Veneers

Veneers are thin shells that hide all types of imperfections by adhering to the front surfaces of teeth. They’re custom-made to reflect the natural shade of enamel as well as align with the preferred size and shape of each tooth. Veneers can take two dental appointments and require the removal of a small portion of enamel. Once in place, they can last 15+ years.

Metal-Free Restorations

When you want a restorative solution to protect a damaged or decayed tooth, you don’t have to settle for traditional metal. With metal-free options, you can enjoy a natural-looking appearance while also remaining confident in the protection these restorations provide. Whether you need a filling, crown, inlay, onlay, or bridge, we can craft them to blend in so that no one will ever be able to tell the difference between your real and artificial teeth.

Cosmetic Dental Bonding

Minor tooth problems such as chips, gaps, cracks, or discoloration can be treated with cosmetic dental bonding. We use a tooth-colored composite resin that is applied directly to the tooth enamel and sculpted into place. A special UV light hardens the resin, delivering a beautiful, polished look that adequately covers the flaw and produces a new and improved smile in just a single appointment.

Teeth Whitening

BOTOX and dermal fillers can be ideal additions to any cosmetic treatment plan because of their safety and effectiveness. Although other services are designed to target problem areas on your teeth and gums, BOTOX and dermal fillers can rejuvenate your facial features by smoothing out wrinkled skin as well as adding volume to scarred or sunken areas. Investing in facial esthetics will have you seeing a more youthful appearance in no time.

Smile Makeovers

Cosmetic Dentistry Can Be an Investment Worth Making

If you’re on the fence about enhancing your smile with cosmetic dentistry because you’re worried it’s a frivolous use of your resources, it might help to know that there are additional benefits associated with improving your appearance.

For example, did you know that studies show that having dental flaws has been negatively associated with the probability of being employed? One of the first things people notice is the quality of your teeth, and addressing aesthetic concerns can boost your confidence. This can, in turn, contribute to more meaningful relationships, an engaging social life, and better professional and educational achievements.

How to Make Cosmetic Dentistry Affordable

Dental insurance can often help reduce out-of-pocket costs for different treatments, but unfortunately, most plans don’t include cosmetics because they’re intended to improve your looks more than prevent dental problems. But there may be exceptions, or your policy might cover aspects of your visit, like any necessary exams or images, to help lower the cost.

We also believe that everyone deserves to have a flawlessly gorgeous grin regardless of their financial situation, so we also accept flexible payment plans through CareCredit. If your application is approved, these low- to no-interest options let you split your total invoice into more manageable installments over a designated period, which can be easier on your budget.

Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs

Is Cosmetic Dentistry Expensive?

Many people mistakenly assume that services intended to enhance their appearance must surely be priced out of their budget and never schedule a cosmetic consultation. But our team in Rocky River believes that everyone deserves to have a beautiful smile that boosts their confidence, regardless of their financial situation.

As a result, we proudly offer multiple procedures to help address aesthetic concerns in your teeth, so you’re more likely to find an option you can afford. We also happily accept CareCredit payment plans. If your application is approved, you can divide your total invoice into more manageable installments.  

Is Cosmetic Dentistry Considered Safe?

Are you concerned that you might harm your oral health by investing in procedures intended to improve your appearance? Fortunately, these treatments are generally considered safe for most people when provided by a licensed professional, like one of our dentists in Rocky River.

Our team has undergone advanced training in multiple areas, including cosmetic procedures, and participates with various organizations, including the American Dental Association, the American Academy of Facial Esthetics, and the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, to stay current with the latest treatment trends.  

How Long Does Cosmetic Dentistry Last?

It’s natural to have questions about how long you can expect to enjoy the results of your recent enhancement, but the answer depends significantly on your unique circumstances and the procedure(s) you choose.

For example, professional teeth whitening typically lasts from six months to three years and may require periodic touch-ups to maintain the perfect shade. Meanwhile, some treatments, such as porcelain veneers, can last 15+ years if cared for properly.

Usually, you can help maintain your upgraded grin by brushing and flossing twice daily to prevent common concerns like staining, cavities, and gum disease. Also, visiting our team for a routine checkup and cleaning every 6 months allows us to monitor your oral health and preserve your smile.  

How Do I Know if I Need Cosmetic Dentistry?

Potentially, anyone who isn’t 100% pleased with the way their smile looks when they catch a glimpse of their reflection in the mirror could benefit from one or more of these treatments. But that doesn’t mean that every option is the right way to meet everyone’s unique needs.

Before proceeding, you must consult one of our providers in Rocky River to discuss your concerns and goals, and to allow us to examine your current condition. Then we can devise an appropriate treatment plan to boost your confidence, based on our findings and your individual circumstances.
