Veneers
Veneers are small coverings made from porcelain that can be bonded to the outer surfaces of teeth, immediately improving their appearance and masking any undesirable flaws or imperfections. Though the process for placing them does require slight alteration to the existing teeth, it’s safe, painless, and undeniably worthwhile. Veneers can address a wide range of aesthetic issues including chipped and cracked teeth, gaps between teeth, stubborn stains, and more – and they look beautifully natural!
Metal-Free Restorations
Traditionally, dental restorations have been made from different types of metals, usually collectively referred to as metal amalgam. Though durable, this material is often silver/gray in color, meaning it looks nothing like your original teeth! Here at Morgan Hill Dental Care, we’re excited to offer an alternative to these metal fillings that’s just as effective, but noticeably more natural-looking. These metal-free restorations are made from beautiful, resilient materials that can last for several years while also allowing you to smile confidently!
Cosmetic Dental Bonding
Cosmetic bonding, sometimes simply referred to as dental bonding, is one of the most versatile cosmetic treatment options that we offer here in our Morgan Hill dental office. It involves using a small amount of composite resin that is carefully molded and shaped over existing teeth, immediately masking any present flaws. The resin can also be shaded to match your natural teeth, and once it’s been placed, it can be hardened with a special curing light to ensure that it lasts for several years.
Teeth Whitening
These days, does your smile seem a little duller than it used to? If so, you might be wondering if teeth whitening can bring its former glory – and it absolutely can! Our practice offers two methods of teeth whitening: in-office whitening and take-home kits. The former is performed here in our office using professional-grade whitening agents. This process is quick and can manifest results rapidly. Take-home whitening kits are just as effective as in-office treatment, but with the added benefit of flexibility; patients can whiten their teeth on their own schedule and from the comfort of their home.
Gum Recontouring/Crown Lengthening
Do your gums cover up more of your teeth than usual? This issue, commonly referred to as a “gummy smile,” can certainly lead to confidence issues since your smile won’t look naturally symmetrical. But what’s worse is that it can also heighten the risk of certain oral health issues like tooth decay and gum disease. Thankfully, we can utilize a quick and straightforward process called gum recontouring (sometimes called crown lengthening) to reshape your gumline and ensure that the crowns of your teeth are the appropriate length.
Smile Makeovers
Some patients feel discouraged by the state of their smile and worry that there’s simply too much that needs to be done for them to enjoy a beautiful, picture-perfect grin. These situations often call for a smile makeover. This involves evaluating your smile, as well as your goals for it, and coming up with a personalized and streamlined treatment plan that includes multiple cosmetic (and sometimes restorative) dentistry services. Our practice utilizes digital smile design for this process to ensure that your results are up to your standards – we want you to be happy with your new grin for many years to come!
Understanding the Cost of Cosmetic Dentistry
Whether you want to make a few small cosmetic improvements to your smile or you’re interested in a more dramatic outcome, you’re likely curious about the cost of cosmetic dentistry in Morgan Hill. Fortunately, that’s where we come in. Although we can’t provide you with a price estimate without learning about your unique aesthetic concerns and goals, we can share some helpful information on the topic. So, read on!
Which Cosmetic Dental Service is Right for Me?
During your consultation, our team at Morgan Hill Dental Care will learn about the reason for your visit and complete a comprehensive oral exam before discussing the different smile-enhancing treatments we offer, including:
- Veneers – If you want to fix multiple imperfections at once, including noticeable gaps and stains, then we may recommend veneers. Although they typically require the largest upfront investment, they can conceal dental flaws like these seamlessly. Plus, they can last for 10+ years.
- Metal-Free Restorations – With high-quality dental materials, like porcelain, we can restore the look, health, and function of a damaged tooth. Not only that, but many dental insurance providers cover a portion of the cost because it falls under the restorative umbrella as well.
- Cosmetic Dental Bonding – Want to address a few small flaws, like a chip on your front tooth? If so, this is typically one of the most cost-effective options upfront. Just make sure to keep in mind the cost of upkeep when deciding if this is the ideal treatment for you.
- Teeth Whitening – We’re proud to offer in-office and take-home teeth whitening treatments. Both are typically more mid-range in terms of cost. However, the investment is well worth it, especially when compared to store-bought kits, which underdeliver time and time again.
Cosmetic Dentistry Can Be an Investment Worth Making
All too often, patients hesitate to pursue their dream smile. The reality is that addressing noticeable gaps, stains, and other common imperfections is incredibly easy, thanks to advancements in both technology and dentistry. Not only that, but having a gorgeous grin can positively impact everything from your professional success to your oral health. In fact, many patients often end up having a lower risk of tooth decay and gum disease because they are more motivated to adopt healthy habits, like brushing and flossing consistently.
How to Make Cosmetic Dentistry Affordable
Although there are a few exceptions, like metal-free restorations, most cosmetic dental treatments aren’t covered by dental insurance providers. The good news is that there is another way you can make the cost of your smile makeover more affordable: flexible financing. With CareCredit and Sunbit Financing, you can break up the cost of your treatment plan into smaller, budget-friendly chunks over the course of several months.
