Transform Your Smile With the Team You Trust

When you look in the mirror, are you happy with your smile? Or do you find yourself wishing your teeth were a little brighter, straighter, or more even? If so, you’re not alone. Cosmetic dentistry is one of the fastest-growing areas of dental care, and for good reason. It’s about more than just appearance. It’s about confidence, comfort, and helping you feel proud of your smile.

At Cornerstone Family Dentistry, our team is proud to offer a variety of cosmetic services that can transform your smile in subtle or dramatic ways. If you’ve been wondering what a cosmetic dentist in Erie can do for you, or in Camanche, Davenport, or Morrison, read on to explore the possibilities.

What Is Cosmetic Dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the look of your teeth and gums. While many cosmetic treatments also offer restorative or functional benefits, the primary goal is to enhance the overall appearance of your smile. Whether you’re dealing with discoloration, uneven edges, or worn-down teeth, a personalized cosmetic treatment plan can help you achieve a look that is both beautiful and natural.

Our Cosmetic Dentistry Services

Every smile is unique, and so is every treatment plan. At Cornerstone Family Dentistry, we offer cosmetic dental care that is customized to your needs and goals. Here are the services our patients love most:

Smile Makeovers

A smile makeover is a comprehensive approach that combines multiple treatments to achieve your ideal smile. Whether you’re looking to address chips, gaps, discoloration, or uneven teeth, a smile makeover brings everything together into one seamless result.

We begin with a one-on-one consultation to understand your concerns and goals. From there, we create a step-by-step plan that may include teeth whitening, veneers, enamel shaping, and more, depending on what will give you the most natural and balanced look.

Teeth Whitening

Stained or dull teeth are among the most common cosmetic complaints we hear. Our professional teeth whitening treatments are fast, effective, and noticeably more powerful than anything you’ll find in a drugstore aisle.

We offer convenient teeth whitening trays that you can use from the comfort of home. These custom trays fit your teeth precisely, allowing the whitening gel to work evenly and efficiently. With regular use, you’ll see your smile brighten by several shades in a short period of time.

If you’ve been looking for a cosmetic dentist in Erie who provides safe and noticeable whitening results, you’ve found the right team.

Veneers

Veneers are thin, durable shells that are bonded to the front of your teeth to correct a wide range of cosmetic concerns. They can instantly improve the shape, size, and color of your teeth. Veneers are a popular choice for patients who want a major transformation without orthodontics or extensive restorations.

Veneers are especially helpful for teeth that are stained, chipped, slightly crooked, or have gaps between them. The result is a natural-looking smile that feels completely your own.

Enamel Shaping

If you have minor imperfections like uneven edges, small chips, or slightly irregular teeth, enamel shaping might be the perfect solution. This quick, non-invasive procedure involves carefully contouring the outer layer of the tooth to create a more symmetrical and refined look.

Enamel shaping is often combined with other cosmetic treatments, such as whitening or veneers, to achieve the best possible results.

Cosmetic Dentistry in Erie and Beyond

While many of our cosmetic patients live in Erie, we proudly serve patients from our other locations as well. Whether you are in Camanche, Davenport, or Morrison, the same expert care and artistic approach is available at each Cornerstone Family Dentistry office.

Our goal is to make high-quality cosmetic care accessible and convenient, no matter where you are located. Because we value a family-first culture, you can expect to be treated with warmth, honesty, and respect every step of the way.

What to Expect from Your Cosmetic Consultation

When you visit us for a cosmetic consultation, we take time to get to know you. What do you like about your smile? What would you change if you could? We use your answers, along with detailed photos and exams, to create a treatment plan that fits your goals, timeline, and budget.

You will never feel pressured or rushed. Instead, we work together to help you feel confident in every decision you make about your smile. If you’re searching for a cosmetic dentist in Erie who takes a personalized approach and truly listens to your goals, you’ll find exactly that at Cornerstone Family Dentistry.

Confidence Starts with a Smile

There is something powerful about walking into a room and knowing your smile reflects your personality, your health, and your happiness. Whether you have been dreaming of a small tweak or a complete transformation, cosmetic dentistry can help you get there.

