Cosmetic Dentist – Melbourne, FL

Veneers

Veneers are a versatile cosmetic dentistry treatment that can address several aesthetic imperfections at once, including slight misalignment, discoloration, and damage. They’re thin, yet durable, sheaths that are placed over the visible surface of teeth to conceal flaws, and they can be crafted from ceramic or stain-resistant porcelain. If you’re looking for a more symmetrical and brighter grin, dental veneers may be the best option for you.

Metal-Free Dental Crowns

We believe that you shouldn’t have to compromise the appearance of your smile in order to protect the health of your teeth, which is why we offer metal-free dental crowns. Instead of being made from noticeable silver, we craft ours from durable, natural-looking, and safe materials like zirconia, ceramic, and porcelain, making them virtually unnoticeable to onlookers whenever you talk or laugh.

Teeth Whitening

Are you tired of emptying your wallet for store-bought teeth whitening products that make big promises that they never live up to? At Rowley Family Dentistry, we offer professional in-office and take-home teeth whitening that provides virtually guaranteed results. In-office treatment can have your teeth looking up to eight shades brighter, while our customized take-home kits can offer the same results within about two weeks.

Smile Makeover

If you have several cosmetic dental flaws that you’re looking to repair at once, a smile makeover may be the best treatment choice for you. Dr. Rowley will sit down with you and discuss your budget and smile goals, and based off of what you say, our team will design a smile makeover plan especially for you. It can include two or more of our restorative or cosmetic dentistry services and will truly transform your grin into one that you can feel proud to let show.

Virtual Smile Design

If the one thing holding you back from investing in cosmetic dentistry is the unknown, then you’ll appreciate our virtual smile design technology. It allows us to create a digital model of your mouth and alter it to show you what your grin will look like after you get certain cosmetic dental treatments. That way, you know exactly what you’re investing in and there’s no guesswork in the process!

Understanding the Cost of Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry may sound good, but perhaps its price worries you. That’s a fair concern – treatment won’t help if it “breaks the bank.” Still, the cost of cosmetic dentistry varies by patient; you’ll need to consult Dr. Rowley for a precise estimate. Once the full price is tallied, Rowley Family Dentistry will find ways to make your care affordable. Our team can even outline the cosmetic procedures and the available financing options.

Which Cosmetic Dental Service is Right for Me?

In cosmetic dentistry, a patient usually wants whiter teeth, straighter teeth, or differently shaped teeth. That said, the field’s services have different prices and effects. You’d thus be wise to review them before pursuing care. In particular, our office offers the following options:

 

• Teeth Whitening – Per the name, teeth whitening brightens your smile. It places bleaching gel on enamel to remove the latter’s stains. While fast and effective, though, the service is moderately priced and only affects tooth color.

• Metal-Free Dental Crowns – Unlike metal kinds, non-metal crowns both protect teeth and enhance their looks. After all, the caps use materials like zirconia, ceramic, or porcelain. They thus blend seamlessly with adjacent teeth. Still, crowns can get pricey due to their features.

• Porcelain Veneers – Veneers are small, thin shells placed on the fronts of teeth. Their main use is to hide various smile flaws. (Such issues include chips, cracks, stains, etc.)  While versatile, veneers can also be expensive.
• Smile Makeover – Instead of its own procedure, a smile makeover combines two or more cosmetic services into a single treatment. As a result, this choice is the costliest form of cosmetic dentistry.

Cosmetic Dentistry: An Investment Worth Making

True, cosmetic dentistry is sometimes pricey. The fact remains, though, that it’s a great investment that pays off with time.

 

Put simply, cosmetic dental work has priceless perks. One such benefit is its ability to boost confidence by transforming your smile. In helping your mood, it’d then help you relax in social settings with friends and family. At the same time, cosmetic dentistry can improve first impressions. In the context of a job interview, this effect could lead to a higher income that lets treatment pay for itself!

How to Make Cosmetic Dentistry Affordable

Cosmetic dentistry isn’t (usually) covered by dental insurance, but other ways exist to make it affordable. You could opt for a dental practice’s unique financing options. Given the right one, a beautiful grin could become budget-friendly. Look at Rowley Family Dentistry, for instance. We work with CareCredit, a great third-party financier. They’d let you pay for cosmetic dentistry via low-interest monthly installments. That way, you could gradually cover the cost of your dream smile. Ultimately, our team wants to give you a pretty smile that fits your budget. That being the case, book a consultation with our office today!

Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs

Cosmetic dentistry is a remarkably expansive and deep field of dentistry, affording patients many opportunities to better their smiles. However, attempting to navigate everything that cosmetic dentistry has to offer can be challenging for any patient, which tends to leave them with plenty of questions.

We’d be happy to discuss any issues you may have at an in-person consultation, but until then, here’s an FAQ to help you understand a little more about this field.

Is Cosmetic Dentistry Covered by Insurance?

Typically, dental insurance isn’t going to cover elective procedures, which means that cosmetic dentistry won’t typically be paid for. Usually, the cost of teeth whitening or direct bonding will come out of pocket.

However, insurance companies may pay for care if there are also health benefits that make the treatment medically necessary. Dental crowns, for example, serve to protect the tooth while also refurbishing it. In these cases, you may be able to get 50-80% of the care covered.

Ultimately every plan is different and we’ll work with you to make sure that you make the most out of your benefits.

How Do I Know If I Need Cosmetic Dentistry?

Really, cosmetic dentistry is so low-risk that you have no reason to steer clear of cosmetic dentistry if you think that you may need it. Anyone who is less than thrilled with the state of their smile could easily benefit from what cosmetic dentistry has to offer.

Whether you have chips, cracks, discoloration, or even seriously misaligned teeth, there’s usually a cosmetic dental treatment that can help you. There are even cosmetic treatments that can undo the signs of aging that can affect your teeth.

Is Cosmetic Dentistry Expensive?

People who are interested in cosmetic dentistry are sometimes put off by the price, as these treatments have a reputation for being expensive. Part of this comes from the fact that insurance companies won’t pay for very much of the treatment, if any of it.

However, this is heavily dependent on the treatment that you’re getting. There are plenty of treatments, like direct bonding, that are both inexpensive and incredibly effective.

You can also look at cosmetic dentistry as an investment. If you want to make a good impression on your clients, coworkers, or even your superiors, having a smile you’ll be proud to show off can help you to make significant advancements in your career.

How Long Does Cosmetic Dentistry Last?

How long the cosmetic treatment you get will last depends heavily on which you go for. In general, quick and easy treatments tend to be less enduring—the effects of teeth whitening will fade faster than veneers, for example. Some cosmetic treatments even have results that can last forever, like Invisalign.

However, no matter what treatment you go for, how well you maintain your teeth afterward is the biggest factor in how long you keep your teeth looking beautiful. If you keep up with your daily hygiene and see us for regular cleanings, you’ll be able to have your teeth shine for years to come.
