Decay, injuries, dark beverages, and more can create numerous dental flaws. Drs. Pendergrass and Wilkie can combine their aesthetic eye and technical dental knowledge to address cosmetic imperfections for a healthier and better-looking smile.

Honestly, this is the best and friendliest office in town. I had to bring my toddler with me to my teeth-cleaning appointment today and the staff was all so kind and understanding with her, they even sent her home with her own princess toothbrush. They go above and beyond to get to know their patients and it's always a positive experience.

Best experience I have had with a dental office!

The staff - hygienists, appointment scheduler, insurance clerk , and dentists - is always courteous and devote full attention to the patient. I live in Mesa, AZ but try to come all the way to Amarillo twice a year...Dr. Pendergrass constantly asking if I am having any pain, and more than willing to make sure I am totally comfortable throughout whatever procedure he is doing. I highly recommend this practice to anyone!
View On GoogleFeatured Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures
Many procedures in our comprehensive list of restorative and cosmetic solutions address both functional and aesthetic concerns when it comes to your smile. Here are some of the most popular procedures we proudly offer to our Amarillo patients:
Dental Implants
Dental implants are titanium rods that act as long-lasting artificial tooth roots. Once they fuse with the bone, the posts support high-quality restorations like crowns, bridges, and dentures. Our dentists surgically place implants into your jawbone where teeth are missing.
Dental Crowns
These customized tooth-shaped "caps" restore and protect damaged teeth. Our dentists can design, create, and place top-quality porcelain crowns during one appointment using our on-site CEREC digital software and milling machine.
Dentures
Dentures can replace an entire or partial arch of teeth. Drs. Pendergrass and Wilkie provide both traditional and implant-supported dentures at our Amarillo practice. Dentures supported by implants are more secure than traditional types and better for your health.
Porcelain Veneers
These thin but strong porcelain shells are bonded to one or more front teeth to instantly improve their appearance. Our dentists can customize each veneer by size, shape, and shade.
The Veneers Placement Procedure
A veneer can instantly change the appearance of a compromised tooth from flawed to flawless.

Am I a Good Candidate
For Cosmetic Dentistry?
Our practice in Amarillo, TX, may recommend this type of dentistry if:
You Want an Enhanced Smile
Everyone wants to feel confident in their smile. If minor flaws are holding you back from showing off yours to the world, we can develop a personalized treatment plan that helps you look your best.
You Are in Good Oral Health
Cosmetic dentistry needs the foundation of a strong, healthy smile. Tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health conditions should be treated before undergoing any cosmetic dentistry procedures.
You Have Realistic Expectations
A brighter, refined smile can help boost your confidence, but it's important to stay realistic about your new smile. From treatment timelines and results to aftercare and beyond, we’ll explain what to expect for every step of the process.
Smile Makeover vs. Full Mouth Reconstruction
Which Is Right for Me?
While many of the same techniques are used for both kinds of treatment, the reason for each is unique. A full mouth reconstruction prioritizes restoring oral health and function, while a smile makeover is cosmetic in nature and works to improve your smile’s appearance.
We are happy to help you understand all of your options when it comes to your long-term health, wellbeing, and quality of life.

What You Can Expect
Are You Anxious About Getting Dental Work Done?
We Can Help You Feel at Ease
If you're concerned that revitalizing the appearance of your smile will cause you discomfort or be a painful process, you’re not alone. Fortunately, most cosmetic treatments are fairly simple. However, we understand that some individuals may feel a degree of dental phobia when it comes to visiting the dentist in general. That’s where sedation comes into play.
Our safe, effective sedation options can give you the peace of mind you’re looking for when undergoing a restorative procedure, a cosmetic treatment, or a custom smile makeover. For more information about how we can ensure your comfort and deep relaxation every step of the way, get in touch with our practice today.
Maintaining Your Smile
After Cosmetic Treatment in Amarillo, TX
Patients often ask about what they can do to keep their smiles beautiful following their cosmetic dentistry treatment. Here are some aftercare tips to keep in mind:
Maintaining your oral health is among the most important steps in keeping up a dazzling smile. We recommend brushing with a soft-bristle brush twice a day as well as flossing daily to help prevent cavities and gum disease.
Refrain from biting your nails, opening packages, and other activities that can cause damage. Additionally, be mindful when you eat especially sticky or hard foods, as they can cause a dental restoration to chip or crack.
Patients should live a tobacco-free lifestyle or be willing to quit. Smoking and tobacco products at large don’t just take a toll on your cosmetic dentistry results; they negatively impact your oral and overall health.
Avoid or cut back on foods and drinks that can cause tooth discoloration, such as coffee and red wine. When you do indulge, make sure to brush soon after to minimize staining.
Protect your oral health by visiting a dentist regularly. Our team in Amarillo, TX, can help catch and treat issues before they snowball into bigger problems.
