Veneers
Slight crowding, dental damage, and discoloration are among the most common cosmetic dental flaws. Veneers can address all of these in one simple treatment. The restorations themselves are thin, durable sheaths made from dental porcelain and customized to mimic the appearance of natural enamel. Once secured over the visible surface of the affected teeth you want to improve, they’re able to last for up to 25 years.
Metal-Free Dental Restorations
In the past, dental restorations like fillings, crowns, inlays, and onlays were crafted from metal compounds, making them highly noticeable whenever you smiled or laughed. We utilize high-quality, natural-looking ceramic and porcelain to make lifelike restorations that hide damage, provide the necessary protection, and blend in with the rest of your teeth. Some of them can even be crafted chairside, like our CEREC same-day dental crowns.
Cosmetic Dental Bonding
Minor to moderate dental damage, like chips, as well as discoloration can be quickly and easily solved with affordable cosmetic dental bonding. Using the same material we use to fill cavities (composite resin), we can sculpt the missing portion of teeth. Because it’s biocompatible and can fuse with your tooth’s enamel, little preparation is required. The tight adhesion also allows your bonding to last for over five years with good dental hygiene.
Teeth Whitening
Whether you opt for a convenient take-home or in-office professional teeth whitening, our concentrated and trusted process for brightening smiles can provide you with outstanding, long-lasting results. Our take-home kit includes customized whitening trays and powerful gel to brighten your teeth by up to eight shades within two weeks. For those wanting more immediate results, our in-office treatment relies on the powerful components of Zoom Whitening and is administered under the guidance of a professional in as little as one hour.

Based on your goals and desires, our team will create a customized treatment plan to address all of your smile’s imperfections. It will include two or more of our restorative or cosmetic dentistry procedures, and we can complete it on a timeline that best works with your schedule and budget. Our advanced digital impression technology also allows us to show you what your final results will look like before you undergo treatment!
Understanding the Cost of Cosmetic Dentistry
The cost of your cosmetic dentistry treatment in Alpharetta will ultimately depend on the type of service you choose. Each treatment is associated with its own set of expenses, so the best way to get an accurate estimate is to schedule a consultation with our office. We know sticking to a budget is important for many patients and will provide you with as much information about your potential cosmetic dentistry costs as possible.
What Cosmetic Dental Service is Right for Me?
We offer many different cosmetic dental treatments here at Alpharetta Modern Dentistry, and rest assured, we’ll help you determine which option is best for your smile! Comparing your costs to what you’d like to achieve is an important part of the decision-making process, so here are some factors to consider:
- Dental bonding is quick, minimal, and perfect for concealing minor flaws, though it may not be as effective for those wanting a more comprehensive transformation. On average, it costs about $300 per tooth.
- Teeth whitening can be accomplished in one visit at the office, or over a period of two weeks with a take-home kit. Our formula can eliminate mild to moderate dental staining. Most professional teeth whitening treatments cost $1,000 or less.
- Veneers are likely what you’ll want if there are multiple teeth you’d like to cosmetically enhance. They tend to be pricier than dental bonding but can conceal more extensive flaws.
- Smile makeovers essentially bundle multiple cosmetic treatments together, making the costs especially unique to each patient. Ultimately, though, the goal is to reduce your expenses by streamlining the treatment process.
Cosmetic Dentistry Can Be an Investment Worth Making
No one likes thinking about how stained or cracked their teeth are. After completing your cosmetic dentistry treatment, you’ll be able to have a priceless peace of mind that comes with knowing your smile looks fantastic! Plus, a beautiful set of pearly whites can encourage you to take good care of your grin and practice consistent oral hygiene. Many patients consider their dental cosmetics to be a worthwhile investment.
How to Make Cosmetic Dentistry Affordable
Since dental insurance doesn’t typically cover cosmetic dental services, we understand that you might be worried about making your treatment affordable. Instead of relying on your benefits to help offset your costs, you can save money with our in-office dental wellness plan or CareCredit financing.
Enrolling in our wellness plan entitles you to consistent discounts on our various services, including cosmetic dentistry. You won’t be subject to a deductible or waiting period, either, which makes scheduling your treatment much simpler.
CareCredit is a reputable third-party financier. When you apply and are accepted, you’ll have access to several monthly payment plan options at little-to-no interest. If you’re hesitant to pay for your dental cosmetic treatment all at once, using CareCredit to break down your costs into smaller chunks could help you feel a lot more confident with your budget!
Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs
How Long Does It Take to Improve My Smile with Cosmetic Dentistry?
With several potential procedures involved in cosmetic dentistry, each case takes a different amount of time. However, certain treatments tend to have specific timelines. For example, in-office whitening, cosmetic bonding, and a CEREC crown can be started and completed during a single visit! Others, like veneers, usually require two appointments separated by a few weeks while your custom products are fabricated in the dental lab. When we recommend treatment(s), we will share the timeframe of each so that you know what to expect.
What Technology Do You Use to Make Cosmetic Dentistry Better?
A couple of pieces of cutting-edge technology at our office make treatment much more comfortable for you in the chair and more accurate for your results. Digital impressions eliminate the need for gobs of gag-inducing putty being pressed against your upper and lower arches. As a result, you can sit back and relax while we take measurements with a small instrument that easily fits in your mouth. Plus, the impression shows up on the screen within minutes, so we know if we have an inaccuracy to fix before it goes to the lab. If you feel nervous about your cosmetic treatment, we can offer nitrous oxide, which takes the edge off your anxiety and makes appointments much more pleasant.
Am I a Good Candidate for Cosmetic Dentistry?
The good news is that anyone who doesn’t have cavities or gum disease can explore and opt for cosmetic dentistry. If you have one of these issues, we will need to correct it first. However, once you’re in a healthier position, we can focus on improving your smile’s appearance and boosting your confidence to the next level.
Which Cosmetic Dental Treatment Is Right for Me?
From the outset, the right procedure might not be apparent to you, especially because a few of the potential options can be used for several issues. For example, if you have tooth discoloration, you could be eligible to do teeth whitening, but if your yellow or dull teeth are stubborn or from medications, veneers or bonding may be the wiser and more effective choice. When we meet with you, we will base our recommendations on observations of your unique smile and the goals you want to achieve.
