Your Cosmetic Dentistry Process
Smile Consultation
Dr. Hulsey starts with a consultation to learn what you want to change and what results are realistic for your teeth. He examines your teeth, discusses your goals, and reviews the options that fit, with no pressure to commit.
Personalized Treatment Plan
Once you choose a direction, Dr. Hulsey outlines your treatment plan, including each step, the expected timeline, and the materials involved. He explains the plan so you feel informed before treatment begins.
Treatment and Results
Treatment is completed with attention to how your teeth look, feel, and work together. Afterward, Dr. Hulsey reviews your results and explains how to care for your new smile.

Smiles
We offer cosmetic treatments for common smile concerns, and Dr. Hulsey helps you choose the option or combination that fits your goals.
Veneers, Crowns, and Bonding
Veneers are thin custom shells bonded to the front of teeth to correct discoloration, chips, gaps, and uneven shape. According to a 2021 systematic review, porcelain laminate veneers had an estimated 10-year survival rate of 95.5%. Dental crowns restore a damaged or discolored tooth, and composite bonding can repair a minor chip or close a small gap, often in a single visit.
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening brightens stained or yellowed teeth, and a short exam shows whether whitening or another treatment will work best for your teeth.
SMILE MAKEOVERS
A smile makeover combines several cosmetic treatments to address multiple concerns at once. Instead of treating each issue separately, Dr. Hulsey looks at the color, shape, proportion, and symmetry of your teeth as a whole.
A smile makeover at Oklahoma Smiles can include veneers, crowns, composite fillings, and teeth whitening, depending on your goals and the condition of your teeth. Dr. Hulsey designs a plan that fits your timeline, your budget, and the natural features of your face.
Common Smile Concerns We Can Address
Most cosmetic concerns fall into a few groups, and each has treatment options.
- Stained or yellow teeth: Professional whitening can brighten surface stains.
- Chips and small gaps: Bonding may repair minor flaws quickly.
- Uneven or discolored teeth: Veneers or crowns can reshape and recolor the tooth.
- An uneven gum line: Gum contouring can reshape the gum line for a more balanced smile.
- Several concerns at once: A smile makeover brings treatments together in one plan.
Your consultation shows which options fit your goals and which can wait.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cosmetic Dentistry
How do I know which cosmetic treatment is right for me?
The best way to find out is a cosmetic consultation with Dr. Hulsey. He evaluates your teeth, listens to your goals, and reviews the options that fit your situation, because every smile is different.
Will my cosmetic results look natural?
Our goal is a result that blends with your smile and fits your face. Dr. Hulsey plans the shape, size, and shade of each restoration around your natural teeth, and your consultation covers what to expect.
How much does cosmetic dentistry cost?
Cost depends on the treatments you choose and how many teeth are involved, so we review pricing after your consultation. We accept HSA and FSA payments and can discuss financing through CareCredit and Cherry.
Does insurance cover cosmetic dentistry?
Insurance usually does not cover treatments done purely for appearance, though it may help with restorative work such as crowns or fillings when they are needed. Coverage depends on your plan, and our team can review your insurance benefits with you.
Is cosmetic dentistry only about appearance?
Not always. Many cosmetic treatments also protect your teeth. Crowns strengthen damaged teeth and bonding repairs chips, so improving how your teeth look can also support how they work.
How long does a cosmetic treatment plan take?
Timelines vary. Whitening and bonding can be completed quickly, while veneers and crowns take several appointments because they are made in a dental lab. Dr. Hulsey outlines a timeline in your treatment plan.
