What Is Cosmetic Dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry can refer to many different procedures and treatments today and Dr. Seague and his team at CONFIDENT offer a wide range of expert cosmetic dental care. If the primary goal of a dental procedure or treatment is to enhance the appearance of the smile, it is typically considered to be cosmetic dentistry. In addition to creating beautiful smiles, some cosmetic dentistry procedures can help not only improve the appearance but also the function and health of the teeth. For example, a person who has veneers to correct a gap in the smile may find that they can speak more easily, in addition to the aesthetic benefit.

Will Insurance Cover a Cosmetic Dentistry Procedure?

It depends on the insurance company. While cosmetic dentistry procedures don’t usually fall into the “automatically covered” category that dental check-ups and cleanings do, it is always best to speak with the insurance company to make sure. Even if the insurance company won’t cover a cosmetic dentistry procedure, there are some excellent options for financing dentistry procedures today.

What Is the Teeth Whitening Process?

Teeth whitening is done with a take-home system. The whitening solution and custom-crafted plastic trays are worn daily for about two weeks, at which point most patients notice a dramatic change in the whiteness of their smile.

What Is Bonding?

Bonding is a corrective measure for chipped, broken, significantly stained, or irregularly spaced teeth. A composite resin in the same shade as the natural teeth is bonded onto the teeth and then shaped and smoothed by the dentist to achieve the desired correction.

What Are Veneers?

Veneers are overlays that conceal damaged teeth. Porcelain veneers can create a beautiful and completely natural-looking new surface for the teeth. They are used to correct chips, cracks, gaps, and mild misalignment.
