It’s a fact of life: the appearance of our smiles changes as we go through life. Enamel erodes. Foods and beverages stain our teeth. Small flaws accumulate making us ashamed to smile broadly or laugh in public. Dr. Stacy Goodwill and Dr. Courtney Gieseke understand that how you feel about your smile affects how you feel about yourself. To help patients just like you, they offer several aesthetic dental services which can change the shape, color, and alignment of your smile for a whole new look. Your cosmetic dentists in Fargo will help you decide what’s best for you.
It Begins with a Conversation
That’s what a cosmetic dentistsry consultation at Cornerstone Dental really is–a friendly discussion between your dentists and you. You can tell the doctor how you would like your smile to change, and Dr. Goodwill or Dr. Gieseke will show you how to achieve your goals.
She’ll examine your teeth and gums to make sure your oral health is good. Then, she may take X-rays and other kinds of imaging to get the fullest picture possible of your dental alignment and bone structure. After that, she’ll present you with a treatment plan which outlines options for correcting flaws and optimizing your smile’s strengths.
Offered Cosmetic Services
Here are the services your Cornerstone Dental delivers. You may need just one, or several depending on your preference and budget.
At-home teeth whitening
Professional teeth whitening is the safest and most effective way to brighten teeth dulled by years of smoking, coffee drinking or poor oral hygiene. Using pre-filled whitening trays, the patient applies a powerful bleaching gel to his or her teeth at home for a prescribed amount of time daily. The gel lifts out accumulated organic matter, leaving a smile that’s brighter by several shades. Patients maintain their renewed look with conscientious brushing and flossing at home and with six-month cleanings at Cornerstone Dental.
Porcelain veneers
Customized shells of fine ceramic cover the front side of teeth marred by deep stains, gaps, chips, and cracks. A permanent refurbishment, veneers require removal of a small portion of enamel to optimize the bonding process and ensure an accurate fit. They require routine brushing and flossing and common sense eating habits–no chewing on ice cubes or biting on caramels or extra-hard foods.
White fillings
These composite resin fillings combine the best of restorative and cosmetic dentistsry. They restore decay seamlessly, bonding directly to existing healthy tooth structure. The tooth-colored material if virtually indistinguishable from the enamel.
CEREC crowns
Produced in just about an hour, these same-day restorations are custom-made right in the treatment room according to your dentists’s instructions and your digital oral impression. So realistic and accurate, they usually fit and bite perfectly with little to no adjustment.
Dental implants
Smile gaps disappear with realistic dental implants. Placed right into the patient’s jaw, the dental implant features a metal post and porcelain crown so lifelike, the patient has normal oral function and appearance. Plus, the dental implant lasts for decades with routine dental care.

It’ll change your life. That’s the heart of cosmetic dentistsry from Dr. Goodwill and Dr. Gieseke. For more information, contact Cornerstone Dental to arrange your own cosmetic dentistsry consultation.
