Veneers
Famous actors and models have been using dental veneers to achieve their picture-perfect smiles for decades, and that’s because this treatment is incredibly versatile, effective, and convenient. In just two appointments, we can fit these custom porcelain shells over the fronts of your teeth to mask virtually all of their imperfections. Tooth chips, cracks, stains, and even small gaps can instantly disappear with veneers. In their place, you’ll have a gorgeous, natural-looking smile, and these results can last for up to two decades.
Invisalign
If you’re an adult who never got the chance to wear braces as a teenager or had braces but your teeth have shifted back out of alignment over the years, there’s still a way to straighten your smile without having to deal with “metal mouth” for a year or longer. Invisalign clear braces have helped countless adults enjoy straight teeth without shining a spotlight on their treatment. These see-through plastic trays subtly align your teeth, and they practically vanish when worn. Plus, they’re removable, so you can eat, brush, and floss your teeth as you normally would.
Metal-Free Dental Restorations
Maybe you remember the days when getting a dental crown or filling meant that a piece of noticeable dark metal would be placed in your mouth. You’ll be pleased to know that’s no longer the case! Instead, we can repair damaged or decayed teeth with custom-shaded materials, like zirconia and composite resin, that seamlessly blend into your overall smile. As an added bonus, we can also replace old, unsightly metal crowns or fillings with brand new all-ceramic or composite restorations.
Cosmetic Dental Bonding
As a more affordable, conservative, and quicker alternative to veneers, cosmetic dental bonding can address multiple imperfections, often in a single appointment. After choosing the shade of composite resin that most closely mimics your enamel, our dentists apply this biocompatible material to your tooth, sculpting it until the offending blemish is covered. Bonding is versatile enough to fix stubborn stains, chips, and cracks, and it can even close minor gaps between teeth.
Teeth Whitening
If your smile is duller than it used to be, then Zoom! Teeth Whitening may be just the thing you need. Unlike over-the-counter teeth whitening products, our professional treatment is designed to remove even the most deeply set stains and reveal the brighter smile underneath. We can even adjust the potency and application of the bleaching solution to minimize the risk of sensitivity afterward.
Smile Makeovers
What if you need multiple procedures to attain a smile you’re proud of? No worries! We can combine two or more cosmetic dentistry services to help you achieve the results you desire. Instead of addressing each dental flaw individually, we can tailor your smile makeover plan to complete the necessary treatments as efficiently as possible. That way, you can enjoy a newfound sense of self-confidence much sooner.
Understanding the Cost of Cosmetic Dentistry
When it comes to understanding the cost of cosmetic dentistry, you may be concerned that it is too much to even consider. The myth that it is only for the elite causes many individuals to forgo the dream of living with a smile they can be confident in, but the good news is that there are alternative ways to pay and not break the bank. Keep reading to discover what kind of financial investment you can expect when it comes to pursuing cosmetic dental care.
Which Cosmetic Dental Service is Right for Me?
Before settling on which cosmetic dental service is right for your unique needs, you’ll need to consider all of your available options, some of which will include:
- Veneers: As thin coverings that are designed to fit over the front surfaces of teeth, veneers are customized based on the size, shape, and color of your desired smile. They can cover virtually all imperfections and last 10-15 years with proper care. Because they are considered permanent, they can be more expensive than other solutions.
- Invisalign: Straightening teeth with Invisalign can be a costly endeavor, especially if you’re pursuing treatment solely for aesthetic purposes. Also, wearing these trays can require 12-18 months to see noticeable results.
- Metal-Free Dental Restorations: Repairing damaged or decayed teeth with metal-free restorations may find you receiving help from your dental insurance company, but if you are opting for these crowns to hide imperfections, you may be required to pay more out of pocket.
- Cosmetic Dental Bonding: Using composite resin that is placed directly onto the tooth enamel, cosmetic dental bonding is easy to apply and takes only one appointment. As a result, it is highly affordable for most patients.
- Teeth Whitening: While there are over-the-counter options available at a lower price, professional teeth whitening will produce longer-lasting benefits. Not to mention, this type of treatment is more affordable than others (i.e., veneers) and is minimally invasive.
- Smile Makeover: A comprehensive smile makeover can be costlier than other individual solutions because of how it’s designed to encompass more than one cosmetic treatment. The price of your care, though, will be determined based on which services you and your dentist decide on.
Cosmetic Dentistry Can Be an Investment Worth Making
Your physical, mental, and emotional well-being will all be positively impacted when choose cosmetic dentistry. While there is a price tag associated with teeth whitening, veneers, cosmetic dental bonding, and more, you cannot dismiss the life-changing results you will receive when looking in the mirror to see your new and improved smile.
Not only will you be pleased with your enhanced appearance, but you’ll also appreciate your renewed confidence and ability to pursue greater opportunities in your personal and professional life.
How to Make Cosmetic Dentistry Affordable
It’s no secret that your dental insurance will be unlikely to cover the cost of your cosmetic treatment. At Page Family Dental, though, we are pleased to provide alternative methods to help you navigate the financial responsibilities of your care.
We are pleased to partner with CareCredit and Lending Club – two third-party companies that make it easy for patients like yourself to apply for flexible financing. Using their plans, you can choose a low- to no-interest option that aligns with your budget. Instead of focusing on the full amount upfront, you can feel a sense of ease by paying off your treatment over time. Our team is here to provide any additional assistance, so don’t be afraid to ask!
Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs
Is Cosmetic Dentistry Expensive?
Many people associate cosmetic dentistry with costly treatments, but this isn’t necessarily the case. This likely stems from the fact that many cosmetic procedures do not receive dental insurance coverage because they are deemed to be “elective.” Patients usually end up having to pay for their treatment out of pocket. While improving the appearance of your smile may seem expensive at first, it’s important to consider the investment you are making in your self-esteem, confidence, and quality of life.
How Do I Know If I Need Cosmetic Dentistry?
If you don’t feel confident in your smile when looking in the mirror, you may benefit from cosmetic dentistry. Stained and discolored teeth can be corrected with professional teeth whitening. Chipped or cracked teeth can be protected with a crown or veneer. If your teeth are misaligned, Invisalign is a great option to straighten your smile discreetly. For patients who want to look younger, cosmetic dentistry can help with that too. The best way to determine if cosmetic dentistry is right for you is to schedule a consultation. This way, we can examine your smile and go over your options.
Does Cosmetic Dentistry Hurt?
People are often hesitant to commit to dental procedures because they are worried that they will be painful. Fortunately, we will always do everything we can to make you feel as comfortable as possible while in the dental chair. Most cosmetic treatments are non-invasive, so they don’t even require a local anesthetic. For treatments like veneers, the area will be numbed ahead of time. You could experience some soreness for a few days after certain procedures, but this should be mild and temporary.
What Causes the Discoloration of a Tooth?
Tooth discoloration can be caused by a variety of different factors. Some are in your control while others are not. Here are some of the most common culprits:
- Foods/Drinks: Some foods and drinks can move into the outer layers of the tooth structure, causing staining. This includes red sauces, red wine, coffee, berries, and chocolate.
- Tobacco: Tobacco use in the form of cigarettes, cigars, and chewing tobacco can cause the yellowing of the teeth.
- Age: Discoloration of the teeth is a natural part of getting older. Because the teeth become more brittle, the yellow dentin in the center of the teeth becomes more visible.
- Injury: If the root of a tooth has been injured, it can cause the tooth to darken.
- Antibiotics: According to the Food and Drug Administration, if you took tetracycline antibiotics as a child, this could have resulted in permanent discoloration of the teeth.
