What is Cosmetic Dentistry?
Cosmetic Dentistry is a method of professional oral care that puts improving the appearance of your teeth the center of attention. Many cosmetic dentistry procedures are elective rather than essential, but some treatments also provide restorative advantages.
The Purpose of Cosmetic Dentistry
The purpose of cosmetic dentistry is to create a positive change to your teeth, your smile and your confidence. The American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD) is the central dental resource for patients as they work to preserve their health, function and appearance of their mouth. ESI Dentistry – Esthetic Smiles & Implants believes that cosmetic dentistry must complement the general and oral health of the patient receiving treatment.

Can cosmetic dentistry fix receding gums?
Cosmetic dentistry can help fix receding gums by gum contouring. This procedure involves cutting away tissue from the roof of a patient's mouth and use that tissue as a graft to cover tooth roots exposed due to gum recession. Then, the cosmetic dentist will use the existing gum to hide the graft which gives the gums a more healthy appearance. While this is a cosmetic procedure, it also protects tooth roots that might become infected.

Can cosmetic dentistry fix an overbite?
Fixing an overbite usually include some sort of orthodontics and/or oral surgery since this is a more substantial change. This condition is a lot easier to address in young patients since the jaw is still in the development stage at that age.

Financing Your Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry prices depend on the dental office that you go to, however, most procedures are around the same cost. For example, you can expect professional teeth whitening to cost you around $500 altogether. Dental veneers can cost anywhere between $500-$1300 per tooth. Other services such as orthodontics and smile makeovers can add up to a much higher price since both of those procedures involves changing the entire structure of the teeth.
There are alternative ways to finance your cosmetic dental care. At ESI Dentistry - Esthetic Smiles & Implants, we offer a Dental Membership Plan that includes discounts on a few cosmetic procedures. We also accept third-party payment plans through CareCredit and Compassionate Finance, and are in-network with most insurance companies.
