You have more options than ever before to address common aesthetic flaws without costing you an arm or a leg. You can invest in the priceless benefits of an attractive smile without compromising quality or aesthetics. Your cosmetic dentist can turn the smile of your dreams into reality while staying within your budget.

Affordable Cosmetic Dental Procedures

People from all walks of life can invest in cosmetic dentistry because of the diversity of treatments available. There’s a solution to fit your needs and budget. Your cosmetic dentist will examine your mouth and learn more about your situation to determine which procedures are right for you, which may include:

  • Porcelain Veneers: Veneers are a cost-effective solution because they can fix many issues at once using a minimally invasive procedure. You won’t have to pay for multiple treatments or undergo lengthy procedures.
  • All-Ceramic Restorations: Ceramic restorations look and feel like natural teeth. You can use your dental insurance to offset the cost if they are medically necessary, like fixing a broken tooth.
  • Direct Bonding: A composite resin is shaded to the color of enamel to blend in with a tooth when used to fix minor cosmetic and restorative issues, like chips or decay. It offers a lot of bang for your buck because it is affordable, convenient, and effective.
  • Teeth Whitening: Teeth whitening can turn back the clock to reveal a vibrant smile. Your teeth can get up to 8 shades whiter using a professional whitening system.
  • Invisalign: Invisalign is a discrete method to fix bite and alignment problems. Clear aligners are worn over your teeth to move them into position. In some cases, dental insurance can cover some of the cost.

Options to Pay for Cosmetic Dentistry

You have several options to pay for a picture-perfect smile, which may include:

  • Dental Insurance: Dental insurance doesn’t cover elective procedures unless they are medically necessary. However, your benefits may pay some of the expenses for your consultation, diagnostic services, or preliminary procedures.
  • In-House Savings Plan: Many dental practices offer an in-house savings plan. Joining their membership program allows you to benefit from discounted services.
  • Financing: Based on your credit approval, you can pay any out-of-pocket expenses using a monthly payment plan through a third-party financing company, like CareCredit. 

Your cosmetic dentist will help you achieve a confident, beautiful smile that won’t cost you your life’s savings. You can’t put a price on the benefits you’ll gain by improving your smile with cosmetic dentistry.
