What Is Cosmetic Dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry involves a range of procedures designed to improve the appearance of your teeth and gums. These procedures can address various concerns, from discolored or chipped teeth to missing teeth, with treatments tailored to your unique needs.

Benefits of Cosmetic Dentistry

  • Enhance Appearance: Cosmetic procedures can give you a brighter, whiter, and more symmetrical smile.
  • Boost Self-Esteem: A beautiful smile can improve your self-confidence and the way you feel about yourself.
  • Improve Functionality: Many cosmetic procedures also enhance the functionality of your teeth, such as dental implants replacing missing teeth.

    Arlington, MA

    Great team who are all caring and responsive. I’ve needed several appointments lately and they’ve been very helpful with scheduling and taking great care of my teeth and gums. I recently needed a new crown and they very kindly squeezed me in at the last minute so I could have it completed before I went on vacation.

Key Cosmetic Dental Services We Offer

Teeth Whitening

Professional teeth whitening at Gentle Dental Arlington helps eliminate stains and brighten your smile. We offer both in-office whitening and take-home kits, ensuring fast, safe, and effective results.

Dental Veneers

Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells that cover the front surface of your teeth. They are ideal for addressing imperfections like chips, gaps, or discoloration, providing a flawless, natural-looking smile.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are the best solution for missing teeth, providing a permanent and natural-looking replacement. They restore both the function and appearance of your smile, allowing you to eat and speak comfortably.

Composite Bonding

Composite bonding involves applying a tooth-colored resin to correct minor imperfections such as chips, cracks, or gaps. This is a quick and affordable way to enhance your smile.

Dental Crowns and Bridges

Crowns and bridges are used to restore damaged teeth or replace missing teeth. Crowns cover a damaged tooth, while bridges are used to fill gaps caused by missing teeth, restoring both appearance and function.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are cosmetic dentistry services covered by insurance?

Many insurance plans do not cover cosmetic dental services as they are considered elective. However, procedures that restore function, such as implants or crowns, may be partially covered. Contact us for help with verifying your insurance coverage and exploring financing options.

Do cosmetic dentistry services hurt?

Most cosmetic dental procedures are minimally invasive and typically involve little to no pain. We use local anesthesia for treatments like veneers and implants to ensure comfort. After the procedure, any discomfort is usually mild and temporary.

Are cosmetic dentistry services permanent?

While many cosmetic treatments offer long-lasting results, they are not always permanent. For example:

  • Whitening can last from 6 months to 2 years.
  • Veneers typically last 10-15 years.
  • Dental implants can last a lifetime with proper care.

Are there any risks associated with cosmetic dentistry?

Like any medical procedure, there are potential risks with cosmetic dentistry, such as:

  • Sensitivity or discomfort post-treatment.
  • Improper placement (e.g., veneers or implants) if not done correctly, leading to possible complications.

However, these risks are minimal when performed by a qualified and experienced cosmetic dentist like ours. We ensure comprehensive consultation and preparation before any procedure to minimize risks.
