If you’ve never loved how your smile looks in photos or if you just want to try professional teeth whitening because over-the-counter systems have not worked, it’s time to call Dr. Matthew Bridges to learn about cosmetic dentistry in Duncan, OK. He offers all the services you’ll need to whiten, straighten, re-shape, and make over your smile. It all starts with a one-on-one exam and consultation.
Affordable Cosmetic Dentistry
We will estimate the cost of your cosmetic dentistry procedures after Dr. Bridges meets with you and gains a solid understanding of what you want your revised smile to look like. Some patients only need a few restorative procedures and teeth whitening, while others prefer a full smile makeover with porcelain veneers.
The cost of cosmetic dentistry depends upon many factors, like:
- Current health for your teeth, gums, and occlusion
- How you want your smile altered
- How many teeth will be treated
- Whether or not you finance your smile makeover
Note that dental insurance will not pay for purely cosmetic dentistry procedures. However, it usually covers part of the fees for restorative and prosthetic treatments that contribute to the health and appearance of your smile. Chisholm Trail Smile Center also works with third-party banks that offer low- and no-interest patient loans to qualified applicants. We want to make your dental care affordable! Call Chisholm Trail Smile Center today at 580.255.4880 to schedule your consultation with Dr. Bridges.
A Financial Investment that Pays Amazing Dividends
At first blush, you may consider cosmetic dentistry frivolous. A study by Kelton Research, however, reveals that a brighter, more attractive smile could help you land a higher-paying job!
Furthermore, the AACD found that people with a great smile are thought to be more:
- Friendly
- Happy
- Intelligent
- Interesting
- Kind
- Successful at work
- Sensitive to others
- Popular in a romantic capacity
In addition, depending upon the cosmetic dentistry procedures you undergo, the results could last for decades.
What does your smile need?
At your personalized consultation, Dr. Bridges will thoroughly examine your teeth, gums, head, neck, and jaws. He’ll talk with you about your health, medications, and past dental work, too. Dr. Bridges will ask what you’d like to change about your smile, as well. Together, you and the dentist will create a custom treatment plan to achieve your goals and deliver a smile you’ll want to show off.
Here’s a quick rundown of the most popular cosmetic dentistry treatments and what they accomplish.
Porcelain Veneers
These white, hard porcelain shells attach to the front surface of teeth that show when you smile. Each handcrafted veneer will be based on a plan that Dr. Bridges designs just for you. With proper care, veneers can last 20 years or longer.
Teeth Whitening
The most popular of cosmetic dentistry treatments, professional teeth whitening yields results that go beyond that of over-the-counter gels, pastes, strips, and pens. Our in-office and take-home whitening systems will brighten extrinsically stained tooth enamel by up to 10 shades.
White Crowns and Fillings
Often covered by insurance, crowns and fillings are restorative dental treatments. However, if you need new crowns or fillings, or you’d like worn-out restorations replaced, Dr. Bridges will use tooth-colored materials for an all-white result.
Cosmetic Bonding & Contouring
For cosmetic bonding, Dr. Bridges applies shade-matched composite resin to add structure to teeth that are chipped, malformed, permanently stained, or widely spaced. Cosmetic contouring smooths and reshapes sharp canine teeth, ridges leftover from childhood, and minor chips in teeth.
Tooth Replacement
Like restorations, prosthetic tooth replacements are often covered in part by dental insurance. Dr. Bridges offers bridges, partial dentures, and full dentures, as well as dental implants and implant-retained dentures to replace lost teeth. Our prosthetics look and feel natural, while restoring the oral function you need for good overall health.
