Why Choose Harper Dental for Cosmetic Dentistry?
Veneers
Dental veneers are thin, custom-fabricated tooth-like shells that serve to cover the front areas of teeth to elevate the appearance of your smile. These shells can be fabricated from porcelain or resin material. Although both porcelain and resin do work well, at our dental office, we prefer porcelain because they are touted for offering a long-lasting solution. Porcelain veneers can also be color-matched with the natural teeth, ensuring a natural-looking smile.
Metal-Free Restorations
Teeth requiring necessary protection from reinfection or further damage do not have to rely on traditional metal amalgam. Instead, we can use metal-free restorations that look just like natural tooth enamel. These custom creations are fabricated with the help of digital impressions taken of your smile, ensuring that the size, shape, and shade match your existing smile once it is put into place.
Dental Bonding
As a non-invasive form of cosmetic treatment, dental bonding effectively covers minor flaws, like small chips or stains, to reveal a new and more confident smile. Using composite resin that is color-matched to your enamel shade, we can apply it to the surface of the tooth and shape it so that it adequately conceals the imperfection. Using a curing light, we’ll harden the resin in place and ensure it looks natural. The best part is that this can all be done in a single appointment!
Teeth Whitening
There is no need to spend your money on store-bought products that do not deliver quality results. Instead, whiter teeth can be achieved with in-office or professional take-home whitening kits. At Harper Dental, we can brighten your smile in just one hour when completing the process in our office, or you can take home your own trays and whitening gel and see beautiful results in 1-2 weeks. No matter which option you choose, you’ll be happy with the confident smile you see in the mirror.
Smile Makeovers
Dr. Harper and Dr. Cooper understand that years of cosmetic imperfections can feel overwhelming. Oftentimes, these cases require more than one service to achieve the necessary results. Instead of treating each issue separately, we can recommend a personalized smile makeover. By combining multiple treatment options into one plan, we can more efficiently produce a beautiful, life-changing smile you can be proud to show off to others.
Understanding the Cost of Cosmetic Dentistry
If you want a brighter, straighter smile that you genuinely love, the last thing we want is for the cost to be the only thing standing in your way of pursuing it. To prevent that from happening, we welcome several affordable payment options, including CareCredit. If you are interested in learning more on the topic of price, including why cosmetic dentistry is worth the investment, read on!
Which Cosmetic Dental Service is Right for Me?
Of course, the biggest factor that will impact the price you pay is the treatment you choose. At our Fort Smith dental office, we’re proud to offer everything from teeth whitening to veneers. Below, you’ll find a little more information about the cost of each.
- Veneers – Typically, veneers require the highest upfront investment. However, they can also conceal several imperfections at once and last for over a decade with the proper care and maintenance. In other words, there’s a good chance that this is the best option for your wallet in the long run.
- Metal-free restorations – Long gone are the days of having dark, noticeable restorations draw unwanted attention to your smile. Metal-free alternatives look natural and don’t compromise on durability. Plus, a portion of the cost is often covered by dental insurance providers!
- Dental bonding – This smile-enhancing solution is a great option for patients who are struggling with minor imperfections, including chips and gaps. It’s also one of the most cost-effective upfront, making it a great option for patients who don’t have a large budget.
- Teeth whitening – Professional whitening treatments are typically more mid-range in terms of cost. That said, they are a much better investment than over-the-counter products since those overpromise and underdeliver time and time again.
Cosmetic Dentistry Can Be an Investment Worth Making
All too often, patients assume that the only benefit is improved self-esteem. While that’s certainly noteworthy, the truth is that there are several other perks. To start, cosmetic dental treatments like veneers and dental bonding have the potential to positively impact your oral health by fixing cracks, chips, and gaps (as well as motivating you to take good care of your smile at home). Several studies have also shown that having a gorgeous smile can boost your professional success and love life. So, there’s really no limit to the positive impact cosmetic dentistry can have!
How to Make Cosmetic Dentistry Affordable
Although dental insurance providers don’t typically cover the cost of elective dental treatments, like teeth whitening, our team at Harper Dental does accept most PPO plans and can help you utilize any available coverage you do have. We also have another option: CareCredit. This trusted third-party financier offers payment plans so you can space out the cost of your smile makeover into smaller, more manageable chunks that fit easily into your budget.
