Cosmetic dentistry questions
Cosmetic dentistry combines art and science. Here are answers to the questions patients ask most.
Questions and answers
What is cosmetic dentistry, and how is it different from general dentistry?
General dentistry maintains the health of your teeth and gums; cosmetic dentistry improves and preserves the way your smile looks and feels. Common treatments include teeth whitening, contouring and reshaping, bonding, bridges, veneers, dental implants, tooth-colored fillings and smile makeovers.
Why should I see a cosmetic dentist?
A cosmetic dentist is trained to provide treatments that enhance your smile safely and effectively. If you have missing teeth, feel your teeth are crooked, do not like their color or shape, or simply want a refresh, a cosmetic dentist can help.
How long will each cosmetic treatment take?
Every smile is unique, and so is every treatment. Times vary, and some treatments are completed in one office visit.
Will my insurance cover cosmetic dental care?
Coverage and out-of-pocket costs vary. We give you several treatment options and coordinate with your insurance if coverage is available. You will know all of your costs up front, so you can choose the payment plan that suits your needs and budget.
