Veneers
We can use customized veneers to hide imperfections and generate a new and improved smile. Using high-quality materials that look natural, last more than a decade, and are durable against daily wear and tear, these restorations can completely change the look of your teeth by altering their shape, color, and size, creating a one-of-a-kind smile that gives you the look you’ve always wanted.
Metal-Free Restorations
Metal restorations were once the only way to repair broken or decayed teeth; however, that is not the case anymore. Now, we can protect vulnerable teeth while improving your oral health and aesthetics. Instead of worrying about dark rings caused by silver or gold, our EMAX or zirconia crowns can create a seamless and beautiful result that can last 15-20 years.
Cosmetic Bonding
You might not think minor chips or stains need to be addressed, but if they are in visible areas of your smile, you may find that they become more of a nuisance over time. With cosmetic bonding, this non-invasive form of treatment uses composite resin to conceal flaws, allowing you to keep more of your natural tooth structure. Once sculpted into place, you’ll see that your smile looks brand-new – a task that can be easily completed in a single appointment.
Teeth Whitening
Dental stains and discoloration shouldn’t be what keeps you from making a good first impression. Offering both in-office and take-home whitening kits, Dr. Kiesel and our team can integrate high-powered bleaching gel to penetrate your enamel and effectively remove stains above and below the surface. No matter which method you choose, you can expect dramatic results that leave you with a showstopping smile.
Smile Makeovers
Using computer-enhanced imaging, we can pinpoint imperfections and formulate a strategy that will target problem areas and rebuild a brighter, more revitalized appearance. By combining cosmetic solutions, we can generate a plan that fits your budget while also helping you achieve your smile goals.
Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs
While many people assume that cosmetic dentistry must be incredibly expensive, this is not always the case. While cosmetic dental treatments are rarely covered by insurance policies because they are considered elective, these procedures come at a range of price points and can deliver priceless benefits by enhancing your appearance and self-esteem. Some patients find that improving the beauty of their smiles can help them land lucrative new jobs or juicy promotions, so your cosmetic dental work may wind up paying for itself. We also partner with CareCredit, Lending Club, and Sunbit to offer patients flexible financing options that can break their bills into easily manageable monthly installments.
Dental insurance plans don’t typically cover elective procedures such as cosmetic dental treatments. However, your policy may offer some coverage if your treatment is intended to deliver oral health benefits, such as when veneers or metal-free restorations are used to restore damaged teeth. In these cases, treatments are usually covered by about 50 to 80%, but the actual rate varies depending on the particular insurance policy. We’ll be happy to help you navigate your insurance and financing options during your consultation so you can know exactly what your plan will pay for.
Cosmetic dental treatments are perfectly safe as long as they are performed by a qualified professional such as Dr. Kiesel. However, no treatment is right for every patient, so it’s important to have a consultation at our Coppell office so we can evaluate your oral health before recommending any procedure. Cosmetic services can cause significant damage if the patient has underlying oral health issues such as tooth decay or gum disease, so these infections will have to be resolved before any aesthetic treatment can begin. We’ll be happy to perform restorative work or periodontal therapy to address these problems if necessary.
If you’re interested in teeth whitening, it’s important to know that many store-bought brightening products are of inferior quality and can lead to injuries due to user error or poor manufacture. Professional whitening treatments, on the other hand, are totally customized to provide maximum safety as well as remarkable results.
The lifespan of the results of your cosmetic dental treatment depends on the procedure performed as well as your oral hygiene habits. Cosmetic bonding and teeth whitening can last for up to three years if you take excellent care of your smile, but veneers and metal-free restorations can last for a decade or more before needing replacement. The best ways to maximize the duration of your cosmetic dental results are to practice excellent dental hygiene, attend regular checkups at our Coppell office, avoid using your teeth to open packages or bottles, and limit your consumption of foods and beverages that can cause discoloration.
