Cosmetic Dentistry in Roosevelt
Whether you are heading to a show at the Hollywood Theater, meeting friends near Roosevelt Square, or picking up a student from Roosevelt High School, your smile is part of the picture. If stains, chips, gaps, or uneven teeth make you self-conscious, modern cosmetic treatments may help you feel more at ease.
Green Lake Cosmetic Dentistry offers cosmetic dentistry to Roosevelt patients from our office on Aurora Avenue North, a short drive from Roosevelt Way NE, 12th Avenue NE, and Lake City Way. Dr. Cherryl Ellison, a general dentist, takes a friendly, candid approach and explains what is realistic for your smile before you commit to anything.
Cosmetic dentistry focuses on how your teeth look and how confident you feel using your smile. Treatments can brighten discoloration, mend chips, close small spaces, smooth uneven edges, and align crowded teeth. Some people begin with one simple step, while others build a plan over several visits that fits their budget and schedule.
Veneers are one popular option. The ADA’s MouthHealthy veneers guide explains that veneers cover the front surface of a tooth, that they come in porcelain and composite, and that decay or gum disease should be treated first. Dr. Ellison reviews these same points with you and recommends the gentlest option that may reach your goal.
Roosevelt residents balance commutes, classes, and family schedules, so we keep cosmetic care under one roof. Here are the treatments patients ask about most:
If you are unsure where to start, book a visit and talk it through. Dr. Ellison examines your teeth, hears your goals, and suggests the simplest path that may work. Because veneers are cosmetic, insurance may not cover them, so we explain costs up front and can check your benefits.
Your visit opens with a conversation about what you see in the mirror and what you would like to change. Dr. Ellison checks your teeth and gums, then explains what each option can and cannot do. If whitening or bonding can solve the concern, she tells you. If veneers or a fuller makeover are a better match, she describes each stage before you decide.
Healthy teeth and gums come first, so any decay or gum concerns are addressed before cosmetic work. Veneers may not suit people who clench or grind their teeth, so Dr. Ellison asks about those habits too. Straightening usually comes before whitening, and we sequence steps so each builds on the last. The ADA also cautions patients to seek veneers only from a licensed dentist, which is one more reason to start with a proper exam.
Dr. Ellison has 7 years of experience and earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree at Indiana University. She practiced in Vermont before moving to the Pacific Northwest, and she keeps learning through memberships in the Spear and Seattle Study Clubs. She is passionate about a comfortable, enjoyable visit for the whole family, and her goal is a functional, healthy, and beautiful smile for every patient. Our office is open Tuesday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., with Saturday visits by appointment, and same-day appointments may be available when you need us.
We want cost to feel clear and manageable. We are in network with many PPO plans, including Delta Dental, Premera Blue Cross, Cigna, and MetLife, and our team can check your benefits before your visit. Cherry financing may offer 0% interest for 12 months on approved credit, and our financing and insurance page explains each option in plain language.
We understand the financial side of cosmetic dental care matters. Here are the ways we make it work for Roosevelt patients:
A smile you feel good about does not need a special occasion, only a first conversation. Dr. Cherryl Ellison brings 7 years of experience, ongoing training, and a clear, comfortable style to every cosmetic visit.

It depends on your concern. Whitening is often a simple first step for stains, bonding can address small chips, and veneers or a smile makeover may suit bigger changes. Dr. Ellison recommends the simplest option that may meet your goal.
Both cover the front surface of the tooth. Porcelain veneers are thin ceramic shells, while composite veneers are built from tooth-colored resin. Dr. Ellison can explain which suits your teeth and budget.
Not always. Decay or gum disease should be treated first, and veneers may not be a good fit for people who clench or grind their teeth. An exam helps sort this out.
Coverage varies. Cosmetic treatments such as veneers may not be covered, so our team can check your benefits and review financing options before you decide.
Yes. Many patients pair Invisalign with whitening or bonding, and a smile makeover can organize several steps into one plan.
