Cosmetic Dentistry in Westerville
Cosmetic dentistry can give you the smile you have always wanted. Whether it’s whitening or straightening, Westerville Dental Associates has a solution for you.
While many people associate cosmetic dentistry with treatments that can improve their smile, cosmetic dentistry can also resolve dental issues such as misshapen, crooked or misaligned teeth. In that sense, cosmetic dentistry can also be restorative.
Common Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures
Here are a few most common cosmetic procedures we perform at Westerville Dental Associates:
- Porcelain veneers: You know those beautiful, sparkling, perfect smiles movie stars have? There’s a good bet those are porcelain veneers. Veneers are one of the best ways to get the smile of your dreams.
- Teeth whitening: A hugely popular service at our office, teeth whitening can be done in our chair or from the comfort of your own home. We highly recommend going to a dentist instead of using whitening products from the local drug store. Our products are the most powerful and safest on the market.
- Clear “braces”: Clear aligners have become a staple for adults who need teeth alignment and straightening. They are virtually undetectable so can be worn all day without notice. In addition, they can be taken out to eat, brush and floss.
Affordable Cosmetic Dental Treatments
Teeth whitening is affordable for most people, whether done in our office or at home. Veneers can be fairly expensive as can clear aligners, but both treatments can be paid for by credit card or you can apply for CareCredit financing and make monthly payments. Many people use careCredit to finance all types of medical and dental procedures.
Insurance and Cosmetic Procedures
Clear aligners are often covered by insurance. Check with your insurance plan to see if they cover veneers or whitening procedures. If not, CareCredit could be a financing solution.
Cosmetic procedures can restore that beautiful smile and your confidence along with it.
Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs
Cosmetic dentistry allows you to improve not only the look of your smile but also your confidence. At Westerville Dental Associates, we offer a range of treatments that can be customized to your needs, whether you're looking for a small enhancement or a complete transformation. Here are some of the most frequently asked questions patients have about cosmetic services.
Who is a candidate for dental crowns?
A dental crown is ideal for anyone with a tooth that is damaged, decayed, cracked, or weakened, including teeth that have had large fillings or root canal treatment. Crowns also help improve the appearance of discolored or misshapen teeth.
How many veneers will I need?
The number of veneers depends on your goals and how many teeth show when you smile. Some patients choose just a few veneers to correct noticeable imperfections, while others select a full set across the upper teeth for a more uniform look. Our team will guide you in deciding what will provide the most natural and balanced result.
How will I take care of my new veneers?
Caring for dental veneers is much like caring for your natural teeth. Brushing, flossing, and keeping up with professional cleanings will help maintain their appearance and longevity. It's also a good idea to avoid using your teeth as tools and to wear a nightguard if you clench or grind.
Can whitening my teeth damage enamel?
Professional teeth whitening is safe when supervised by a dentist. The products we use are formulated to brighten teeth without harming the enamel. Some temporary sensitivity may occur, but it typically resolves shortly after treatment.
How white will my teeth get?
Whitening results vary depending on your natural tooth shade and lifestyle habits. Many patients achieve a smile several shades lighter, often close to the bright, natural look they desire. Our team can help set realistic expectations before treatment begins.
Are clear aligners faster than traditional braces?
Clear aligners, like Invisalign, can sometimes achieve results more quickly, but the timeframe depends on the complexity of your case. For mild to moderate alignment issues, aligners are often efficient, discreet, and comfortable. More complex concerns may still require traditional braces.
