Here in Reno and the surrounding Basin, life is lived outdoors and with passion. If you find yourself holding back your smile in photos or conversations because of chips, stains, or gaps, you’re missing out on sharing your full confidence.
At Great Basin Dental, Dr. Tony Guillen and Dr. Kristian Sievert believe a smile you love is a vital part of your well-being. Our cosmetic dentistry isn’t about creating a “perfect” uniform look. It’s about listening to your goals and applying our artistry to reveal a smile that feels authentically you. We focus on conservative, effective treatments that fit your life and restore your confidence to shine in every setting.
Your Personalized Cosmetic Treatment Options
We offer a range of solutions because every smile is unique. During your consultation, we’ll explain all options and recommend what’s right for your situation, budget, and timeline.
Porcelain Veneers: The Durable, Seamless Transformation
Porcelain veneers are custom-made, ultra-thin shields of high-strength porcelain that we bond to the front of your teeth. They’re the gold standard for transforming multiple concerns at once.
Veneers are best for discoloration that whitening can’t fix, small chips, slight gaps, or mildly crooked teeth. We work with a trusted lab to craft veneers that match the natural light-reflecting quality of your enamel. They’re highly stain-resistant (so your coffee habit is safe) and incredibly durable. Built to last for well over a decade while you enjoy everything Northern Nevada has to offer.
In Dr. Sievert’s Words: “It’s about giving you a smile that’s as resilient and ready for adventure as you are.”
Professional Teeth Whitening: Dramatic Results, Done Right
Store-bought kits can’t compare to the power, safety, and speed of professional teeth whitening. We use potent, professional-grade gels that break down deep-set stains from coffee, wine, and years of living well.
Professional whitening is best for brightening a healthy smile that’s become yellowed or dulled over time. Get noticeable, multi-shade results in about an hour with our in-office treatment, or we can provide a professional-grade take-home kit for more gradual whitening on your schedule. We ensure your gums are protected and your results are even and brilliant. You’ll get a whiter smile that lets you grin with confidence in every photo and conversation.
Dental Bonding: The Artful Quick Fix
For minor imperfections, dental bonding is a fast, affordable, and conservative art form. We apply and sculpt a tooth-colored composite resin directly onto your tooth, repairing chips, closing small gaps, or reshaping edges.
Bonding is best for small chips, cracks, minor gaps, or reshaping a single tooth. Dr. Guillen’s artistic eye ensures the bonded material blends seamlessly in shade and texture. It’s a one-visit solution that preserves almost all your natural tooth structure. Think of it as a precision touch-up for your smile.
In Dr. Tony’s Words: “Sometimes, a little artistic adjustment is all it takes to make a big difference in how you feel about your smile.”

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know which treatment is best for me?
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. That’s why your consultation is so important. Dr. Guillen or Dr. Sievert will examine your teeth, listen to your specific goals, and explain all suitable options. We’ll recommend the most conservative, effective path to get you the results you want.
Will cosmetic dentistry look natural?
Absolutely. Our primary goal is a result that looks like the best version of your smile. For veneers and bonding, we meticulously match the color, translucency, and texture of your surrounding natural teeth. We avoid an artificial, “too-perfect” look in favor of a seamless, healthy appearance.
Does teeth whitening cause sensitivity?
Some patients experience temporary sensitivity, which typically fades within a day or two. We use professional-grade products with desensitizing agents to minimize this. We’ll also give you clear pre- and post-care instructions to keep you comfortable.
How long do porcelain veneers last?
With excellent care and regular dental check-ups, high-quality porcelain veneers can last 15 years or more. They are a long-term investment. Avoiding habits like chewing ice or using your teeth as tools will help ensure their longevity.
Can I get my teeth whitened if I have bonding or veneers?
Whitening gel doesn’t change the color of porcelain or dental bonding resin. If you have existing restorations and want a whiter smile, we’ll need to plan carefully. Often, we recommend whitening your natural teeth first, then replacing or placing new restorations to match your brighter shade.
How do I care for my new smile after treatment?
Great care is simple: maintain excellent brushing and flossing habits, see us for regular cleanings, and protect your investment. This means wearing a night guard if you grind your teeth and avoiding using your teeth to open packages. We’ll give you personalized instructions based on your treatment.
Do you offer payment plans for cosmetic treatments?
Yes. We believe financial concerns shouldn’t stand in the way of a confident smile. We work with third-party financing partners like CareCredit to offer flexible payment plans with low-to-no interest options. Our team can help you explore all options during your consultation.
Your Smile Plan: A Conversation, Not a Prescription
The best cosmetic results start with a conversation. Dr. Guillen and Dr. Sievert prioritize listening first. We’ll discuss what you love, what you’d change, and what your life looks like.
From there, we craft a clear, step-by-step plan. This might involve a single treatment or a sequenced approach; like using bonding for a small chip after a whitening treatment. We explain the “why” behind every recommendation in plain English, ensuring you feel informed, comfortable, and in control of your smile journey.
