Not every smile concern needs the same fix. Some patients are dealing with a single chipped or discolored tooth. Others want straighter teeth without traditional metal braces. Some are looking at a more complete transformation involving several teeth at once. Cosmetic dentistry isn't a single treatment, it's a category of options that can be combined or used individually depending on what a patient actually wants to change.
Elevate offers a full range of cosmetic treatments, each suited to different goals and starting points:
During a consultation, Dr. Mashini will walk through which of these fit your specific goals, and just as importantly, which ones don't, since a conservative recommendation is often the better long-term choice. Many patients come in assuming they need one specific treatment, veneers, for example, when whitening and minor bonding would actually accomplish the same goal with far less alteration to the natural tooth.
It's easy to assume more cosmetic work automatically means a better result, but that's not always true. Dr. Mashini's approach favors the most conservative treatment that still meets a patient's goals, whitening before veneers when that's sufficient, bonding before a more invasive procedure when it will hold up just as well. That perspective comes from a broad base of clinical experience across implant, cosmetic, Invisalign, endodontic, and restorative dentistry, which means recommendations are grounded in what will actually last, not just what looks good in the short term. It also means cosmetic treatment is planned with an eye toward the health of the tooth underneath, not just its appearance, since a cosmetic result that compromises the tooth's long-term structure isn't a good outcome even if it looks appealing at first.
Cosmetic care at Elevate is led by Dr. Michael Mashini, DDS, a Michigan-licensed dentist and Michigan Dental Association member with more than ten years of clinical experience. His pursuit of continuing education in cosmetic dentistry, Invisalign, and restorative work reflects a longstanding focus on how smiles look as well as how they function. During his years with Aspen Dental, he refined that eye across a high volume of cases. He returned to Clinton Township to build a practice where cosmetic care is thoughtful and personal.
Patients also benefit from his gentle, comfort-first anesthetic approach, which matters even in cosmetic cases that involve some numbing, like bonding or veneer preparation. After years of practicing elsewhere, Dr. Mashini returned to his hometown to open Elevate, bringing that cosmetic expertise to Clinton Township.
A cosmetic consultation starts with a conversation about what you'd like to change and why, whether that's a specific tooth that bothers you or a broader desire for a straighter, whiter, more even smile. From there, Dr. Mashini evaluates your teeth and bite to determine which treatments are realistic options, and walks through the tradeoffs between them, including how long each option typically takes and what maintenance it requires afterward. If X-rays or a closer look at your bite are needed to fully evaluate a case, that typically happens during the same visit, so you leave with a clear picture rather than needing to schedule a separate appointment just to get an answer.
Cosmetic concerns can feel more personal than other dental issues, and some patients feel a little self-conscious bringing them up. Elevate's consultations are built to be judgment-free: there's no assumption that you need to justify wanting a change, and no pressure to commit to more treatment than you're comfortable with. The goal is simply to give you clear, honest information about your options, whether the concern is something you've thought about for years or a change you're only now considering.
Cosmetic goals don't all move at the same pace. Whitening can often deliver a noticeable change quickly, while Invisalign or a full smile makeover unfolds over a longer, more gradual timeline. Some patients want to address one concern at a time as it fits their schedule; others prefer to plan out a complete transformation from the start. Dr. Mashini will help map out a realistic sequence and timeline based on what you're hoping to achieve, rather than assuming a one-size-fits-all approach.
