Glendale, Arizona
Cosmetic Dentist in Glendale, AZ
SmileScience Dental Spa combines advanced digital technology with skilled artistry to reshape, brighten, and perfect your smile. Dr. Turke leads our cosmetic program with CAD/CAM same-day restorations and in-house lab capability.
What Is Cosmetic Dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry focuses on the appearance of your teeth, gums, and bite. Unlike restorative dentistry, which repairs function, cosmetic procedures are designed to improve color, shape, size, alignment, and overall smile aesthetics. At SmileScience, many of our treatments serve both purposes at once: a porcelain crown restores a broken tooth and looks completely natural, while Invisalign straightens teeth and improves long-term bite health.
Cosmetic Services We Offer
Porcelain Veneers
Thin ceramic shells bonded to the front surface of teeth to correct shape, color, gaps, and minor alignment issues. Dr. Turke designs each veneer digitally so the shade and contour complement your facial features before any tooth preparation occurs. Most cases are complete in two visits.
Professional Teeth Whitening
In-office and take-home whitening systems that lift stains caused by coffee, wine, tea, and aging well beyond what over-the-counter products achieve. We match the whitening protocol to your sensitivity level and desired result, then provide touch-up trays to maintain brightness at home.
Dental Bonding
Composite resin applied and sculpted directly to the tooth to repair chips, close small gaps, lengthen worn edges, or cover surface discoloration -- often in a single appointment with no anesthesia required. Bonding is an affordable first step for many patients before considering veneers.
Smile Makeover
A coordinated treatment plan combining two or more cosmetic procedures to achieve a comprehensive transformation. Dr. Turke sequences treatments logically -- whitening before bonding, structural work before final restorations -- and previews the outcome digitally so you see the result before any work begins.
Digital Smile Design
We photograph and digitally map your facial proportions to create an on-screen preview of your finished smile. This design blueprint guides veneer shape, crown shade, and gum line adjustments so every element is planned before any tooth preparation takes place.
CAD/CAM Same-Day Crowns
Dr. Turke mills porcelain crowns in-office with our CEREC unit. No temporaries, no second appointment, and a precise fit verified digitally before placement. The all-ceramic material matches surrounding teeth so the restoration is virtually indistinguishable from natural enamel.
Gum Contouring
Uneven or excessive gum tissue can make otherwise healthy teeth appear short or asymmetrical. Laser-assisted gum contouring reshapes the gum line to reveal more tooth surface and balance your smile. The procedure is minimally invasive and usually requires only topical or light local anesthetic.
Composite Veneers
Direct composite veneers offer many of the same aesthetic benefits as porcelain at a lower cost and with no tooth reduction in most cases. Dr. Turke layers and polishes composite resin to create a smooth, lifelike surface. An excellent option for younger patients or those who want to trial a new look before committing to porcelain.

What Our Patients Say
4.9 (437 reviews)
I recently had the pleasure of visiting Smile Science Dental Spa, and I couldn't be more impressed with the level of care and service provided by the entire team. Dr. Dawson and Dr. Turke are both incredibly skilled and made me feel completely at ease throughout my procedures. Their professionalism, combined with their gentle approach, made me feel comfortable and well-informed every step of the way. I was especially impressed that I was able to get a same-day crown(apparently their first ever!), which exceeded my expectations. I couldn’t believe how quick and seamless the process was. It really saved me time and made the experience even more convenient. Cindiray and Angeles, the dental assistants, were equally wonderful. They were not only friendly and attentive but also thorough in explaining everything and made sure I was relaxed during each phase of my visit. Lastly, a big thank you to Litzy at the front desk, who greeted me with a smile and helped with scheduling and any questions I had. She made the entire check-in process a breeze. From start to finish, my experience at Smile Science Dental Spa was exceptional. I'll be returning for sure. I highly, highly, highly recommend them for anyone looking for high-quality dental care.

Honestly I’ve never been so happy to go to the dentist. I came in (late due to Lyft) and was still taken care of and treated with care. Even without insurance (kicking in within the next month) prices for an extraction on my infected tooth were more than reasonable. I was able to get more than expected done in the same visit. Dr. Dawson and his team made me feel so comfortable and taken care of. Won’t go anywhere else.

