If you’re looking to transform your smile and boost your confidence, you’ve come to the right place. At Tecumseh Ridge Dental in Norman, led by Dr. Andrew Wheatley, our focus is on more than just preventive and restorative care. We’re committed to cosmetic dentistry that enhances the way you look and feel. With our patient-centered philosophy, anxiety-free environment, and advanced training in esthetic treatments, we’re here to help you create the smile you’ve always wanted.
Why Cosmetic Dentistry Matters
Cosmetic dentistry improves the appearance of teeth, gums, and/or bites, while often also serving functional purposes. Whether it’s a chipped front tooth, a stained smile, irregular spacing, or simply wanting a brighter, more youthful look, cosmetic dental treatments can make a meaningful difference. At Tecumseh Ridge Dental, Dr. Wheatley and his team believe that exceptional cosmetic dentistry combines art and science: it’s about creating a healthy mouth and a beautiful smile with integrity, comfort, and precision.
When you book a cosmetic dentistry consultation with us, you’ll receive a thorough assessment of your oral health, a discussion of your aesthetic goals, and a personalized treatment plan. We always emphasize that great cosmetic work starts with a healthy foundation—clean teeth, solid gums, and stable bites. With that in place, we can move into the “beautification” phase: veneers, whitening, crowns, Invisalign®, and more.

Each of these services is performed with an emphasis on credibility, comfort, and long-term success. We’re not just making things look good—we’re making them last.
Spotlight on Veneers: Why They’re a Game-Changer
One of the most dramatic and effective tools in cosmetic dentistry is the veneer. Veneers are thin shells—typically made of porcelain or high-grade composite—that are custom crafted and bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth. They’re ideal when you’re dealing with:
- Discolored, stained, or yellowed teeth that don’t respond well to whitening
- Chips, cracks, or minor fractures
- Mild misalignment, gaps, or uneven sizing/shape of teeth
- Misshapen or worn teeth where you want to redesign aesthetics
At Tecumseh Ridge Dental, Dr. Wheatley uses veneers as part of a comprehensive cosmetic smile plan. Here’s how the veneer process typically unfolds:
- Consultation & design – We’ll talk through your smile goals, show you before/after possibilities, and design the veneer sequence to coordinate with your facial aesthetic.
- Preparation – Minimal tooth reduction (only what’s necessary) is done so the veneers sit naturally. Digital impressions may be used for accuracy.
- Custom fabrication – The veneers are crafted by the dental lab and matched for color, translucency, and fit.
- Bonding & finishing – Dr. Wheatley bonds the veneers securely, refines the bite and look, and polishes them for a natural finish.
- Maintenance – Veneers are not maintenance-free, but with good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, they can last many years.
Veneers offer dramatic transformation while preserving much of your natural tooth structure. They’re one of the go-to solutions in cosmetic dentistry when you want long-lasting aesthetic impact.
