Porcelain Veneers

“How are their teeth that perfect?!” If you’ve ever thought this while watching TV or a movie, you were likely looking at porcelain veneers. A go-to treatment for famous actors and singers alike, this procedure involves placing thin ceramic coverings over the teeth that can change their shape, size, and color to whatever you want. They are always custom-made to deliver the best results, and you can get one or an entire set in just two easy appointments.

Dental Bonding

Want to fix an annoying chip, stain, or gap, but don’t want to break the bank doing it? Direct bonding is the perfect balance of affordability and effective treatment that can dramatically improve your smile’s appearance. A composite resin is applied to your flawed tooth, and then we’ll sculpt it in such a way that it completely hides any blemish. The procedure only takes about an hour, is 100% painless, and the results can last for up to 10 years.

At-Home Teeth Whitening

Our at-home whitening kits allow you to literally brighten your smile while you surf the web or binge your favorite show. We’ll provide you with a set of mouth trays specially-made for your smile as well as a bleaching gel that is much more concentrated than anything you’ll find at the store or online. All you have to do is use our kit for about 30 minutes a day for 2 weeks, and right before your eyes, you’ll watch as the glow is restored to your smile.

Gum Contouring/Crown Lengthening

Do you have an overly-prominent gum line that causes your teeth to look short and stubby? This is known as a “crowded” smile, and it’s a very common issue we can fix here at New Haven Dental Group. Using our soft tissue laser, we can painlessly remove any excess gum tissue to instantly make the teeth appear longer. We can then reshape the new gum line along the teeth or place a crown or veneer over a tooth to completely transform its appearance.

Smile Makeovers

For some patients, just one procedure isn’t enough to help them achieve their smile goals, and for them, we would recommend our smile makeover plan. For this, we put together a fully personalized collection of multiple procedures designed to work together that will dramatically enhance the look and health of your teeth at the same time. Over the course of a few appointments, we’ll turn the smile of your dreams into a beautiful reality you’ll be able to enjoy for a lifetime to come.

Cosmetic dentistry can cost a significant amount of money, so you might wonder if it is worth your hard-earned dollars. That is up to you to decide. Many patients have no regrets about investing in their smile due to the many benefits they experience, such as:

  • Increased confidence
  • Expanded career opportunities
  • A more youthful, attractive appearance
  • Increased motivation to care for their oral health
  • An improved overall quality of life

How to Make Cosmetic Dentistry Affordable

Dental insurance almost never covers treatments that are deemed to be purely elective. Therefore, you should not expect your plan to help you pay for teeth whitening, veneers, or other services whose primary purpose is to enhance your appearance. However, your insurance might cover metal-free restorations or other treatments that can both improve your look and benefit your oral health. Our team can help you figure out how your benefits might apply.

Here are a few other provisions that might make it easier to afford your new look:

  • A FREE smile makeover consultation. You can get started on the path to a fresh smile with nothing out of pocket.
  • Essential Dental plan. This discount plan comes with reduced fees on many of the services available in our office.
  • We accept third-party financing through both CareCredit and Sunbit.
