Our Approach to Cosmetic Dentistry

Great cosmetic results don’t happen by accident. They’re the product of careful planning, an eye for aesthetics, and the right technology.

At our Danville practice, every cosmetic case begins with a detailed consultation where Dr. Kriston examines your teeth, photographs your smile, and — most importantly — listens to what you want to change. From there, he uses digital smile design tools and a Medit intraoral scanner to create a precise 3D model of your mouth and preview potential results before any treatment begins.

This means you’re never guessing what your new smile will look like. You see it, you give input, and you approve the design before we start. It’s cosmetic dentistry planned from the final result backward — the same restorative-driven philosophy that guides everything we do.

Cosmetic Dentistry vs. Aesthetic Dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry and aesthetic dentistry are often used interchangeably, but to Dr. Kriston, the difference in language reflects a difference in philosophy. Cosmetic implies covering up — like applying makeup to conceal what’s underneath. Aesthetic is something deeper. It’s the pursuit of natural beauty — studying the proportions, symmetry, color, and harmony that occur in nature and applying those principles to your smile.

The goal isn’t to mask your teeth behind something artificial. It’s to reveal or recreate the beauty that nature intended — teeth that look real, not “done,” because they follow the same rules of proportion and balance that make a face, a flower, or a sunset beautiful. Whether you’re searching for a cosmetic dentist or an aesthetic dentist in Danville, at Michael Kriston DDS you’ve found a practice where the standard is nature itself.

What to Expect at Your Cosmetic Consultation

Your first visit is about understanding what you want, not about pressure to start treatment. Here’s what a cosmetic consultation with Dr. Kriston looks like:

‍We start by listening. What bothers you about your smile? What would you change if you could change anything? What’s your timeline and budget? These questions matter more than any X-ray.

‍We examine and photograph your smile. Dr. Kriston evaluates the health, alignment, color, and proportions of your teeth and gums. He photographs your smile from multiple angles to use in designing your treatment plan.

‍We discuss options. Based on your goals and your clinical situation, Dr. Kriston will explain which treatments would deliver the result you’re looking for, what each involves, and what you can realistically expect.

‍We show you possibilities. Using digital tools, we can preview potential results so you have a clear picture of what’s possible before making any decisions.

There’s no obligation and no rush. Many patients schedule a consultation just to explore their options — and that’s exactly what this visit is designed for.

Why Patients in Danville Choose Michael Kriston DDS for Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry is as much about artistry as it is about clinical skill. The difference between a result that looks natural and one that looks “done” comes down to the experience and aesthetic judgment of the dentist.

Dr. Kriston brings 38 years of hands-on experience to every cosmetic case. He’s refined his approach over thousands of restorations, developing an eye for the subtle details that make a smile look authentically beautiful — not just technically correct. That experience, combined with advanced digital technology, means patients receive results that are both precise and personal.

Beyond cosmetics, Dr. Kriston also provides implant restorations, gentle extractions, bone grafting, and oral conscious sedation — so if your cosmetic goals require more than surface-level treatment, you don’t need to be referred somewhere else. Your entire journey can happen in one Danville practice, guided by one doctor who knows your case from the first conversation.

Your smile tells a story before you ever say a word. It’s the first thing people notice in a conversation, in a photograph, in a job interview. And when something about your smile bothers you — a chip, a stain, a gap, teeth that just don’t look the way you want them to — it’s hard not to think about it every time you open your mouth.

At Michael Kriston DDS in Danville, cosmetic dentistry isn’t about creating perfect, cookie-cutter smiles. It’s about understanding what bothers you, what you wish were different, and designing a result that looks like the best version of you — natural, confident, and unmistakably yours.

Dr. Kriston has been practicing dentistry since 1987 — more than 38 years of experience creating smiles that patients love. That experience means he’s seen virtually every cosmetic concern, and he knows which approach will deliver the best result for your specific situation. Whether you need a subtle refinement or a complete smile transformation, every treatment plan starts with listening to you.

Technology That Makes a Difference

The tools a dentist uses directly impact the quality and predictability of your cosmetic result. At Michael Kriston DDS, we’ve invested in technology that takes the guesswork out of cosmetic dentistry:

‍Medit Intraoral Scanner: No more messy, uncomfortable impressions. Our digital scanner captures a precise 3D model of your teeth in minutes, creating the foundation for perfectly fitting veneers, crowns, and other restorations. It also enables digital smile design, so you can preview your new smile before treatment begins.

‍Carestream 3D CBCT Imaging: For complex cases involving implant restorations or full mouth reconstruction, our cone beam CT scanner provides detailed 3D views of your teeth, jawbone, and surrounding structures. This allows Dr. Kriston to plan treatment with a level of precision that traditional X-rays simply can’t match.

‍Digital Smile Design: Before you commit to any cosmetic treatment, we can show you a digital preview of your potential results. This collaborative process lets you provide input and refine the design until it’s exactly what you envisioned.
