Confidence Starts with a Beautiful Smile
You can tell a lot about a person just by looking at their smile, which is why it’s usually one of the first things people notice about each other. What do you think your smile is saying about you? Is it putting the right message out into the world, or do you think it could be holding you back?
To help you know that you’ll always make the right first impression, we can offer you a variety of cosmetic treatments that can improve every aspect of your smile. With just one or two simple treatments, Dr. J. Lee Pettigrew can give you the kind of smile that will make you feel confident in any situation.
Porcelain Veneers
This one procedure can:
- Instantly whiten your teeth
- Fix and mask small chips and cracks
- Close large, obvious gaps
- Make slightly misaligned teeth appear straighter
That’s right, just one treatment can do all of this, and you can get it right here in Southlake. Every set of porcelain veneers is custom-made for each patient, so whether you’re looking for a minor touch-up or a complete smile makeover, they can give you exactly what you want.

Metal-Free Restorations
When a patient has a damaged front tooth, we know that they need a special kind of solution, one that combines the best aspects of both restorative and cosmetic dentistry. For these kinds of cases, we will only use natural-looking metal-free restorations. These all-ceramic crowns are able to restore a tooth both aesthetically and functionally, giving a patient a complete solution that will revitalize their smile for years to come.
Direct Bonding
Do you have a small chip or crack on a tooth that is bothering you? Would you like to close a gap between your teeth that's too noticeable? For these kinds of problems, we have a quick and easy treatment called direct bonding.
Dr. Pettigrew will apply a putty-like composite resin to your tooth and use it to sculpt away any imperfections. After a few minutes under a curing light, the material will be rock hard just like your natural teeth. With that, you’re finished, and your new smile will be ready for the world! Typically, this treatment only takes about an hour, but the results can easily last for 10 years or more.
In-Practice Whitening
If your smile is looking a bit dull and yellow lately, we can help it shine brightly again with our in-office laser whitening treatment. Using a highly-concentrated bleaching gel combined with our Biolase dental laser, we can make your teeth look up to 8 shades whiter in less than an hour. It’s the perfect treatment for the person who wants to look their best on the go. With consistent brushing and flossing, the results can easily last for several months!
At-Home Whitening
Tired of not getting results using store-bought whitening treatments? We can help you by providing our own custom-made take home kit. With one easy appointment, we can make a set of mouth trays specially designed to comfortably fit you. They will keep our potent whitening gel in the perfect place while protecting your lips and gums. After two weeks of daily use, your smile will be dramatically whiter. Our kits only use professional-grade products, so they will guarantee you fantastic results that will stand the test of time.
Thanks to Dr. Pettigrew’s artistic touch, he can give you a set of teeth that will make you feel just as good on the inside as you look on the outside. All it takes is just one or two appointments to get the smile of your dreams.
