Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers enable a patient to customize their smile in whatever way they like, changing the shape, size, and color of their teeth to create their ideal result. This is accomplished by placing thin ceramic sheathes over the front of the teeth that are designed to look like real enamel. Bonded in place using a tooth-colored resin, veneers are specially-made for each patient and can completely transform someone’s look in just two appointments.
Metal-Free Dental Crowns
If you have a broken or decayed tooth in need of repair, you don’t have to worry about our team placing an unnatural-looking gold or silver restoration in your mouth and calling it a day. Instead, we can give you an all-porcelain crown, inlay, or onlay that looks just like real enamel and can be trusted to stay in place for many years to come. With this one treatment, we can help a patient fully recover their appearance and oral function at the same time.
Cosmetic Dental Bonding
If you just have one minor flaw in your smile and don’t want to spend a lot to fix it, then cosmetic bonding may be perfect for you. A composite resin is applied to an imperfect tooth, and your dentist can use it to literally sculpt away a small chip, stain, or gap. The entire procedure only takes about an hour, but the results can easily last for a decade or more.

Opalescence® Teeth Whitening
If you have obvious stains on your teeth because of coffee, wine, or tobacco, don’t trust the underpowered whitening kits at the store to get rid of them. Instead, our team can provide you with an Opalescence Whitening kit, which contains a bleaching gel much stronger than anything you can buy on your own. You just have to use our kit daily whenever and wherever you like, and right before your eyes, you’ll see as your teeth become six, seven, or even eight shades brighter. It’s the most convenient way to get a smile that always lights up the room!

Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs
If you’re unhappy with the way your teeth look, your cosmetic dentist in St. Albans can help. Our office offers the advanced solutions you need to achieve a picture-perfect smile. We understand you have a few concerns before you’re ready to commit to a treatment. Don’t worry, we’ll explain everything during your initial consultation. While you wait for your appointment, here are the answers to a few of the most common questions patients ask us to ease your apprehensions.
What cosmetic procedures are right for me?
There isn’t any way to determine which services you’ll need without first performing an examination and learning more about the results you want to achieve. We will create a customized treatment plan to deliver the exact smile you want. Depending on your goals, you may be a candidate for one or more procedures, such as:
- Porcelain Veneers: A thin shell instantly covers a variety of aesthetic imperfections to improve the overall color, size, and shape of a tooth.
- Metal-Free Dental Crowns: A severely damaged or unattractive tooth can be rehabilitated using an all-ceramic dental crown.
- Cosmetic Dental Bonding: A composite resin material is customized to match the color of your enamel to fix minor flaws, like chips or cracks.
- Teeth Whitening: A highly-concentrated whitening agent deeply penetrates the enamel to get your teeth as many as 8 shades brighter.
- Smile Makeover: A combination of procedures enhance the appearance and function of your teeth.
How long will the process take?
The duration of your transformation process varies depending on your treatment plan. Some procedures can be completed in a single visit, while others may take a couple of appointments. We’ll explain how long you can expect the process to take during your consultation. We know your time is valuable, which is why we embrace the latest techniques and technologies to reduce how long you’re in the dental chair.
How much does cosmetic dentistry cost?
There isn’t a predetermined fee for cosmetic dentistry because the cost is based on your individual needs, such as the procedure required, and the number of teeth being treated. We’ll provide you with an estimate and explain the fees associated with your plan. A member of our team will discuss your payment options to keep your new smile within your budget. Besides traditional payment methods, we also accept third-party financing. Based on your credit’s approval, you are given the funds you need, which you’ll repay using a plan that accommodates your financial responsibilities.
Can I use my dental insurance to pay for cosmetic dentistry?
Most cosmetic procedures are considered elective. As a result, it’s rare for a dental insurance to cover the cost; however, there are some exceptions. Many cosmetic procedures also offer restorative benefits, like metal-free crowns or dental bonding. If a treatment is necessary for your oral health, you may be able to use your coverage to offset the amount you pay out-of-pocket. If applicable, we’ll work on your behalf with your dental insurance to maximize your policy to keep your treatment affordable.
