Cosmetic Dentistry in Portsmouth, NH
Cosmetic dentistry in Portsmouth, NH is about more than a brighter smile. At Seacoast Prosthodontics, Dr. Randi looks at your whole mouth, bite, and function before recommending any cosmetic change. That means veneers, whitening, and full smile makeovers are planned to work with your teeth, not just cover them up. New patients are always welcome, and our team is glad to walk you through insurance and financing questions before you decide on treatment.

Overview
What Is Cosmetic Dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry covers treatments that improve how your teeth and smile look. That can mean closing small gaps, fixing a chipped tooth, whitening stains, or reshaping teeth that are worn down. Good cosmetic work also respects the way your teeth fit together and function. At Seacoast Prosthodontics, cosmetic changes are planned alongside the rest of your oral health, not treated as a separate, purely aesthetic add-on.
Why Here Benefits of Cosmetic Dentistry at Seacoast Prosthodontics
Cosmetic treatment here starts with a full picture of your mouth: your teeth, gums, jaw joints, and bite all factor into the plan. Dr. Randi's specialist-trained background in prosthodontics means cosmetic work is built on the same precision used for complex restorative and implant cases. Patients can expect:
-
A smile that looks natural, not artificial
-
Restorations designed to hold up under everyday biting and chewing
-
A plan built around your bite and long-term oral health, not a generic template
-
Digital impression technology that supports an accurate, comfortable fit
Options Our Cosmetic Dentistry Services
Seacoast Prosthodontics offers several cosmetic dental procedures for patients in Portsmouth and the surrounding Seacoast area. Each service has its own page with more detail, so you know what to expect before your visit.
Veneers
Veneers are thin shells placed over the front of a tooth to change its shape, color, or size. They're a common way to fix chips, close small gaps, or cover stains that whitening alone can't remove. Learn more about veneers and how each one is custom designed for your smile.
Smile Makeovers
A smile makeover combines two or more cosmetic and restorative treatments into a single, coordinated plan. It's a good option for patients who want to address several concerns at once instead of tackling one tooth at a time. Visit our smile makeovers page to see how a full plan comes together.
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening lightens stains and discoloration for a brighter, more even smile. It's often the simplest place to start, whether on its own or as the first step in a larger smile makeover. Read more about teeth whitening options offered at our Portsmouth office.
Why Choose
A Prosthodontist for Cosmetic Dentistry
A prosthodontist is a dentist with additional specialty training focused on restoring and replacing teeth. Dr. Randi completed dental school at Columbia University, along with a General Practice Residency and a Prosthodontics Residency. That background means cosmetic decisions, like how a veneer will sit against your bite or how whitening interacts with existing dental work, are considered from a whole-mouth point of view. Many cosmetic concerns overlap with restorative needs. When a case also involves worn teeth, missing teeth, or bite problems, our restorative dentistry services can be brought into the same treatment plan.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if I wait to address cosmetic concerns?
Cosmetic concerns like a chip or worn edge usually don't fix themselves, and they can sometimes get worse over time. Waiting isn't always harmful, but a small chip can crack further or a bite issue can shift how other teeth wear. Talking with Dr. Randi early helps you understand your options before a small issue turns into a bigger repair.
Is cosmetic dentistry right for me?
Cosmetic dentistry may be a good fit if you're unhappy with the color, shape, or spacing of your teeth and your mouth is otherwise healthy. Dr. Randi checks your bite, gums, and existing teeth first to make sure any cosmetic treatment supports your long-term oral health. The best way to know for sure is a conversation about your goals and a look at your current smile.
Does insurance cover cosmetic dentistry?
Most dental insurance plans don't cover procedures that are purely cosmetic, though some cases that overlap with restorative treatment may be partly covered. Our team will work with you directly to understand your specific benefits and financing options. Call our office with insurance questions before you schedule any cosmetic dental procedure.
