Our approach to cosmetic dentistry is grounded in proven protocols and current research. Dr. Beke’s Academy of General Dentistry Fellowship training and ongoing participation in advanced study clubs ensure every cosmetic procedure is backed by evidence-based techniques that deliver predictable, beautiful results you can trust.
We take time to understand your aesthetic goals, facial structure, and expectations before recommending any cosmetic treatment. Every smile makeover is customized to complement your features and personality, with clear explanations of the process, timeline, and expected outcomes. No pressure, just honest guidance to help you make confident decisions.
Lifetime Smiles offers a full range of cosmetic dental services, each performed by Dr. Beke with the same standard of care regardless of complexity. Treatments are available individually or combined into a coordinated smile makeover plan:
Not sure which treatment is right for you? That is exactly what a consultation is for. Dr. Beke will evaluate your teeth, gums, and bite, listen to your goals, and explain which procedures would achieve them, along with realistic timelines and cost ranges for each option.
The cosmetic dentistry process at Lifetime Smiles starts with a no-pressure consultation. Dr. Beke evaluates your teeth and gums, reviews your goals, and explains what each treatment option involves, including the preparation required, number of appointments, recovery expectations, and longevity. For procedures like veneers and smile makeovers, digital imaging allows you to preview potential results before any treatment begins. Simpler treatments like teeth whitening or composite bonding can often be completed in a single visit. More involved plans such as veneers or Invisalign take longer, but Dr. Beke will map out every step so you know exactly what to expect at each appointment.
Caring for cosmetic results is straightforward. Brush twice daily, floss, and attend regular cleanings every six months. Porcelain veneers and crowns typically last 10 to 15 years or longer with proper care. Whitening results fade over time depending on diet and habits, but touch-up treatments are easy to schedule. Most cosmetic work is durable and low-maintenance when built correctly from the start.
Selecting a cosmetic dentist in Bellevue is a decision that should be based on training, track record, and trust, not marketing. At Lifetime Smiles, cosmetic procedures are performed by Dr. Beke, not delegated. His nearly 20 years of clinical experience, Academy of General Dentistry Fellowship, and ongoing participation in advanced study clubs mean you are working with someone who understands both the technical precision and artistic judgment that great cosmetic dentistry requires. Hundreds of five-star reviews from Bellevue, Mercer Island, Medina, and surrounding communities reflect the kind of results that speak for themselves.
Every cosmetic recommendation at Lifetime Smiles is grounded in clinical evidence, not trends. Dr. Beke’s Academy of General Dentistry Fellowship and nearly 20 years of experience ensure that procedures are technically sound, aesthetically calibrated, and built to last. He attends advanced study clubs regularly to stay current with the latest techniques, which means you benefit from methods that are proven, not experimental.
Cosmetic outcomes depend heavily on laboratory quality. Dr. Beke works exclusively with experienced dental laboratory technicians who share his standard for craftsmanship. Every veneer, crown, and custom restoration is fabricated with precision and reviewed carefully before bonding. The result is cosmetic work that fits properly, looks natural, and holds up over time – not just in the short term. These relationships, built over years, are a core reason Lifetime Smiles consistently delivers results that patients describe as life-changing.
Quality means no shortcuts. Every stage of your cosmetic treatment – from the initial consultation to final placement – receives the same meticulous attention. Dr. Beke does not rush procedures to open schedule slots, and he does not cut costs by using inferior materials or rushing laboratory turnarounds. This practice has been built over 35 years on the principle that patients who receive excellent work become patients for life. That reputation is worth far more than any shortcut.

Considering cosmetic dentistry can bring up many questions about procedures, costs, and expected outcomes. Here are answers to the most common questions our Bellevue patients ask about transforming their smiles. If you have additional questions, our team is always happy to provide detailed, honest answers during your consultation.
Most people with healthy teeth and gums are excellent candidates for cosmetic procedures. During your consultation, Dr. Beke will evaluate your oral health, discuss your aesthetic goals, and recommend treatments that will achieve the results you want. If underlying issues like decay or gum disease need to be addressed first, we’ll create a comprehensive treatment plan that prioritizes your long-term oral health while working toward your cosmetic goals.
Yes. A comprehensive smile makeover can address several cosmetic concerns simultaneously – discoloration, chips, gaps, misalignment, and worn teeth can all be corrected through a combination of procedures planned in the right sequence. Treating multiple concerns together often produces more harmonious, natural-looking results than addressing them one at a time over years. Dr. Beke will design a coordinated plan that sequences each phase logically and efficiently, so you achieve the complete result you want without unnecessary additional appointments.
At Lifetime Smiles, natural-looking results are our priority. Dr. Beke works with skilled laboratory technicians to create restorations that match your facial features, skin tone, and personality. We avoid the overly white, unnaturally perfect “veneers look” that many people worry about. Instead, we create beautiful smiles that look like they’ve always been yours — enhanced but never artificial. You’ll see treatment previews and have input throughout the process to ensure you’re completely satisfied with the final aesthetic.
A general dentist focuses primarily on the health and function of your teeth, diagnosing and treating decay, gum disease, and structural issues. A cosmetic dentist applies those same clinical skills to improving the appearance of your smile. Dr. Beke is both: he provides comprehensive general dental care and cosmetic procedures, which means any underlying health issues are identified and treated as part of your cosmetic plan rather than referred out. You benefit from continuity of care and a provider who understands your entire oral health picture, not just the cosmetic piece.
Cosmetic dentistry costs vary widely depending on the procedures involved. Teeth whitening is typically the most accessible entry point, while porcelain veneers, Invisalign, and full smile makeovers represent more significant investments. During your consultation, Dr. Beke will provide a personalized treatment plan with transparent, itemized pricing — no surprises. While most cosmetic procedures are not covered by dental insurance, we accept CareCredit financing with promotional 0% interest periods to help make treatment accessible. We also accept Delta Dental PPO, Premera, and Regence for any medically necessary components of your care. Contact our Bellevue office to schedule a consultation and receive a clear picture of your options and costs.
