Have questions about transforming your smile? Here are answers to what patients ask us most about cosmetic dentistry.
What is cosmetic dentistry, and how is it different from general dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry focuses on enhancing the appearance of your smile—think veneers, whitening, and smile design—while general dentistry addresses overall oral health, like cleanings and fillings.
Am I a good candidate for cosmetic dental treatments?
If you're in good oral health and want to improve the look of your teeth—whether it’s color, shape, alignment, or spacing—you’re likely a strong candidate. We’ll evaluate your goals during a consultation.
How long do cosmetic procedures like veneers or whitening last?
Veneers can last 10–15 years or more with proper care, while whitening results typically last 6–12 months depending on lifestyle habits. We’ll provide tips to extend your results.
Is cosmetic dentistry painful?
Most cosmetic treatments are minimally invasive and comfortable. We also offer sedation options to make your experience as relaxing and pain-free as possible.
How much does cosmetic dentistry cost, and is it covered by insurance?
Costs vary based on the treatment. Cosmetic procedures are usually not covered by insurance, but we offer financing options like CareCredit and Lending Club to make care more accessible.
How long does a smile makeover take?
Smile makeovers can take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months, depending on the complexity of your treatment plan. We’ll map it out clearly during your consultation.
Will my smile still look natural after cosmetic treatment?
Absolutely. Our approach is facially driven—designed to enhance your unique features and create a balanced, natural-looking smile that reflects who you are.
