Transform Your Smile with Advanced Cosmetic Dental Care
Your smile is one of the first things people notice—and at Bethany Family Dental Portland, we’re here to help you make a lasting impression. Our cosmetic dentistry services in Portland are designed to enhance the color, shape, alignment, and overall appearance of your teeth, giving you a confident, radiant smile that looks completely natural.
Whether you’re dealing with stained, chipped, uneven, or missing teeth, our experienced cosmetic dentists provide personalized solutions tailored to your goals, lifestyle, and budget. Our comprehensive cosmetic dentistry treatments include:
Composite Dental Fillings And Restorations
Teeth affected by decay, cracks, or fractures can weaken your smile and lead to further complications without treatment. Prompt restoration is essential to preserve tooth function and appearance.
At Bethany Family Dental Portland, Dr. Austria uses composite (tooth-colored) fillings to repair affected teeth. After carefully removing the damaged area, the tooth is restored with a durable composite material that closely matches the shade of your natural teeth. Their premium quality makes them ideal for visible areas like the front teeth, ensuring a beautiful, confident smile while maintaining long-term oral health. Because they require less removal of healthy tooth compared to traditional fillings, more of your natural tooth is preserved.
While they are strong and long-lasting, they may need replacement over time. As part of our cosmetic dentistry Portland services, we provide restorations that combine durability with aesthetics to keep your smile healthy and beautiful.

Custom Dental Crowns For Tooth Repair
A dental crown is a custom-made cap covering a damaged tooth to restore its shape, size, and strength. It protects teeth that cannot be restored with fillings alone and prevents further damage. Crafted to match the color and contour of natural teeth, crowns provide durable, long-lasting results and a flawless appearance. We use high-quality materials to ensure every cap restores full function, maintains proper bite alignment, and blends naturally with the surrounding teeth. With routine care, capped teeth can last for years while keeping your smile healthy and strong. Our cosmetic dentists recommended dental crowns for teeth with:
- Severe breakage or fractures.
- Extensive decay.
- Large or fractured fillings.
- Root canal treatment.
- Cosmetic concerns affecting shape or color.

Teeth Whitening For Stained Teeth
Teeth whitening, also known as bleaching, is a non-invasive dental treatment to lighten the tooth's enamel and enhance the appearance of your smile. With whiter teeth being a top aesthetic priority for Portland locals, several effective whitening options are available at our clinic. The most popular method is a home tooth whitening system that delivers dramatic results. Since smile enhancement only affects the tooth's enamel, evaluating any old fillings, crowns, or restorations is crucial before the procedure. Although the results last for years, touch-ups help to sustain the brightness for a lifetime. The treatment is specifically beneficial for smokers or those who consume coffee, tea, or wine regularly. We prioritize your smile's health and aesthetics. Our cosmetic dentists offer personalized whitening solutions to restore your teeth's natural brightness. Trust us to help you achieve a confident, vibrant smile. Common reasons for teeth whitening include:
- Fluorosis is caused by excessive fluoride during tooth development.
- Normal wear and thinning of the enamel layer.
- Staining from medications such as tetracycline.
- Yellow or brown discoloration of teeth.

Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are thin, strong shells made from tooth-colored ceramic, custom-crafted to match your natural teeth's size, shape, and shade. They are bonded to the front surfaces of teeth to enhance aesthetics and create a balanced, attractive smile. Veneers often serve as an excellent crown alternative, effectively addressing multiple cosmetic and restorative dental needs. We focus on delivering personalized cosmetic solutions that enhance your smile's appearance and function. Our Portland cosmetic dentist utilizes the latest materials and techniques to ensure the shells deliver beautiful, long-lasting results. With proper care, porcelain veneers help you maintain a radiant and confident smile for years. Porcelain veneers are recommended for:
- Creating a uniform, bright, and natural-looking smile.
- Correcting crooked or misaligned teeth.
- Reshaping misshapen or irregular teeth.
- Concealing severe discoloration or staining.
- Adjusting teeth that are too small or too large.
- Closing unwanted gaps or uneven spaces.
- Repairing chipped, worn, or damaged teeth.

Porcelain Onlay Restorations For Strength & Function
Porcelain onlays are especially popular because they closely resemble natural tooth enamel. Also known as partial crowns, onlays provide a conservative way to restore teeth with large defective fillings or damage caused by decay or trauma. Compared to full crowns, onlays require less removal of healthy tooth structure, preserving more of your natural tooth.
Onlays differ from inlays because they cover one or more chewing cusps that are damaged and need restoration. They offer a durable, precise fit restoring tooth strength and function while maintaining a natural appearance. We use advanced techniques to ensure every porcelain onlay delivers an exact fit and long-lasting results while preserving your tooth's integrity. Dr. Nathan Austria suggests patients for onlay restorations with:
- Broken or fractured teeth.
- Cosmetic enhancement.
- Decayed teeth.
- Fractured fillings.
- Large fillings.
Tooth Bonding To Close Gaps & Fix Flaws
Tooth bonding is a cosmetic procedure using tooth-colored resin material to restore and enhance teeth. We use it to repair decay, close small gaps, correct minor alignment issues, or improve the color and shape of a tooth. The process involves lightly preparing the tooth surface before applying the resin. Our cosmetic dentists then carefully shape and match the shades to the surrounding teeth, and harden them using a high-intensity curing light. Once set, the bonded area is polished to create a smooth, natural appearance. Tooth bonding is a quick, non-invasive treatment, often completed in a single visit. With proper care, they can last several years before repair or replacement is needed. This makes it an ideal option for restoring both function and aesthetics.

Testimonials
Crown and filling experience went better than I expected. It's normally a painful process for me. Staff is always friendly and easy to deal with. We appreciate that they offer us different options since we don't have dental insurance.
Ilus Ka
Everyone is so nice and friendly. If you’re looking for a new dentist and team, I highly recommend Bethany Dental. I’ve gone in a few times for anual cleanings and some cavity fillings and I’ve left satisfied every time.
Marlyne Rodriguez
The staff was very friendly. Dr. Austria was very friendly and asked me lots of questions and listened to me. He made my appointment easy and stress free. I would recommend going to this office for your dental care.
Marcia Reyes
I just spent a very relaxing (really!) 2.75 hours being prepped for a new crown and having 3 fillings put in. Honestly, except for a slight prick of the numbing needle, the whole procedure was painless. Dr.Austria and his staff were friendly, the atmosphere was calming, and I knew I was in good hands.
Caroline Arnold
They were super friendly and considerate to any pain I was having. The Dr. asked often if I was in any pain, and I didn't even feel the shot like I usually do at my other dentist. They do everything they can to make you comfortable. I definitely recommend going here.
Jordan Harris
I'm in the process of getting a post and crown. Right now I'm healing from my bone graft and every person at this practice continually goes out of their way to make sure I heal well and every thing goes as planned. There was a problem with my bone graft initially and Dr. Austria continues to spend extra time on my mouth to help me keep on healing, at no extra expense to me.
Heather Stevens
Dr. Austria is one of the kindest, most capable, and awesome dentists I’ve ever had. I have a moderate level of anxiety around any dental work that requires local anesthesia, and Dr. Austria did everything he could to put me at ease when I unexpectedly needed numbing. The dental assistants are awesome too, non-judgmental and sweet and supportive. I’m so glad we found Bethany Family Dental.
