Indianapolis area patients ask about the cost of cosmetic dentistry procedures

Cosmetic dentistry is just one of many services at Washington Street Dentistry. Dr. Matthew Church and his staff have dedicated their practice to helping patients in Indianapolis achieve beautiful and healthy smiles. The cost of treatment is one consideration patients need to discuss with their dentist to ensure the procedures chosen are within their budget.

How much does cosmetic dentistry cost?

The cost of a treatment varies greatly. Longer-lasting treatments may be more expensive than treatments that offer the same solution but need to be replaced regularly. An example is composite resin bonding versus porcelain veneers. If a patient has a gap between their teeth, they may be able to quickly and affordably address it with composite resin bonding, which is a material used to fill the space in-between in a natural manner. However, composite resin bonding is susceptible to staining and may need to be replaced within a few years. Porcelain veneers, on the other hand, are ceramic restorations that are custom-made to bond over the front of these teeth and cover the same type of imperfections. They are more expensive, but are stain-resistant and can last a decade or longer with proper care. They are more of an investment when compared with composite resin bonding.

Which treatment is right for me?

Cosmetic dentistry encompasses a variety of procedures that can be used to enhance the appearance of the smile. There is no solution that works for everyone, which is why several options are available.Some treatments to consider include:

• Teeth whitening
• Composite resin bonding
• Porcelain veneers
• Dentures
• Dental crowns
• Aesthetic fillings
