Porcelain Veneers
Sometimes, cosmetic bonding and teeth whitening aren’t enough to improve your smile. If you’re dealing with several types of cosmetic issues, you could likely benefit from porcelain veneers. Porcelain veneers are thin laminates applied to your teeth. They look natural and beautiful, and they can give you a whole new smile in just two visits.
Metal-Free Dental Restorations
Metal-free restorations are actually made of 100% dental porcelain, which means they are not only extremely strong, but they can also be shaped and shaded to perfectly match real enamel. This makes them the perfect solution for damaged/decayed teeth that show prominently when you smile. With this material, we can create restorations so lifelike that even our staff has trouble telling them apart from real teeth!
Dental Bonding
We use direct bonding to cover dark spots, chips, and small fractures. It can also close up spaces and fix broken or misshapen teeth. Direct bonding is a dental material that we first shade to match your teeth. We then place it on your tooth, mold it, shape it, and smooth it out. When the bonding material is ready, we’ll harden it with a special light. The final step is to polish the bonding and your tooth to create a beautiful, natural-looking result.
Invisalign
Have you always wanted to straighten your teeth but the thought of getting braces held you back? Now, you can get the solution you need without the mouthful of metal thanks to Invisalign. This system uses a series of nearly invisible clear plastic aligner trays to shift the teeth in the most discreet and comfortable way possible. They are also easily removable, meaning you can take them out whenever it’s time to eat or brush your teeth.
Teeth Whitening
The best way to brighten your smile is with professional teeth whitening. We offer a take-home option. We use Nitewhite and Daywhite for our take-home kits.
Smile Makeovers
Sometimes one treatment is not necessarily enough to meet your specific smile goals. With the help of a smile makeover, our dental office can break down each cosmetic service in more detail, then build a treatment plan that’s completed over the span of multiple visits to help you achieve your dream smile. The last thing we want to do is give a one-size-fits-all approach. After all, your smile is unique, which means your treatment should be reflected as such too!
Understanding the Cost of Cosmetic Dentistry
It’s understandable to be concerned about the cost of cosmetic dentistry in Painesville. Most services are not covered by dental insurance, so many wonder if it’s an affordable option. Fortunately, at Painesville Dental Group, our team will help you better understand the financial obligations that are required and determine which payment option is right for you. There are multiple services to choose from, each with different price points, so we’ll make sure you achieve your smile goals while staying within your budget.
Which Cosmetic Dental Service is Right for Me?
Some patients may only have a small chip they want to address; however, most individuals seeking help with cosmetic dentistry are looking to address multiple imperfections. An example of this might be whiter pearly whites, a straighter smile, or cracked or broken teeth. Our team will be happy to help you determine which service(s) can help you feel more confident in your appearance:
- Veneers: This costlier solution requires custom-made restorations and the removal of a small portion of tooth enamel; however, the results are long-lasting (10+ years), and they can transform the size, shape, and color of your teeth.
- Metal-Free Dental Restorations: Choosing metal-free dental restorations to address the cosmetic imperfections of your smile can quickly add up depending on how many teeth need to be treated. However, their aesthetic benefits as opposed to traditional metal allow for optimal protection and beauty.
- Teeth Whitening: As a fast and affordable way to whiten your teeth, you can complete the process on your own time with our custom take-home kits. These produce longer-lasting, more beautiful results than store-bought varieties.
- Smile Makeovers: This might be the most expensive option, especially if you require multiple cosmetic services. Designed to combine several treatments into one plan, a smile makeover can truly transform your appearance in the most efficient frame of time.
- Dental Bonding: If you need minor improvements (i.e., small chips, stains, minor gaps, etc.), this option is highly affordable and can be completed in just one visit to our office. The results can also last 5-7 years; however, this is dependent on how well you take care of your smile.
- Invisalign: Achieving a straighter smile with Invisalign is an investment in time and money, but it is worth it once you see the beautiful results. Not only will your oral and overall health improve, but your smile will be visually pleasing as well.
Cosmetic Dentistry Can Be an Investment Worth Making
When considering cosmetic dentistry, we understand that it is a financial commitment, but it’s also an investment not just in your aesthetics but also in your overall health. The benefits you can expect to receive when opting for veneers, teeth whitening, or any of the other available services allow for greater self-esteem and improved mental and emotional well-being. This will not only positively impact your social relationships but also your professional opportunities.
How to Make Cosmetic Dentistry Affordable
When seeking cosmetic dentistry for purely aesthetic reasons, you should not expect your dental insurance to help cover any of the costs. These are deemed “elective” treatments, so they’re not medically necessary, thus they won’t be covered by your insurance company.
However, there are exceptions, such as a metal-free dental restoration to fix a badly damaged or decayed tooth.
Also, at Painesville Dental Group, we offer flexible financing through CareCredit – a third-party company that allows you to pay off your treatment over time instead of upfront, all at once. They have no hidden fees or charges, and you won’t be penalized by making additional payments. You can choose from one of their many low-or-no-interest payment plans.
Another option is our in-house membership plan, which makes it easy to save. For a low, flat fee, you can get traditional preventive services without worrying about deductibles, annual maximums, or waiting periods. You’ll also receive 15% off any additional service provided in-house.
