Metal-Free Dental Restorations
In the past, dentists would use metal to craft dental restorations. Not only could this cause unwanted side-effects like dental sensitivity and tooth discoloration, but it also highlighted damaged and decayed teeth so everyone could see them. Dr. Elbialy crafts his restorations from high-quality materials that can be customized to match the appearance of natural teeth, like ceramic and porcelain. Now, getting a cavity filling or dental crown doesn’t have to impact the appearance of your grin at all.
Smile Makeovers
If you have several changes that you’d like to make to your mouth, like replacing missing teeth, treating oral health problems, and restoring teeth that have been damaged, then a smile makeover may be the best option for you. During the consultation, we’ll ask you about the changes you’d like to see, your budget, and the timeline you had in mind. Based on all of this information, we’ll develop a treatment plan that will include two or more of our restorative and/or cosmetic dentistry treatments to achieve your goals.
Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs
What is the most popular cosmetic dental treatment?
Teeth whitening remains the most requested cosmetic dental treatment in our practice and practically every other dental office worldwide. Brightening the teeth can significantly enhance a person’s appearance and stands out as one of the most cost-effective options compared to other aesthetic procedures. At Schoharie Dental, we offer an at-home treatment that combines custom-made mouth trays with a powerful bleaching gel that is several times stronger than anything you’ll find in stores or online. It gives patients the flexibility to whiten their teeth whenever and wherever they want and stop once they reach their ideal shade.
What is the recovery time for cosmetic dentistry?
The amount of time it takes a patient to heal following a cosmetic procedure depends on many factors, chief of which is the extent of the procedure(s) they have undergone. It takes almost no time to recover after getting veneers or whitening, and two to three days of slight sensitivity is normal following the placement of a ceramic crown or bridge. Sticking to your dentist’s post-treatment instructions and maintaining consistent oral hygiene can also speed up the process while reducing the risk of complications.
Is cosmetic dentistry painful?
For the most part, cosmetic dentistry focuses on making subtle yet impactful improvements to the overall appearance of the teeth. As such, most procedures are minimally invasive and generally not painful. However, some mild soreness or tenderness is normal following any dental treatment. Fortunately, these effects are usually minor, short-lived, and can be easily managed with over-the-counter pain relievers if needed.
Can dental insurance help with the cost of cosmetic dentistry?
Most dental insurance providers classify cosmetic dentistry as an “elective” service, meaning they typically do not offer coverage. However, insurers may cover certain restorative treatments (like crowns) that repair issues such as broken or decayed teeth while also enhancing their appearance.
To help our patients achieve their dream smiles affordably, we currently offer special promotions as well as low-to-no-interest financing through CareCredit and LendingPoint, which can be easily applied for via our website.
