Frequently asked questions

What is cosmetic dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of your teeth, gums, and smile while often enhancing function too. Common treatments include teeth whitening, veneers, bonding, crowns, and smile makeovers. Unlike basic dental care that fixes problems, cosmetic dentistry helps you achieve the smile you’ve always wanted. Many procedures also strengthen teeth while making them look better, so you get both beauty and better oral health.
What cosmetic treatments are most popular?
Teeth whitening, veneers, and dental bonding are our most requested cosmetic treatments. Whitening brightens stained or yellowed teeth quickly and affordably. Veneers can transform your entire smile by covering chips, gaps, or misshapen teeth with thin porcelain shells. Bonding fixes small imperfections like chips or gaps in just one visit. Dr. Fenton will help you choose the best options based on your goals and budget.
How long do cosmetic dental results last?
Results vary by treatment, but most cosmetic work lasts many years with proper care. Professional teeth whitening typically lasts 1-3 years before touch-ups are needed. Porcelain veneers can last 10-20 years, while dental bonding usually lasts 3-7 years. The key is maintaining good oral hygiene, avoiding habits like teeth grinding, and coming in for regular checkups. We’ll give you specific care instructions to help your results last as long as possible.
Does cosmetic dentistry hurt?
Most cosmetic procedures are quite comfortable and require little to no anesthesia. Teeth whitening might cause temporary sensitivity, but it’s not painful. Bonding is usually painless since we’re just adding material to your teeth. Veneers require removing a small amount of tooth structure, so we use local anesthesia to keep you comfortable. Dr. Fenton also offers sedation options if you’re feeling anxious about any procedure.
How much does cosmetic dentistry cost?
Cosmetic treatment costs vary widely depending on what you’re having done. Teeth whitening ranges from $300-$800, bonding costs $200-$600 per tooth, and veneers typically run $1,000-$2,500 per tooth. A complete smile makeover might cost $10,000-$30,000 depending on the treatments involved. We’ll provide detailed cost estimates and discuss financing options to help make your dream smile affordable.
Can cosmetic dentistry be combined with other treatments?
Absolutely – we often combine cosmetic treatments for the best overall results. You might start with whitening to brighten your teeth, then add veneers to perfect the shape and alignment. Some patients combine orthodontics with cosmetic work to straighten teeth first, then enhance their appearance. Dr. Fenton will create a treatment plan that addresses all your concerns in the most efficient and cost-effective way.
Does insurance cover cosmetic dentistry?
Most dental insurance plans don’t cover purely cosmetic treatments, but there are exceptions. If a procedure also improves function or oral health – like a crown that both strengthens a tooth and improves its appearance – insurance might provide partial coverage. Some employers offer cosmetic dental benefits as an add-on. Our team will check your specific coverage and help you understand what might be covered before starting treatment.
