Veneers
Veneers are small, custom-made pieces of porcelain that we attach to the outward-facing services of teeth. Their purpose is to disguise imperfections, such as discoloration, chips, cracks, small gaps, and more. They are highly resistant to stains and have the potential to last for 10 – 15 years or more. Our practice is proud to offer both traditional veneers and Lumineers, a special type of veneer that requires little to no tooth preparation.
Metal-Free Restorations
If you have a damaged tooth, you might worry that getting a crown to repair it will negatively affect the way your smile looks. Indeed, many traditional crowns are made of metals, which clash horribly with the natural color of teeth. The good news is that most patients are candidates for metal-free restorations. These crowns are made of lifelike porcelain, which can be shade-matched to blend in seamlessly with the surrounding dentition.
Cosmetic Bonding
Cosmetic bonding, also known as direct bonding or dental bonding, involves the use of a tooth-colored resin that we mold onto the teeth. It can hide a range of aesthetic imperfections and is great for correcting small flaws that are negatively affecting your smile’s appearance. The treatment process is easy and non-invasive. It is also fast. In fact, it can usually be completed in a single appointment that takes less than an hour.
Teeth Whitening
Teeth naturally become discolored over time. If your smile looks a little yellow, dull, or lackluster, ask us if you are a candidate for teeth whitening. We use powerful whitening formulas that can brighten your smile by several shades in a short period of time! In-office whitening typically takes an hour or so, and take-home professional whitening kits usually produce optimum results after two weeks of consistent use.
Smile Makeovers
If you would like to totally transform the way your teeth look, you might be a candidate for a smile makeover. This comprehensive cosmetic treatment plan can involve multiple treatments, which will work together to help you achieve your desired results. Our practice even uses advanced software that can give you a realistic preview of your outcome. We can use it to adjust your cosmetic care plan as needed so you can commit to your smile makeover with confidence.
Understanding the Cost of Cosmetic Dentistry
Many patients worry about the cost of cosmetic dental work since it is not usually covered by dental insurance, but the truth is that these treatments can be quite affordable. During your consultation, the team at Seaside Dental of Jacksonville Beach will be happy to discuss your needs and preferences so we can determine a suitable treatment that fits within your budget. Here’s a brief guide to how much cosmetic dental treatment can cost, but it’s always important to remember that achieving a smile that gives you confidence is priceless.
Which Cosmetic Dental Service Is Right for Me?
Most patients interested in cosmetic dentistry are interested in achieving whiter, straighter, or more shapely teeth. We offer effective treatments such as:
- Veneers: While these are a more costly option, they can address many dental flaws with a single treatment and can last for more than a decade if they receive excellent care.
- Metal-free restorations: These are priced similarly to veneers, but they may receive partial insurance coverage if they are used to rebuild damaged or infected teeth.
- Cosmetic bonding: This affordable, noninvasive, and painless treatment can fix minor chips, cracks, stains, and gaps and last for several years with proper care.
- Teeth whitening: Mid-range in terms of cost, this treatment can lift stubborn dental stains and discoloration and leave teeth up to eight shades whiter.
- Smile makeovers: We can design a customized treatment plan that includes any number of cosmetic and restorative procedures to rebuild and beautify your grin. Each treatment included will be noted on your bill, but some may qualify for partial insurance coverage if they are used to repair teeth.
Cosmetic Dentistry Can Be an Investment Worth Making
Whie cosmetic dentistry may seem like a large financial commitment at first glance, it can also be seen as a smart investment that may pay dividends over time. Having a smile you can be confident in can make it easier to meet people, build rapport, win trust, close sales, and leave a favorable impression. By giving you a more beautiful grin, cosmetic dentistry may set you up to land a lucrative new job or even a juicy promotion.
How to Make Cosmetic Dentistry Affordable
While cosmetic work is rarely covered by insurance, we want to ensure that aesthetic treatments can be affordable for our patients. We partner with CareCredit, a third-party financier that can break your bill into smaller monthly installments that are easy to manage. During your consultation, we’ll be happy to go over your payment and financing options and help you find out if your treatment can qualify for any coverage.
