Porcelain Veneers
Every time you watch a movie or turn on the TV, you’ve likely seen veneers. They are extremely thin ceramic coverings designed to look like flawless white enamel, and they are the secret behind many of Hollywood’s most beautiful smiles. They fit directly onto the teeth and are able to hide permanent stains, chips, cracks, gaps, and even straighten slightly crooked teeth. They are always custom-made to a patient’s specifications, and you can get them in as little as two appointments.

Lumineers
Lumineers are very similar to porcelain veneers and can deliver the same gorgeous results, but there is one big difference: Lumineers go directly onto the teeth as is. Porcelain veneers require a small amount of enamel to be removed so they can lie flat, but Lumineers are so thin and sleek that this step is completely unnecessary. They’re the ideal solution for someone wanting to get fast results without actually altering their natural smile. An analogy is like a contact lens effect.
Metal-Free dental Restorations
Metal-free restorations are the perfect marriage between durability and beauty. Made of 100% dental porcelain, they can be shaded to match any patient’s smile so they blend in effortlessly. This material is able to mimic the appearance of natural enamel so well that it even reflects light in the same way. With it, we can repair a tooth in such a way that a patient’s dental problem will look like it never existed.
Dental Bonding
Minor stains, chips, and gaps can all be taken care of in just an hour or less using direct bonding. For this procedure, we simply apply a naturally-colored composite resin to a tooth and sculpts it to perfection, hiding any flaw in the process. The treatment is fast, completely painless, and patients can look forward to their results lasting for 10 years or more. It’s also one of the most affordable cosmetic treatments available today!

Understanding the Cost of Cosmetic Dentistry
Patients are often a little bit intimidated by the price of cosmetic dentistry, especially considering that much of this care is unlikely to be covered by dental insurance. However, we still want to make it as easy as possible to pay for the care that you receive from us so that you can fully enjoy the beautiful new smile it affords you.
We’ll be sure to give you a complete estimate of what your dental care is going to cost when we meet you in person, but before then, here’s what you should know about the potential costs associated with cosmetic dentistry.
What Cosmetic Dental Service is Right for Me?
One of the most important parts of budgeting for your cosmetic dental care is selecting the treatment that’s best for you. There’s no shortage of treatments available to you and picking the one you need comes down to what you’re looking to change about your smile as well as what your budget looks like.
If you’re looking for treatments on the inexpensive side, direct bonding is capable of covering up a wide range of imperfections—chips, cracks, and discoloration—via the use of a tooth-colored resin. You might also be interested in teeth whitening, which can give you a smile up to eight shades whiter than the one you had before.
On the other hand, those willing to spend a little bit more may be interested in veneers. These thin shards of porcelain can cover the teeth completely, changing their apparent shape and color. Some combination of all of these treatments can also be completed via the use of a “smile makeover.”
We’ll be sure to tell you more about what each of these treatments might cost you, as well as which can help you, when we meet you in person.
Cosmetic Dentistry Can Be An Investment Worth Making
Cosmetic dentistry can certainly seem like a large financial commitment, but the fact is that you aren’t paying for nothing. What you’ll get for your money is an incredible smile and life-changing confidence. You’ll find that your social and professional life will both improve, allowing you to project your best self in any situation.
When you look at it this way, it’s easy to see that cosmetic dentistry is an investment in yourself and your happiness.
How to Make Cosmetic Dentistry Affordable
For the most part, purely aesthetic care is not covered by dental insurance. Most cosmetic dentistry falls under this umbrella—while there are some exceptions we can walk you through when we meet, you typically can not expect to have your cosmetic treatment covered by your dental plan.
Thankfully, we offer methods for our patients to make their care affordable outside of insurance. If you’re uncomfortable with the idea of paying for all of your cosmetic care all at once, you might be interested in financing services through CareCredit. Contingent upon credit approval, you could split the cost of your treatment across several months, often with little-to-no interest.

Cosmetic Dentistry Frequently Asked Questions
How Much Does Cosmetic Dentistry Cost?
The cost of cosmetic dentistry varies from case to case. For example, a patient who wants to improve the look of a single tooth with dental bonding will logically owe less than someone who commits to a full set of porcelain veneers. When you visit us for your consultation, our team will be sure to give you a candid estimate for the cost of your procedure. We will also help you explore your payment options. We work with both CareCredit and Lending Club to help our patients secure financing if they would like to break up the cost of their treatment into monthly installments.
What Are the Benefits of Cosmetic Dentistry?
The most obvious benefit of cosmetic dentistry is that it improves the appearance of teeth. However, its advantages go much further than that. Cosmetic dentistry can:
- Make you appear younger. Damaged, yellow, or otherwise flawed teeth are often associated with old age. Making over your smile could take years off your appearance.
- Boost your confidence. Looking your best can help you feel your best when you are meeting new people, having your photo taken, or just going about your everyday life.
- Improve your oral health. Some cosmetic treatments have inherent oral health benefits. Others may motivate you to maintain excellent dental hygiene habits due to your desire to keep your teeth looking amazing.
Whom Should I Choose as My Cosmetic Dentist?
Most dentists offer some cosmetic services, but that does not mean you should entrust just any dental professional to enhance your teeth. Our dentist is a highly educated, which means he has an in-depth knowledge of how teeth should be shaped in order to look and function at their best. He has also undergone extensive training in porcelain veneers, Lumineers, and other advanced cosmetic procedures.
