Virginia Beach Cosmetic Dentistry

In the past decade, there has been a dramatic interest in cosmetic dentistry. We all realize that having a healthy, bright, beautiful smile enhances our appearance and allows us to smile with confidence. We are able to improve our teeth and smiles with quick, painless, and surprisingly affordable treatments.

Cosmetic dentistry includes:

Change the size, shape, and alignment of certain teeth.
Fill in unattractive spaces between teeth.
Improve or correct bites.
Lighten or brighten the color of teeth.
Repair decayed, broken, cracked, or chipped teeth.
Replace missing teeth.
Replace old, unattractive dental treatments.
Remember, your smile speaks before you even say a word!

Cosmetic dentistry is typically not covered by standard dental insurance plans. Dental insurance plans generally focus on preventive and necessary dental treatments, such as cleanings, fillings, root canals, and extractions. These plans are designed to maintain or restore your oral health.

However, there may be some exceptions. In some cases, if a cosmetic procedure also has a functional benefit or is performed for medical reasons (e.g., fixing a misaligned bite that causes pain or addressing severe tooth damage), your dental insurance may partially cover it. It’s essential to check with your insurance provider and your dentist to understand the extent of coverage for any specific procedure and what, if any, out-of-pocket costs you may incur.

If you’re interested in cosmetic dentistry and want to explore your payment options, you can inquire about financing plans or discuss the cost and payment arrangements with us. We offer financing options to help patients manage the expenses associated with cosmetic treatments.
