Just two appointments can completely change your smile’s appearance. You can get veneers for a just a few teeth if you only have a couple of specific corrections you want to make, but you can also get enough to correct all of your visible teeth.

- Veneers: Veneers are thin shells of dental material that are designed to cover the entire front portions of the teeth. While they cost more than teeth whitening, veneers can transform the size and shape of your smile in addition to its color.
- Smile makeover: This option combines 2 or more cosmetic services to help you achieve your dream smile. While it’s often the most expensive solution, it’s the only way for patients with a variety of dental problems and imperfections to enjoy a beautiful smile once more.

Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs
Although you’d love to have a picture-perfect smile, cosmetic dentistry is a big investment. It’s common to have a few concerns before you’re ready to commit to any procedure. Don’t worry, your cosmetic dentist in Mount Pleasant will explain everything at your initial consultation. Here are the answers to a few frequently asked questions to ease any apprehensions.
Which cosmetic procedure is right for me?
No two smiles are the same, and everyone has unique goals. As a result, there’s not a one-size-fits-all treatment plan. You’ll first need a consultation to determine the procedure that’s right for you. Your cosmetic dentist will examine your mouth and learn more about your goals to create a personalized strategy to revamp your smile, which can include one or more treatments, such as:
- Porcelain veneers
- Full mouth reconstruction
- Smile makeover
- Teeth whitening
- Invisalign
You’ll know exactly what you’ll have to pay before committing to any treatment. You won’t be surprised by any sudden expenses, so you can focus on a stress-free journey to a beautiful smile.
Is dental health important for cosmetic dentistry?
Good oral health is a requirement for cosmetic dentistry to ensure the success of your investment. If problems aren’t treated, like a cavity, the issue can be covered up or aggravated, leading to a dental emergency. Your cosmetic dentist will check the health of your teeth and gums before moving forward with any elective procedures. Although it may add another step to your treatment plan, it helps safeguard your new smile from preventable complications.
How much does cosmetic dentistry cost?
There’s not a flat rate for cosmetic services because every treatment is different. We’ll provide you with an individualized estimate during your consultation, which we offer complimentary. Several factors influence the amount you’ll pay, such as the complexity of your case, materials used, and dental insurance. A member of our team will discuss your payment options to keep the smile of your dreams within your budget, like third-party financing. You can pay for your new smile using monthly installments based on your credit approval.
Can I use my dental insurance for cosmetic dentistry?
Typically, dental insurance doesn’t cover cosmetic procedures because they are elective; however, there is a gray area. Many restorative and cosmetic treatments overlap, like all-ceramic crowns. If a procedure is necessary for your dental health, you may be able to use your insurance to offset the cost. If applicable, we’ll work on your behalf with your dental insurance provider to file the required claim forms to lower the amount you pay out-of-pocket.
Can my teen benefit from cosmetic dentistry?
Many cosmetic treatments are suitable for teens, like teeth whitening or Invisalign; however, some procedures will need to wait until they are older, such as veneers. Your cosmetic dentist will assess their smile to determine if they are a candidate for any aesthetic procedures. We’ll help them achieve the beautiful, confident smile they need to support their success.
