A radiant smile can boost your self-esteem and help you face each day with renewed confidence.

As one of the top 3% of dental practices in America equipped with cutting-edge technology, we combine artistic vision with technical precision to deliver results that look natural and feel comfortable.
Your smile is often the first thing people notice about you. If you’re hesitant to show your teeth due to discoloration, chips, gaps, or alignment issues, our comprehensive cosmetic dentistry options can help address these cosmetic concerns. Led by cosmetic dentist Dr. Jordan Tucker, our skilled Cary dentist can help with the following cosmetic dental services:
Do stained teeth make you self-conscious about your smile? Our professional teeth whitening treatments can brighten your teeth by several shades in just one visit. Unlike over-the-counter products, our professional-grade whitening solutions provide dramatic, long-lasting results without damaging your tooth enamel. Whether you choose in-office whitening for immediate results or our custom take-home kits for gradual improvement, you’ll enjoy a brighter, more youthful smile.
Veneers are thin shells of porcelain custom-crafted to cover the front surface of your teeth. They’re an ideal solution for correcting various cosmetic issues, including:
Our porcelain veneers are designed to look completely natural while providing a durable, stain-resistant solution that can last for many years with proper care. The process typically requires just two visits—one for preparation and impressions, and a second to bond your custom-crafted veneers to your teeth, instantly transforming your smile.
For minor cosmetic imperfections, dental bonding offers a quick, affordable solution. Using tooth-colored composite resin, we can repair chips, cracks, and small gaps, or even change the shape and color of a tooth. The procedure is minimally invasive, usually requires no anesthesia, and can be completed in a single visit.
Gone are the days of noticeable metal fillings. Our tooth-colored composite fillings not only restore decayed teeth but blend seamlessly with your natural tooth color. These modern restorations provide excellent durability in small to medium-sized fillings that need to withstand moderate pressure from chewing.
When a tooth needs more extensive restoration than a filling can provide, a dental crown offers both cosmetic improvement and structural support. Our all-ceramic crowns are custom-crafted to match your natural teeth perfectly, providing a strong, beautiful restoration that can last for many years.
For patients desiring a complete transformation, we offer comprehensive smile makeovers that combine multiple cosmetic procedures to address all aspects of your smile. Your smile makeover might include a combination of whitening, veneers, crowns, or other treatment options tailored specifically to achieve your ideal smile.
What sets our family cosmetic dentistry services apart is our commitment to:
When you choose Sunrise Dental Cary, you’re choosing a dental clinic that combines cutting-edge technology with compassionate care in a comfortable environment designed to make every visit a pleasant experience.
As one of the top 3% of dental practices in America equipped with CEREC, Prime Print, and CBCT technology, Sunrise Dental Cary offers cosmetic dentist solutions that are not only beautiful but incredibly precise and efficient.
Our CEREC same-day restoration technology allows us to create custom ceramic crowns and veneers in a single visit—no temporaries, no follow-up appointments, and no uncomfortable impressions. The results are beautiful, durable restorations that fit perfectly and look completely natural.
With our advanced digital scanning technology, we can take highly accurate 3D images of your teeth without the discomfort of traditional impression materials. These digital impressions help us design restorations with unprecedented precision, ensuring optimal fit and appearance.
When it comes to enhancing your smile, understanding your financial options is essential. At Sunrise Dental Cary, we believe quality cosmetic dentistry should be accessible to everyone, which is why we offer various payment solutions to fit your budget.
Transforming your smile is an investment in your confidence and well-being. Our cosmetic dentistry services include professional teeth whitening, veneers, clear aligners, and same-day crowns and bridges—all designed to help you achieve the new smile you’ve always wanted.
Most dental insurance plans cover preventive care at 100%, basic procedures at 80%, and major restorative treatments at 50%. However, purely cosmetic procedures like teeth whitening are rarely covered by standard dental insurance policies.
Some cosmetic treatments may have partial coverage if they also serve a functional purpose. For example, crowns or implant dentistry might receive partial insurance coverage even though they improve appearance, as they also restore function. At Sunrise Dental Cary, we accept all major PPO plans and are in-network with Delta Dental and Blue Cross Blue Shield.
During your consultation, our team will verify your insurance benefits and provide a clear breakdown of any potential coverage for your cosmetic treatment plan. We’ll work to maximize your benefits while minimizing your out-of-pocket expenses and supporting your overall well being.
We understand that cosmetic dental treatments are an investment, which is why we offer several flexible payment options to make your dream smile more affordable:
For more extensive cosmetic work, we partner with reputable financial institutions that offer dental-specific credit options. These plans often include low or zero-interest promotional periods and extended payment terms up to 60 months, making your cosmetic treatment more manageable.
