Cosmetic Dentist Near Tega Cay SC

Smile design for Tega Cay weddings, family photos, and every day in between.

Meet Dr. Andrew and Dr. Klaudia Falkovsky

Falko Family Dental is a husband-and-wife dental practice in Rock Hill, serving Tega Cay residents across York County. Dr. Andrew Falkovsky, DMD, focuses on esthetic dentistry — veneers, smile design, and full cosmetic rehabilitation — and is a member of the American Association of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD). Dr. Klaudia Falkovsky, DMD, brings a focused background in implant restorations and full-arch smile makeovers, and is a recognized member of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (ICOI). Both doctors are members of the Academy of General Dentistry, the South Carolina Dental Association, and the American Dental Association.

Before earning her DMD from Rutgers School of Dental Medicine, Dr. Klaudia completed a Master of Science in Biomedical Sciences at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, where her oral biology research was published in both the Nature Journal and the Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy Journal. She was also an ICOI award recipient during dental school — an early indicator of the implant-focused path her career would take.

Having two doctors in one practice — and in one marriage — changes how cases get handled. Complex cosmetic plans are often informally reviewed by both doctors before a final recommendation is made. That means your treatment plan benefits from two sets of eyes, two areas of specialty, and one shared commitment to getting it right.

Cosmetic Dentistry for Tega Cay's Lakeside Lifestyle

Tega Cay patients tend to book cosmetic work around the parts of life that get photographed — weddings, anniversaries, graduations, reunions, boat-day videos, professional headshots, and country club events. That changes how we plan treatment. We work back from the date that matters to you, build in time for adjustments, and aim for a result that looks like your smile on your best day, not a different person's teeth.

Porcelain Veneers and Smile Makeovers

Veneers are the most common cosmetic request from Tega Cay patients, usually for the front six to ten teeth. We start with photographs and a 3D scan, design a preview that lets you see the proposed shape and shade before any tooth is touched, and only move forward once you approve the design.

Smile makeovers combine veneers with whitening of the back teeth, small bonding touch-ups, and — when needed — a short Invisalign phase to get alignment right before the veneers go on. Starting with straight teeth always produces a better final result than placing veneers on crooked ones. A well-planned smile makeover typically runs 10 to 18 months from the first consultation to final cementation, depending on whether orthodontic alignment is part of the plan.

No one is born with a perfect smile. A smile makeover is not just about fixing problems as they come up — it is a comprehensive plan built around your facial features, your goals, and your timeline. The services we use most often in a smile makeover include cosmetic bonding, porcelain veneers, dental crowns and bridges, teeth whitening, Invisalign clear aligners, dental implants, and implant-supported dentures and bridges.

Whitening Before a Wedding, Reunion, or Lake Event

In-office whitening produces a visible change in a single appointment, which is useful when the event is close. Custom take-home trays give you more control and let you maintain the result long term. Most Tega Cay patients who book whitening for an event come in two to four weeks before the date — early enough to finish, late enough that the color still looks fresh on the day.

Invisalign for Adults

Many Tega Cay patients did not straighten their teeth as teenagers, or they did and shifted back over time. Invisalign with a 3D outcome preview is usually the right starting point for adults who want straighter teeth without brackets. Most patients complete treatment in 10 to 18 months. We often pair a short Invisalign phase with veneers or whitening afterward, which consistently delivers a better final result than jumping straight to veneers on misaligned teeth.

How the first cosmetic visit works

The first appointment is roughly an hour. You tell us what you see in the mirror that you want to change. We take a full set of cosmetic photographs, a 3D scan, and updated x-rays if we do not have them already. Then we review options with you in plain language — what's possible, what's the smart sequence, what realistic timing looks like, and what the written estimate is. You leave with a plan on paper. You do not leave with a sales pressure to commit that day.

Cosmetic dentistry pricing and financing

Every cosmetic case is priced individually because no two patients start in the same place. What we do commit to: a written estimate before treatment starts, direct filing with your dental insurance (cosmetic work is often not covered, but restorative components may be), and financing through CareCredit for patients who want to spread payment over 12 to 24 months. For patients without dental insurance, our in-office Friends & Family Plan covers preventive care at a reduced rate so you're not paying separately for cleanings on top of cosmetic work.

About Tega Cay

Tega Cay sits on the shoreline of Lake Wylie in northern York County. The community is defined by the water — docks, marinas, pontoon Saturdays, the peninsula neighborhoods around the Tega Cay Country Club, and the sailing and rowing culture that the lake supports. Most of our Tega Cay patients live within a mile or two of the water and are thinking about how their smile looks in the photos they already take dozens of every year. The town also supports a strong school system, a steady flow of Charlotte-commuting professionals, and an active events calendar — all of which influence the timing of when people book cosmetic work with us.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I decide between veneers and Invisalign?

If your teeth are the color, shape, and size you want but not straight, Invisalign is the right call. If you want to change the shape, size, or color — not the position — veneers make more sense. If the answer is "both," we usually sequence Invisalign first to set the alignment, then veneers for the final esthetic result.

How soon before a wedding should I start cosmetic work?

For whitening alone, two to four weeks is enough. For veneers, plan on two to three months to allow time for the preview stage, the preparation visit, and final placement with room for adjustments. For a full smile makeover that includes Invisalign, start six to twelve months out depending on how much alignment work is needed.

Will cosmetic work damage my natural teeth?

Properly planned, no. Veneers remove a thin layer of enamel — typically 0.5mm on the front surface — and are bonded back to healthy tooth structure. Bonding is additive, not subtractive. Whitening does not weaken enamel when done under dental supervision. The risks come from poorly planned work, which is why the preview and consultation stages matter.

Do you work with photographers or stylists on wedding cases?

We work directly with the patient, but we're happy to coordinate treatment timing around your wedding photographer's schedule if you share it with us. Just let us know your key dates when you book your consultation and we'll plan around them.

Can I get a cosmetic consultation without committing to treatment?

Absolutely. Your cosmetic consultation is complimentary — no fee, no obligation. Many Tega Cay patients come in to understand their options and take weeks or even months before scheduling actual work. There is no pressure to decide on the first visit.

What happens if I chip a veneer right before an event?

Call us right away at (803) 560-9892. Chipped veneers can often be repaired or replaced within a few days. We keep flexibility in our schedule specifically for situations like this.
