A Beautiful Smile is About More than Aesthetics
You only have one shot at a first impression and research shows that a good first impression starts with a beautiful smile. While some feel that cosmetic dentistry is about the look of the patient, we know better. We know that when a patient has a whiter, brighter and straighter smile, they are more confident, open and actually healthier. So, for us, restoring our patients smiles isn’t about vanity… it’s about helping every person live their best life.
Treatment Options
Some of the cosmetic services we offer, include:
- Tooth Whitening: Avoid the potential damaging, and often ineffective, over-the counter tooth whitening products, and seek professional application of safe and non-toxic treatments with Beam Dental.
- Dental Bonding: Dental bonding is a treatment option available to help address minor issues, such as a chipped tooth, tooth discoloration, broken teeth or gaps. Simple and pain free, Dr. Marta will apply a tooth-colored composite resin to the area of concern and shape it to seamlessly blend with your other teeth.
- Crowns & Bridges: Easily addressing your broken, chipped or discolored teeth, Crowns & Bridges can be an effective treatment to restore a smile. A bit more invasive than dental bonding, but with minimum side effects or recovery time needed.
Are Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures Covered by Dental Insurance?
The coverage of cosmetic dentistry procedures by dental insurance is often contingent on the nature of the treatment. Generally, procedures performed solely for aesthetic purposes, such as teeth whitening or veneers for purely cosmetic reasons, may not be covered by insurance. However, if a cosmetic procedure also addresses functional concerns or contributes to overall oral health, there could be partial coverage. It’s crucial to thoroughly review your dental insurance policy and discuss potential coverage with your provider before undergoing any cosmetic dentistry treatment.
How Long Do The Results Of Cosmetic Dentistry Last?
The longevity of results in cosmetic dentistry is influenced by various factors, including the type of procedure and individual oral care practices. Teeth whitening, for instance, may require periodic touch-ups to maintain brightness, while procedures like dental veneers and implants are known for their durability. Consistent oral hygiene, regular dental check-ups, and lifestyle choices significantly contribute to the lasting impact of cosmetic dentistry. It’s essential to follow post-treatment care instructions provided by your dentist to maximize the longevity of the results.
