Studies show that having a healthy, beautiful smile boosts both our social and professional success.
Your dentist will begin your consultation by asking how you truly feel about your smile. Are there issues or imperfections that make you feel self-conscious? What would you change? What are the parts you like and appreciate about your smile? Every detail helps your dentist craft the perfect cosmetic treatment plan for you.
By conducting a comprehensive oral exam, your dentist will be able to identify any issues that may not make you a suitable candidate for a particular treatment. Since cosmetic dentistry should only be performed on healthy teeth, your dentist will let you know if any restorative work is required for your smile.
After examining your mouth and discussing your problems and preferences, your dentist will then provide you with a recommended treatment plan.
Your dentist will offer multiple different options to restore a smile, so you can choose the one that best suits your lifestyle, budget, and priorities.
After you and your dentist have found the perfect cosmetic treatment plan, our friendly team will guide you through payment options and schedule your upcoming treatment appointments.
Dental bonding uses a special tooth-colored dental resin that is applied directly to your tooth during treatment to match the shade of your smile. By carefully shaping and sculpting the resin, your dentist will correct the shape of your tooth and restore your smile’s overall look and functionality. Each tooth treatment takes only about 30-60 minutes, and the process is completely non-invasive.
Shaping & contouring is also called enameloplasty. This cosmetic process is often used alongside bonding. To shape and contour, a thin layer of enamel is removed from uneven, chipped, or pointy teeth to grant you a more even, appealing smile.
Veneers are thin, tooth-colored porcelain shells that are attached to the front of teeth to treat small gaps between teeth, severe staining, misshapen or uneven teeth, and much more. Durable and long-lasting, veneers can completely transform your smile. Veneers are permanent and cannot be removed, because they require the removal of some of your natural enamel, which is an irreversible process.
If you’re unsure if any of the aforementioned treatments are the right fit for you, or if you think you may need multiple treatments to restore your smile, ask your dentist about a cosmetic dental makeover.
A cosmetic dental makeover is a highly customized, multi-treatment plan that’s specifically tailored to treat all issues you may have with your smile. Because each patient is unique, all processes are a little different. All involve multiple cosmetic and restorative dental procedures. The goal for every patient is to have them feeling proud of their brand new smile after all procedures are complete.
KöR Whitening is a popular at-home whitening option due to its versatility and effectiveness. With KöR, you can whiten their teeth right in your own home and notice subtle, gradual brightness within 2 weeks.
Our office carries KöR-Day™ or KöR-Night™ teeth whitening options. KöR-Night™ is a cost-effective option that whitens your smile while you sleep. KöR-Day™ is an option for patients who would prefer not to wear whitening trays while sleeping. Since the daytime option is only worn for short periods, it's also better for patients with sensitivity.
For patients struggling with stubborn stains, in-office and at-home whitening treatments can be combined to achieve a patient's desired brightness. KöR in-office whitening provides fast results that can brighten your smile by several shades in a single appointment. When supplemented with at-home treatment, KöR provides exceptional results.
Soda is one of the leading causes for tooth decay and discoloration.
Whatever issue you’re facing that relates to the appearance of your teeth, cosmetic dentistry can solve. Teeth whitening treatments are used to whiten stained or yellowing teeth and can help you look younger. Misshapen and uneven teeth, or teeth with minor tooth damage can be repaired through bonding shaping, and contouring. Dental crowns are occasionally used for cosmetic purposes, too. Every issue mentioned can be fixed with veneers. This versatile cosmetic treatment can also correct gaps between teeth, more severe tooth staining, and slightly crooked or crowded teeth.
If your teeth and gums are healthy and you’re free of any major orthodontic issues, you may be a good candidate for cosmetic dentistry.
On the other hand, cosmetic treatment may not be the right fit for you if you struggle with oral health problems like gum disease or cavities, or if you have major issues with the alignment of your teeth or jaw. Restorative care or orthodontic treatment can resolve these problems before you decide to explore cosmetic dental treatment. In many cases, restorative care and orthodontics can give you a healthier and more beautiful smile.
Absolutely! It’s common to have multiple cosmetic dental procedures done at the same time. Dental bonding and enameloplasty, for example, are often done in the same appointment. If you’re looking to find out if you can have multiple cosmetic procedures done at once, ask your dentist for more information.
Unfortunately, it is not common for cosmetic dentistry to be covered by dental insurance. Insurance providers often list cosmetic treatments as elective and unnecessary to the health of your smile. For most cosmetic cases, you will need to pay for treatment out-of-pocket. In some instances, your insurance may cover a small amount of costs for treatments like cosmetic crowns or veneers, but this is not common. If you’re looking for more details on your dental insurance coverage, contact your insurer. Be sure to also contact our practice to see if we can assist you with discounts or payment plans to help you cover treatment.
