Gum Lifts

If you have what is known as a gummy smile, it can often be embarrassing or cause you to experience oral health problems (i.e. gum disease, tooth decay). Fortunately, there is a way to not only minimize the potential risk but also create a more even gum line. By using a soft tissue laser, we can easily remove unnecessary tissue, creating a balanced aesthetic that looks beautiful and allows for greater oral health in the long run.

Dental Bonding

When minor imperfections keep your smile from looking its best, you may not wish to pursue advanced solutions like veneers. Instead, you may prefer something milder yet effective. This is where cosmetic bonding is a safe and noteworthy solution. Using composite resin that can be color-matched to your natural tooth color, this malleable substance is shaped and sculpted directly onto the enamel. Once the area is completely covered, a professional light hardens the resin to create a beautiful, flawless smile.

Invisalign

Are you looking to straighten your teeth once and for all? Prefer to move forward with a solution that doesn’t require bulky metal brackets and wires? With Invisalign clear aligners, you can easily enjoy your orthodontic experience without compromising your daily appearance. Because of their sleek and virtually invisible look, they fit snug against your teeth and apply gentle, continuous pressure to shift them in the right direction. Not to mention, in many cases, patients can be finished with Invisalign much quicker than with traditional metal braces.

Porcelain Veneers

Do you have one or more teeth that are chipped, cracked, stained, discolored, misshapen, or have a gap between them? Fixing these problems can often become costly, especially if you’re trying to address more than one specific problem. The good news is that with porcelain veneers, you can expect beautiful results that can last a decade or longer with proper care. Placed in just two visits to the dentist’s office, it also doesn’t take long to achieve your desired look.

Teeth Whitening

Oftentimes, when stains and discoloration appear, they aren’t just confined to the enamel layer. They can penetrate deep into the dentin layer of your teeth, making it increasingly more difficult to remove. Over-the-counter products often don’t contain the same high-quality ingredients, which is why we offer professional teeth whitening. Whether you choose in-office or at-home whitening trays, you can expect to see tremendous results. For an in-office treatment, you can expect it to take about one hour. For at-home whitening kits, it will likely take two weeks before noticing substantial results.

Snap-On Smile

If you are looking to completely transform your smile’s appearance without undergoing multiple complex dental treatments, we have the solution for you. With our Snap-On Smile that is made from durable resin, you can expect to see a new and improved, damage-free smile that can last three to five years with proper care. It simply slides on over your natural teeth and snaps into place. In just two appointments, you will have impressions taken and your new smile fitted to ensure maximum comfort.

Full-Mouth Reconstruction

An incomplete smile can leave you feeling embarrassed and hopeless. Whether you are missing multiple teeth, combatting tooth decay, or struggling with severe discoloration, you can begin to see a new and improved smile with the help of full-mouth reconstruction. Once our team creates a personalized treatment plan, we will go over the various options to choose from and create a model of what your new smile will look like. Depending on the complexity of your treatment, your dentist will provide you with a realistic timeline for completion.

Understanding the Cost of Cosmetic Dentistry

If you're not happy with the way your teeth look, cosmetic dentistry can create the smile of your dreams. However, it's associated with a hefty price tag. Despite what you might have heard, elective services are affordable for people from all walks of life. Many factors affect the cost of cosmetic dentistry, but our team at Fort Dental strives to keep a picture-perfect smile within everyone's budget. We offer a diversity of treatments and several payment methods, so your financial situation doesn't stand in your way of achieving your best smile.

Which Cosmetic Dental Service Is Right for Me?

