An aesthetic dentist specializes in enhancing the appearance of your smile in a natural, personalized, and minimally invasive way. This includes procedures like composite resin veneers, ceramic veneers, smile design, tooth color harmonization, and facial treatments, all without compromising the health or structure of your teeth.

Frequently Asked Questions about Dr. Leydi Dahiana Cardona–Aesthetic Dentistry at Clínica Viena
Aesthetic dentistry is a branch of dentistry focused on improving the appearance of your smile while preserving the health and function of your teeth. It includes treatments like composite resin veneers, ceramic veneers, smile design, tooth color correction, and facial harmonization — all tailored to each patient’s unique features.
While both terms are often used interchangeably, aesthetic dentistry takes a more holistic approach: it considers not just how your teeth look, but how they function, how they relate to your facial features, and how natural the result feels. Cosmetic dentistry tends to focus primarily on the visual outcome. At Clínica Viena, we practice aesthetic dentistry — meaning every treatment is designed to look beautiful and feel right
Dr. Cardona specializes in:
- Composite resin veneers and stratification
- Ceramic veneers and stamped resin
- Smile design
- Tooth color harmonization
- Facial harmonization with hyaluronic acid
Most aesthetic treatments are minimally invasive and performed under local anesthesia when needed, making them comfortable and well-tolerated. Dr. Cardona prioritizes a calm, detail-oriented approach so every patient feels safe and informed throughout the process.
Results vary depending on the treatment and how well it is maintained. Composite resin veneers typically last 5 to 8 years with proper care, while ceramic veneers can last 10 to 15 years or more. Dr. Cardona will guide you on the best option based on your lifestyle and goals.
Most adults in good general dental health are candidates for aesthetic treatments. The first step is a personalized consultation where Dr. Cardona evaluates your oral health, listens to your goals, and designs a treatment plan that fits your needs — no one-size-fits-all approach.
