SMILE BRILLIANTLY, Live Beautifully.
Most cosmetic patients do not start by asking for a procedure. They start with a moment.
A photo they avoid. A smile they hold back.
A wedding, a milestone, a career season, or the simple feeling that they are ready to look like themselves again.
Cosmetic dentistry is the work of turning that feeling into a plan.
At Dentistry at East Piedmont in Marietta, that can include professional teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, Invisalign®, CEREC® same-day crowns, BOTOX®, and full smile makeovers that coordinate several treatments into one result.
The reason to start here is not that we have one favorite cosmetic service to sell. It is that the right recommendation depends on your face, your bite, your timeline, your confidence, and the kind of change you actually want to see.
We study the details first, then build the smallest plan that can honestly get you there.
Bring the change you have in mind to a free cosmetic consultation at our Marietta practice. If you are choosing between practices, our guide to choosing a cosmetic dentist gives you questions to bring to that conversation.
We start with what you want to change and how you want to feel when you smile. Color, shape, alignment, confidence, timing, and comfort all belong in the same conversation.
Digital scans and photographs help us study your teeth, bite, lips, and facial proportions before recommending a cosmetic path.
Whitening, Invisalign®, porcelain veneers, CEREC same-day crowns, and smile makeovers can be planned together instead of treated as separate decisions.
You see the recommended path, sequence, timeline, and investment before treatment begins, so the next step feels clear.

FOUNDED 2001 · 3 DOCTORS · REAL PATIENT SMILES ONLY
Cosmetic dentistry is easy to overdo when the plan starts with teeth instead of the person wearing them. Dr. Ashish Patel and our team approach every cosmetic case through the whole face.
How your teeth show when you speak. How your smile line moves.
What your bite needs to support. Where the result should look polished without looking like it belongs to someone else.
Your consultation starts with what you want to feel different. Then we take photographs, digital scans, and the time to compare your options honestly.
A whitening visit may be enough. A few veneers may be the cleanest answer.
A full smile makeover may need whitening, alignment, porcelain, and restorative work sequenced together.
The setting matters too. Cosmetic appointments happen in private treatment rooms with digital scanning, modern planning tools, noise-cancelling headphones, warm blankets, customizable TVs, and sedation options when appropriate.
The page may be about your smile. The experience still has to feel like Dentistry at East Piedmont.
Every smile you'll see on this site belongs to a real patient who said yes to sharing their transformation. No stock photos. Every face is someone who walked through our doors and trusted us with their smile.
Real patient stories make cosmetic dentistry easier to understand. Every transformation below belongs to someone who walked through our doors and said yes to sharing their story.

We listen first. What do you want to change?
What have you been hiding? What would make you smile without thinking about it?
Then we take photographs and digital scans so the conversation is grounded in your actual smile.
We compare the paths that could get you there and explain the tradeoffs. Whitening, aligners, veneers, crowns, or a combined plan all have different strengths.
You see the sequence, timeline, and investment before treatment begins.
Treatment is paced around the plan and your life. A single visit may be enough for whitening or BOTOX®.
Veneers, Invisalign®, and larger makeovers move through planned phases with check-ins along the way.
The final result is reviewed against the goals we set at the beginning. Then we plan the cleanings, retainers, night guards, or maintenance needed to protect the smile you chose.
Cosmetic work shouldn't be the first dental conversation. Where you stand on these usually tells us whether it's the right moment.
Cosmetic work should be built on healthy teeth and gums. If you have active gum disease, untreated cavities, or significant structural problems, we'll start by stabilizing those issues before cosmetic treatment begins.
Cosmetic work on an unhealthy foundation won't last.
Cosmetic dentistry is one of the few investments you wear into every conversation and every photo. The scope can be simple, like whitening, or comprehensive, like a smile makeover that coordinates several procedures.
The right plan is the one that gets you to the result you described without adding treatment your case does not need.
Because most cosmetic procedures are elective, dental insurance typically does not cover them. We tell you that clearly before you make decisions.
To make cosmetic work manageable, we partner with reputable third-party lenders for financing. Most patients qualify for flexible monthly payment plans across the full range of cosmetic procedures.
The most reliable way to know what your specific cosmetic goal requires is the consultation. We'll examine your smile, listen to your goals, and tell you honestly what plan would get you to your best result.
It depends on the procedure. Professional whitening typically lasts 6 months to 2 years before needing touch-ups.
Porcelain veneers and crowns last 15–20+ years. Dental implants are designed to last a lifetime.
Invisalign results last as long as you wear your retainer. Each procedure has its own maintenance protocol, and we walk you through the long-term care plan as part of the treatment plan.
A free consultation. You don't need to know what procedure you want before walking in.
Most patients don't. You just need to know what you'd change about your smile if you could change anything.
We listen, examine, photograph and scan, and recommend the path that gets you there. Sometimes that's one procedure.
Sometimes it's a combination. Either way, the consultation is where it becomes a real plan instead of a vague intention.
