Cosmetic Dentist – Temple, TX

Veneers

A veneer is a very thin type of ceramic restoration that fits over the front of a tooth; you can think of it like a mask for your smile. A customized veneer can hide cracks, stains, and other cosmetic imperfections all at once, letting you completely transform your smile in just two appointments. Veneers are extremely popular among actors and singers who want a flawless smile for the cameras, and now you can give your own teeth the same kind of improvements.

Teeth Whitening

It’s not easy to keep your teeth looking bright. Even when you brush every day, dark-colored foods and beverages can still leave their mark on your smile. We offer a number of professional whitening options that you can use to get rid of stains that over-the-counter products cannot. You can choose between a Phillips Zoom in-office procedure or one of our customized whitening kits; both options have proven to be reliable when it comes to creating the smiles of our patients’ dreams.

Dental Bonding

Even if a chip or crack isn’t putting your tooth in any danger, it can still be frustrating to see it in photographs or in the mirror. Luckily, minor dental damage can be corrected quickly with direct bonding; all we need to do is take a small amount of composite resin and carefully apply it to the teeth in question. Since composite resin matches the color of natural tooth enamel, we can mold it until it blends in perfectly with the rest of your smile.

 

 

Smile Makeovers

What does your ideal smile look like? What are some things that have been bothering you whenever you see your own grin? How many teeth need improvements? When you come to us for cosmetic dentistry, we’ll ask you a number of questions about the changes you want and help you set realistic expectations. Then we’ll put together a smile makeover plan that combines multiple treatments chosen specifically to help you reach your smile goals.

Understanding the Cost of Cosmetic Dentistry

Whatever you may have heard, the cost of cosmetic dentistry isn’t always quite high. It actually varies from one patient to the next; you just need to consult our dentists for a precise estimate. Once we’ve settled the initial price, our team can then work to make your care more affordable. We’ll even walk you through the relevant pricing factors, payment options, and so on.

Which Cosmetic Dental Service is Right for Me?

You can trust cosmetic dentistry to make your teeth whiter, straighter, or differently shaped. However, this field’s treatments don’t have the same effects and costs. You should consider your options carefully to get the best aesthetic results possible.

Here at Dr. Fossum’s office, we offer the following cosmetic services:

• Direct Bonding – Direct bonding hides minor smile flaws (small stains, chips, etc.) by applying tooth-colored resin to your teeth. It’s also one of the least expensive cosmetic options, though its results only last a few years.
• Teeth Whitening – Per its name, teeth whitening directly brightens a patient’s smile. It uses bleaching gel to remove stains from enamel, making a grin lighter as a result. The treatment also has a moderate cost, whether done in the office or through an at-home kit.
• Veneers – Veneers are tooth-colored shells placed on the fronts of teeth. They can fix many smile flaws (stains, chips, cracks, etc.) once set, but they’re rather pricey.
• Smile Makeovers – Instead of a distinct treatment, a smile makeover is a service that combines several cosmetic options. It’s thus the most expensive form of cosmetic dentistry.

Cosmetic Dentistry Is An Investment Worth Making

While it may seem frivolous, cosmetic dentistry is a very good investment. Buying one (or more) of its procedures would give you priceless perks and long-term savings.

For starters, a beautified grin would boost your quality of life. Knowing your smile looks prettier can lead to more confidence, less stress, and help with first impressions. In light of such effects, you’d enjoy your day-to-day more and maintain excellent mental and emotional health.

Cosmetic dentistry also tends to “pay for itself” over time. After all, transformed teeth often contribute to opportunities like new jobs, promotions, raises, etc. That means your treatment results could potentially cover a procedure’s cost.

How to Make Cosmetic Dentistry Affordable

Though dental insurance doesn’t cover cosmetic dentistry, the latter can still be affordable. You’d just need to rely on our office’s helpful payment options! By getting the right one, you could make your grin gorgeous without “breaking the bank.”

We at Dr. Fossum’s office happen to offer options like:

• In-House Savings Plans – Patients can join one of our in-house savings plans by paying a yearly fee. From there, they could get a major discount on cosmetic dentistry.
• Flexible Financing – Our office works with CareCredit and hfd Financing, which are both reputable financiers. They’d let you pay for cosmetic treatment in monthly installments.

A dreamier smile doesn’t have to put you in harsh debt. Just visit us for financing help; we’ll gladly work to make your treatment budget-friendly!
