Metal-Free Dental Crowns
Instead of repairing your damaged tooth with a dark-colored metal crown, we can use one made from natural-looking materials such as zirconia and EMAX. Metal-free dental crowns are often just as durable as traditional metal ones, and we can shade them to ensure they match the adjacent teeth. That way, you won’t need to alter the way your smile looks in order to restore its health.
Cosmetic Dental Bonding
A tiny chip, crack, or stain in your tooth could have a huge impact on your self-confidence. With cosmetic dental bonding, we can make these minor flaws disappear by sculpting composite resin over them. We’ll shade the resin to mimic the color of your tooth enamel, so your results will look as though your tooth were never imperfect to begin with. This procedure is one of the quickest ways to fix cosmetic dental issues as it rarely takes more than one hour.
At-Home Teeth Whitening
Store-bought teeth whitening products are notorious for causing sensitivity and producing short-lived, lackluster results. Our professional take-home teeth whitening treatment solves both of these problems at once. First, we take impressions of your mouth to create trays that fit your unique teeth. Then, we provide a potent bleaching gel that permeates tooth enamel to remove deeply set stains. We can even customize this gel to minimize sensitivity. Simply wear the trays for a certain amount of time per day, and your smile should be dramatically brighter after just a couple of weeks.
Understanding the Cost of Cosmetic Dentistry
Whether a patient is visiting us to address small gaps that only they notice or to completely makeover their smile, the topic of cost always comes up. Don’t worry – we’re here to answer any questions you have so you feel fully confident moving forward. In the meantime, you can read on to learn a little bit more, including how to make the price more budget-friendly.
Which Cosmetic Dental Service is Right for Me?
That depends largely on one thing: your smile goals! While some patients visit us because they want to address stubborn stains, others schedule a consultation because they want to fix noticeable chips and gaps. With all of that said, here is a little more information on the services we offer and what to keep in mind when it comes to price:
- At-Home Teeth Whitening – If stubborn stains are your main concern, professional teeth whitening is a great investment. Plus, it’s usually mid-range in terms of cost, and the results can last anywhere from a few months to several years with proper care.
- Cosmetic Dental Bonding – This smile-enhancing service is ideal for smaller imperfections, and it’s one of the most affordable options. It’s also completely painless and can be completed in just one visit to our Monroe dental office.
- Veneers – Usually, veneers require the highest upfront investment. Don’t let that discourage you though. They also are incredibly versatile, only take two or three appointments to place, and can last for over a decade if you take good care of them.
Why Cosmetic Dentistry Can Be an Investment Worth Making
Some patients are hesitant to move forward with cosmetic dentistry because it seems “vain.” If that’s the case for you, then you’ll be happy to hear that smile-enhancing treatments, like teeth whitening, have the potential to positively impact much more than your self-esteem. In fact, several studies have found that job applicants who whitened their teeth prior to their interview were more likely to get a job and receive a higher offer! It’s also worth noting that having a smile you love will increase your motivation to do what’s needed to maintain it (i.e., brush twice a day, floss daily, rinse with mouthwash consistently). Simply put, your confidence, career, and oral health can all benefit from you investing in cosmetic dentistry!
How to Make Cosmetic Dentistry Affordable
As you may have guessed, dental insurance providers don’t typically cover the cost of cosmetic dental treatments. That said, there are some exceptions, so it’s worth taking some time to review the fine print on your plan. You can also give us a call to learn more about the other financial solutions available, including CareCredit. This trusted third-party financier offers payment plans so you don’t have to pay for the entire cost of your care in one lump sum. As an added bonus, some of their plans don’t have any interest attached!