No two mouths or situations are identical, which is why there's no cookie-cutter treatment plan to create a beautiful smile. After examining your mouth and learning more about your preferences, your cosmetic dentist will determine which services are right for you, like:

Gum Lifts: Say goodbye to a gummy smile using laser dentistry. The minimally invasive procedure resculpts the gum line to reveal more of your teeth surfaces.
Dental Bonding: A composite resin is shaded to match the color of your enamel to blend in with your tooth when fixing minor imperfections, like decay, chips, or cracks.
Invisalign: Fix bite and alignment issues without brackets or wires. Clear aligners are worn over your teeth to move them gradually to create a straight smile.
Porcelain Veneers: Attaching veneers to the teeth visible when smiling addresses many imperfections using one treatment. You'll save time and money when using veneers to correct stains, chips, or gaps.
Teeth Whitening: Get your teeth up to 8 shades brighter using a professional whitening system. Your results can last for many months with the right care, like brushing and flossing.
Snap-On Smile: Custom-made trays are placed over your teeth to cover various issues, including lost teeth.

Cosmetic Dentistry Can Be an Investment Worth Making

An attractive smile is attributed to youth, success, confidence, and happiness. Not only will you boost your self-esteem, but you will be more approachable, which can improve your social life and career prospects. Some aesthetic issues can also affect your dental health. Addressing them can lead to healthier teeth and gums, so you're less likely to need costly dental procedures later.

How to Make Cosmetic Dentistry Affordable

A member of our team will review your estimate and discuss your payment options, which include:

Traditional Payments: Our office accepts all traditional payment methods, like cash, checks, and credit cards.
Dental Insurance: Dental insurance only covers medically necessary procedures. Some cosmetic treatments also provide restorative benefits, like dental bonding. If your dentist determines treatment is crucial for your oral health, you may be able to use your coverage to lower the amount you pay out-of-pocket.
Monthly Payments: You can pay any dental expenses using a monthly payment plan through a third-party financing company, like CareCredit. Based on your credit approval, you can enjoy little or no interest in financing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are you ready to transform your smile and boost your self-confidence with cosmetic dentistry? Maybe you are, but you have a few minor concerns that must be addressed first. Don’t worry; it’s totally natural to have a few questions. That’s why we’ve assembled and answered some of the most common ones in the following section. If you don’t see the answer to your question, just call Fort Dental and we’ll be more than happy to help!

How Much Does Cosmetic Dentistry Cost?

There is no average cost of getting cosmetic dental work done. Several different factors influence the price of your treatment, including the type of smile flaws you’d like to correct. It’s worth mentioning that quick and easy services like bonding and teeth whitening typically cost less, while more personalized and longer-lasting services like veneers tend to cost a bit more. Ultimately, when it comes to cosmetic dentistry, you get what you pay for.

During your consultation, your cosmetic dentist can develop a customized price estimate to give you an idea of how much it will cost to attain your dream smile.

Can I Use My Dental Insurance?

Because many cosmetic services are considered elective procedures, most dental insurance carriers won’t cover them. However, certain treatments may toe the line into orthodontics or restorative dentistry, which are often partially covered. Our staff would love to take a look at your policy and find out how much coverage you’re entitled to.

I Want to Fix My Smile. Where Do I Start?

If your smile has so many imperfections that you’re not sure where to begin, it can feel a little overwhelming. Luckily, your dentist has plenty of experience with helping patients revamp their smiles. The first step in the process is picking up the phone and giving us a call. Our team can take it from there. We’ll examine your smile and come up with a fully personalized treatment plan to give you the beautiful set of pearly whites you deserve.

Do I Need Orthodontic Treatment?

Crooked teeth can make even the most confident person feel a little bit self-conscious sometimes. Not to mention, they’re often harder to clean and can lead to teeth grinding and TMJ disorder. Straightening your teeth can bring oral health benefits as well as a more attractive smile.

However, you don’t have to wear a mouthful of metal brackets and wires to align your teeth. We offer Invisalign so you can straighten your smile with transparent trays that you wear over your teeth. Additionally, we offer Snap-On Smile, which uses high-quality dental resin to instantly transform your entire top row of teeth. In order to find out which option is the best for you, contact us to schedule a consultation.
