Porcelain Veneers
Veneers are thin sheaths of dental porcelain that fit over the fronts of teeth concealing any number of cosmetic irregularities. Whether patients have dental chips, cracks, stains, or gaps, porcelain veneers instantly transform their smiles. The process typically requires two appointments to complete. During an initial visit, we remove a small amount of tooth enamel to allow the veneer to blend seamlessly into the natural smile line. Then, we capture impressions that will be used by our dental lab to create the custom veneer, and finally, we place a temporary veneer to protect prepared dental structure. Once the final restoration arrives at our practice, patients return to exchange their temporary for the custom crafted porcelain veneer.
Metal-Free Restorations
Blurring the line between cosmetic and restorative dentistry, metal-free restorations (crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays) offer patients a fully repaired tooth or bite that looks as good as it feels. For those patients who have allergies or sensitivities to metal, these all-ceramic materials are also preferable. Crafted from a single block of dental grade porcelain, metal-free restorations are much less likely to chip, crack, or break over time, and as they wear, the restorations maintain their natural appearance blending seamlessly into patients’ smiles.
Cosmetic Bonding
Are you looking for a quicker cosmetic solution for a minor issue? Cosmetic bonding is proof that sometimes the smallest changes can have a significant impact. Simply applying composite resin to specific areas of the tooth allows us to hide small cracks, gaps, stains, and other cosmetic flaws. The material itself can be carefully molded and shaded so that it blends in with the tooth’s enamel. Unlike other cosmetic treatments, bonding can normally be completed over the course of one visit.
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is easily our most popular cosmetic dentistry solution. With the number of whitening toothpastes, mouth rinses, strips, and gels available in every grocery store, this likely comes as no surprise. However, unlike these store-bought products, professional whitening treatments are safe, comfortable, effective, and the results are much more predictable as patients are under the supervision of a professional from start to finish. We offer both in-office and take-home whitening products that brighten smiles up to ten shades.
Digital Imaging & Virtual Smile Design
In order to help our patients determine the right treatment plan to meet their unique smile goals, we use digital images and virtual smile design software to allow them to see the potential results before we ever begin treatment. We take a series of photos of their smiles, create sample images of results, and give them the opportunity to ask questions, make changes, and feel 100% comfortable with their treatment plan. In fact, patients can even take copies of the images home to get feedback from friends and family members.
Understanding the Cost of Cosmetic Dentistry
In most circumstances, you can’t depend on cosmetic dentistry to be covered by your insurance company. This may make you a little bit concerned about the prospect of paying for dental care, so we try and pay special attention to the needs of our cosmetic patients when thinking about budget.
We’ll consult with you about the financing care when we meet you in person, but until then, here’s what you should know about pricing out these treatments.
What Cosmetic Dental Service is Right for Me?
Typically, cosmetic dentistry aims to improve the color, alignment, or shape of your to make your smile in general more appealing. There are plenty of different treatments that can allow you to do this, and each of them is priced out a bit differently.
Direct bonding is a quick, easy, and inexpensive fix for various dental issues. Teeth whitening is also very effective at brightening your smile and is on the less expensive side.
Then there are the higher shelf treatments, like veneers and metal-free crowns. These treatments can completely change the way you look, but the materials that they use make them a little pricey.
The procedure you choose should come down to what you need and what you’re able to fit into your budget. We’ll help you make these calculations when we meet you in person.
Cosmetic Dentistry Can Be An Investment Worth Making
While the upfront cost can be intimidating, it’s worth remembering that what you’re getting for your money is confidence. If you’re someone who is unhappy with your smile, that can negatively impact your performance at work, how comfortable are with friends, and even your romantic success. By investing in beautiful teeth, you can make all of those things better than they’ve ever been before.
How to Make Cosmetic Dentistry Affordable
Considering that cosmetic dentistry is rarely covered by insurance, you’ll likely have to find other methods of making the care affordable if you think you’re not going to be able to pay out of pocket. Thankfully, we have an in-house membership plan that can make care considerably more affordable.
For a flat annual fee, we offer complimentary cleanings, x-rays, and a 15% discount on all the care that you receive from us. If you plan to see us more often—and you should if you’re getting dental work from us—this membership plan can make this kind of care much easier to pay for.
Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs
If you’re unhappy with your smile, your cosmetic dentist in Cherry Hill can help. You have more options than ever to achieve a picture-perfect smile, but it’s normal to have a few concerns before you’re ready to commit to any treatments. We understand you’re apprehensive, but there isn’t any reason to worry. Here are the answers to a few of the most common questions our patients ask us about cosmetic dentistry.
How are professional whitening treatments different from OTC products?
If you’ve ever used an OTC whitening product, you were likely disappointed with the result. Although there are a variety of whitening systems on the market, none of them contain professional-grade whitening agents. As a result, it’s unlikely they will produce noticeable or lasting improvement. Whitening systems from your dentist differ because they contain highly concentrated whitening agents. The specially formulated gel will deeply penetrate your enamel to get your teeth up to 8 shades brighter. Your results can last from a few months to several years, depending on how well you care for your smile, such as maintaining your oral hygiene. Overall, teeth whitening in Cherry Hill will deliver the results you deserve using safe, effective solutions.
Why are veneers so popular?
Many of your favorite celebrities and even some friends have used veneers in Cherry Hill to revamp their smiles. Veneers allow you to correct several issues at once to avoid needing multiple procedures. Not to mention, veneers are thinner than ever, so the procedure is less invasive and provides more natural-looking results. In as few as 2 appointments, you can treat discoloration, fix chipped teeth, or close gaps using a treatment that can last for a decade or longer with the correct care, like visiting your dentist regularly.
How long does cosmetic bonding last?
Many people choose cosmetic bonding in Cherry Hill because it is affordable and convenient. The composite resin material is durable to withstand the pressure of regular biting and chewing. On average, it lasts for about 5 to 10 years, but it’s not uncommon for it to thrive for much longer. You can promote the lifespan of dental bonding by maintaining an excellent oral hygiene routine at home, visiting your dentist regularly, and avoiding anything that might damage your smile, like using your teeth as tools. If your bonding falls off over time, your dentist can quickly replace it to restore your stunning smile.
How do I know I’m making the right decision?
