What is cosmetic dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry is a focus within dental practice that seeks to create the most visually appealing smile possible. It’s a highly personalized service that includes treatments designed to address your unique needs and goals.

The best results come when you choose a dentist who takes an artistic approach to cosmetic treatments. Numerous factors influence the appearance of your smile, including your facial features and the way your mouth moves and curves when you speak and smile. The dentists at Cottage Grove Dental Care understand these considerations.

Thanks to advancements in dental technology, there have never been more options when it comes to perfecting your smile. Whether you choose one treatment or combine multiple options for a total smile makeover, the team at Cottage Grove Dental Care is available to help. 

What types of cosmetic dentistry treatments are available?

There are many cosmetic treatments to choose from. Some of the most common options include:

• Tooth-colored fillings
• Inlays and onlays
• Dental bonding
• Dental veneers
• Teeth whitening

Some treatments offer both restorative and cosmetic benefits, including:

• Dentures
• Dental implants
• Crowns
• Bridges

When your treatment preserves and beautifies your smile, it might be covered under dental insurance.

How do I know which cosmetic dentistry option is right for me?

Your smile is unlike any other, and you deserve cosmetic dentistry services that acknowledge and honor those differences. The process begins with a thorough dental exam and a discussion about what you hope to achieve from cosmetic dentistry. 

Having realistic expectations is key to a successful cosmetic dentistry experience. Your dentist discusses the pros and cons of various options and answers any questions about the process.

Some treatments must be performed in a certain order, like scheduling teeth whitening before a new crown is placed to ensure an optimal shade match. You might also have questions about the expense of different treatments and financing options.

There’s never any pressure to choose one treatment over another. The goal is to inform and advise, not simply sell services. When you’re ready to learn more, setting up a visit takes just a few moments online or by phone.
