Lafayette, IN – April 23, 2025 – What if your dream smile wasn’t just a dream? At Highland Creek Family Dental, that “what if” is a reality—because they’re fusing the best of dental science with the artistry of cosmetic dentistry to craft smiles that not only look great but function beautifully too.

According to the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD), 99.7% of adults believe a smile is an important social asset, and 74% feel an unattractive smile can hurt career success. That’s where Highland Creek Family Dental is stepping in to transform lives—one scientifically perfected, artistically inspired smile at a time.

Where Precision Meets Creativity

At the core of Highland Creek Family Dental’s cosmetic philosophy is a simple but powerful belief: every smile is unique and deserves a tailored approach that brings out the best in both form and function.

“Cosmetic dentistry isn’t just about fixing teeth—it’s about creating harmony between facial features, personality, and dental health,” explains Dr. Shane Cope, lead cosmetic dentist at Highland Creek Family Dental. “We use advanced technology to plan every detail, but it’s the artistic vision that truly brings each smile to life.”

The Power of Technology in Smile Design

Science plays a major role in ensuring every transformation is predictable and lasting. The team at Highland Creek Family Dental uses digital smile design (DSD) software, intraoral scanners, and 3D imaging to analyze each patient’s facial structure, bite dynamics, and tooth proportions.

This technology allows for:
• 100% Digital Workflow – minimizing guesswork and maximizing precision.
• Custom Treatment Previews – patients can see their future smile before any work begins.
• Improved Patient Outcomes – better planning results in more accurate, durable cosmetic results.

As reported by the Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry (2021), digital workflows in cosmetic dentistry can reduce chair time by up to 30% while increasing patient satisfaction scores by over 40%.

The Aesthetic Side of Dentistry

While technology provides the foundation, artistry completes the picture. Highland Creek’s cosmetic team draws from visual design principles such as balance, symmetry, and proportion to create stunning results. Whether it’s veneers, composite bonding, whitening, or full smile makeovers, each procedure is performed with an eye for detail.

“Our patients often bring in photos of how they used to smile—or how they’d like to smile. We treat those pictures as inspiration, but we also go a step further by sculpting something that feels completely natural and uniquely theirs,” adds Dr. Shane Cope.


A Track Record of Happy Smiles

Lafayette residents are quickly discovering that cosmetic dentistry is not just for Hollywood celebrities. With Highland Creek Family Dental, smile design is accessible and personalized for the local community.
In the last year alone, over 300 Lafayette patients have chosen Highland Creek Family Dental for cosmetic treatments.

Patient surveys show a 97% satisfaction rate, with most citing a noticeable boost in confidence and self-esteem post-treatment.

The practice also reports a 35% increase in adult patients aged 35-60 seeking cosmetic enhancements—a trend that aligns with the ADA's 2022 report on the growing popularity of adult cosmetic dentistry.

Educating Patients, Empowering Decisions

The team believes that an informed patient is an empowered one. That’s why consultations at Highland Creek go beyond just recommendations—they’re about education.

Patients are given comprehensive insight into:
• Treatment options and materials
• Longevity and maintenance expectations
• Cost breakdowns and financing support
• Realistic outcomes based on individual oral health

This transparency builds trust and helps patients make confident, well-informed choices about their care.
