Title: How Much Does Cosmetic Dentistry Cost?
1How Much Does Cosmetic Dentistry Cost?
2People feel excited when they hear about the many
options to improve their smile and appearance
with cosmetic dentistry. This term describes
several elective procedures for the primary
purpose of smile enhancement. Because cosmetic
dentistry is elective and not considered
medically necessary, many insurance companies
dont offer coverage for these procedures. This
leads some patients to ask, How much does
cosmetic dentistry cost? The answer to that
depends on many factors, such as the procedure
you choose and the complexity of the work
required.
3Average Costs for Popular Cosmetic Dentistry
ProceduresThe Consumer Guide to Dentistry
compiles typical costs for cosmetic dentistry
enhancements across the country. Keep in mind
that a Midwestern location like La Grange,
Illinois will have cheaper prices than places
like New York City or Los Angeles. These figures
should help you budget for the procedure you want
4Dental Implants This alternative to removable
dentures creates artificial tooth roots that Dr.
Qureshi attaches your dentures to. Many people
prefer dental implants because they are a
permanent and non-removable solution. The cost of
a single implant is around 2,500 and can go up
to 35,000 to replace more than six teeth.
Factors influencing the cost include whether you
need a bone graft, sinus lift, or another
procedure prior to Dr. Querishi installing the
implants.
5Orthodontic Treatment Invisalign clear braces
cost up to 7,500 with traditional metal braces
running approximately 1,000 less. Since braces
are usually not purely cosmetic, many dental
insurance companies provide some coverage for
them.Porcelain Veneers A veneer is a thin
ceramic shell that disguises minor tooth
imperfections such as gaps, stains, and cracks.
The cost can range from 900 to 2,500 per tooth.
6Teeth Whitening Professional teeth whitening
removes stains from smoking, coffee drinking,
aging, and other causes. It can brighten your
existing shade by up to 10 times. Each one-hour
session at Healthy Smiles of La Grange runs
around 600.Several Financing Options
