Cosmetic Dentistry
While general dentistry serves to prevent and improve dental health, cosmetic dentistry is a makeover for the teeth. Whether patients want a stain-free smile or to correct imperfections, our cosmetic dentists design treatment plans designed to help patients achieve the perfect smile.
At Local Dental San Antonio, Dr. Joung Lee and Dr. Minkyung Lee believe that everyone deserves a smile that they’re proud of and provide exceptional cosmetic dentistry services for those with excellent oral health.
What is cosmetic dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry aims to produce a positive change in your teeth and your smile. Modern aesthetic dentistry has evolved from simply replacing and restoring dull or damaged teeth. It covers an entire scope of procedures that can make smiles look like new, transforming overall appearances. Cosmetic dentistry can correct a wide range of dental problems, like gaps, staining, and other flaws.
Since cosmetic dentistry is elective and not medically necessary, it’s generally not covered by insurance. However, in some cases, cosmetic dental work might be covered by insurance. For instance, if you have a cracked tooth as a result of a dental emergency, cosmetic tooth bonding may be necessary to restore the function and appearance of the damaged tooth.
Why is cosmetic dentistry on the rise?
Once exclusively for the rich and famous, cosmetic dentistry is now more accessible, successful, and affordable through flexible financing options. Plus, modern aesthetic dentistry is more than aesthetics. Our cosmetic dentists offer treatments that are both cosmetic and restorative. For instance, our composite fillings look natural while filling in little chips, gaps, and cavities.
