As an example, tooth replacement used to take weeks or months to successfully complete. Now we are able to replace teeth safely and effectively in the same day! Your treatment will be discussed at your first evaluation.

What Benefits Can I Expect?

Both cosmetic dentists and their patients who have been through cosmetic dental procedures will agree, there are valuable benefits that come with a healthy smile. Some of the more popular advantages of cosmetic dentistry are:

  • Natural looking teeth
  • Correction and balance of bite
  • Decreased wear and tear on teeth
  • Increased function of teeth
  • Decreased risk of decay and infection
  • Increased strength of the teeth and bones
  • Protection of existing teeth

Alongside these benefits, your self-confidence and your self-esteem increases considerably when you realize you have an aesthetically pleasing smile that you do not have to hide. Your smile becomes an asset to show off at social gatherings rather than something to be ashamed.

Which Procedure Is Right for Me?

There are a few factors when considering cosmetic dentistry. Not all procedures will be appropriate for you. Before any cosmetic dentistry will be performed, we will evaluate the health and integrity of your bone, teeth, and gums.

To begin creating your ideal treatment plan, the team at DC Dental Spa will complete a number of examinations to evaluate your mouth in its current state. These exams could include:

  • Comprehensive Oral Exam
  • X-rays (types ranging depending on need)
  • Radiographs
  • Periodontal (gum) and oral cancer exam
  • Impressions
  • Bite Analysis & TMJ Analysis

After these required exams are completed, we will create a cosmetic treatment plan perfect for achieving your desired smile. Sometimes more extensive restorations may be necessary due to the loss of functionality or spread of disease/decay which might even add extractions. All of this will be addressed at your consultation. We will make any procedural decisions together.

How Much Does Cosmetic Dentistry Cost?

Cosmetic dentistry is slowly becoming more acceptable as a necessity rather than a luxury. Procedures that focus on returning the functionality to your oral cavity can be critical in the prevention of infection or wear and tear on your existing healthy teeth. The cost of cosmetic dentistry will be determined by the severity of the issues, the number of procedures, the materials used, and your dental insurance plan. DC Dental Spa can assist with your insurance coverage and we also offer payment plans.

Cosmetic dentistry can change your life. Your teeth may be one of the smallest parts of your body, but the effects they can have are significant. You may have healthy teeth, but your restoration option might be addressing abnormally shaped teeth or stains. When it comes to dental procedures, every patient is unique! Your teeth and gums are as unique as your fingerprints. Therefore, it is essential for your cosmetic dental plans to be tailored to you and your circumstances.
