Veneers
Veneers are a versatile cosmetic treatment that can address several imperfections at once. They’re thin, porcelain sheaths that are customized to fit over the visible portions of individual teeth to conceal damage, discoloration, and slight misalignment. Once secured over the prepared surfaces, they’ll reveal a symmetrical, bright, and pristine set of teeth. With the proper maintenance, they can last for 25 years or more.
Metal-Free Dental Crowns
In the past, metals like silver and gold were used to craft restorations like dental crowns and fillings. Not only were these highly noticeable whenever someone smiled or laughed, but they also caused sensitivity and tooth discoloration over time. We craft our restorations out of high-quality dental materials like zirconia and ceramic because they’re durable and blend in with the surrounding teeth.
Teeth Whitening
It can be tempting to throw your money into the void of store-bought teeth whitening products, but the truth is, you’ll likely never get the results you’re looking for that way. Instead of wasting your money, you can invest in our customized in-office treatment. We utilize professional-grade, concentrated ingredients that can brighten your smile by up to eight shades, offering virtually guaranteed results.
Understanding the Cost of Cosmetic Dentistry
Because many dental insurance plans don’t include cosmetic services, it’s natural to worry whether you can afford to upgrade your grin. Dr. Smith offers multiple treatments that can enhance your appearance and is happy to work with you to find solutions that work for your wallet. There are several options to choose from at varying price points so that you can have the beautiful smile that you deserve.

Which Cosmetic Dental Service is Right for Me?
Whether you want to brighten, reshape, or even out your teeth, Dr. Smith can help. The following options can address many different aesthetic flaws to perfect your smile and boost your confidence:
- Teeth whitening. This simple and cost-effective method can lighten your grin by up to 8 shades for immediate results.
- Metal-free restorations. In the past, fillings and other restorations were made of metal amalgam that wasn’t visually appealing. We can replace them with lifelike ceramic materials that are color-matched to your natural teeth. Pricing depends on how many you require, where they are located, and how they’re made.
- This versatile method masks one or several imperfections simultaneously. These thin porcelain shells are bonded to the front surface of teeth to hide chips, cracks, and slight gaps or crookedness. They’re often more expensive upfront, but with the right care, they can last 15+ years.
- Gum recontouring. Gum overgrowth can leave your teeth looking shorter than they are, and removing the excess tissue can restore a more balanced appearance. The rate can depend on how much work is required to achieve the desired outcome.
Is Cosmetic Dentistry Worth the Investment?
Dental insurance policies usually don’t cover the cost of cosmetic work, so it’s natural to wonder whether it’s worth the personal investment of time and resources. If you’re not happy with the way your smile looks when you see your reflection in the mirror, then you can potentially benefit from upgrades. Flaws in your teeth can leave you feeling anxious about how others will perceive you, which can impact your mood and social life. You’re less likely to spend time with people when you’re overly concerned about being judged.
Addressing imperfections in your teeth can increase your self-confidence, which can positively influence your relationships, career, and overall quality of life.
How to Make Cosmetic Dentistry Affordable
We believe that everyone deserves to have a beautiful grin that they’re proud to show off, and we’re happy to work with you to help make treatments more budget-friendly. The following programs can help you afford different services:
- Flexible financing. CareCredit is a third-party financer that allows you to break down your total invoice into more manageable installments if your application is approved.
- In-house memberships. For one annual fee, you can join a plan that covers basic dental care and includes discounts on several other procedures.
If you’re still unsure about the best treatment to improve your smile, the best way to decide is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Smith. He’ll discuss your goals with you and suggest solutions based on your current dental condition. Our team will provide detailed pricing and walk you through the information. Rest assured, we won’t move forward until you’re comfortable with the details and have given us the green light to proceed.
