Veneers
Veneers are a one-treatment-fixes-all service that can address a variety of imperfections, such as severe staining, slight misalignment, and broken or damaged teeth. They are individually, custom-crafted shells made from dental porcelain, which is a stain-resistant and durable material. Each of the shells is placed over the visible surface of your teeth to protect them and reveal a complete, even, and bright smile that fits your desires. One great advantage of veneers is that, whether you need one or all of your teeth repaired, they can do it all.
Metal-Free Restorations
When teeth appear stained or flawed for any reason, metal-free restorations can be used to conceal and improve the look of your overall smile. We use EMAX, empress, LICI, and composite restorations to rebuild a lifelike appearance. These can also be used if you suffer from damaged or decayed teeth that need treatment to avoid more serious oral health issues.
Dental Bonding
Dental bonding can be a convenient, less invasive, and more affordable way to improve the overall appearance of your smile. Using composite resin – the same material used for tooth-colored fillings – we can match it to your existing enamel shade and apply it directly to the tooth’s surface. Once it’s sculpted to conceal the imperfection, we’ll cure the resin so that it hardens and produces a brand-new, beautiful aesthetic.
Invisalign
For patients who have orthodontic issues such as gapped teeth, misalignment, bite problems, and crowding, Invisalign aligners are a highly effective and discreet advanced treatment option. Not only is Invisalign a good option for teens who are just entering high school and focusing on making new friends, but it’s also ideal for adults who don’t want to commit to years with cumbersome metal traditional braces.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening can be one of the most effective ways to safely boost the color of your smile. We offer in-office treatment with Zoom! Whitening and other similar systems, which can produce results in just one hour. We also provide Opalescence Go and Night White take-home whitening solutions that can have you seeing incredible results in two weeks. No matter which option you choose, you can expect to be pleased with the kind of brighter smile you will see.
Gum Recontouring
Your teeth may not be the problem when it comes to your smile’s aesthetics. Instead, it may be that you have excessive gum tissue that is causing you to have teeth that appear shorter and “stubby.” To fix this, we can perform gum recontouring. By removing the excess tissue around your teeth, we can produce a more balanced gumline while also lowering your risk of gum disease in the future.
Smile Makeovers
Multiple smile imperfections can be troublesome, especially when you learn it will require more than one method of treatment to fix. Fortunately, with a smile makeover, we can streamline the process so that it is more convenient for you. After establishing the areas that need to be addressed, our team will combine several cosmetic and restorative services so that you walk away with a more confident, beautiful, and flawless smile.
Understanding the Cost of Cosmetic Dentistry
Will cosmetic dentistry fit into your budget? This is a question you need to consider carefully before you commit to any treatments; after all, most dental insurance plans don’t include coverage for purely cosmetic procedures. Luckily, you have our reliable dental team to aid you in helping you come up with a strategy to get the smile of your dreams while also staying within your budget. Don’t hesitate to speak with us if you have questions regarding the cost of cosmetic dentistry.
Which Cosmetic Dental Service is Right for Me?
We can only answer this question once we know what state your teeth are currently in as well as what kinds of improvements you have in mind. Below is a list of some of the cosmetic services we offer and what you can expect from them cost-wise:
- Veneers: Veneers are generally seen as one of the more costly options when it comes to cosmetic dentistry. However, they are also an excellent choice for making multiple changes to your smile at once.
- Teeth Whitening: Teeth whitening typically has a lower cost than veneers, and it can be quite effective for addressing discolored spots on your teeth. It should be noted, though, that the treatment doesn’t have any effect on tooth size, shape, or position.
- Invisalign: Invisalign provides a reliable way to correct crooked teeth and close gaps in your grin. That being said, it does tend to cost more than other cosmetic treatments.
When you visit our office for a consultation, we can discuss the costs of any cosmetic dental treatments you might be considering in more detail.
Cosmetic Dentistry Can Be an Investment Worth Making
Why do so many people invest in improving their smiles? For one thing, when you are happy with the way your grin looks, you’re likely to feel a lot more comfortable about showing it off; as a result, you may see a boost in your overall confidence. Furthermore, a dazzling smile can make a big difference during job interviews and other events where a first impression counts. Finally, smiling more often can help you seem more approachable, which can have a positive impact on your professional and social life.
How to Make Cosmetic Dentistry Affordable
It should be noted that while dental insurance typically will not pay for veneers and teeth whitening, some plans may include orthodontic coverage for Invisalign. It’s always worth double-checking your plan to see what benefits are available. On top of that, we work with CareCredit Financing. This gives our patients the option of applying for financing plans that make paying for their treatment easier.
We care about helping you achieve the smile you want without breaking the bank; you can count on us to help you explore your options for making cosmetic dentistry more affordable.
Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs
Will My Dental Insurance Cover Cosmetic Dentistry?
Insurance coverage for cosmetic services tends to vary from plan to plan. In general, most insurance carriers don’t cover the cost of cosmetic treatments, but it’s always best to check with your individual policy to make sure. If you need help getting in touch with your insurance company, our team is more than happy to assist you.
It’s also worth pointing out that some cosmetic treatments, like Invisalign, overlap with orthodontics, which is covered at least partially under most insurance plans, especially for younger patients. Again, it’s always in your best interest to check which services your insurance carrier will cover.
Am I a Good Candidate for Cosmetic Dentistry?
Virtually anyone who feels their smile could be enhanced in some way could benefit from seeing a cosmetic dentist. The treatments we offer can help correct a variety of aesthetic imperfections, such as misaligned teeth, chips, cracks, stains, or minor gaps. No matter which of these flaws lie within your smile, we can help you achieve a set of pearly whites that you just can’t wait to show off.
Can My Teenager Benefit from Cosmetic Dentistry?
While most cosmetic procedures aren’t recommended for younger children, teens can definitely improve their smiles with some of these services. In particular, Invisalign is quite popular with high school students. If you’re the parent of a teen, you’re already aware that they can be especially self-conscious about their appearance. We’re here to help your son or daughter attain a grin they can be proud of with cosmetic dentistry.
How Long Will It Take to Achieve Results?
The timeline involved with cosmetic dentistry is different for every procedure. For example, while teeth whitening can sometimes be completed in just one appointment, Invisalign takes an average of 12-18 months to fully straighten your pearly whites. Rest assured that no matter how long it takes, the result will be 100% worth the wait. At your consultation, we can go over a more detailed and customized treatment timeline with you.