Our patient coordinators will work with you to find the financial solution that best fits your budget. We proudly welcome individuals from Cary and neighboring communities, including Holly Springs.

At Sunrise Dental Cary, cosmetic dental procedure costs vary based on several factors including the specific treatment needed, case complexity, materials used, and individual patient needs. While we provide approximate price ranges to help with financial planning, the exact cost will be determined during your consultation after a thorough examination.
Professional teeth whitening treatments typically range from $500-850, while porcelain veneers generally fall between $1,500-2,000 per veneer. Dental bridges may range from $3,500-9,750 depending on complexity and materials, and same-day crowns are approximately $1,400-1,850 per crown. For those interested in dental implants, costs start around $2,300-2,900 for a single implant (not including restoration), while Invisalign orthodontic therapy may range from $2,700-7,200 based on case complexity.
We offer several flexible payment options and financing plans to help make these procedures more affordable. During your personalized consultation, we’ll provide a detailed treatment plan with cost estimates specific to your needs and goals.
Cosmetic dentistry focuses primarily on improving the appearance of your smile, with aesthetics being the main goal even when your teeth are functionally healthy. Procedures like teeth whitening, veneers, and cosmetic bonding are designed specifically to enhance smile aesthetics.
Restorative dentistry, on the other hand, aims to repair damaged or missing teeth to restore proper function and oral health. Treatments such as fillings, crowns, bridges, implants, and dentures fall into this category. The boundaries often overlap, as many restorative procedures also improve appearance, and modern dentistry increasingly blends both approaches.
At Sunrise Dental Cary, we take a comprehensive approach where restorative work is performed with cosmetic principles in mind, ensuring your restored teeth not only function properly but also look beautiful and natural within your smile.
The longevity of cosmetic dental results varies depending on the specific procedure, materials used, and your personal oral hygiene habits. Professional teeth whitening typically lasts 1-3 years before touch-ups may be desired. Porcelain veneers and crowns generally last 10-15 years or longer with proper care. Dental bonding usually needs refreshing every 3-7 years. Dental implants can last a lifetime for the implant itself, though the crown on top may need replacement after 10-15 years. Clear aligner results can be permanent with consistent retainer use.
Your individual habits significantly impact longevity—factors like tobacco use, consuming staining foods and beverages, grinding teeth, and oral hygiene practices all affect how long your results will maintain their appearance. Regular dental check-ups allow us to monitor your cosmetic work and address any issues before they compromise your results.
Yes, achieving natural-looking results is one of our highest priorities at Sunrise Dental Cary. Modern cosmetic dentistry has evolved tremendously, with advanced materials and techniques that replicate the translucency, texture, and color variations of natural teeth.
Dr. Tucker and our team take a customized approach to each patient, considering factors like facial features, skin tone, age, and existing teeth to create harmonious, authentic results. We use high-quality porcelain and composite materials that mimic the light-reflecting properties of natural enamel.
During the planning phase, we’ll show you what to expect using digital imaging and shade matching techniques. Many patients report that even close friends and family can’t tell which teeth have had cosmetic work. Our goal is always to enhance your smile in a way that looks like you were simply born with beautiful teeth.
Most cosmetic dental procedures involve minimal discomfort, especially with today’s advanced techniques and effective local anesthetics. Treatments like professional teeth whitening may cause temporary sensitivity for some patients, but this typically subsides within a day or two.
For more involved procedures such as veneer placement or crown preparation, we ensure you’re completely numb before beginning work, and many patients report feeling pressure rather than pain during treatment. We offer several comfort options including dental sedation for anxious patients or longer procedures. Any post-procedure discomfort is usually mild and manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers.
Our team at Sunrise Dental Cary prioritizes your comfort throughout every stage of treatment, from consultation to completion, and we communicate clearly about what sensations to expect during each procedure so there are no surprises.
Maintaining your cosmetic dental results involves consistent oral hygiene practices and some procedure-specific care. Brush twice daily with a non-abrasive toothpaste and soft-bristled brush, and floss daily to prevent plaque buildup around cosmetic restorations.
Schedule regular professional cleanings and check-ups every six months so we can monitor your cosmetic work and address any issues early. For whitening results, minimize consumption of staining foods and beverages like coffee, red wine, and berries, or rinse your mouth after consuming them. For veneers, crowns, and bonding, avoid using your teeth as tools to open packages or bite fingernails, and wear a bite guard if you grind your teeth.
After orthodontic treatment, wear your retainers as directed to prevent teeth from shifting. We’ll provide detailed care instructions specific to your treatments, and prompt attention to any changes in your cosmetic work can help extend its lifespan and maintain your beautiful results for years to come.
