Cosmetic Dentistry Q & A
What Is the Most Common Cosmetic Dentistry Treatment?
The most popular cosmetic dentistry treatment today is teeth whitening. All Pro Dental Care offers two different options for teeth whitening. The in-office whitening procedure is done entirely in a dentist's chair and only takes around half an hour. The take home whitening system requires daily usage of the whitening gel at home for two weeks. Both systems are capable of whitening the teeth several shades, but the exact whitening goals are up to the patient. You can return to your natural teeth shade or, if desired, even go lighter than your natural teeth shade in many cases.
Does Insurance Cover Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures?
It depends on the insurance company and the specific procedure. For example, for many people who have a root canal treatment and a crown installation in an effort to improve the appearance of the tooth, this could classify the procedures as cosmetic. However, if the root canal therapy is medically necessary and the crown is part of that therapy, the insurance company may agree to cover the expenses. If you have any questions about what insurance will cover, be sure to talk it over with our office staff. We will do our best to help you find a way to get the procedures that you need.
What if You Have Multiple Cosmetic Dentistry Issues?
This is not at all unusual. Many patients want to improve the look of their smile as a whole, and cosmetic dentistry procedures can be the ideal way to accomplish that. You can have your teeth straightened, whitened, and changed in nearly any way desired. If you are looking for a whole smile makeover, be sure to discuss your ultimate goals with the dentist so that the procedures can be planned in the ideal order.
