral exam, evaluates the condition of your oral health, and identifies any issues that need treatment. If you have conditions like cavities or gum disease, we want to treat them before working on the cosmetic goals. We’ll also discuss your cosmetic goals and medical history to create your ideal personalized treatment plan.
We have various digital tools to plan out your dream smile and give you an idea of how it will look. The foundation of your smile comes first. Invisalign corrects crooked teeth, or we refer you to a trusted orthodontist if you need more dental care. If you have missing teeth, we recommend you replace them with dental implants that look and feel the most like real teeth.
We can use many tools to give you the perfect smile. Professional teeth whitening carries many benefits compared to over-the-counter solutions. If your discoloration doesn’t respond to whitening treatment, we have alternatives. For example, porcelain veneers or dental bonding can match any shade of white you desire AND treat cracked and worn-down teeth.

Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs
Cosmetic dentistry can transform your smile. Read the answers to these frequently asked questions to learn more.
Is cosmetic dentistry only about looks, or does it have health benefits too?
Although these treatments primarily focus on aesthetics, many procedures enhance oral health. Straightening misaligned teeth with Invisalign or braces makes cleaning easier and lowers the risk of cavities and gum disease. Dental bonding and veneers can protect weak or damaged teeth from further wear. When done professionally, even teeth whitening can help remove plaque and stains that contribute to decay.
Does insurance cover cosmetic procedures?
Most dental insurance plans don’t cover purely cosmetic procedures like teeth whitening and veneers. However, some treatments that improve function and appearance, such as crowns, bonding, or Invisalign, may be partially covered if deemed medically necessary. It’s best to check with your insurance provider to determine coverage. Many dentists also offer payment plans or financing options for cosmetic treatments.
Are there age restrictions for cosmetic dentistry?
There’s no strict age limits, but some treatments have age recommendations. Invisalign and braces are generally best for patients with fully developed jaws, usually after the teenage years. Teeth whitening isn’t advised for children under 16 because of tooth sensitivity concerns. Adults of any age can benefit from cosmetic treatments as long as they have good oral health.
Can I combine multiple cosmetic treatments?
Yes, many patients choose to combine cosmetic procedures for a complete smile makeover. Teeth whitening, veneers, bonding, and Invisalign can be done together to achieve the best results. A personalized treatment plan allows for efficient scheduling and ensures that all procedures complement each other. We will recommend the best approach based on your aesthetic goals.
Can I get cosmetic dental work if I have gum disease?
If you have gum disease, you must address it before undergoing cosmetic dental procedures. Gum disease can cause inflammation, recession, and instability in the teeth, which can affect treatments like veneers, bonding, or implants. Your dentist may recommend deep cleanings, periodontal treatments, or gum grafting to restore gum health before proceeding with cosmetic work. Once your gums are healthy, you can safely undergo cosmetic procedures to enhance your smile.
How do I know if I’m a good candidate for cosmetic dentistry?
A good candidate for cosmetic dentistry should have healthy teeth and gums. Cosmetic procedures work best on a strong foundation. If you have cavities or gum disease, these issues should be treated before undergoing cosmetic enhancements.
Patients looking to correct discoloration, chips, gaps, misalignment, or uneven gums can benefit from cosmetic procedures. A consultation with Dr. Rebol will determine the best treatment options based on your goals and dental health.
