Cosmetic Dentistry FAQ Orland Park, IL

Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of your teeth, gums and overall smile. While general dentistry addresses oral health and function, cosmetic treatments are designed to enhance aesthetics, such as teeth whitening or veneers.

Most individuals can benefit from cosmetic dentistry, whether they want to correct discoloration, chips or alignment issues. Our dentists will evaluate your oral health and discuss your goals to determine the most suitable treatments for you.

The longevity of cosmetic treatments varies depending on the procedure and how well you care for your teeth. For example, veneers can last over 10 years, while teeth whitening results may require maintenance after a year or two.

Most cosmetic treatments are minimally invasive and designed with patient comfort in mind. For more extensive procedures, local anesthesia or sedation options can be provided to ensure a painless experience.

Insurance coverage for cosmetic procedures depends on the treatment and the insurance provider. Treatments that also improve oral health, like crowns or bonding, may be partially covered. Our team can help you navigate your insurance options.
