What is Cosmetic Dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry focuses on enhancing the aesthetics of your teeth and gum tissue. It is recommended for resolving issues such as tooth discoloration, chipping, uneven edges, small gaps between the teeth, or outdated dental work that does not match the rest of your smile. While treatments improve the beauty of your teeth, many also improve the functionality as well.
Find the Right Fit
| Concern | Often a Good Fit |
|---|---|
| Teeth look dull or yellow | Tooth whitening for a brighter smile |
| Small chip or one dark spot | Tooth bonding to smooth and blend the tooth |
| Front teeth look uneven or worn | Dental veneers for shape and symmetry |
| Small gaps show when you smile | Dental veneers to close minor spaces |
| Gums show more than you want | Gummy smile treatment for a more even smile line |
| You want a removable smile option | Snap On Smile for a temporary cosmetic change |
The Process
- Consultation: We start with a conversation about what you dislike and want to change about your smile.
- Examination: Our dentist examines your teeth, reviews your oral health, and explains which cosmetic dentistry options will best meet your smile goals.
- A treatment plan: We outline the treatment steps, timing, and expected results of your chosen procedure.
- Treatment: The scheduling for treatment is based upon the type of treatment being rendered. Some procedures are completed in a single visit, while others may require more than one visit.
- Follow-up: Follow-up appointments include home care recommendations as well as any necessary adjustments (touch-ups) to your smile.
Understanding The Cost
The cost of a cosmetic dentistry treatment is dependent upon several factors: the specific procedure(s) to be performed, the number of teeth affected by the treatment, and whether previous dental work requires modification prior to starting your cosmetic journey.
Insurance typically covers treatments that restore structural damage to a tooth, but often does not cover treatments that are intended to improve only the aesthetics of your smile. We will review your insurance coverage and provide financing options if needed.
