What are my Costs?
Costs of cosmetic procedures vary greatly depending on a number of variables including:
Cosmetic dental techniques have advanced dramatically over the last decade. The quality of materials like porcelains and composite resins has improved, giving a more life-like appearance. And, where once gum tissue surgery and contouring was performed by traditional surgery with surgical scalpels, lasers or electro-scalpels are more readily used.
The
question sometimes arises, "How much does cosmetic dentistry cost?"
This is a broad question and the answer can vary as widely as
the question, "How much does a car cost?" The answer
is that the price varies depending on the quality, design, and workmanship
that you want in the finished product as well as the care and attention
that you receive along the way. Although sometimes inquiries are
only about cost, that should not be the determining factor. Just
as if you were selecting a brain surgeon, or even a restaurant or hotel
for that matter, you wouldn't want to make your selection based on price
alone.
Like
all purchases, cost is relative to value. To some, a luxury vehicle
is expensive, but to others, it's a great value. No two patients
are alike. And in our practice, all cosmetic dentistry is tailored
to the individual needs and wants of the patient. The cost of our cosmetic
procedures for any one patient can range from as little as a few hundred
dollars to thousands. That's because cosmetic procedures can run
from entry-level procedures such as tooth whitening to complex full-mouth
restoration cases. There is no "cookie-cutter" approach to
cosmetic dentistry. We believe each patient should have the benefit
of a prescribed combination of treatments best suited to bring about
their individually customized beautiful smile.
