What is the Cost of Cosmetic Dentistry?

The costs vary widely: whitening is relatively affordable, bonding is moderate, veneers and crowns are higher per tooth, and orthodontics or comprehensive makeovers are more significant. Some treatments can be prioritized: some patients do a smile makeover in stages – maybe upper front teeth this year, lower teeth next year, etc.

Because cosmetic procedures are often elective (not strictly medically necessary), insurance generally doesn’t cover things like veneers or bonding purely for appearance. However, if a tooth is being restored due to decay or fracture, insurance may cover a crown which also improves appearance. We will clarify what might be covered or not.
