Veneers are very thin dental prostheses that are designed to fit over your teeth and replace the front chewing surface. Veneers can cover up most flaws in your smile, such as stains, misshapen teeth, and gaps. They look and feel completely natural. Having veneers placed usually requires only two appointments over the span of 2-3 weeks, so you can get results quickly.
Veneers have many benefits:
Dental crowns are prosthetic teeth that can be used to cover an existing tooth structure or to fill in a gap where a missing tooth may be. At Santo Dental Group, we custom match each crown to your smile to ensure it is undetectable.
Crowns are frequently used to restore and protect a damaged tooth after a root canal. They also help strengthen your tooth and protect it from further damage, allowing you to chew, eat, and speak normally once again. Crowns are also commonly used in conjunction with dental implants to create beautiful, strong restorations. And because crowns can last up to 15+ years with proper care, you’ll be able to enjoy your smile, carefree. Similar to veneers, no special care is required. Keep brushing, flossing, and coming in to our Red Bank office for your regular exams and cleanings.
Despite our best efforts, teeth can easily become stained due to drinking coffee and tea, using tobacco products, and the natural aging process. Professional whitening treatments ensure an effective, safe way to restore and improve the beauty of your smile. Whitening your teeth can help you look more youthful and boost your confidence. Whether you have an important event coming up, or simply have been longing for a whiter smile, consider whitening at Santo Dental Group!
Here at SDG we are an exclusive KöR Whitening provider. We believe KöR has the best long term result while being the most gentle, this limits the sensitivity some patients feel. This product has the ability to whiten even tetracycline stained teeth.
At Santo Dental Group, we offer dental bonding to help correct cosmetic issues with your smile and improve your self-esteem and self-confidence. Dental bonding uses a tooth-colored resin to reshape your smile and cover up issues like minor chips in your teeth, discolored teeth, gaps in your smile, and misshapen teeth.
The process of bonding is completely non-invasive. One of our Red Bank dentists will simply apply a tooth-colored resin directly to your tooth after it has been roughened with a special acid solution. There is no need to drill away any enamel, so your mouth does not even need to be numbed.
Then, the resin will be shaped and sculpted to restore the size, color, and shape of your tooth. Once the overall shape looks right, your dentist will harden it with a UV light, and trim it with a drill to ensure the tooth looks perfect. Then, your tooth will be polished and you’ll be sent home. You can also have multiple teeth bonded in one appointment, since it usually takes only 30-60 minutes per tooth.
Shaping and contouring, which is also called “enameloplasty,” is often used alongside dental bonding. In this treatment, a very small amount of enamel is trimmed away from one or more of your teeth. This is done to correct problems like pointed and uneven teeth or to remove minor chipping to straighten out your smile. The process of shaping & contouring is non-invasive, and helps provide you with a more pleasing overall smile.
Dental bonding, shaping & contouring have a number of great benefits. First, these treatments are completely non-invasive. Since dental bonding does not require the removal of a large amount of enamel, unlike veneers, this procedure is reversible, and it’s also much less invasive.
In addition, bonding, shaping & contouring are also relatively inexpensive compared to other cosmetic dental treatments. If you are on a tight budget and can’t afford veneers, dental bonding along with shaping and contouring can help you improve your smile without breaking the bank.
Another great benefit is the overall speed of treatment. It typically takes about 2-3 weeks to have veneers made and placed, while bonding, shaping & contouring can be done in just a single appointment.

Thinking about enhancing your smile but not sure which treatment fits? Below are answers to the questions our Red Bank patients ask most about cosmetic dentistry. If your question isn’t covered here, we’re glad to talk it through, just give us a call or schedule a consultation.
It depends on the concern you’re addressing and your goals. Dental bonding applies a tooth-colored resin directly to the tooth, typically in a single visit. It’s generally non-invasive and may be a more budget-friendly option, often considered for minor chips, small gaps, and reshaping one or a few teeth.
Veneers are thin porcelain shells custom-made over approximately 2 to 3 weeks. They tend to be more stain-resistant and may last longer than bonding, and they’re often considered for more significant cosmetic changes or a more uniform full-smile improvement. At a smile consultation, Dr. Marcus Santo, Dr. Michael Santo, or Dr. Meaghan P. McCormick can help you evaluate durability, appearance, and budget to determine what may be appropriate for your situation.
Pricing depends on the treatment, how many teeth are involved, and the specifics of your case, so a meaningful estimate comes from an in-person consultation.
Because most cosmetic treatments are considered elective, they are generally not covered by insurance. Financing options such as CareCredit may be available, and pricing will be reviewed with you before any treatment begins.
The longevity of cosmetic dental work varies by treatment type, individual habits, and how well home care and regular visits are maintained. General ranges often cited include:
Habits such as nail-biting or using teeth to open packaging can shorten the lifespan of any dental work.
It depends on the type and cause of the staining, which is best assessed at a consultation. Certain deep or intrinsic stains, including those from tetracycline, coffee and tea, or age-related discoloration, may respond well to KöR whitening in appropriate candidates. KöR is designed to penetrate below the surface to address staining that over-the-counter products typically cannot reach.
If discoloration is accompanied by chips, worn edges, or shape and spacing concerns, or if teeth do not respond sufficiently to whitening, veneers may be worth discussing as an option that can address both color and shape. A consultation is the appropriate starting point to determine which approach, or combination of approaches, may be suitable for your specific situation.
Many cosmetic treatments, including bonding, contouring, whitening, and veneers, are generally well-tolerated and minimally invasive, and sedation is often not required. Bonding, for example, frequently does not require numbing because no enamel is removed.
If dental visits cause anxiety, or if you are considering a longer smile-makeover appointment, mentioning this at your consultation allows the team to discuss available comfort options. Call 732-530-1003 to talk through what may work best for you.
KöR whitening is designed to provide long-lasting results. With a simple maintenance routine, typically wearing custom trays approximately one night a month, results may be maintained over time, though individual outcomes vary.
KöR is also one of the more sensitivity-conscious professional whitening systems available. It includes desensitizing agents and was developed with sensitive patients in mind, which is one reason it was selected as the practice’s whitening system of choice. Patients with a history of sensitivity are encouraged to mention it at their consultation so the regimen can be adjusted appropriately for their comfort.
