Metal-Free Dental Restorations
When you have a damaged tooth that needs repair, the last thing you want is for your dental work to stick out like a sore thumb. With metal-free restorations, that worry is a thing of the past! Our team uses fillings, inlays, onlays, and crowns made from durable materials, such as composite resin and porcelain, that are designed to blend right in with your smile as a whole. Once placed, no one outside of our dental team will even know the restoration is there.
BOTOX
Laugh lines, crow’s feet, and other signs of aging in the face can really take a toll on your self-confidence. Luckily, our dentists’ expertise in the mouth and its nearby areas makes them qualified to administer BOTOX. When injected into particular parts of the face, BOTOX paralyzes overactive muscles, which makes the wrinkles flatten out and essentially disappear. As a result, you can take years or even decades off of your smile!
Understanding the Cost of Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry is a huge commitment, so it’s understandable to be worried about the cost of your treatment. Cosmetic treatment isn’t usually covered by insurance, so patients are often hesitant to commit to these services. Because everyone’s smile goals are unique, we won’t be able to determine the cost of your treatment until you can see us for a consultation. We have a wide array of cosmetic solutions and are happy to help you navigate the cost. For the time being, here are some things for you to keep in mind.
What Cosmetic Dental Service is Right for Me?
Patients seeking cosmetic dentistry are usually trying to achieve a smile that is straighter, whiter, or shaped differently. Here’s how some of our options can help in those situations:
- Teeth Whitening – Teeth can become discolored in a variety of different ways. With professional teeth whitening, you can see noticeable results in a short period of time. This is a relatively affordable option, and results can last anywhere from a couple of months to a few years depending on how well you care for them.
- Veneers – Veneers aren’t the most affordable option out there, but they are the easiest way to transform numerous aspects of your smile at the same time. This includes the color, shape, and minor alignment issues.
- Invisalign – If you have misalignment, Invisalign is an excellent solution. This treatment costs several thousands of dollars, but it is an effective way to correct teeth that are crooked or otherwise misaligned.
- Smile Makeover – This treatment combines several restorative and cosmetic services together. It is the priciest of all the options, but it’s the easiest, most comprehensible way to get you exactly what you want in the best timeframe possible.
Cosmetic Dentistry Can Be an Investment Worth Making
Cosmetic dentistry may seem like quite a commitment, but it is an investment that will pay off over time. If you are self-conscious of your smile, making changes with the help of your dentist can lead to significant improvement in your confidence and self-esteem. Ultimately, this can mean better relationships, a more vibrant social life, and a higher quality of life. To determine whether cosmetic dentistry is a worthwhile investment for you, take a look at the big picture!
How to Make Cosmetic Dentistry Affordable
Cosmetic dentistry is rarely covered by dental insurance because it is considered to be elective. However, this doesn’t necessarily mean that you’ll be left completely in the dust. We work with CareCredit – a third-party financing company that can split the cost of your treatment into manageable monthly installments with little-to-no interest. To learn more about your financial options, talk to one of our friendly team members.

Is Cosmetic Dentistry Right for Me?

Additionally, by Dr. Gregory taking this approach, you can expect longer-lasting results.
How Long Will My Cosmetic Dental Treatment Take?
Unfortunately, there is no definite answer to this question. This can partly be attributed to the fact that every aspect of the cosmetic dental services we offer is completely customized.
