Porcelain Veneers

If you want to hide multiple imperfections that exist on your teeth, there is no better solution than porcelain veneers. These thin sheaths of dental grade porcelain are customized based on your desired color, size, and shape, and they can be placed on as many or as few teeth as you prefer. Our team at our Powdersville office will begin by examining your smile and designating the problem areas. After declaring you are eligible for treatment, we will need to remove a small portion of the enamel from the surface of each tooth that will receive a veneer. Not only does this allow the veneer to lay flat when placed, but it also ensures the bonding agent used to secure it will properly adhere to the tooth’s surface. We will then take impressions of your smile and send them off to a dental lab where technicians will create your custom veneers based on the noted specifications.

Once they arrive in our office, you will return to have your temporary veneers removed and your finalized restorations put into place. As long as you take proper care of your new smile, you can expect to enjoy your veneers for years to come.

Metal-Free Dental Restorations

Most dental insurance companies will not agree to cover cosmetic treatments of any kind; however, there are instances where cosmetic and restorative treatment can overlap, resulting in less money coming out of your pocket. When decay and damage plague one or more teeth, we can use metal-free dental restorations to not only fix the problem but also help you maintain a more aesthetically pleasing smile. Instead of relying on traditional amalgam that often shines a spotlight on your dental work, we use dental ceramic and metal-free crowns, bridges, and other restorative options to repair and strengthen a tooth’s structure.

While the process remains the same for traditional and metal-free restorations in that you will be required to visit our dental office in Powdersville 2-3 times before seeing final results, you will leave our office feeling more confident and pleased with your new (and more discreet) restoration.

Teeth Whitening

Most patients who hear the words “cosmetic dentistry” immediately think of teeth whitening. As this is one of the most popular methods of treatment available in our Powdersville office, our team can provide you with in-office care that produces a whiter, brighter smile in about an hour. Using products that are safe and reliable, we ensure there is no irritation to your soft oral tissues, and you will leave with a fully transformed smile that looks far better than when you arrived.

To offer even greater convenience, we are also pleased to provide you with the option to purchase at-home whitening kits to assist in regular touch-ups. Because teeth whitening is not designed to last a lifetime, you will need to reapply the whitening solution now and then to maintain lasting results.

Crown Lengthening

If it isn’t your teeth that have you feeling self-conscious, it may be your gum line. Most patients are unaware there is a safe and effective procedure designed to reshape and re-sculpt a person’s oral tissue. With crown lengthening, we can eliminate the “gummy” smile and elongate your teeth to reveal additional tooth structure. Not only is this process beneficial to improving your overall aesthetic, but it is also helpful should you need a dental crown or similar restoration and lack the available structure for effective placement.

How to Choose a Cosmetic Dentist

When it comes to finding the right cosmetic dentist in Powdersville, you likely have a list of criteria that needs to be met. After all, it is the look of your smile that you are putting into someone else’s hands, so why not make sure you’re dealing with the very best? Fortunately, our team is thoroughly trained and equipped to administer our available cosmetic treatments, but before you make a decision, it is best if you do your research and read plenty of reviews so that you can feel confident when moving forward with cosmetic treatment.

Understanding the Cost of Cosmetic Dentistry

At Tylan Creek Family Dentistry, we understand that price can play a role in the treatment you choose. Unfortunately, there isn’t a set price for each procedure because it is customized to the individual patient’s needs. If you want to know exactly how much your beautiful smile will cost, you’ll need to schedule a consultation with us. During this appointment, we’ll examine your teeth and gums as they are now and help put together a plan to give you the results you’re looking for.

Which Cosmetic Dental Service is Right for Me?

Although we can’t provide you with ranges of pricing, we can give you a general idea of what to expect for the treatments we provide:

• Veneers: The pricing of this treatment will depend on how many teeth are being treated and other factors, but it may be slightly less than getting metal-free restorations.
• Metal-Free Restorations: This more comprehensive correction surrounds the entire tooth, and it tends to be one of the more expensive cosmetic options.
• Teeth Whitening: Overall, teeth whitening only corrects discoloration, making it usually the most affordable, fastest solution to improve your smile’s appearance.
• Crown Lengthening: Like other cosmetic procedures, the cost of crown lengthening will vary with the number of teeth being treated.

Again, the only way to know how much each of these treatments will cost is to have a consultation with one of our talented dentists.

Cosmetic Dentistry Can Be a Worthwhile Investment

Investing in your smile is more than just perfecting your teeth. It can have priceless benefits for your self-esteem and confidence, changing how others view you and how you view yourself. In addition, a more appealing smile—and your renewed confidence—could lead to more or greater professional and social opportunities. In fact, studies have found that friendliness, the ability to work with others, and other soft skills are just as important to hiring employers as hard or technical skills. Who knows where your beautiful smile could take you?

How to Make Cosmetic Dentistry Affordable

An important concept to understand is that most dental insurance plans do not cover services that are purely for cosmetic purposes. This means you’ll be responsible for paying the entire cost out of pocket. However, we are willing to work with you on making your procedure fit within your budget by helping you apply for CareCredit financing.
