What Cosmetic Dental Service is Right for Me?
When it comes to cosmetic dentistry, most people are typically trying to accomplish one or more of three things: whiter teeth, straighter teeth, or differently shaped or sized teeth. Dr. Mullens and Dr. Nguyen can help assist you with your possible options to achieve these goals. Your recommended treatments may include:
Cosmetic Dental Bonding – This treatment is ideal for small changes such as reshaping damaged teeth or covering visible flaws. It is typically among the most affordable treatments, but the results may only last up to five years.
KöR At-Home Teeth Whitening– At home whitening can be done from anywhere and is mid-range in terms of cost. It’s a great treatment for patients looking to brighten their smile faster and more effectively than with over-the-counter whitening products.
Veneers – These can be a bit more expensive, but they are very versatile and can change many aspects of your smile in just one treatment. They can even last up to 20 years with proper care and maintenance.
Metal Free Dental Crowns – If you have dark, metal crowns or fillings, Dr. Mullens and Dr. Nguyen can replace them with durable, tooth-colored restorations that work well and blend seamlessly into your mouth.
Gum Recontouring - This treatment can help reshape your teeth, so they look larger, and your smile appears less “gummy”.
Botox / Dermal Fillers- An excellent way to fill in or relax fine lines and wrinkles that can last for months. These treatments look natural and require minimal downtime (just a few hours).
Cosmetic Dentistry Can Be an Investment Worth Making
While cosmetic dentistry does seem like a big financial commitment, it can also be a valuable investment in your self-esteem. If you feel self-conscious about your smile or signs of aging on your face, these treatments can be an amazing improvement in your self confidence and self-esteem. This in turn can lead to better relationships, an improved social life, and more confidence to accomplish your professional goals, too!
How to Make Cosmetic Dentistry Affordable
While purely aesthetic dental care is not covered by dental insurance, there are often other options available to help make these treatments more budget friendly.
CareCredit– This independent financing program can make your treatment more affordable by splitting up the overall cost into smaller, budget-friendly payments.
Specials– At Distinctive Dentistry by Mullens & Nguyen, we run periodic specials on cosmetic treatments, including professional whitening.

Is Cosmetic Dentistry Safe?
Yes, cosmetic dentistry is generally safe when performed by a qualified and experienced dentist. Procedures such as teeth whitening, veneers, crowns, and bonding have been practiced for many years, and advancements in techniques and materials continue to enhance their safety and durability. However, as with any medical or dental procedure, there can be risks. It’s crucial that you communicate with us about their medical history, expectations, and concerns. Potential side effects or complications can often be minimized by following post-treatment care guidelines.
Does Cosmetic Dentistry Hurt?
Cosmetic dentistry encompasses a variety of procedures, and modern advancements have made these treatments more comfortable than ever. Many procedures, like teeth whitening, are typically pain-free, while others, like veneers or crowns, have been refined to maximize patient comfort. Dental professionals prioritize the well-being of their patients, using state-of-the-art technology and anesthetics to ensure a pleasant experience. While slight sensitivity or a brief period of adjustment might follow some treatments, these sensations are often temporary and mild. Always communicate with us about any concerns, as we are equipped to make your cosmetic dentistry journey as comfortable as possible.
Is Cosmetic Dentistry Covered by Insurance?
Cosmetic dentistry primarily focuses on improving the appearance of one’s smile, rather than addressing essential health concerns. As a result, many insurance companies categorize cosmetic procedures as elective and often do not cover them. However, there are exceptions. Some treatments, like crowns or certain types of fillings, may be both aesthetic and functional in nature, leading to partial or full insurance coverage. Coverage varies by provider, policy, and specific procedure. If considering cosmetic dentistry, it’s essential to review your insurance policy or speak directly with your insurance provider to understand what’s covered and any associated out-of-pocket costs.
How Do I Know If I Need Cosmetic Dentistry?
Determining the need for cosmetic dentistry is often a mix of personal desire and professional advice. If you’re self-conscious about your smile due to stained, chipped, misaligned, or missing teeth, cosmetic dentistry might be a solution to enhance your appearance and confidence. It’s not only about aesthetics; some cosmetic procedures also address functional issues. The best approach is to consult with us. We can provide a thorough examination, discuss your goals and concerns, and recommend treatments that align with your aspirations. Remember, the decision is personal; it’s about how you feel and what changes you wish to see in your smile.
