If you're looking for a more conservative way to transform your smile, dental bonding may be right for you.

Unfortunately, dental insurance rarely covers cosmetic dental treatments since most cosmetic procedures aren’t medically necessary. Some insurance providers may be willing to cover cosmetic treatments but they typically charge high premiums. Plus, most of them only cover a portion of the cost, with the rest forming part of your deductibles.
That said, there are plenty of financing options for cosmetic dentistry. For instance, you can use a conventional credit card to pay for cosmetic dental work or you could get a healthcare credit card for the same.
Whether you can have cosmetic dentistry with gum disease depends on the extent and severity of the gum disease. It also depends on the cosmetic treatment you’re undergoing and the dentist in charge of it. Most dentists wouldn’t recommend getting cosmetic dental treatments before addressing your gum disease.
In fact, addressing gum disease is common practice in the preparation phase of cosmetic dentistry. That’s because your cosmetic work won’t do much to enhance your visual apples if you have red or bleeding gums ruining your smile. Moreover, certain cosmetic fixtures like veneers make it harder to treat gum disease, meaning it’ll only worsen over time.
Cosmetic dentistry can fix a wide array of dental issues. Teeth whitening is the most common type of cosmetic dental treatment used to fix stains and discoloration in the teeth. It involves applying a strong bleaching agent on the teeth multiple times until it achieves the intended result.
Cosmetic dental treatments, like dental bonding, are great for hiding minor chips and cracks on the teeth. They also do a great job at concealing small stains or white spots on the teeth. Patients with large chips and fractures can opt for veneers instead. Veneers sit in front of the tooth surface, concealing the fracture behind it.
Cosmetic treatments can also help restore broken or missing teeth, giving you a complete smile. Dental implants are drilled directly into your jawbone to replace missing teeth. Dentures, on the other hand, are removable appliances that achieve the same purpose.
The most significant benefit of cosmetic dentistry is that it improves the appearance of your smile, giving you a beautiful smile to face the world confidently and seize every opportunity that comes your way. Your enhanced look will also make you feel less awkward and uncomfortable in social situations. When you look good, you feel good. The biggest benefit is your newfound confidence will flow into your everyday life. Big events, small moments. You’ll feel empowered to be the best version of yourself.
Some cosmetic dental treatments improve your oral health by aligning the teeth and making them less prone to infections. Crooked or cracked teeth create crevices where food particles can get stuck. These particles create a breeding ground for bacteria that can cause dental decay and compromise your oral health and your teeth’s structural integrity. Cosmetic dentistry eliminates these crevices for optimal oral health.
