200+ 5-star reviews
Metropolitan Dental Centre offers cosmetic dentistry in Fairfax, VA, including KöR whitening, cosmetic bonding, porcelain veneers, and clear aligners. Dr. Caitlin Hulver creates personalized treatment plans at our fee-for-service practice, now accepting new patients.
Start with the least dentistry that gets you there
Dr. Hulver recommends the smallest set of treatments that reaches the smile you want, and she never pressures you into work you don't need.
Many of our favorite patients arrive nervous, wanting a nicer smile but dreading the chair. Dr. Hulver learns what made dental care hard for you before, then sets a pace you control. Here's what that looks like:
90 minutes before any plan: your first visit is a dedicated 90-minute appointment with Dr. Hulver that opens with a conversation about your goals.
1 doctor who plans and performs the work: Dr. Hulver handles your consultation, smile design, and treatment personally.
4 cosmetic treatments, planned as one smile: whitening, bonding, veneers, and alignment are coordinated, not piecemealed.
Cosmetic treatments at Metropolitan Dental Centre
KöR Teeth Whitening
Dr. Hulver uses KöR whitening to brighten your teeth on its own or alongside bonding and veneers. Many of the cosmetic cases in her patient files pair KöR whitening with bonding or veneers.
Cosmetic Bonding
Cosmetic bonding fixes small chips, gaps, and worn edges with tooth-colored material that Dr. Hulver shapes and polishes by hand to blend in. Bonding keeps more of your natural tooth structure, and Dr. Hulver usually completes it in a single visit.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are thin, lab-crafted shells that change the shape, shade, and proportion of your front teeth. Dr. Hulver starts every veneer case with digital photos and a conversation about how you want your smile to look.
Clear Aligners
Metropolitan Dental Centre offers CandidPro clear aligners, which start with an in-person exam with Dr. Hulver, not a mail-order kit. You send progress photos from home about every 14 days, and most patients visit the office about every six months.
Smile makeovers and full-mouth rehabilitation
A smile makeover combines several of these treatments into one plan. When teeth are also worn, broken, or missing, Dr. Hulver plans a full-mouth rehabilitation that can add porcelain or zirconia crowns and implants, so function and appearance improve together.
How Dr. Hulver plans your smile
Dr. Hulver plans the full picture first, before she places anything. Your plan starts at your 90-minute new patient visit:
Comfort options for nervous patients
Oral sedation is available for patients who need it. We also offer warm blankets, pillows, an unhurried pace, and step-by-step explanations, so you stay in control.
The New Patient Interview
Dr. Hulver asks about your dental history, your goals, and past experiences that shaped how you feel about the dentist.
Photos on a screen
She takes photos and any needed x-rays, then reviews them with you in plain language.
Your whole smile and bite
She checks how your teeth fit together as well as how they look, so the plan works for your whole smile.
Your plan, in order
You leave knowing what she recommends, which step comes first, and what comes next.
Real Fairfax smiles, real transformations
From subtle whitening and bonding to complete smile makeovers, every smile has a different story. Explore Dr. Hulver's real patient results and see what's possible for yours.

Cosmetic dentistry in Fairfax, VA: Your questions answered
What is cosmetic dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry is dental treatment that improves how your teeth and smile look. At Metropolitan Dental Centre, Dr. Caitlin Hulver offers KöR whitening, cosmetic bonding, porcelain veneers, CandidPro clear aligners, and smile makeovers that combine them.
How much does cosmetic dentistry cost in Fairfax, VA?
Dr. Hulver quotes your cosmetic dentistry after your exam, because the cost depends on which treatments your plan includes. She reviews the plan and its cost with you before treatment begins. Metropolitan Dental Centre accepts cash, checks, and credit cards, and offers financing through CareCredit, Cherry, and Proceed Finance.
How long does cosmetic treatment take?
Your timeline depends on which treatments you choose, and you'll leave your 90-minute first visit knowing the order of your plan. Dr. Hulver usually completes cosmetic bonding in a single visit. Porcelain veneers take more than one visit because a dental lab crafts them.
Which cosmetic treatment do I need?
Dr. Hulver decides with you at your first visit, after she reviews photos of your smile and checks your bite. She recommends the smallest set of treatments that reaches your goal, whether that's whitening alone or a full smile makeover.
Will my results look natural?
Yes, a natural-looking result is the goal of every cosmetic plan Dr. Hulver designs. She plans shape, shade, and proportion around your whole smile, so your teeth look refined, not overdone.
I'm nervous about the dentist. Can I still have cosmetic work done?
Yes. Many of Dr. Hulver's favorite patients arrive nervous, and she builds your visits around what makes you anxious. Oral sedation, warm blankets, pillows, and an unhurried pace are all available.
Can I combine whitening, bonding, veneers, and aligners?
Yes, and Dr. Hulver plans them as one coordinated smile plan. Clear aligners often come first, and she plans any whitening, bonding, or veneers around your teeth's new position.