If you are in Erie, Camanche, Davenport, or Morrison, we invite you to schedule a consultation today. Let’s talk about how professional teeth whitening, veneers, smile makeovers, and other custom solutions can help you feel your best. Your dream smile is closer than you think. We are here to help you make it a reality.

I grew up

Megan D.

Hygientist, RDH

I grew up on Fenton, IL  and graduated from Erie High School in 2004.  While in high school I was a cheerleader all four years for football and basketball and was part of the competition cheer squad. I also enjoyed being in choir all four years. 

After high school I attended Carl Sandburg College in Galesburg IL and graduated in 2006. I knew as a little girl that I wanted to work in a dentist office. I enjoyed going to the dentist and was drawn to a person’s smile.  

I was fortunate to join the Cornerstone team when they bought the Erie office. 

I married my best friend and high school sweetheart in 2007. We have four children, Sydney born in 2010, Derek 2012, Josh 2013 and Lyla 2015. 

The Golden Rule is my favorite Cornerstone core value because it is what Jesus instructed in Matthew 7:12 “So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you…”



Ethan R.

Hygientist, RDH

I grew up in Fulton, IL and graduated from Fulton High School in 2021. While in high school I participated in football, wrestling, and track. After graduation I attended Carl Sandburg college and graduated as a Registered Dental Hygienist in 2025. 

I got interested in dentistry because I had a great dentist growing up who was also my neighbor. 
 
I found out about Cornerstone through a coworker. I reached out and got called in for an interview. I really enjoyed meeting everyone and am grateful to have the opportunity to be on the team.  

My dad is a retired electrician, my mom is a nurse, and my brother is pursuing a career is Cyber Security. We love to do everything together, whether that be watching football, going on jeep rides, or visiting places. 

Family first has to be my favorite Cornerstone core value because in my opinion nothing is more important than family.

Tara R.

Business Assistant

I grew up in East Moline, IL and attended United Township High School and graduated in 2001. 

I had a job opportunity as a dental assistant and wanted to give it a try. After working 10 years as an assistant, I moved up to the front office. In December 2024 Cornerstone bought the office I was currently working for. 

My husband and I were married in 2008. We have a daughter (2003) and son (2011). Our daughter got married fall of 2024. We have a pit bull, Wrigley, that is a big part of our family (since 2018). We enjoy hiking, going on family vacations, and love watching the Chicago Bears play!

Family first is my favorite Cornerstone core value. I feel like it allows me to come to work and perform at my best.

Leea T.

Treatment Coordinator

I grew up in the Davenport/Bettendorf area. I’ve always loved the sense of community here. It’s been so nice to come full circle and be back in the place that feels most like home.

I graduated from Pleasant Valley High School in 2020. I’m a Covid senior! I definitely learned how to roll with the punches during such a unique senior year experience.
After graduation, I went to Scott Community College with the intention of becoming an English professor. Writing has been a consistent passion of mine! But after a few semesters, I felt the urge for adventure and decided to move to Austin, Texas on a whim! It was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. 
 
While in Austin, I started working in Oral Surgery. Over time, I realized I wanted a better work/life balance while still being in a profession that helps people feel confident and cared for. When I moved back to the Quad Cities, I was lucky enough to find Cornerstone, where work/life balance is truly valued!
 
When I returned to Iowa, I quickly discovered how tough the job market could be! I spent plenty of time scrolling Indeed, hoping to find something that felt like “the one.” Once I met our office manager, Alina, I knew Cornerstone could be that perfect fit. Since joining the team February 2025, I’ve been given the freedom to use my creativity and grow within my role. I love that this position continues to evolve as I do!
 
My husband and I are coming up on two years of marriage, but we just had our official wedding celebration in September of 2025! We had the best time celebrating with our families. We don’t have pets or kids yet, but we both hope for a big family someday. I get to visit my parents often, and my little sister whenever she comes home from college. Family is such a huge part of my life, and being close to them again means so much to me!
 
It’s hard to choose a favorite Cornerstone core value, because each one spoke to me from the start. If I had to pick, I’d say The Golden Rule resonates most. No matter our differences, the Cornerstone team shows up every day with compassion and understanding. It’s comforting to know I’m surrounded by people who treat both their teammates and patients with genuine kindness and respect.
