Porcelain Veneers
Made from stain-resistant porcelain that closely resembles natural enamel, veneers are a very thin type of restoration attached to the front of your teeth. Doing so allows them to hide discoloration, cracks, and teeth that are worn down or irregularly shaped; they can even be used to close small gaps or make minor alignment corrections. Veneers are often the treatment of choice for patients that want to make extensive changes but don’t want to undergo multiple procedures.
Lumineers®
Like porcelain veneers, Lumineers® are also thin shells that can be used to hide multiple cosmetic flaws in the smile. The difference is that Lumineers are much thinner. This means we don’t need to remove as much healthy tooth structure to make room for them. As such, there’s no need to wear temporaries while you wait for your Lumineers to be made, and you won’t have to worry about making irreversible changes to your teeth.
Metal-Free Dental Restorations
Not looking forward to getting a metal crown? At Legacy Dentistry, we can make restorations out of tooth-colored materials and customize them so that they closely resemble your other teeth. A crown made from ceramic or fillings that consist of composite resin can blend in with the rest of your teeth so well that most people won’t even be able to tell the difference. You can even receive a purely cosmetic crown under the right circumstances.
Dental Bonding
Direct bonding is often the quickest fix for minor cosmetic issues. Applying composite resin directly to the surface of a tooth lets us alter its color, shape, and length. This procedure is very versatile, and unlike veneers, you won’t have to make a second appointment; it can be done in one visit over the course of 30 to 60 minutes. As long as you take good care of your teeth, you can enjoy the improvements made by direct bonding for up to 10 years!
Teeth Whitening
Wish you could have a brighter smile? Our dental office uses the Opalescence Boost Teeth Whitening System in order to treat severely darkened enamel. During the in-practice procedure, a special gel is applied to your teeth and left in place for about 15 minutes. After about three or four applications, the ingredients in the gel will have bleached the teeth, resulting in a dramatic improvement in their overall shade. We can also offer a take-home whitening kit if you’d rather have the changes made at home on your own time.
Smile Makeovers
Virtually everyone wants a perfect row of teeth, but some smiles will require a little more attention than others. When there are just too many cosmetic problems to count, we can plan what’s known as a smile makeover. We’ll figure out what treatments would be best for making the desired corrections in your case and appropriately combine them. Rest assured that Dr. Nguyen will always look for the most conservative solutions that will leave you with the brightest smile.
Understanding the Cost of Cosmetic Dentistry
At this point, you might worry about the cost of cosmetic dentistry. After all, aesthetic procedures usually aren’t covered by dental insurance. It’s thus easy to think that cosmetic work would “break the bank.” However, you can trust Legacy Dentistry to help with the financial details. When you visit for your initial consult, we’ll review our available services and various financing options. To learn more about how that would work, just keep reading or call us!
Which Cosmetic Dental Service is Right for Me?
When a patient gets cosmetic dentistry, they usually aim for whiter teeth, straighter teeth, or differently shaped teeth. That said, the relevant procedures have different prices and effects. Therefore, you should learn about our cosmetic services to ensure ideal care. To that end, consider the following treatments:
- Dental Bonding – Using tooth-colored resin, this procedure corrects minor smile flaws – small chips, stains, etc. While quick to apply, though, its results aren’t long-lasting. In fact, you’ll likely need a touch-up in just a few years.
- Teeth Whitening – Teeth whitening relies on a special gel to remove tooth stains. However, it’s moderately priced and only affects tooth color.
- Metal-Free Restorations – Metal-free ceramic crowns protect damaged teeth from decay. They also blend seamlessly with your smile. Still, such features make them a bit pricy.
- Porcelain Veneers – Veneers are thin porcelain shells placed on the fronts of teeth; they’re used to hide various dental flaws. Even so, this versatility also means veneers are rather expensive. Fortunately, our practice also offers Lumineers – veneers that are thinner and cheaper.
- Invisalign – This treatment straightens crooked teeth subtly and effectively. In exchange, it’s a big financial commitment that can cost thousands of dollars.
Cosmetic Dentistry Can Be an Investment Worth Making
Granted, cosmetic dentistry is sometimes expensive. Even so, the fact remains that it’s a great investment that pays off over time.
You see, cosmetic dental work has invaluable advantages. In particular, it’ll transform your smile such that you have higher confidence. That enhanced attitude, in turn, will improve your relationships with family, friends, coworkers, and more. You may even land better job prospects with your disarming grin. From there, your quality of life will only rise!
How to Make Cosmetic Dentistry Affordable
While cosmetic dentistry usually isn’t covered by insurance, other ways exist to make it affordable. Legacy Dentistry, for instance, has these three options:
- • Special Offers – Our practice is running a special offer on Invisalign. With it, you could cover aligner treatment for as little as $399 per month.
- • Membership Savings Plans – For a moderate monthly (or yearly) fee, you can join our dental savings plan. It would give you (among other things) 10-25% off any cosmetic procedures!
- • Flexible Financing – By working with various third-party services, our team can let you break up the cost of care. That way, you could pay for cosmetic dentistry over time instead of all at once.
If you want to know any other financial facts, book a consultation with us! We at Legacy Dentistry would love to give you a pretty, budget-friendly smile.
