Porcelain Veneers

A go-to treatment for famous actors and singers alike, the porcelain veneers procedure involves placing thin ceramic coverings over the teeth that can change their shape, size, and color to whatever you want. They can disguise a broad range of flaws, such as stains, chips, cracks, and even minor misalignment. They are always custom-made to deliver the best results. You can get one veneer or an entire set in just two appointments in our dental office.

Want to fix an annoying chip, stain, or gap, but want to do so in the most budget-friendly way possible? Direct bonding is the perfect balance of affordability and efficacy. This treatment can dramatically improve the appearance of your most unattractive teeth. A composite resin is applied to the tooth, and then we sculpt it in such a way that it hides any flaw. The procedure only takes about an hour and is very comfortable. The results can last for up to 10 years.

Gum Contouring/Crown Lengthening

Does a lot of gum tissue show whenever your smile, causing your teeth to look short and stubby? This is known as a “gummy” smile, and it is a very common issue. We can fix this problem here at New Haven Dental Group. Using our soft tissue laser, we can painlessly remove any extra gum tissue to make your teeth appear longer. We can then reshape the new gum line along the teeth or place a crown or veneer over a tooth to finish the cosmetic transformation.

Smile Makeovers

For some patients, just one procedure is not enough to help them achieve their cosmetic goals for their teeth. For such individuals, we recommend our smile makeover plan. We design a fully personalized treatment plan that consists of multiple procedures that will work together to dramatically enhance the appearance and health of your teeth at the same time. Over the course of multiple appointments, we can turn the look of your dreams into a beautiful reality that you will enjoy for many years to come.

Which Cosmetic Dental Service Is Right for Me?

We offer numerous cosmetic services at a range of price points. Whether you want to brighten your smile, straighten it, or change the size/shape of your teeth, there may be a cosmetic treatment that is within your budget.

  • Teeth whitening is one of the lowest-priced services. It starts at just a few hundred dollars and may be able to brighten your smile by several shades in a short period of time.
  • Direct bonding, also known as dental bonding or cosmetic bonding, uses a tooth-colored resin to disguise flaws in teeth. It starts at just a few hundred dollars per tooth.
  • Veneers are thin, custom-crafted pieces of porcelain that get attached to the outward-facing surfaces of teeth. They can hide many imperfections and have the potential to last for decades. They are costlier than other options, but their longevity makes them an excellent value.
  • Orthodontic options, such as Invisalign and traditional braces, tend to cost at least a few thousand dollars. They are ideal for individuals whose dental misalignment is severe enough to interfere with the health and aesthetics of their smile.
  • A smile makeover combines multiple cosmetic services. It is the most expensive option, but it is also the most efficient and powerful way to transform the appearance of your teeth.

Cosmetic Dentistry Can Be an Investment Worth Making

Because cosmetic dentistry represents a big financial commitment, you might be wondering if it is worth it. Many patients would say yes! Here are a few advantages that you may enjoy as a result of cosmetic services:

  • Increased confidence
  • A more youthful appearance
  • Greater success in the workplace
  • The ability to make a powerful first impression
  • Increased motivation to take excellent care of your teeth
  • A higher quality of life overall

How to Make Cosmetic Dentistry Affordable

Dental insurance almost never covers elective services, so you should not expect your plan to help you pay for teeth whitening, veneers, or other treatments whose benefits are primarily aesthetic. However, your insurance might cover metal-free restorations or other services that can support your oral health while also improving your appearance.

Other provisions that might make it easier to afford your cosmetic treatment include:

  • Our team accepts third-party financing through CareCredit and Sunbit. Most patients are eligible for a low-interest payment plan.
  • We are proud to offer FREE smile makeover consultations!
  • Essential Dental plan. This discount plan is easy to sign up for and provides reduced prices for almost all of the services available in our office.

Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs

Is Cosmetic Dentistry Expensive?

Cosmetic dentistry can vary widely in cost; fees depend on the type of treatment you choose and the complexity of your case. Some procedures, such as teeth whitening, are more affordable, while others, like veneers or dental implants, require a greater investment.

Our practice offers a range of options, and we work closely with patients to find a treatment plan that fits within their budget. We also offer convenient low-interest financing through third-party companies.

Is Cosmetic Dentistry Covered by Insurance?

Generally, most cosmetic dental procedures are not covered by standard dental insurance policies because they are considered elective or non-essential. However, exceptions can occur if a procedure is necessary for functional or restorative reasons. This is often the case with crowns, tooth replacement, and a few other procedures. Our knowledgeable team is happy to review your insurance benefits with you to determine if any coverage applies to your proposed treatment.

Is Cosmetic Dentistry Safe?

Cosmetic dentistry is safe when performed by experienced and qualified dental professionals. Our practice adheres to strict safety and sterilization protocols, using advanced technology and high-quality materials. We prioritize your health and well-being at every stage, from the initial consultation to the completion of your cosmetic procedure. Severe adverse outcomes are very rare with cosmetic dentistry.

Before recommending any treatment, we conduct a comprehensive dental evaluation to ensure you are a suitable candidate. We will discuss potential risks and benefits with you, so you feel informed and comfortable moving forward.

How Do I Know If I Need Cosmetic Dentistry?

Most cosmetic services are elective; by their very definition, no one absolutely needs them. However, if you are unhappy with the appearance of your teeth — perhaps due to issues such as discoloration, chips, gaps, or misalignment — you may benefit from cosmetic dentistry. Our practice offers personalized consultations to help you explore your options and determine the treatments best suited to your goals.

As a result of undergoing cosmetic treatment, you may find that you experience many benefits. For example, your self-confidence could increase, and you may start to be perceived as younger, more successful, and more approachable.

How Long Does Cosmetic Dentistry Last?

The longevity of cosmetic results depends on the procedure, the quality of materials used, and how well you care for your teeth afterward. For example, teeth whitening results may last several months (or up to a few years in some cases), while veneers or crowns can endure for many years with proper maintenance.

Our team can provide advice to help your new smile stand the test of time. For example, we can coach you on things like oral hygiene, smart dietary choices, and more. Of course, you should also make it a habit to attend a routine dental cleaning and checkup every six months.
