Understanding The Cost of Cosmetic Dentistry

Which Cosmetic Dental Service Is Right for Me? 

Choosing the appropriate cosmetic service depends on which type of dental imperfections you want to address. In general, cosmetic dentistry patients are usually trying to achieve whiter teeth, straighter teeth, or to alter the size or shape of their teeth. Dr. Bartusiak can help you explore potential options such as:

• Clear Aligners – A more costly option with Invisalign or ClearCorrect but ideal if you want to fix significant gaps or misaligned teeth. Most people won’t realize you are using it. The average treatment time is 12-18 months. Removable and comfortable, plus it is convenient since checkups are only needed every 4-6 weeks. Ace Aligners, which have an average treatment time of just 6-9 months and focus on correcting a few particular teeth, would be the most affordable option.
• Veneers – Also a more costly option but capable of transforming your smile in multiple ways at once. They can last for more than a decade with proper care. Veneers save time in the long run and are more resistant to stains than your natural teeth.
• Metal-Free Dental Restorations – Modern crowns, inlays, and onlays are made from top-tier materials like Emax ceramics and BruxZir zirconia to closely resemble your natural teeth. You can protect a previously damaged tooth without anyone even realizing it. Less expensive than the services above.
• Teeth Whitening – Don’t like the color of your smile? Professional whitening treatment is a fast, way to improve your pearly whites! It cannot help with the shape or position of your teeth but is more affordable than the options above. We only charge at cost for whitening treatments. Zoom! is our in-office whitening option, while Curaprox Black Is White Toothpaste is your at-home choice for more gradual results.

Is It Worth It To Invest In Cosmetic Dentistry

Smile enhancement with the help of your cosmetic dentist in Washington can be a significant financial commitment. However, it’s an investment that will pay dividends for many years to come. Your grin is often the first thing other people notice about you. For patients who feel self-conscious about their teeth, a cosmetic dental procedure can boost their self-esteem. Greater confidence can then lead to a more active social life, better romantic prospects, and improved professional opportunities. Upgraded quality of life absolutely makes cosmetic dentistry worthwhile.
