Cosmetic Dentist Athens
Making Your Whole Grin Shine
Our office is most concerned about your family’s oral health. That much is plain – dentistry’s highest goal is strong teeth and gums! Still, this focus doesn’t mean we ignore your grin’s looks. You can trust Athena Dental Associates to make your smile worthy of the red carpet. After all, our practice has a wide range of amazing cosmetic dentistry options here in Athens. Learn more about them by reading below and book a consultation visit to learn what we can do to boost your confidence.
Why Choose Athens Dental Associates for Cosmetic Dentistry?
- Personalized Cosmetic Results for Your Smile
- Opalescence Teeth Whitening Kits Available
- Advanced Digital Smile Design
Veneers
Veneers are thin, porcelain shells placed on the fronts of teeth. We use them to hide many smile flaws at once. These can include tooth stains, chips, cracks, and misalignments. They’re made to match your other teeth in color, size, and shape. Veneers are thus highly versatile and help your grin look uniformly beautiful.
Metal-Free Dental Restorations
A few decades ago, dentists were forced to use metal restorations. Such crowns and fillings didn’t look good, but luckily, things have changed in recent years. Our dental office can now provide you with metal-free restorations. These are made of resin and ceramic and blend with your smile. That means they’ll protect your teeth and enhance your looks. Better yet, they won’t trigger any metal-related allergies.
Cosmetic Dental Bonding
This service covers the flawed areas of teeth with a tooth-colored resin. It’s thus very well-suited to hiding minor stains, chips, and cracks. The bonding process also doesn’t take long, as it only needs an hour to work. The results can then last for ten years (or more) with proper care. In this way, cosmetic bonding is a highly cost-effective form of cosmetic dentistry.
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening (per its name) is a procedure that brightens your smile. Our office carries two types: in-office treatment and Opalescence take-home kits. The first offers ensured results through a dental visit. In that setting, we apply a whitener to your teeth and activate it with a curing light. For option two, you would wear Opalescence whitening trays for a few weeks. Each method would give you quality results regardless. By the end of either, your smile should be six to eight shades whiter.
BOTOX & Dermal Filler Treatment
We can also enhance your smile through facial cosmetics. One example is BOTOX – a series of injections that smooth wrinkles on your face. They can also treat muscle spasms and migraines. Alternatively, you could get a dermal filler treatment that plumps facial regions that have lost volume. You can consult our dental team to learn which of the two (or if both) are right for you.
Smile Makeovers with Digital Smile Design
This service combines two or more cosmetic dentistry procedures into a single treatment. It relies on digital smile design – an advanced imaging method for your teeth and face. Using this approach, we can show you a realistic preview of what your new smile will look like. We’d then adjust things to ensure your treatment results suit your face and perfectly meet your expectations.
Understanding the Cost of Cosmetic Dentistry
The cost of cosmetic dentistry varies from patient to patient, so you can’t just learn it yourself. You’ll need to consult our dentists for a more exact estimate of your care. Our team can then try and make things more affordable, walking you through treatment’s pricing factors, payment options, etc. To learn other relevant details, simply keep reading or book a consultation visit. We’ll gladly review the facts and ensure your gorgeous grin is budget-friendly!
Which Cosmetic Dental Service is Right for Me?
When someone gets cosmetic dentistry, they want one (or more) of three things: whiter teeth, straighter teeth, or differently-shaped teeth. However, don't forget that this field's services have varied prices and effects. You'd be wise to compare them before you commit; you'll end up with better, cost-effective results that way.
Here at Athens Dental Associates, we offer cosmetic procedures like:
- Teeth Whitening – Teeth whitening uses special gel to remove your enamel stains, brightening your grin in the process. That said, it comes in two types: in-office treatment and Opalescence take-home kits. Both methods have their own ways of lightening your smile’s color.
- Cosmetic Dental Bonding – By applying tooth-colored resin to teeth, dental bonding hides your smile’s minor flaws. That means it costs little and has seamless results, though its effects don’t last long.
- BOTOX Treatment – As a way to smooth your face’s wrinkles, BOTOX isn’t all that pricey. Many dentists provide it for just a few hundred dollars.
- Veneers – Veneers are small, tooth-sized shells placed on the fronts of teeth. Once set, they can hide stains, chips, and cracks behind a shiny white porcelain surface.
- Smile Makeovers – A smile makeover isn’t a distinct procedure; it’s a set of cosmetic dental services bunded into one treatment. For that reason, this option is the most expensive form of cosmetic dentistry.
Cosmetic Dentistry Is An Investment Worth Making
While it can look costly upfront, cosmetic dentistry is a great long-term investment. Its treatments “pay off” over time with perks and financial savings.
Firstly, don’t forget that pretty teeth can raise your quality of life. You’re more likely to feel self-assured, confident, and stress-free when your grin looks gorgeous. These effects would help you mingle with friends and family more smoothly, without worrying about your looks, speech, etc.
There’s also the fact that cosmetic dentistry can pay for itself. Once your smile looks stunning, you’ll make better first impressions and have more career success. Such things can even include passed job interviews, promotions, raises, etc., which would make up for any initial costs.
How to Make Cosmetic Dentistry Affordable
Even if dental insurance won’t cover it, cosmetic dentistry can still be affordable. Just look at our own Athens Dental Associates, for example. We offer helpful payment options like:
- Special Offers – Currently, our practice has a special offer on teeth whitening. We’ll gladly give you a 15% discount for this smile-brightening service.
- In-House Membership Plan(s) – For a moderate annual fee, our office will give you a 15% discount on many cosmetic treatments.
- Flexible Financing – Athens Dental Associates works with CareCredit and Sunbit, which are reputable 3rd party financiers. They’ll let you pay for cosmetic dentistry in monthly installments.
Your dream smile doesn’t have to “break the bank,” as the saying goes. Just learn how to finance it by consulting our team soon!
