  • Dazzling In-Office Whitening
  • Modern Technology for Planning Smile Transformations

 

Veneers

Sometimes there may be more than one type of cosmetic dental issue that you want to correct, such as a minor crack, a discolored spot that won’t go away, or teeth that are spaced just a little too far apart. Veneers can be used to correct these and various other problems all at once. They are designed to match the appearance of your natural enamel, and they can be placed over specific teeth in order to hide the imperfections that are bothering you.

Metal-Free Dental Restorations

When you’re told that you need a crown to repair or protect your tooth, you may be expecting a piece of metal that will be all too obvious whenever people see your smile. However, our team at Newpark Mall Family Dental Group has a much more image-friendly solution in the form of metal-free restorations. With a crown made out of porcelain and zirconia, we can make it look as though your tooth was never damaged in the first place. And don’t worry about the quality of the restoration; metal-free crowns are as reliable as they are beautiful, often able to last for 15 years or longer.

Direct Bonding

When you have extensive changes that you want to make to your smile, veneers are typically the cosmetic dentistry treatment of choice. But what if you only have one or two corrections in mind? In this type of situation, direct bonding may be the best option. We can simply hide the minor flaws on your teeth with a small amount of expertly shaded and sculpted composite resin. Direct bonding can often be completed in just one appointment, and it tends to be more affordable compared to other cosmetic options.

Teeth Whitening

It can be difficult to prevent your teeth from becoming discolored over the years, especially if you’re in the habit of enjoying coffee or other dark-colored beverages on a regular basis. Professional teeth whitening can help get rid of the stains that have appeared on your enamel, thus significantly brightening your smile. An in-office whitening procedure often only takes about an hour, making it a great option for anyone who wants their grin to look its best for an important event in the near future.

Gum Recontouring/Crown Lengthening

Take a close look at yourself in the mirror; how much gum tissue can you see when you pull back your lips to smile? If the answer is “more than two millimeters”, you have what’s known as a gummy smile. This particular cosmetic issue can be corrected with a procedure known as gum recontouring, which involves removing unneeded gum tissue from specific areas. The goal is to create an even, balanced gumline that won’t draw too much attention away from your dazzling teeth.

Virtual Smile Design

The idea of improving your smile with cosmetic dentistry certainly sounds wonderful, but how can you be sure that you’ll be satisfied with the results? With our virtual smile design software, we can give you a glimpse at what your smile will look like after veneers, teeth whitening, or any other cosmetic dentistry procedures that you may be considering. Having a realistic idea of what you can expect can help you feel a lot more confident when you’re figuring out which treatments to pursue.

Smile Makeovers

Sometimes it takes more than one cosmetic dental procedure to get the results you want. A smile makeover combines a number of treatments that have been carefully chosen according to the patient’s goals. We will walk you through the various options, explain the details of each treatment that is being considered (including how much you can expect them to cost and how long they will likely take), and work with you to put together your unique smile makeover plan.

 

Understanding the Cost of Cosmetic Dentistry

While it is true that most dental insurance companies will not cover the cost of cosmetic dentistry, you can still transform your smile without emptying your wallet. Our team at Newpark Mall Family Dental Group is here to go over the different payment options as well as which service(s) deliver the highest cost savings. We’ll carefully consider your budget when discussing how to improve your smile aesthetics, ensuring you get the results you desire.

Which Cosmetic Dental Service is Right for Me?

Knowing what you want when meeting with your cosmetic dentist is important. If you’re like most people, you likely want whiter teeth, a straighter smile, or pearly whites that are shaped or sized differently.

Fortunately, there are many different treatment options available in our office that you can choose from. Our knowledgeable team will go over the details of each as well as the price point so that you can determine how you want to move forward. Some of our available services include:

  • Veneers: Using carefully crafted restorations to conceal the front-facing surfaces of teeth, veneers can hide many unsightly flaws. They’re considered one of the pricier options but can deliver a more comprehensive transformation.
  • Teeth Whitening: Using high-grade, professional bleaching gel to whiten teeth and eliminate stains, teeth whitening is often less expensive than other services. You will pay more than kits found on drugstore shelves, but your results will be worth the investment.
  • Direct Bonding: Completed in a single appointment, the use of composite resin effectively covers the imperfections quickly, allowing you to invest in a more conservative and affordable method of treatment.
  • Metal-Free Restorations: These custom restorations can be used to protect damaged or decayed teeth (which many insurance companies will help with the cost), or they can be applied solely for aesthetic purposes. If the latter is what you intend to use them for, the cost can quickly add up depending on how many you want.
  • Gum Recontouring: When teeth appear shorter because of excess gum tissue, we can perform gum recontouring, which is a permanent method of treatment. Although costlier than most other services, it ultimately depends on how extensive your surgery might be.
  • Smile Makeover: Generally, a smile makeover will cost more than any single form of treatment. The reason is they are designed to address multiple imperfections by using a combination of cosmetic treatments.

Cosmetic Dentistry Can Be an Investment Worth Making

Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs

Cosmetic dentistry costs can vary based on the treatment you choose. Options like teeth whitening are affordable, while veneers or implants may require a bigger investment. Many patients feel like cosmetic procedures are more expensive, but this is because dental insurance typically doesn’t cover elective or cosmetic treatments.

Not to worry! At Newpark Mall Family Dental Group, we offer flexible financing through CareCredit to put your dream smile within reach! During your consultation, we’ll provide a clear breakdown of pricing and discuss options tailored to your needs and budget.

The longevity of cosmetic dental treatments largely depends on the procedure you choose and how well you care for your teeth. For example, teeth whitening results can last 6 to 12 months (or a bit longer) if you’re brushing, flossing, and limiting heavy-staining food and drinks. Meanwhile, veneers can last for 10, 15, or even 20-plus years with proper treatment and maintenance.

At our dental office in Newark, we use high-quality materials and modern techniques to maximize the lifespan of your treatments. With regular dental visits and quality oral care, your smile will stay stunning for years to come!

Cosmetic dentistry is generally designed to be as comfortable as possible. Treatments like teeth whitening or direct bonding are minimally invasive and pain-free, even without anesthetics. For procedures like veneers and dental implants, our team will ensure your mouth is numbed before we even pick up an instrument to make your experience more comfortable.

If you’re concerned with pain, don’t hesitate to let us know. Our team can work with you to come up with solutions like sedation dentistry or extra comforts to keep you calm and feeling pleasant.

Absolutely! Cosmetic dentistry not only enhances your smile but can also improve your confidence, social interactions, and even career opportunities! Many treatments, like veneers or implants offer functional benefits as well, such as better oral health or mild alignment fixes.

At Newpark Mall Family Dental Group, we’ve seen how beautiful smiles can transform lives. Our patients tell us about their happiness and success all the time after their procedures! Ultimately, creating your dream smile is an investment in yourself—and most patients agree it’s worth every penny.
