Veneers

Some patients are bothered by multiple imperfections such as visible tooth cracks, stubborn stains, and worn-down teeth. You don’t have to correct these problems one at a time; we can simply cover them all up at once by placing dental veneers. In addition to being versatile, veneers are also quite durable and can last for over a decade before needing to be replaced. And compared to your natural teeth, they don’t stain as easily.

Metal-Free Dental Restorations

If you are concerned about people noticing that you have had dental work done, you will probably be happy to know that modern dental crowns and fillings do not have to be made out of metal. Instead, our team can use tooth-colored materials that seamlessly match your smile. Even if you have a significantly damaged tooth, you can still show it off with confidence once we have finished repairing it with a reliable, natural-looking restoration.

Direct Bonding

Minor imperfections often call for a less invasive form of cosmetic dentistry. Direct bonding lets us quickly cover small flaws with composite resin. The resin will be very carefully sculpted so, to the average person, it will just look like a natural part of your tooth. In many cases, the composite resin can be applied and hardened in place in just a single appointment, meaning you can get the results you’re looking for in a short amount of time.

Teeth Whitening

Even if you’ve been successful in keeping your teeth as clean as possible, you may still end up with some discolored spots in your smile. The good news is that oftentimes, a lackluster grin can be brightened with professional teeth whitening. At our dental practice, you can have a personalized teeth whitening kit (which usually takes around a few days but can be used in the comfort of your own home).

Smile Makeovers

The steps that need to be taken to create your ideal smile can vary from patient to patient. Sometimes you may even require more than one type of cosmetic dentistry treatment; in that sort of situation, we can create a smile makeover plan for you. A smile makeover is a combination of multiple services meant to enhance the appearance of your teeth. The ultimate goal of the process is to properly address every aspect of your grin that has been bothering you, leaving you with results that will have you beaming.

Understanding the Cost of Cosmetic Dentistry

Even if you want cosmetic dentistry, you may fear it’d be too expensive. That’s a fair concern – dental insurance doesn’t cover most of this field’s treatments. However, the final price of a given procedure varies from patient to patient; you’ll need to see our dentists for a precise estimate. Plus, we can make the cost of cosmetic dentistry more affordable. Our team will gladly walk you through our cosmetic services and payment options. Just keep reading to learn more, or call us soon.

Which Cosmetic Dental Service is Right for Me?

In cosmetic dentistry, patients often try to get one (or more) of three things: whiter teeth, straighter teeth, or differently shaped teeth. Still, its services don’t all have the same prices and effects. You’ll need to compare them so your chosen option is cost-effective.

Here at Radiant Dental, our cosmetic treatments are:

  • Teeth Whitening – Teeth whitening is a service that brightens your grin, using a bleaching gel to remove stains from your enamel. That said, it only affects tooth color; it won’t alter tooth position or shape.
  • Direct Bonding – Direct bonding applies tooth-colored resin to minor flaws in your teeth, hiding them from view. This resin then blends seamlessly with the rest of your smile and won’t stand out.
  • Metal-Free Restorations – Metal-free fillings and crowns don’t stand out from your surrounding teeth. Instead, their materials blend with your grin and don’t draw attention to themselves. That means these restorations both treat and hide your tooth decay.
  • Veneers – Veneers are shells (often made of porcelain) set on the fronts of teeth. Once placed, they can beautify several aspects of your smile at once. This versatility can make them pricey.
  • Smile Makeovers – Rather than its own service, a smile makeover is made up of many cosmetic dental options. It’s thus the costliest form of cosmetic dentistry.

Cosmetic Dentistry: An Investment Worth Making

While cosmetic dental work can be a big commitment, it’s still worth getting. Its many services are great long-term investments.

The truth is that having a pretty smile comes with priceless perks. For instance, a beautified grin will boost your confidence and body image. You’ll then relax and bond more easily with friends and family when you socialize. The result would be stronger bonds and better opportunities, raising your quality of life. These advantages tend to justify the final cost of treatment.

How to Make Cosmetic Dentistry Affordable

As mentioned before, dental insurance hardly ever covers cosmetic dentistry. It often sees the field’s services as needless luxuries. Even so, you can always rely on our office’s helpful payment options. Just consider those mentioned below:

  • Dental Membership Plan – In exchange for an annual fee, you can join our office’s dental membership plan. This option gives you (among other things) 20% off dental crowns and filling treatments.
  • Flexible Financing – Our practice works with CareCredit, a reputable 3rd party financier. Through them, you could pay for cosmetic dentistry in monthly installments. These payments would also have little to no interest, so you could cover the cost more easily.

Getting a nicer smile doesn’t have to exceed your budget. To learn how to finance that journey, just book a visit to our office.
