Veneers
When there’s more than one type of cosmetic dental flaw you want to fix, dental veneers can be a perfect choice. These very thin, durable shells can completely cover the fronts of your teeth, hiding chips, stains, misalignment, and other imperfections from view. Not only are veneers very versatile, but they’re also highly durable; you can expect your new smile to last around 10 years or more as long as you take the right steps to protect it.
Metal-Free Dental Restorations
Are you worried about having a piece of metal attract the wrong sort of attention whenever you show off your teeth? We know that many of our patients are concerned about how their smiles will look after having dental work done, which is why we offer metal-free dental restorations. Materials such as porcelain and zirconia can be shaded to blend in perfectly with the rest of your smile – right down to the way that they reflect light.
Direct Bonding
When you need a quick fix for your smile, we may recommend a direct bonding procedure. A small amount of composite resin will be custom-shaded to match the color of your enamel. We’ll then apply the material to the areas of your tooth where corrections need to be made and sculpt it until it blends in with its surroundings. Typically, direct bonding can be completed in just one appointment, letting you achieve a flawless smile in just one day.
Teeth Whitening
Are you tired of being disappointed by the results you get from over-the-counter whitening products? With our time-tested professional teeth whitening treatments, you have reliable options for making your smile more dazzling. We offer in-practice teeth whitening along with at-home teeth whitening options; the kind that’s right for you depends on whether you want to see results right away or if you’d prefer having the process completed in the comfort of your own home.
Invisalign Clear Aligners
Everyone would love to have a beautiful smile with perfectly aligned teeth, but what if you don’t want to wear braces to do it? As a more image-friendly and convenient alternative, we’re proud to offer Invisalign. For this treatment, you will wear a series of clear aligners that exert pressure on your teeth to slowly push them toward their new positions. By the end of the process, you’ll have a straighter smile to show off to the world.
Smile Makeovers
If you are not sure where to start with making improvements to your grin, you might consider having a personalized smile makeover performed. A smile makeover combines multiple cosmetic dentistry treatments to achieve the beautiful results you want. At the beginning of the process, we will ask you about your smile goals and explain what you can expect from the procedures you’re considering; then we will create a unique dental treatment plan that accommodates your specific needs.
Understanding the Cost of Cosmetic Dentistry
The benefits that cosmetic dentistry can afford to you are obvious and appealing, which means that the meant the thing that drives people away from this style of treatment is the cost. We endeavor to make out care as accessible as possible for our patients, so we’ll take the time to explore all of your financial options with you when we meet in person. Until then, here’s what you should know about the price of cosmetic dentistry.
What Cosmetic Dental Service is Right for Me?
One of the nice things about cosmetic dentistry is just how many treatments there are at your disposal. This means not only that we’re able to address a myriad of issues, but that it’s also much easier to find a style of care that will fit within your budget.
If you’re looking for something inexpensive, direct bonding can be used to patch up small areas of damage, like chips or cracks. There’s also teeth whitening, which can be used to give you a smile up to eight shades brighter than the one you came in with.
On the pricier side are the treatments that can completely change the look and feel of your smile. Invisalign aligners are an excellent example; they can eliminate crooked or gapped teeth without the need for any wires or brackets. Then there are veneers, which can alter the color, shape, and alignment of your smile in as little as two appointments.
Finally there’s a smile makeover, which involves a combination of each of these treatments to completely alter your appearance. Naturally, this tends to be the most expensive option.
Cosmetic Dentistry Can Be an Investment Worth Making
A nice smile can afford you lots of things in life. It’ll improve the impression you make on others, both at work and in your personal life, which will in turn make each of those even more enriching.
However, the biggest change will be in the confidence that cosmetic dentistry will afford. You’ll look better, but more than that, you’ll be able to feel better in everything that you do.
While the cost of cosmetic dentistry can seem daunting at first, just keep in mind that it’s an investment in a better you!
How to Make Cosmetic Dentistry Affordable
That said, cosmetic dentistry doesn’t necessarily have to break the bank. If you’re wary about paying for all of your care at once, you may be happy to learn that we accept financing.
We often work with CareCredit, which is a healthcare financing firm that offers low-to-no interest plans to split payment across several months, which may make paying for cosmetic dentistry feasible where it wasn’t before.

Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs
Is Cosmetic Dentistry Covered by Insurance?
Dental insurance won’t usually cover elective procedures, including most cosmetic treatments. However, there are a few exceptions if the treatment also offers some oral health benefits. For instance, a crown or veneer may receive partial coverage if it builds up or protects a damaged tooth. Clear aligners, like Invisalign, could be partially covered if your plan includes orthodontic treatment. Our team is available to help you understand your specific plan, file your paperwork, and maximize your benefits.
Is Cosmetic Dentistry Safe?
If you are under the care of a trained professional, most cosmetic treatments are safe for most patients. However, not every treatment is ideal for everyone. That’s why your dentist will examine your mouth ahead of time to give you an honest assessment of which procedures may and may not be right for you. Some cosmetic treatments could post an underlying risk if an oral health issue isn’t treated first. For instance, placing a veneer over a decayed tooth could make the decay more difficult to treat later on. It’s important that these issues are addressed beforehand.
How Do I Know If I Need Cosmetic Dentistry?
If you aren’t happy with the smile you see in the mirror every day, you may benefit from cosmetic dentistry. Discolored teeth can be addressed with professional teeth whitening. Chipped or cracked teeth can be fixed with dental crowns or veneers. If you are seeking a more youthful appearance, cosmetic dentistry can help with this too. Of course, the best way to tell if you are a good candidate for cosmetic dentistry is to schedule a consultation with us. That way, your dentist can examine your smile and make recommendations to help you achieve the goals you have for your smile.
How Long Does Cosmetic Dentistry Last?
The lifespan of your updated smile will depend on which treatments you get. Some last longer than others. Quick treatments, like teeth whitening and dental bonding, tend not to last as long as more extensive treatments, like veneers. The results of Invisalign can last a lifetime if you continue to wear your retainer as directed. Generally speaking, the better you care for your smile, the longer you can expect your results to last.
