Cosmetic Treatments We Offer in Lincoln, NE
As a cosmetic dentist in Lincoln, NE, Dr. Sowers offers six treatments that can stand alone or work together.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening removes stains from coffee, tea, and everyday foods. We offer convenient whitening strips or custom whitening trays to help you brighten your smile. Learn more about professional teeth whitening.
Dental Veneers
Veneers are thin porcelain or composite shells bonded to the front of your teeth. They address chips, gaps, and permanent discoloration that whitening alone cannot correct.
Dental Bonding
Bonding uses tooth-colored resin to repair minor chips, cracks, and small gaps. It is one of the quickest cosmetic options available and usually requires just one appointment.
Crowns and Bridges
A crown covers a damaged tooth completely, restoring both its strength and its appearance. Bridges fill the space left by a missing tooth by anchoring to the neighboring teeth on each side. Read more about crowns and bridges.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
Tooth-colored fillings match the natural shade of your teeth, so treated areas blend in rather than stand out. They are a good choice when an older silver filling needs to be replaced or when a new cavity is treated. See our page on tooth-colored fillings.
Dental Implants
A dental implant replaces the root of a missing tooth and supports a lifelike crown on top. At West Gate Dental, a local oral surgeon places the implant, and Dr. Sowers then restores it with a custom crown crafted to match your surrounding teeth. Explore implant dentistry at West Gate Dental for single tooth, multiple tooth, and full arch options.
How a Cosmetic Consultation Works at Our Lincoln Office

Step 1: Share Your Goals. Dr. Sowers begins by listening. She wants to understand what you would like to change about your smile and which concerns matter most to you.
Step 2: Oral Health Review. Before any cosmetic work is planned, Dr. Sowers examines your teeth and gums. Cosmetic results last longer when the foundation is healthy, so any underlying issues are noted at this stage.

Step 4: Personalized Treatment Plan. You receive a detailed plan outlining the recommended sequence of treatments, the number of visits typically involved, and what each step will feel like.