Myself and my family had previously gone to Dr. Turk at another dental office that he worked at. He had relocated and we did not know where he had gone to until this week. Today I got in with Dr. Turk and he took the time to look at my x-rays carefully . I was having pain from a tooth and some other issues. The previous Dentist I went to that I saw just a few days earlier, he did not find any issues with my tooth which I had pain in. Dr. Turk identified infection and referred me to an endodontist. He is very gentle as a wonderful disposition and my self and my family are thrilled to be able to get back with him. The office is lovely, relaxing music, heat and massage chair.I have always been very nervous and some anxiety going to dentist as I have had bad reactions with the anesthesia. I am confident that Dr. Kirk will help me get through my next appointment just fine. “The staff are very kind and attentive. I am looking forward as I have quite a bit of work to be done, and I know I’m in good hands with Dr. Turk and his staff. Five stars!⭐️ Sherry

I recently moved to Arizona and had an issue with a tooth repair from 15 years back. Not knowing anyone here in my new home, I searched dentists close to me. I chose Smile Science much like pinning the tail on the donkey and my selection couldn't have been better! What a terrific staff! Dr. Turke was concerned the tooth would need to be extracted, but said he wanted to take a shot at saving it..and that's just what he did! After setting a temporary crown, I was on my way with an appointment to install the permanent crown in the following two weeks. That evening I received a call I've never received from a dentist. Dr. Turke had taken the time to follow up with me to make sure I wasn't in any discomfort..I was completely caught off guard by this kind of attention to detail and caring for my well being. The permanent crown is now in place, it fits and feels fantastic, the job and treatment are first class! Thank you, Dr. Turke and staff for taking in this stray and giving me a home dentist! I'd like to say that I'm just good at selecting blindly, but the truth is I am very lucky..and I'll take lucky over being good any day of the week! Thank you, again and Happiest of New Year's in 2026, Science Smile!!

Who Is a Good Candidate for Cosmetic Dentistry?
Cosmetic procedures require a healthy foundation -- active gum disease, tooth decay, or grinding habits need to be addressed first. Patients with significant enamel erosion may not be ideal candidates for porcelain veneers. We will evaluate your oral health at your consultation and recommend the right sequence of treatment.
Good Candidate Indicators
- ✓ Healthy gums with no active periodontal disease
- ✓ No untreated cavities or active decay
- ✓ Sufficient natural tooth enamel present
- ✓ Realistic goals and expectations discussed at consultation
- ✓ Committed to ongoing dental maintenance
Conditions to Resolve First
- › Bruxism (grinding/clenching): A night guard and bite evaluation should precede or accompany cosmetic work to protect restorations.
- › Active gum disease: Periodontal health must be stabilized before any cosmetic procedure.
- › Active tooth decay: Cavities are addressed before cosmetic restorations are placed to ensure a lasting foundation.

Frequently Asked Questions
The best treatment depends on what you want to change: color, shape, chips, gaps, or alignment. A consultation with Dr. Turke covers all of these systematically so you leave with a clear plan rather than a sales pitch.
Most cosmetic procedures require little or no anesthesia. For veneer preparation or crown work, local anesthetic is used. Patients who prefer sedation can opt for oral sedation or IV sedation with Dr. Dawson.
Purely cosmetic treatments (whitening, veneers) are typically not covered by dental insurance. Procedures that also restore function (crowns, bonding on broken teeth) may receive partial coverage. Our team reviews your benefits before any treatment begins.
Porcelain veneers typically last 10 to 20 years with proper care. CAD/CAM crowns are similarly durable. Bonding may need touch-ups at 5 to 10 years. Whitening results vary by diet and habits but can be maintained with periodic touch-up trays.
Yes. We accept CareCredit and Sunbit, both of which offer low- and no-interest payment plans. Ask our front desk for current promotional terms at your consultation.
A typical porcelain veneer case moves through two or three appointments spanning two to three weeks. The first visit covers your consultation and digital design; the second involves tooth preparation and placement of temporary veneers while your final restorations are milled; the third is the bonding appointment. Patients who opt for no-prep composite veneers may complete the process in a single extended visit, depending on the number of teeth involved.
Whitening agents work only on natural tooth enamel, not on composite resin or porcelain. If you have bonding or veneers and want a brighter overall smile, the recommended approach is to whiten your natural teeth first and then have the restorations replaced at the new shade. This is why we typically recommend completing any whitening before placing bonding or veneers -- it sets a stable baseline shade that your restorations can match.
Digital smile design (DSD) is a planning workflow that starts with high-resolution photos and short video clips of your face and smile. Dr. Turke uses specialized software to overlay digital tooth shapes onto your facial proportions, then adjusts size, length, midline, and shade on-screen. You see the proposed result as a visual mock-up before any clinical work begins. For more complex cases, a physical wax-up or a printed trial smile can be placed over your existing teeth so you can literally preview the result in the mirror. DSD reduces guesswork and ensures the final outcome matches your expectations.
