Which Cosmetic Dental Service Is Right for Me?

There's no flat fee for cosmetic dentistry because every mouth and situation are unique. Many things affect the cost, like the complexity of your case, materials, and the procedure. After examining your mouth and learning more about your goals, your cosmetic dentist in Sarasota will review all your options, which may include:

• Veneers: A veneer is a thin shell bonded to the front side of a tooth to enhance its size, shape, and color. Bonding them to the teeth visible when smiling can fix many issues at once, like stains, chips, and gaps.
• Teeth Whitening: Your teeth can get up to 8 shades whiter using a professional system. The powerful whitening agent is effective on surface and age-related stains
• Cosmetic Bonding: Composite resin is shaded to match the color of enamel to blend in with the tooth to fix minor flaws, like decay, exposed tooth roots, or chips.
• Tooth-Colored Fillings: A tooth-colored material is used to treat decay for a natural-looking and metal-free solution.

We will provide you with a personalized estimate and explain the fees. You'll know exactly what you will have to pay before committing to anything.

Cosmetic Dentistry Can Be an Investment Worth Making

You can't put a price on the benefits you'll gain from improving your smile. Research has found that people with attractive teeth are viewed as being younger, confident, and successful. Not only will you boost your self-esteem but also change the way people view you, which can lead to new job opportunities. Correcting certain aesthetic flaws can also improve your oral health to lower your long-term dental expenses. You can invest in a better outlook on life with cosmetic dentistry.

However, with so many treatments to choose from, it’s natural to have a few questions. For your convenience, we’ve gathered a few common questions we get about cosmetic dentistry below. If you don’t see the answers you’re looking for, give us a call and we’ll be happy to help!

Can Anyone Get Cosmetic Dentistry?

If you’re embarrassed by the appearance of your teeth or feel self-conscious about your smile, there’s a good chance that cosmetic dentistry is right for you! However, you may need to complete a few preliminary treatments before improving your pearly whites. Oral health issues like tooth decay, gum disease, and teeth grinding can make some services uncomfortable or even threaten their success. If we detect any warning signs of these issues, we’ll work with you to create a plan for getting your oral health back on track. Once your smile is healthy, we can move on to enhancing its appearance.

How Can I Tell Which Cosmetic Service Is Right for Me?

After discussing your goals and carefully inspecting your teeth, your Sarasota cosmetic dentist Dr. Tindal will fully explain all your options as well as his recommendations. To correct multiple issues at once, he may suggest a complex aesthetic rehabilitation to utilize several treatments to achieve the best results. We want you to feel 100% confident in any treatment you choose here at Tindal Prosthodontics, which is why we’re proud to offer virtual smile design. During your consultation, Dr. Tindal will take pictures of your teeth and digitally alter them to show you how each treatment changes their appearance. This preview will help you choose the results you like the best.

How Long Does Cosmetic Dentistry Take?

Just as no two smiles are the same, no two cosmetic dental treatments are exactly alike. There are multiple factors that go into determining how long it will take to improve your pearly whites, such as your age, oral health, and the severity of your case. Additionally, various treatments take different amounts of time to complete. For example, a quick and easy teeth whitening treatment may only take a single appointment, while designing, crafting, and placing a custom veneer may take several weeks.

Does Dental Insurance Cover Cosmetic Dentistry?

Every dental insurance policy is different, so we’ll be happy to review the details of your specific plan with you during your consultation. Unfortunately, most dental insurance companies don’t cover the cost of cosmetic treatments. That’s why we offer third-party financing through CareCredit and Compassionate Finance. With a low- to no-interest plan, you can break up the cost of your treatment into easy payments that fit into your monthly budget. During your consultation, we’ll go over your personalized estimate as well as just how affordable achieving the smile you’ve always wanted can be.
