Choosing The Right Procedure

There are a several factors to keep in mind if you are considering cosmetic dentistry. The first thing to keep in mind is that not every procedure is appropriate for every patient. Before a procedure can be decided, your dentist will first have to determine the current health of your bones, teeth, and gums.

Once this has been established, you can begin consulting with your cosmetic dentist on what procedure would be best for you. During this visit, the dentist will perform several exams, which could include the following:

  • X-rays
  • Radiographs
  • Impressions
  • Comprehensive Oral Exam
  • Bite Analysis & TMJ Analysis
  • Radiographs
  • Periodontal and oral cancer exam

After these exams are complete, your dentist will create a plan that will work best for you. If you would like to discuss what procedure would work best for your needs, please do not hesitate to contact our staff to set up a consultation.

Cosmetic Dentistry Expectations

Each cosmetic procedure will vary in time, cost, and intensity depending upon the severity of your case and the type of procedure you are having done. That being said, many procedures that once took weeks or even months to complete can now be taken care of in just one or two appointments.

Benefits

Patients who have had cosmetic dentistry experience a wide range of benefits, including the following:

  • Aesthetically improved smile
  • Increased functionality
  • Decreased risk of infection and decay
  • Correction of bite
  • Increased strength and overall health of teeth
  • Decreased wear and added protection to remaining teeth

Aftercare

While there are no restrictions in terms of your cosmetic dentistry in general, it is important to continue practicing good dental hygiene by brushing and flossing your teeth at least twice daily and continue scheduling dentist appointments every six months. If you continue to take good care of your teeth, your teeth will continue to take good care of you.

Associated Costs

Like most dental procedures, what is covered by your insurance depends on your individual insurance plan. Still, costs can vary, come in to determine your needs and associated costs. Keep in mind, however, that your insurance plan may not cover 100% of the costs, so be prepared to pay some of the costs out of pocket. If you do not currently have dental coverage or would like to discuss payment options, please contact our staff to see what opportunities may be available.
