Rivers Dentistry provides cosmetic dental care for patients throughout Basalt and the surrounding Roaring Fork Valley. Whether you’re looking to brighten your smile, correct chips and gaps, or pursue a complete smile makeover, Dr. Connor Rivers, DMD offers a full range of cosmetic treatments in a comfortable, sedation-friendly environment, just 15 minutes from Basalt via Highway 82.
Rivers Dentistry offers Basalt patients access to a complete menu of cosmetic dental treatments, all performed by Dr. Rivers at our Carbondale office. From single-appointment touch-ups to multi-step smile transformations, every treatment plan is built around your specific goals.
Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin ceramic shells bonded to the front surface of your teeth to correct chips, cracks, gaps, staining, and minor alignment issues. Dr. Rivers uses digital imaging to plan your veneer treatment and preview the result before any work begins, so you know exactly what to expect. Veneers are a long-lasting investment in your smile and one of the most versatile cosmetic solutions available.
Professional teeth whitening delivers results that over-the-counter products cannot match. Rivers Dentistry offers in-office whitening for patients who want immediate results, as well as custom take-home trays for gradual whitening on your own schedule. Both options are safe, effective, and tailored to your starting shade and goals.
Dental bonding uses tooth-colored composite resin applied directly to the tooth to correct minor chips, cracks, gaps, and discoloration. It is one of the most affordable and efficient cosmetic treatments available — often completed in a single visit without altering the structure of your tooth.
A smile makeover combines two or more cosmetic procedures into a single, cohesive treatment plan designed around your unique goals. Dr. Rivers evaluates your teeth, bite, and facial features to determine which combination of treatments — whitening, veneers, bonding, clear aligners, or others — will deliver the result you’re looking for. For Basalt patients with more extensive needs, IV sedation allows multiple procedures to be completed in fewer visits.
Rivers Dentistry offers clear aligner treatment for patients seeking straighter teeth without traditional metal braces. Clear aligners are removable, discreet, and effective for a range of alignment concerns in adults and teens.
One of the things that sets Rivers Dentistry apart for Basalt patients is the ability to complete cosmetic procedures under sedation. Dr. Rivers offers nitrous oxide, oral sedation, and IV sedation, meaning patients who experience dental anxiety, a sensitive gag reflex, or simply want to consolidate multiple treatments into fewer visits have a clear path forward. Cosmetic work that might otherwise require three or four appointments can often be completed in one under IV sedation, saving Basalt patients significant time and stress.
Before any cosmetic treatment begins, Dr. Rivers uses digital imaging to map out your treatment plan and show you a preview of your anticipated results. This planning process takes into account your facial features, skin tone, tooth shape, and personal preferences — ensuring the outcome looks natural, not overdone. Basalt patients consistently tell us that seeing the plan upfront gives them the confidence to move forward.
