Is cosmetic dentistry necessary?

Cosmetic procedures are not considered mandatory. If you have minor damage, imperfections, or discolored teeth, you don’t have to worry about the health or function of your smile. However, if the appearance of your smile makes you feel less than your best, considering cosmetic dentistry procedures to address these issues is common and encouraged.

Is cosmetic dentistry covered by dental insurance?

Since cosmetic dentistry doesn’t address the health of your smile or body, it is usually not covered by dental insurance. If you’re considering cosmetic dentistry work but worry about its cost, we invite you to explore our financial page to learn more about how we work to make your treatments affordable.

Why can’t I whiten my teeth at home?

You can! There are several options patients can explore over-the-counter. However, the whitening treatments provided by our expert staff can lift your smile more shades more quickly and with less risk. Over-the-counter methods can lead to sensitivity and enamel erosion if the instructions aren’t followed carefully. Further, it can take as long as six months to see results. In-office whitening treatments take as little as one visit and have little risk of permanent sensitivity issues.
