Cosmetic Dentistry 101: Which Treatment is Right for Your New Year's Smile?

As 2025 comes to a close, you might be thinking about your plans for 2026. If you set New Year’s resolutions, you could be goal-setting right now. 

Even if you don’t usually make resolutions, turning over a new year presents an opportunity to think about where you could improve your life. If your mind is concerned with cosmetics, we can help. 

Here at Miracle Smile Dental in Aubrey, Texas, Nisha Modi, DMD, and our team offer a range of treatments to improve your smile. We specialize in cosmetic dentistry, which means we have several channels to consider based on your individual aesthetic goals. 

Let’s explore your cosmetic dentistry options to help you head into 2026 looking and feeling your best.

Teeth whitening

Brightening your smile can make you look younger and more vibrant. Whether you have a specific stain that’s bothering you or want to refresh your overall appearance, our teeth whitening delivers. Dr. Modi can apply this treatment to make your teeth up to eight shades brighter. 

Veneers

Are you bothered by a chipped tooth or a gap between teeth? Perhaps you have short teeth, or wish their shape were consistent. Dr. Modi can use veneers to address the issue, no matter what has happened to your teeth.

Dr. Modi creates the veneer out of resin or porcelain. Then, she bonds the thin shell to the front of your teeth so people see that rather than the cosmetic concern underneath. 

Tooth restoration

Alternatively, we can use a crown or tooth bonding and contouring to correct a chipped, badly stained, or otherwise problematic tooth.

With a crown, Dr. Modi places a protective outer shell on the tooth. We color and shape it to precisely match your surrounding teeth. 

With tooth bonding and contouring, Dr. Modi uses specialized materials to fill in chips, cracks, or other tooth issues. 

Dr. Modi also offers tooth-colored fillings. 

With all these options, we can help restore any individual tooth that’s bothering you. 

Tooth replacement

Discuss with our team about replacing a missing tooth if a gap in your smile prevents you from feeling your most confident. Dr. Modi offers both dental implants and bridges. We can help you find the best option for your cosmetic goals, lifestyle, and budget. 

Braces or Invisalign®

Do crowded, crooked, or otherwise misaligned teeth keep you from loving your smile? Dr. Modi provides orthodontic care at our office. 

She may be able to correct your misalignment without using brackets and an archwire. With Invisalign®, she uses clear plastic aligners to move your teeth into their desired positions. 

Smile makeover

If multiple items from this list sounded appealing, come talk to our team about a smile makeover. We can personalize a treatment plan to address whatever you don’t love about your teeth now. This way, you can head into 2026 beaming.
