Metal Free Dental Restorations

Thankfully, our patients now have more material options for dental crowns, inlays, and onlays than just noticeable silver or gold! Our doctors recommend all-ceramic restorations whenever possible for a seamlessly attractive result that is still durable and functional. This porcelain material even reflects light in the same way as your original enamel. Better yet, its biocompatible nature is safe and comfortable within the mouth – there’s no need to worry about excessive sensitivity or allergies.

Cosmetic Dental Bonding

Sometimes, even the smallest smile imperfections can loom large in photographs or the bathroom mirror. If you’re finally ready to say goodbye to a pesky crack in the enamel or a thin, crooked gap between teeth, consider cosmetic bonding here in Center, TX. This service only takes a single appointment of your time in most cases, during which one of our doctors will apply tooth-colored composite resin to the requested tooth and sculpt it into a subtle, pleasing addition that hides the offending area from view.

Teeth Whitening

Over the years, even healthy teeth can become dull or yellow in color. If you’d like to regain a brighter smile, professional teeth whitening can create stunning improvements in record time, especially when compared to over the counter products from the local pharmacy. Dr. Youngblood and Dr. Martinez offer two options: in-office whitening for fast, dramatic results in one simple appointment and custom-made kits that can be used over a more flexible timeframe and from the familiar comfort of home.

Understanding the Cost of Cosmetic Dentistry

So, you’re giving serious thought to cosmetic dentistry? That’s wonderful – its services will make your grin worthy of the red carpet! Even so, perhaps you’re worried this field is too expensive. The cost of cosmetic dentistry, after all, often isn’t covered by dental insurance. To be honest, though, you have no reason to fear. Family Dental Center of East Texas will help you with financial details. In particular, we’ll explain our offered services and the available financing options. If you want to learn more, just keep reading or call our office.

Which Cosmetic Dental Service is Right for Me?

For most cosmetic dental work, patients want one (or more) of three things: whiter teeth, straighter teeth, or differently shaped teeth. However, our office’s aesthetic services have varying effects; their prices also differ. Given these facts, it’s best to compare them before committing. To that end, the available procedures are:

• Cosmetic Dental Bonding – Using tooth-colored resin, cosmetic dental bonding hides minor smile flaws. (These are usually small tooth stains, cracks, or chips.) While the process is quick and cheap, its results aren’t long-lasting; they need touch-ups every few years.
• Teeth Whitening – Per the name, teeth whitening treatment whitens your smile. Done either in-office or through take-home kits, it relies on a special bleaching gel to remove tooth stains. The downside is it’s moderately priced and only affects tooth color – it won’t change tooth position or shape.
• Metal-Free Restorations – Non-metallic fillings, crowns, inlays, and onlays protect teeth from decay. At the same time, however, their ceramic surfaces blend seamlessly with your smile. They thus have significant cosmetic perks as well. That said, these metal-free restorations are a tad pricey in exchange.

Cosmetic Dentistry Can Be an Investment Worth Making

True enough, cosmetic dentistry can be a big financial commitment. Still, its offerings represent an investment that pays off over time.

Remember: Cosmetic dental work has priceless perks for its patients. One, for instance, is its ability to inspire self-confidence with your newly-transformed smile. Yet another is how a gorgeous grin strengthens your relationships with friends and family. Beautiful teeth can even boost your career prospects, leading to job interviews and promotions that raise your quality of life.

How to Make Cosmetic Dentistry Affordable

Indeed, insurance normally won’t cover cosmetic dentistry. Despite that fact, though, there are other ways to make treatment affordable. Many dental practices have financing options suited to their patients’ needs.

For example, consider us at Family Dental Center of East Texas. Our office happens to work with CareCredit, a reputable third-party financier. Through them, you can pay for cosmetic work with low-interest monthly installments. You’d then be able to cover the cost of a pretty smile gradually.
