Smile design by an AACD-accredited dentist.

Dr. Whitman — Kois Center alumna, AACD-accredited (the credentialing that requires case-by-case peer review). Invisalign, veneers, whitening, smile design.

Cash-pay cosmetic side; transparent pricing published below.

Why credentials matter

What “AACD-accredited” actually means.

The American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry has roughly 350 accredited members in the United States. Accreditation requires a written exam, a clinical skills exam, and case-by-case peer review of five completed cosmetic cases by board-credentialed dentists. The cases go in front of strangers who can fail them.

This is different from “cosmetic certification” from a weekend course, which most cosmetic-marketed practices use. Both are legal to advertise. Only one requires that someone else looks at your work and says it’s good.

Dr. Whitman is one of the ~350. She trained at the Kois Center in Seattle for restorative + occlusion work — the same place most of the AACD instructor pool teaches from.

Published pricing

Cosmetic is cash-pay. So we tell you the number.

Insurance typically doesn’t cover cosmetic dentistry. The standard industry move is to keep pricing opaque so the consult becomes a sales surface. We’d rather publish entry prices up front. The full quote is written line by line at your consult.

Composite bonding

Smile design starts at

$4,500.

Six anterior teeth, composite-bonding entry. Same-day work. The price scales with case complexity — full quote written before we start.

Clear aligners

Invisalign limited starts at

$3,500.

Limited / single-arch entry. Full-arch and complex cases priced at consult. Includes refinement trays and one set of retainers.

Whitening

Take-home custom trays

$395.

Custom-fit upper + lower trays, professional-grade gel, three-week protocol. Office-side whitening available; we usually recommend take-home as a better long-term result.

CareCredit and in-house payment plans are available for any of the above. Smile Club members get 15% off cosmetic treatments — see Smile Club on the preventive page for membership details.

Request a smile-design quote

Tell us what you’d like changed.

Send a few details about what you’re hoping to change. We’ll reach out within one business day with photos of comparable cases, a written line-item quote, and two or three consult time options.

The quote we send is the quote you pay. No surprise line items added after we start.

A few words is fine. The consult covers the rest.

Preferred contact method

The smile-design consult is informational — we’ll show photos of comparable cases, write a line-item quote, and answer questions. Sending this form doesn’t commit you to anything.

Before-and-afters

Shared at the consult, not posted on the site.

Why we don’t publish a gallery.

Cosmetic outcomes look different on different mouths — same technique, different jaw shape, different lip line, different color. A photo of someone else’s smile doesn’t predict yours.

We’ll bring photo binders of cases close to yours to the consult — bonding, veneers, Invisalign, whitening — and walk through what was done, what it cost, and what the visible outcome was. The photo set is curated to your case, not to social-media aesthetics.
