Frequently Asked Questions
Does dental insurance cover cosmetic dentistry?
Dental insurance typically doesn’t cover cosmetic treatments, as it focuses on procedures for medical necessity rather than esthetic purposes. However, some treatments, like veneers or crowns, may be partially covered if they also serve a restorative function. Each policy varies, so it’s important to review your insurance plan and discuss with our team to understand what is covered and explore financing options if needed.
How long does professional teeth whitening last?
Professional teeth whitening results can last anywhere from six months to two years, depending on your oral care habits and lifestyle. Avoiding staining foods, drinks, and tobacco, while maintaining good oral hygiene, can prolong the brightness of your smile. Regular touch-ups and at-home maintenance kits can also help sustain your results.
What’s a smile makeover?
A smile makeover is a personalized treatment plan designed to improve the cosmetic appearance of your smile. It may include procedures like teeth whitening, veneers, crowns, or clear aligners, depending on your needs and goals. Smile makeovers are tailored to enhance your teeth’s color, shape, alignment, and overall aesthetic. Our team will evaluate your oral health and discuss your preferences to create a plan that achieves your desired results.
Am I a candidate for Invisalign?
You may be a candidate for Invisalign if you have mild to moderate alignment issues, such as crooked teeth, gaps, or bite problems. Invisalign works best for patients with healthy teeth and gums who are committed to wearing the aligners as directed. A consultation with our team will help determine if Invisalign is the right option for your specific orthodontic needs and lifestyle preferences.
