Please don't hesitate to call us at (202) 920-1410
The patients who come to Georgetown Advanced Dentistry for cosmetic care are not looking for dramatic transformations. They're looking for a smile that appears as though it has always looked that way.
That standard of outcome requires a clinician who understands both the technical and aesthetic dimensions of cosmetic dentistry — and takes the time to understand what each patient actually wants before recommending any treatment.
Dr. Sinclair Davis, DDS, draws on a background that spans oral surgery, endodontics, and dental aesthetics — an unusual combination that gives him both the surgical precision and the restorative artistry to deliver cosmetic results that hold up over time, functionally and visually.
Services at Georgetown Advanced Dentistry
Six ways to refine, restore, or completely reimagine your smile — each tailored to your individual goals.

Ultra-thin ceramic shells bonded to the front of teeth. Address color, shape, proportion, and minor alignment in a single treatment. Lifespans of up to 20 years.
Explore Veneers →Teeth Whitening
Prescription-strength whitening applied under clinical supervision — for results over-the-counter products can't match. Tailored to your sensitivity level.
Explore Whitening →Invisalign Clear Aligners
Custom clear trays that move teeth into alignment — no metal brackets or wires. Removable, discreet, and effective for crowding, spacing, and bite issues.
Explore Invisalign →Dental Bonding
A conservative option to repair chips, small gaps, and shape irregularities without removing any tooth structure. Completed in a single appointment.
Learn About Bonding →Cosmetic Crowns
When a tooth is too damaged for a veneer, a full-coverage ceramic crown restores function and appearance. CAD/CAM 3D design ensures a seamless match.
Explore Crowns →Alma Opus Plasma Laser

Every Treatment Begins with a Conversation
Dr. Davis takes time to understand what you want to change, what you want to preserve, and what outcome would make you feel genuinely confident — rather than simply presenting a standard treatment menu.
That conversation shapes a treatment plan built around your specific goals, timeline, and the clinical picture of your teeth and bite. Some patients want to start with a single change; others are planning a complete smile makeover over multiple appointments. Both are valid starting points.
Dr. Davis's academic background in psychology and philosophy, combined with his clinical credentials, allows him to engage with patients on a level that goes beyond the procedural — which is part of what makes Georgetown Advanced Dentistry a meaningful fit for the Northwest DC community.
Smile Makeover Pairings
Cosmetic treatments often work best in combination. These are the pairings patients most commonly build their treatment plan around.
The Everyday Brighten
For patients whose teeth are structurally sound but showing age — surface stains and minor chips. A refresh, not a reinvention.
The Refined Smile
The most requested pairing at Georgetown Advanced Dentistry. Veneers reshape the front-facing teeth; whitening balances the tone across the whole smile.
The Full Smile Makeover
Alignment first, then color, then finishing veneers where they matter most. Sequenced across several months for a fully engineered outcome.

Our patients are highly educated, professionally established, and attuned to quality. They research their providers thoroughly and have high expectations for both the process and the outcome — expectations Georgetown Advanced Dentistry is built to meet.
Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to what patients ask most about cosmetic dentistry.
What does a cosmetic dentist do differently from a general dentist?
General and cosmetic dentistry share significant overlap — most cosmetic procedures are performed by general dentists with additional training and focus in aesthetic outcomes. The distinction lies in the depth of that focus. A clinician oriented toward cosmetic outcomes thinks carefully about proportion, color, texture, and the relationship between individual teeth and the overall smile. Dr. Davis brings decades of practice in dental aesthetics alongside his surgical and restorative training.
Are porcelain veneers permanent?
Veneers require the removal of a small amount of enamel from the tooth surface before placement, meaning the tooth will always need a veneer or other coverage going forward — making them a permanent commitment. The veneers themselves, however, are not permanent in lifespan; they typically last 10 to 20 years before replacement becomes appropriate. Composite resin veneers are a less invasive alternative for patients who prefer a more conservative approach.
How many appointments does a smile makeover take?
It depends entirely on what the makeover involves. A whitening treatment plus a few composite bonding repairs might be completed in two appointments. A full veneer case involves a minimum of two to three visits spaced over several weeks. A comprehensive plan that includes Invisalign, whitening, and veneers is sequenced over a longer period. Dr. Davis outlines the full timeline at your initial consultation.
Can cosmetic dentistry fix a gummy smile?
In some cases, yes. When excess gum tissue makes teeth appear shorter than they are, crown lengthening — a procedure that reshapes the gumline to reveal more of the natural tooth — can improve the balance of the smile. This is often done in coordination with veneers or other cosmetic work. Dr. Davis evaluates the gum-to-tooth ratio as part of any comprehensive smile assessment.
