Washington, DC Cosmetic Dentistry, Previewed First
See the result before we touch a tooth.

Maybe it is a chipped front tooth you have learned to angle away from the camera. Maybe your teeth have worn shorter over the years, or the color never quite responded to whitening strips. Whatever brought you here, you probably want to know what a change would look like before you commit to it.
Washington, DC cosmetic dentistry at DCStylishSmile is designed digitally first: we map your face, photograph your smile, build a simulation of the result, and refine it with you until it looks like you at your best. Treatment follows the plan you have already seen.
What a smile design visit looks like here
Every cosmetic case at our K Street office begins with a complimentary cosmetic consultation and a digital blueprint of your smile.
You leave the consultation with a preview, a plan, and a clear picture of your investment, all before a single tooth is prepared.
Why do we design your smile around your whole face?
A smile that looks right in the mirror can still look wrong in a photograph if it ignores the face around it. Here is how we avoid that.
Fifteen years of digital smile design
Dr. Bukai was an early adopter of Digital Smile Design and brings more than 15 years of experience in digital planning and advanced restorative dentistry to every case. The simulation you see is built by the dentist who will do the work.
Function checked before aesthetics
Worn, chipped, or shortened teeth often trace back to the bite. A functional and occlusal analysis comes before any veneer is planned, and if grinding, jaw strain, or airway issues are behind the wear, our dental sleep medicine and TMD care can address the cause so your new smile lasts.
Materials chosen with your body in mind
Our whole-health approach extends to what we place in your mouth. We favor biocompatible, metal-free restorations where clinically appropriate and use digital workflows to reduce exposure.
Join the WaitlistWhat will cosmetic treatment cost?
The honest answer is that it depends on which treatments your plan includes and how many teeth are involved, so we do not quote a single price. What we can promise is a clear figure after your consultation, before anything starts. For treatment beyond what insurance covers, we offer CareCredit, Sunbit, and Proceed Financial, and our in-house DCStylishSmile Membership gives members a discount on care.

In their own words.
-
I was previously hiding my smile. Dr. Bukai explained my treatment plan in layman’s terms and made me feel more and more comfortable. My new crowns are AMAZING. Dr. Bukai is like Michelangelo.
Max B. -
Three dentists before Dr. Bukai couldn’t find a solution. Dr. Bukai had one right away. One single visit, no extra costs, no sales pitches. No pain during and after. His human sensibility to know what to do — and his continued dental education — did not hurt in my case either.
Michael M. -
Dr. Bukai and his staff are always very accommodating especially when I have an issue with my teeth. Whenever I consider going to a dentist that is closer to me I always remember their service and tell myself, “Nah! Why should I want to do that!"

Frequently asked questions
How much does Washington, DC cosmetic dentistry cost?
There is no set price, because a single bonded chip and a ten-veneer makeover are very different plans. After your complimentary cosmetic consultation, you will have an exact figure for your case before treatment begins. CareCredit, Sunbit, and Proceed Financial are available for larger plans, and members of our in-house plan receive a discount on treatment.
Am I a candidate for veneers, bonding, or aligners?
A consultation is the only reliable way to know. Digital scans, photography, and a Digital Smile Design simulation show you realistic options and the trade-offs of each, and a bite and airway check confirms the result will hold up. Some patients expecting veneers end up with a simpler plan, and some discover their teeth need to move before they can be reshaped.
How long does a smile makeover take?
It varies with the plan. Whitening and bonding can be completed quickly, veneers typically take a few visits from design to placement, and Invisalign runs over months. At your consultation, you will get a timeline for your specific case, with each step in order.
Does insurance cover cosmetic treatment?
Coverage varies by plan and by procedure, and treatment that is purely cosmetic is often excluded. We verify your benefits before your appointment and explain what your plan will and will not cover, so nothing about the number surprises you.
How do I take care of veneers and bonding afterward?
Much like natural teeth: brush, floss, and keep your regular cleanings. If you clench or grind, we will talk about protecting your investment, since the same forces that wore your original teeth can wear restorations. Dr. Bukai checks your new smile at follow-up visits and adjusts anything that needs it.
