Veneers
A healthy smile can be tarnished by minor aesthetic flaws like stained, chipped, cracked teeth. Veneers are often used for these types of imperfections to improve the appearance of a smile. Veneers are wafer-thin shells made of porcelain used to restore the natural look of teeth while also providing strength and durability that's comparable to natural tooth enamel. They’re also custom made to match the color, size, contour, and texture of your natural teeth, ensuring they blend in with the rest of the smile.
Veneers can be used to address cosmetic issues, often including:
- Chipped or cracked teeth
- Unwanted or uneven spaces between teeth
- Stained or discolored teeth
- Misshapen teeth
-
Teeth that are too large or too small
Tooth-Colored Restorations
If you have old, unattractive metal crowns and bridges, you may want to replace them with something that has a more natural appearance. We provide restorations made of metal-free materials, such as Emax and BruxZir (a type of zirconia) that can be shade-matched to blend in seamlessly with the surrounding dentition. These restorations can fortify damaged teeth, beautifully renewing their shape, function, and appearance.
Teeth Whitening
If you are bothered by dental stains and discoloration, ask us if you are a candidate for professional teeth whitening. We use advanced bleaching formulas to penetrate the tooth enamel, break up unwanted pigment molecules, and leave your smile up to several shades brighter. We are pleased to provide in-office teeth whitening as well as convenient take-home kits that provide more gradual whitening.
Understanding the Cost of Cosmetic Dentistry
Our dental experts are happy to provide one or more services to help enhance your smile and boost your confidence, but you might hesitate to schedule a cosmetic consultation if you’re convinced you can’t afford these elective procedures.
We can provide a detailed estimate once we’ve discussed your aesthetic concerns and goals and have examined your mouth to devise a customized treatment plan. Continue reading to learn how we determine costs and how our office helps make dental care more affordable!
Which Cosmetic Dental Service Is Right for Me?
Many patients want to upgrade their grin but aren't sure which procedures they need. Our team offers several options at varying price points so you can find something suited to your budget, which are outlined in more detail below:
- These thin, ceramic shells are customized to match your enamel, then cemented to the fronts of your teeth to mask concerns such as chips, cracks, stains, and mild misalignments, often for $250 to $2,500 per tooth, depending on your circumstances.
- Tooth-Colored Restorations. We can replace darkly toned amalgam or metal restorations with tooth-colored alternatives, ranging from $90 to $450 for a composite resin filling or $800 to $3,000 for a dental crown.
- Teeth Whitening. Our team provides in-office services for more immediate results for $400 to $800+ in many cases, or sends you home with professional-grade whitening supplies for quality results from home, which might cost several hundred dollars.
How Cosmetic Dentistry Is Worth the Investment
Undergoing one or more cosmetic procedures often involves an investment of both time and personal resources, and it’s natural to wonder whether it’s worth it ‘just’ to improve the way your teeth look.
But upgrading your appearance can offer benefits you might not have considered. For example, did you know studies have shown that dental problems are negatively associated with the likelihood of being employed? Enhancing your grin can boost your confidence, which can in turn contribute to better professional achievements, more meaningful relationships, and a more engaging social life.
How to Make Cosmetic Dentistry Affordable
Most dental insurance policies don’t cover the cost of cosmetic procedures because they’re generally intended to improve your appearance more than your oral health. But there may be exceptions, or your plan might contribute to different aspects of your treatment, such as associated exams or imaging, so it’s worth checking your information.
However, our compassionate team also believes all patients deserve the flawlessly beautiful smile they’ve always dreamed of, regardless of their current financial situation. If you’re concerned about affording your chosen treatment, you might benefit from one of the following:
- Dental Wellness Plan. We offer in-house memberships for a low annual fee that include exams, cleanings, X-rays, and additional discounts on some other services.
- Flexible Financing. We also happily accept flexible payment packages through CareCredit, which allow you to divide your total invoice into more manageable installments that are easier on your budget, usually for little to no interest.
