How We Approach Your Smile Goals
Cosmetic dentistry works best when it starts with your goals, not a generic checklist. We ask what you’d like to change, whether that’s the shade of your teeth, the shape of a chipped edge, or how your smile looks in photos. From there, we walk through what’s realistic and what tradeoffs come with each option.
A few things shape how we plan your visit:
- What do you want to see differently when you smile
- Any concerns about comfort or sensitivity
- How much time and upkeep are you willing to commit to

What Makes Lush Dental Co. a Cosmetic Dentist Near Lehi Worth Visiting
We don’t push treatments you don’t need. If whitening alone gets you where you want to be, we’ll say that plainly. If a more involved fix would better protect your tooth structure in the long run, we’ll explain why that route makes sense, too. Cosmetic dentistry should fit your life and your budget, not the other way around.
Dr. Shauniell Dearing leads these conversations with a focus on outcomes that hold up over time. You can read more about her approach on her profile page before your first visit if you’d like a sense of who you’ll be working with.
Common Cosmetic Concerns We Help With
Most patients come to us with one of a few recurring concerns. Some want a brighter, more even shade across their teeth. Others are dealing with a chip, gap, or wear pattern that’s started to bother them. And some simply want their smile to look more balanced overall.
We treat each of these differently depending on what’s causing them and what result you’re after. A look at our full range of cosmetic dentistry services gives a clearer picture of the specific options we offer, from conservative adjustments to more comprehensive work.
What Happens During Your First Visit
Your first appointment is mostly about gathering information and talking through possibilities. We’ll review your dental history, take some photos and imaging, and ask detailed questions about what you’d like to change. By the end, you’ll have a written plan that lays out your options, what each one involves, and roughly how long treatment might take.
This visit typically covers:
- A review of your smile goals and any concerns
- Imaging to map out your current dental structure
- A written summary of recommended options and next steps
If something comes up unexpectedly, like a cracked tooth or sudden pain, our emergency dentistry services are there to get you seen and address the issue before it affects your cosmetic plans.
Keeping Your Results Looking Good Long Term
Cosmetic work holds up best with some ongoing care. Whitening can fade, edges can wear, and gum lines can shift slightly over the years. We talk with you about what kind of maintenance fits your specific treatment so your results don’t catch you off guard down the road.
For patients who want a more predictable rhythm to their care, we offer a membership program that some patients find helpful for staying on top of regular visits.
Finding Us From Lehi
Our office sits in Highland, a short drive from Lehi, and is easy to reach from most of the surrounding area. You can pull up directions and get a feel for the location in advance through our map listing. We see patients from across the area, and getting here for a consultation is usually a quick trip.
A Note on Restorative Work
Cosmetic goals sometimes overlap with structural ones. If a tooth needs strengthening before it can be reshaped or whitened safely, we’ll walk you through that step first. Our restorative dentistry services cover the groundwork that sometimes needs to happen before the cosmetic phase begins, so your results last.
