Porcelain Veneers

Chips, cracks, stains, discoloration, gaps, misshapen teeth, and minor misalignments can all be hidden with the help of dental veneers. These thin, shell-like coverings are placed over the surface of your teeth, hiding flaws and creating a more uniform appearance. Placed in just two appointments, they are a permanent cosmetic solution that requires the removal of a small bit of tooth enamel and can last about 10 years with regular maintenance.

Metal-Free Dental Crowns

If decay and damage are keeping you from engaging with others, let Dr. Knott recommend metal-free crowns. Made from natural-looking materials like Emax and porcelain, they are customized to fit comfortably and correctly as well as blend in with your existing smile. Not only will your tooth be better protected, but you can feel more confident about your aesthetics because no one will be able to tell a difference between your real and artificial teeth.

Cosmetic Dental Bonding

Even minor flaws can be enough to cause lowered self-esteem. Fortunately, at Town Center Dental, we can use cosmetic bonding to easily repair small areas of damage. Using color-matched composite resin, the malleable solution is applied directly to the tooth enamel and shaped and sculpted by Dr. Knott. Once the area is covered, a curing light hardens the resin to create a more beautiful appearance.

Teeth Whitening

Stains and discoloration can develop as the result of consuming too many dark-colored beverages, genetics, smoking, or even poor oral health. If you want to blast away stains above and below the surface, you can choose between in-practice treatment or at-home whitening kits. Proving far more effective than DIY solutions found at the local drug store, both of our solutions will ensure you see dramatic results that give you a real reason to smile.

Understanding the Cost of Cosmetic Dentistry

Many patients are interested in knowing more about how much their cosmetic dental treatments will cost since it is unlikely that they will be covered by dental insurance. While we can’t give you a proper cost estimate until your consultation with Dr. Knott at our Garland Office, we’ll be more than happy to help you understand your financing options and find the best solution for your needs and budget. Here are some general guidelines about what these treatments can cost.

Which Cosmetic Dental Service is Right for Me?

If you’re interested in cosmetic dentistry, you’re probably seeking to make your teeth whiter, straighter, or into a different shape. Dr. Knott can help you achieve these goals through treatments such as:

  • Porcelain veneers: While these lifelike appliances are a more costly option, they can address several dental defects at once and completely transform a patient’s smile.
  • Metal-free dental crowns: These appliances can resculpt or restore misshapen or damaged teeth. While they are priced similarly to veneers, they may be partially covered by insurance if used for restorative purposes.
  • Cosmetic dental bonding: This inexpensive and painless treatment can address chips, cracks, gaps, and stains without anesthesia in minutes during a routine dental appointment.
  • Teeth whitening: This treatment is mid-range in terms of cost and can brighten teeth by up to eight shades in a brief period of time, but it cannot address their sizes, shapes, or positions.

Cosmetic Dentistry Can Be an Investment Worth Making

While cosmetic dentistry often seems like a large financial commitment, you can also see it as an investment in your appearance and self-confidence. Achieving a more beautiful smile can make it much easier to engage socially and make positive first impressions, which can significantly improve an individual’s quality of life. Some patients may find that having a stunning grin can help them land a lucrative new job or a juicy promotion.

How to Make Cosmetic Dentistry Affordable

While dental insurance policies don’t usually cover cosmetic dental procedures, we offer several options that can help you fit these treatments into your budget. These include:

  • Financing options: We partner with trusted third-party financiers such as CareCredit and Sunbit to offer patients flexible payment options that can break their bills into small monthly payments with little or no interest.
  • Our in-house dental savings plan: For a yearly membership fee, you can receive significant discounts on many of our cosmetic and restorative services while covering your routine exams and cleanings completely.

We look forward to seeing you and helping you navigate your payment or financing options at our office. During your consultation, our team will be able to offer you a proper cost estimate and help you find the best way to make your cosmetic treatment plan work for you.
