Veneers

If your goal is to achieve a smile that looks whiter, straighter, and completely flawless, let us talk to you about cosmetic smile enhancement with veneers. This excellent service produces comprehensive results in as few as two appointments. Your veneers are made of quality dental porcelain and placed over stained, cracked, chipped, or misaligned front teeth to ensure beautiful results.

Metal-Free Restorations

If you have old metal fillings or need a new restoration, our metal-free options offer a healthier-looking and more aesthetically pleasing alternative. We can create fillings, crowns, and other restorations that are carefully color-matched to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. Beyond the cosmetic benefit, metal-free restorations bond directly to the tooth structure, helping to preserve more of your natural tooth while delivering durable and lasting results.

Teeth Whitening

Are your pearly whites no longer living up to their name? If so, don’t waste your time and money on store-bought kits that consistently overpromise and underdeliver. Instead, ask our team at Dix Hills Family Dentistry about our in-office and take-home whitening treatments! If we determine that you’re a good candidate, then we can effortlessly blast away stubborn stains, leaving you with an absolutely gorgeous smile.

Dental Bonding

Dental bonding is one of the most versatile and affordable cosmetic treatments available, capable of addressing a surprising range of concerns in just a single visit! Using a tooth-colored composite resin, we can repair chips and cracks, close small gaps, correct minor shape irregularities, and even improve the appearance of stained teeth. Plus, the process is quick, minimally invasive, and preserves your natural tooth’s structure.

Gum Recontouring

A beautiful smile isn't just about the teeth; the gums also play a major role in how balanced and proportionate your smile looks. If you have a “gummy” smile, meaning there’s excess tissue covering parts of your teeth, gum recontouring can reshape the tissue to create a more even, symmetrical appearance. And with the help of our soft tissue laser, the procedure is precise and comfortable, with minimal bleeding and faster recovery than traditional methods.

Smile Makeovers

A smile makeover is a personalized combination of cosmetic treatments designed to address everything you'd like to change about your smile, all at once. Our team will take the time to understand your goals and build a fully customized treatment plan around them. From whitening and bonding to veneers and recontouring, every element is carefully coordinated to create a result that feels as good as it looks!

Digital Treatment Planning

Before any cosmetic work begins, we can use digital treatment planning technology to map out your results and give you a real preview of what your new smile could look like. This allows us to fine-tune all the details and eliminate surprises, meaning you’ll have all the confidence you need to move forward with your plan.

Understanding the Cost of Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry is often thought to be too expensive for the average person, but you don't have to be a movie star to revamp your smile. Many factors affect the cost of cosmetic dentistry, but your dental team at Dix Hills Family Dentistry strives to keep a stunning smile within everyone's budget. We will create the personalized plan you need to turn the smile of your dreams into reality without it costing you an arm or a leg.

Which Cosmetic Dental Service Is Right for Me?

There's no flat fee for cosmetic dentistry because every mouth and situation differs. There are more treatment options than ever to address common aesthetic concerns, like discoloration, chips, and cracks. Your cosmetic dentist will examine your mouth and learn more about your goals to determine which procedures are right for you, like:

• Teeth Whitening: Age-related discoloration and surface stains can be improved by up to 8 shades using a professional whitening system. Your results can last for several months or years with the right aftercare, like brushing and flossing.
• Tooth-Colored Fillings: A composite resin is used to treat decay. It is completely metal-free to provide a biocompatible solution. The resin is shaded to match your enamel to blend in with your tooth, so no one will know it is there.
• Veneers: Veneers can correct many imperfections using one minimally invasive treatment. Attaching veneers to the teeth visible when smiling prevents the need for multiple procedures while enjoying results that can last for a decade or longer.

Cosmetic Dentistry Can Be an Investment Worth Making 

A beautiful smile is attributed to youth, confidence, and success. If you're embarrassed by your teeth, cosmetic dentistry can give you a smile to be proud of. Besides boosting your self-esteem, research has found that an attractive smile can also lead to new job opportunities. In addition, some aesthetic problems are more than just cosmetic concerns. Some issues can harm your oral health. Correcting them can lead to healthier teeth and gums, which can lower your long-term oral health expenses.

How to Make Cosmetic Dentistry Affordable

A member of our dental team will review your estimate and explain the fees during your consultation. They will also discuss your payment options to find the financial solutions you need to keep a radiant smile within your budget, like:

• Traditional Payments: Our office accepts all traditional payment methods, including cash, checks, and credit cards.
• Dental Insurance: It's not common for dental insurance to cover elective services, but there are exceptions if treatment is medically necessary, like fixing a chipped tooth. Many cosmetic services also provide restorative benefits, like tooth-colored fillings. If your dentist determines a procedure is necessary for your oral health, your dental insurance may partially cover the cost. We will work on your behalf with your insurance to maximize any applicable coverage.
• In-Office Dental Plan: You can benefit from discounted services by joining our In-House Dental Savings Plan.
