Do you care about your smile but want to change how it looks? Cosmetic dentistry might be right for you. This type of dentistry focuses on making your smile look better, which can also improve your oral health. Many patients who get whiter, straighter smiles in our Arlington, TX office feel more motivated to take care of their new smile.
We offer general and restorative dental services to prevent problems and restore teeth and gums. Cosmetic dentistry is different because it focuses on how your smile looks. But after cosmetic care, many patients want to keep their smiles looking great and healthy.
What to Expect with Cosmetic Dental Care
Before starting any treatment, we’ll meet with you for a smile consultation. We’ll talk about your budget and what you want for your smile. We’ll also make sure your teeth and gums are healthy. If you have issues like decay or gum disease, we’ll treat those first. Then, we’ll suggest the best cosmetic treatment for you.
Dr. Nguyen and Dr. Seo have studied facial structure and know how to balance the smile with the rest of the face. Cosmetic dentistry blends art and science to create natural-looking smiles that fit your face.
The Cost of Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry is optional, meaning it’s not medically needed. Because of this, many dental insurance plans won’t cover the full cost.
At Cooper Family Dental, we accept CareCredit, which offers payment plans to help with the cost of cosmetic treatments. Some procedures, like bonding, might be considered restorative, so your insurance could cover part of the cost.
Getting the smile you’ve always wanted is now easier. During a consultation, we’ll talk about your options and find treatments that fit your needs and budget.
Oral Health Benefits of Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry does more than make your smile look nice. While a big part of it is improving how your teeth and gums look, there are other benefits too.
Straightening crooked teeth can lower your chances of tooth decay and gum disease. Crooked teeth make it hard to floss, leaving food stuck between teeth. Bacteria can then cause gum and tooth problems. After treatments like Invisalign, brushing and flossing are much easier.
Closing gaps between teeth also helps create a better bite. Uneven teeth or a misaligned bite can cause pressure on some teeth, wearing them down over time. Crooked teeth often lead to bite problems like TMJ.
Since cosmetic treatments make smiles look so good, patients often feel more encouraged to take care of their teeth. We find that patients brush and floss regularly to keep their teeth bright and wear retainers to maintain straight teeth. They also tend to come in for regular check-ups, which is key to keeping smiles healthy.
Cosmetic Dentistry in Arlington, TX
Before we start any cosmetic dental treatments, we make sure your mouth is healthy. This means we treat issues like cavities, tooth decay, and early signs of gum disease to ensure you’re ready for cosmetic care.
Here are some of the cosmetic dentistry services we offer:
Invisalign®
Invisalign is a clear alternative to metal braces. It uses a series of clear aligners to gently move your teeth into place over time.
Since the aligners are removable, you can brush, floss, eat, and drink easily. Invisalign is also more discreet and requires fewer office visits than traditional braces.
Porcelain Veneers
Dental veneers are thin shells that we attach to the front of your teeth. You can get veneers on a single tooth or all the teeth in your smile.
Veneers are great for covering damaged teeth, discoloration, gaps, or slightly crooked teeth. They are custom-made to match your desired shape and shade and look natural. Porcelain veneers are long-lasting and give you a bright, even smile.
Teeth Whitening
Our professional in-office and take-home whitening treatments give better and longer-lasting results than store-bought options. We use stronger whitening ingredients that help brighten your teeth quickly.
Teeth whitening is perfect for anyone looking to boost their smile for special events like weddings, birthdays, or graduations.
What is a Smile Makeover?
A cosmetic smile makeover is a way to improve your smile and boost your confidence. It combines different dental treatments, like teeth whitening, veneers, crowns, or braces, chosen to fit your specific needs. Each part is carefully selected to create a smile that looks natural and matches your facial features.
This makeover is not just about looking better—it’s about feeling better too! Many people feel more confident and enjoy social situations more after improving their smile. Remember that making changes to your smile is a personal choice meant to bring you happiness.
Whether you want to fix flaws or just get the smile you’ve always wanted, a cosmetic smile makeover can help you feel like the best version of yourself. It’s not just about looks—it’s about feeling good and letting your true self shine through every time you smile.
We can treat tooth gaps, stains, chipped or worn teeth, and crooked or misaligned teeth at the same time. It begins with a one-on-one consultation to discuss your goals, concerns, and budget. We’ll also take pictures of your teeth and gums to help us decide which treatments are best for you.
Depending on your plan, your smile makeover might include veneers, Invisalign, or whitening. We carefully time the treatments to make sure you get the best results. For example, we usually straighten teeth before whitening to ensure an even result.
A smile makeover can take weeks or even months to finish, but the results are worth it for many patients. Our treatments improve both the look and function of your teeth and gums.
