Services
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-crafted shells bonded to teeth for aesthetic enhancement. Ideal for correcting chips, gaps, discoloration, and misalignment, they offer durability and a natural appearance. Our Houston specialists use advanced ceramists to ensure precise color matching and lifelike results that boost confidence and oral function.
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent solutions for missing teeth through titanium posts fused with the jawbone. This procedure restores chewing function, prevents bone loss, and maintains facial structure. Our team ensures comprehensive evaluations and personalized treatment plans for optimal integration and long-term success.
Invisalign
Invisalign uses transparent, removable aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. Custom-designed for each patient, these aligners correct crowding and spacing issues without metal brackets. Treatment typically lasts 12-24 months, with periodic adjustments ensuring gradual, comfortable tooth movement and improved bite alignment.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening addresses stains from food, age, or medications using FDA-approved solutions. Options include in-office power bleaching and take-home kits with custom trays. Results last longer with proper maintenance, offering a brighter, more youthful smile that enhances overall facial aesthetics.
Full Mouth Reconstruction
Full mouth reconstruction combines restorative and cosmetic procedures to rebuild damaged teeth and facial structure. Treatments may include crowns, veneers, implants, and periodontal therapy. This comprehensive approach restores function, alleviates pain from TMJ issues, and rejuvenates facial appearance for a more youthful, confident look.

I can't say enough about this dental practice y'all! Seriously any rave review would not even be sufficient! They truly care here and get to know you as a person. The owner Dr. Cantu is an amazing woman of God and an absolutely fantastic dentist! Her attention to detail and her heart for her patients is remarkable! Her associate dentists that work with her practice are literally amazing as well! I've been on a journey with my teeth with them for over a year now after some horrible dental work done in the past and recently got veneers.
In tears in her office because of how amazing they look and their heart for working with me and seeing me through this! I am forever grateful to them for their expertise, skilled and top notch work, encouragement and love for their people. You will not regret going here! I recommend them and my dental hygienist, James, is also phenomenal! This practice and everyone involved with it is a true testament to God's faithfulness and gives Him glory! I praise the Lord for them! I can now smile with confidence and it's changed not only my face and my confidence but my life!

Dr. Canto is a world class Cosmetic dentist. She has advanced training, honed skills and artistry that do not compare. She is ALWAYS offering the best of new technology but is still distinctive about what she will use for which teeth. She is an exacting perfectionist who LOVES what she does and her cosmetic restorative dentistry is proof. She creates beautiful teeth that looks so natural that her peers routinely refer to her as an "Artist".
I have been her patient for over 22 years. She is a beautiful and caring person and has always been very patient with me as I took 20 years to FINALLY be ready to have my first and only implant. I have moved from Houston and like her many other patients from around the world, I too routinely fly in to see her and her team because they are THE BEST.

What an incredible virtual consultation. My experience today on the live call with Dr. Canto and her staff far exceeded my expectations for a virtual consultation. The level of care, concern and expertise that she exhibited was definitely comforting and what I needed in order to feel confident in my decision moving forward with cosmetic dentistry. In all fields, first impressions really do matter.
In the world of medicine, having such a detailed and in-depth discussion about my general dental health and her recommendations for me (all before making one payment to their facility) is a great indication of the level of care I'll receive as a patient. I look forward to beginning this journey with Dr. Canto.

Dr. Amanda Canto AND her Staff at Cosmetic Dentists of Houston are simply wonderful. Dr. Amanda meticulously designed the crowns for my front teeth exactly how I imagined---and I'm a super picky Physician. More important to me was the Personal and "feel at home and comfortable" feeling provided by the whole Office and Staff. Best experience ever!

Dr. Canto and her entire staff are beyond exceptional. I found Dr. Canto by doing an online search and after reading her Yelp reviews, I knew that my cosmetic dental needs would be in the best hands. My initial virtual consultation with her won me over. She was so warm, patient, welcoming and knowledgeable. Although her office is 4 hours away, I was more than happy to make the trip. Dr. Canto has the most infectious personality.
She makes you feel seen and heard. Her staff is just as attentive. Dr Canto does a great job explaining the procedure and she is an artist who can create the most beautiful smiles. Her office is breathtakingly beautiful. You get the red carpet treatment from the time you step foot in the door until you leave. I would gladly drive 4 hours again to have my dentistry needs met by Dr. Canto. She is unmatched in every way! She's simply the best! If you are considering this practice.take it from me, this is hands down the BEST dentistry in the Houston area.

First of all let me state that Dr. Canto has is hands down the best dentist I have ever attended to. Her dental clinic is a pleasant experience from the moment you set foot in their office space. I was always hesitant in visiting dental offices after numerous disappointments with judgmental and careless dentists. My insecurity changed with the first appointment I had with Dr. Canto. All of her staff is ready to make your visit as smooth and comfortable as possible.
After I moved to Honduras I decided to keep my appointments with Cosmetic Dentistry of Houston. I prefer to fly over several times a year to have a great and complete dental experience. Thank you Dr. Canto because you transformed my smile. You are a true artist and thank you for always going above and beyond. I will be forever grateful. Corey you are attentive, thoughtful, and always willing to go out of your way for patients to feel comfortable. You are the best!
