1. What is cosmetic dentistry?
With all of the modern advancements in
dentistry, more and more people have found that
they no longer have to go the dentist just to
repair a problem they have with their teeth. A
smile is one of the most important parts of your
face, and cosmetic dentistry aims to provide you
with the best smile possible.
Cosmetic dentistry covers all aspects of improving the look of your smile. This can be whitening your teeth, repairing chips or breaks, or replacing outdated restorations.
2. Is cosmetic dentistry expensive?
Cosmetic dentistry is almost always an elective
procedure, which means that the cosmetic
dentistry procedure you would like will not be
covered by insurance. Fortunately, our dentist
provides various payment and affordable
financing options.
Also, the cost of cosmetic dentistry depends on the type of procedure that you are having performed. During your initial consultation, our dentist will discuss with you what results you would like to see, and what treatments or procedures will be necessary to produce those results. You will be able to discuss the cost of the procedure and how you will pay for it also.
3. Can cosmetic dentistry close gaps in my
smile?
Yes. In the past the only way to close a gap in
your smile was years of commitment to
orthodontic work. Our dentist can use porcelain
veneers, dental bonding, or other cosmetic
dentistry techniques to close the gaps in your
smile. Our dentist also provides Invisalign at
A Unique Dental Experience® so that you can
close the gaps in your teeth without cosmetic
dentistry.
4. Can cosmetic dentistry correct the look of
my gums?
Yes. Many people come to A Unique Dental
Experience® because we provide laser gum
contouring. If you have gums that cover too
much of your teeth, you may want to have our
dentist contour your gums so that more of your
teeth show when you smile.
5. Can I replace my older metal restorations
with tooth-colored restorations?
Yes. our dentist exclusively uses tooth-colored
restorations for all his dental work, and he is
more than happy to replace your outdated dental
work with more durable, and better looking,
tooth-colored restorations.
Tooth colored restorations can vary from porcelain veneers to dental bonding or porcelain fillings.
