Smile Makeovers
Some smiles only need a few small improvements while others need a complete makeover. If your smile has so many flaws that you’re not sure where to start, our team can put together a personalized plan for you that combines multiple cosmetic dentistry procedures. We’ll explain how each treatment will take you one step closer to your dream smile, and we’ll go over the entire process with you so that you know what to expect. No matter how many aesthetic dental issues you have, our team can help you create a smile that you can be proud of!
Veneers
Dental veneers are thin, ceramic shells that are attached to the front of the teeth. They stand out from other cosmetic treatments because they can make multiple corrections at once. Does your smile suffer from discoloration, noticeable chips, small gaps, and crooked teeth? With veneers, we can effectively make all of these issues disappear. And because each veneer is customized to look as natural as possible, most people won’t even realize that you’ve had cosmetic work done.
Metal-Free Dental Restorations
Getting a crown used to mean your tooth would be covered by a dark-colored piece of metal that would draw the wrong kind of attention whenever you smiled. Today, though, you can get a metal-free EMAX crown that has been shaded to match the rest of your teeth, making it look completely natural. This way, you can repair and protect your tooth without having to worry about how it will affect your appearance in the long term.
Direct Bonding
Direct bonding is more of a “quick fix” than other cosmetic dentistry treatments. It’s usually completed in just one appointment, and we usually recommend it if there are only one or two corrections that you want to make. The treatment involves applying a small amount of composite resin to your tooth to cover up small chips, stubborn stains, and other flaws. The material will blend in with the rest of the enamel, allowing you to smile freely without having to worry about your appearance.
At-Home Teeth Whitening
Instead of trying to get rid of coffee stains with unreliable over-the-counter products, you can ask our team for a custom-made teeth whitening kit. It will contain custom trays and a bleaching agent that is much more powerful than anything you might find at the store. By wearing the trays filled with the agent as directed, you can significantly brighten your smile by multiple shades in as little as two weeks – all in the comfort of your own home.
Cost of Cosmetic Dentistry
The cost of cosmetic dentistry in Jackson will largely depend on the treatment you receive and whether you require any preparatory services before the appearance of your smile can be safely and effectively enhanced. At Lakeland Dental Care, our team will always provide you with a detailed cost estimate before you move forward with treatment, allowing you to ask questions and better understand your financial responsibility.
What Cosmetic Dental Service is Right for You?
The best way to narrow down what cosmetic treatments are a good fit for you is to determine what qualities of your smile you would like to enhance. Do you want to change the shape of your teeth, the alignment, or make your smile brighter? If you’re looking to change the color or shade of your smile or you feel like your teeth look stained, at-home teeth whitening may work best for you. If you want to change the shape or alignment of your teeth, veneers, tooth-colored restorations, Invisalign clear aligners or direct bonding may work best. Finally, if you want to boost several of your smile’s features, a smile makeover may be ideal for your needs.
Is Cosmetic Dentistry Worth the Investment?
The only person who can answer whether cosmetic dentistry is worth it is you! Our team at Lakeland Dental Care is happy to recommend services based on your smile goals, but we encourage you to think about what changes to your smile would help boost your confidence. If you have a specific timeline or budget in mind, our team can also take these into account to make sure your treatment plan fits your unique needs, making it worth your time and investment.
Options to Make Cosmetic Dentistry More Affordable
In some cases, cosmetic dental treatments may be covered by dental insurance plans if they serve a dual purpose of restoring or improving your oral health as well. Some of the treatments that straddle this line are tooth-colored restorations, dental bonding, and even Invisalign. However, it’s important to keep in mind that every plan is different, and our team will check your benefits to provide you with an overview of what your insurance may cover and out-of-pocket expenses.
If you find that you’re unable to pay for a large portion or all of your treatment up-front, our practice partners with flexible third-party financier, CareCredit. They will allow you to split the cost of your treatment into smaller, easy-to-manage monthly payments.
