COSMETIC DENTISTRY

Our teeth are an important feature in contributing to whom we are. They are of course vital when it comes to eating, but they also play a big role in helping us to communicate. Our smile is a very under-appreciated asset and certainly can be an appealing attribute in your day to day life, personally, socially, and professionally.

Patience is indeed a virtue. Every single member of our staff believes this. We pride ourselves in working with every member of the family, from infant to teenager to mom and dad to grandparents.

What Is Cosmetic Dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry is a specialized field of dentistry that focuses on restoring unsightly or missing teeth back to their natural looking, aesthetically pleasing condition. Cosmetic dentists can fulfill this goal by considering one of several different procedures that might be appropriate for your unique treatment plan. The Cherrydale cosmetic dentists will focus on preserving as much of your natural teeth as possible, to achieve an authentic looking repair, while maintaining or improving your surrounding bone and gum tissue.

How Long Will It Take?

Each cosmetic dental procedure will vary in length of time. If you require multiple restoration steps, the process of achieving a radiant smile will take longer.

Our patients who have undergone cosmetic dental procedures will agree- there are valuable benefits to achieving an aesthetically pleasing smile. Some of the more popular advantages of cosmetic dentistry include:

  • Natural looking teeth
  • Increased function of teeth
  • Correction and balance of bite
  • Decreased risk of decay and infection
  • Increased strength of the teeth and bones
  • Decreased wear and tear on teeth
  • Protection of existing teeth

Which Procedure is Right For You?

There are a several factors to consider when considering cosmetic dentistry. Not all procedures will be appropriate for you, and you may have severe dental concerns that eliminate specific treatment from the onset. Before we begin any cosmetic dentistry, we will evaluate the health and integrity of the jawbone, your teeth, and your gums.

At your evaluation consultation you can expect us to complete several examinations to evaluate your mouth in its current state. These exams could include:

  • Comprehensive Oral Exam
  • X-rays (types ranging depending on need)
  • Impressions
  • Bite Analysis & TMJ Analysis
  • Radiographs
  • Periodontal (gum) and oral cancer exam

After these required exams are completed, we will create a personal cosmetic treatment plan perfect for achieving your desired smile.

How Much Does Cosmetic Dentistry Cost?

Cosmetic dentistry is becoming more of a necessary dental procedure versus an optional elective process. Procedures that focus on returning the proper functionality to the oral cavity are critical to preventing further infection or wear and tear on existing healthy teeth. The cost of cosmetic dentistry will be determined by the number of procedures, the severity of the condition, the materials used, and the insurance coverage applied based on your dental plan.

Contact your dental insurance company before your consultation to understand your options. Make sure to bring this information to your appointment to review with us prior to determining a treatment plan. We also offer Care Credit, so chatting with our financial coordinator to assess your options is another helpful step to obtaining your dream smile within your financial means.

You may have healthy teeth but are looking for a restoration option that covers abnormally shaped teeth or stains. We will treat you like family! It is essential for your cosmetic dental plan to be tailored to your individual circumstances to achieve the best possible result.
