What is cosmetic dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the look of your teeth, gums, and smile. Treatments may include whitening, veneers, crowns and bonding.

What is the difference between general dentistry and cosmetic dentistry?

General dentistry protects your oral health by treating issues like cavities or gum disease. Cosmetic dentistry focuses on appearance, often combining functional improvements with aesthetic results.

Is cosmetic dentistry painful?

Most treatments are minimally invasive and performed under local anesthesia for comfort. Your Aspen Dental dentist will explain each step so you know what to expect.

How long do cosmetic dental procedures take?

Some treatments, like teeth whitening, can be done in a single visit. Whereas, dental crowns and bonding may require two or more appointments.

How much does cosmetic dentistry cost?

Cosmetic dentistry costs vary depending on the type of treatment and number of teeth involved. For patients without insurance, flexible financing options and the Aspen Dental Savings Plan can make care more affordable.

How long do cosmetic treatments last?

With proper care, veneers and crowns can last 10 to 15 years or more. Whitening results vary depending on lifestyle habits, but regular touch-ups can help maintain brightness.

Not a long wait, easy in and out. Very nice help from the doctor who seemed to actually care about my health. Then through alot of misunderstandings, Sloane helped me understand everything I needed to get done. With how little I was excepting to get done coming in. I can now actually see an end goal in my dental health. It'll be rough, dont get me wrong. But they made it seem possible. Also, they are very very nice. Went in as a humbug and left actually looking forward to getting my teeth done.

Such sweet ladies in there, i loved the customer service

I loved Dr. Story, Sharon, and her staff. I felt really understood, seen, and respected. I had a couple of presenting issues and I felt she customized my health care plan not only to prevent future issues prioritizing my long term health but also my comfort. She was extremely through, answered all of my questions and put me at ease. The all-woman staff were wonderful — patient, gentle, and so considerate, especially knowing my past dental experiences. I feel so grateful for their thoughtful and kind approach. I will definitely come back again! I'm so glad to have found such a wonderful dentist.
