Porcelain Veneers
Drinking wine or coffee, smoking, and taking certain antibiotics can permanently discolor your enamel. A durable, stain-resistant solution to fixing your smile is porcelain veneers. Veneers are thin shells that are adhered to your prepared teeth. Once the process is complete, you’ll have a beautiful, long-lasting smile!
Metal-Free Dental Crowns
You usually hear dental crowns being recommended to fix broken teeth, but they can serve a purely cosmetic function as well! Regardless of whether you need a crown for health reasons or just to improve your appearance, we can give you a restoration made from porcelain or other ceramic material that matches the color of your natural teeth. This way, people meeting you for the first time won’t even realize that you’ve had dental work done at all.
Cosmetic Dental Bonding
We can sculpt your problem teeth to get rid of minor imperfections using a cosmetic bonding procedure. A small amount of composite resin is shaded to blend in with your enamel, then applied to the problem area. Then we carefully work with the material until it completely covers the flaw and blends in with the surrounding tooth. Even though the procedure is done in about an hour, the results can last for a very long time.
Teeth Whitening
Keeping your teeth looking as white as possible is a lot easier said than done. Brushing isn’t always enough to remove the stains caused by dark-colored foods and beverages. A professional whitening procedure can remove various types of discoloration. Our dental office utilizes KoR and ZOOM whitening for in-office and at-home whitening treatments; both are known to reliably make your smile several shades brighter. In-office whitening can be done in about an hour, but take-home kits let you complete the process while relaxing at home.
Gum Recontouring
If your gums cover a large portion of your teeth, your entire smile may end up looking uneven. Fortunately, you don’t have to force yourself to live with a gummy smile. Modern dentistry allows us to remove the excess gum tissue so that it doesn’t draw attention away from your beautiful teeth. This procedure can also be used to reshape the gum line if the tissue extends lower in some areas than others, thus improving the overall symmetry of the smile.
Smile Makeovers
When you begin the smile makeover process, we’ll ask you to describe your ideal smile and the kind of improvements that you want to see by the end. Bringing pictures of your favorite smiles can help you illustrate what you’re looking for. Once we have an idea of what your goals are, we can put together a plan that combines any number of cosmetic treatments to make the desired changes.
Understanding the Cost of Cosmetic Dentistry
Given the fact that cosmetic dentistry isn’t typically covered by dental insurance, many patients are concerned about what they’re going to be able to do to make the procedure affordable. Thankfully, you’ll be happy to learn that there are plenty of methods of making a beautiful smile fit your budget.
We’ll be able to construct a personalized treatment plan around your budget when we meet you in person, but before that, here’s what you should know about budgeting for cosmetic care.
What Cosmetic Dental Service is Right for Me?
First of all, it’s worth pointing out that there are many different kinds of cosmetic treatments out there, affording you the ability to take many different approaches to improving your smile. That being the case, it’s possible for most people to find a method of treatment that will work for their budget.
On the inexpensive side, there are treatments like direct bonding and teeth whitening. These procedures are niche in their applications, but do what they do incredibly well. For broader changes, however, you might opt for veneers or dental crowns. This will incur a higher cost, but afford you much greater results.
Then there are smile makeovers, a combination of several different cosmetic treatments to help you get the smile that you’re looking for. Its price varies greatly depending on the actual treatments you’re pursuing, but generally a combination of treatments will be more expensive than one on their own.
Cosmetic Dentistry Can Be an Investment Worth Making
Sometimes, patients are daunted by what appears to be a large financial commitment when looking into cosmetic dentistry. At times like this, it’s important to remember what it is that you’re getting for your money.
Cosmetic dentistry can markedly improve your confidence, allowing you to make a bigger splash at work and to turn that into measurable financial benefits. Add that to social and romantic boons that come with a beautiful smile, and you’ll find that cosmetic dentistry is an investment that’s sure to pay off.
How to Make Cosmetic Dentistry Affordable
However, that doesn’t change the fact that cosmetic dentistry isn’t covered by insurance, which means that it’s typically necessary to pursue other options if you’re uncomfortable with paying out of pocket. We work with a variety of different financing firms that can allow you to split those lump payments across several months, making care fit your budget much more easily. CareCredit and Alphaeon are two firms that offer low-to-no interest financing to patients who qualify. If you’re interested in this or any other approach to making care affordable, give us a call and we’ll be happy to help you.

Is Cosmetic Dentistry Expensive?
Cosmetic dentistry is associated with being expensive, but you don't have to be rich to invest in the smile of your dreams. Many factors affect the cost and you have several payment options to keep a picture-perfect smile affordable, like monthly installments. Our office accepts traditional payment methods and third-party financing, like CareCredit. Based on your credit approval, you can benefit from little or no interest in financing to pay for your new smile using a payment plan. We will help you find the solutions you need to keep cosmetic dentistry within your budget.
How Long Does Cosmetic Dentistry Take?
Cosmetic dentistry isn't a single procedure. Instead, it's a category for services catering to aesthetics. Each procedure has a different timeline. Some treatments only take one appointment, like teeth whitening or dental bonding. However, other services can take multiple appointments, like porcelain veneers or dental implants. We know your time is valuable. We embrace the latest technologies and techniques to streamline our services without compromising on quality or aesthetics.
How Long Does Cosmetic Dentistry Last?
Every procedure has a different life expectancy and many factors will affect the duration of your results. You can get the most from your investment by brushing your teeth twice a day and flossing every night. Limit your consumption of sugars and starches to keep tooth decay at bay. Moderate hard or crunchy foods. It's best to break any habits that may damage your teeth, like chewing on your fingernails or crunching ice. Don't forget to schedule a cleaning and checkup every 6 months. Your dentist will keep your mouth healthy and your smile looking its best.
Can I Use My Dental Insurance for Cosmetic Dentistry?
Most dental insurance doesn't cover elective services, but your benefits may include your consultation, diagnostic services, or preparatory procedures, like a dental cleaning. If your dentist determines treatment is medically necessary, like fixing a chipped tooth, your insurance may pay some of the expenses after meeting your annual deductible. A member of our office will work on your behalf with your dental insurance to maximize any appropriate coverage.
