Do your teeth force you to think twice every time before you smile or say a word? If so, you’re far from alone. Many of our patients, even those with healthy teeth, feel self-conscious about their smiles because of noticeable flaws, but a solution is easily available thanks to cosmetic dentistry. Using the treatments detailed below, we can make any imperfection disappear and help you achieve the big, bright, and beautiful teeth you’ve always wanted, usually in just one or two appointments. Sound too good to be true? It isn’t! Give us a call to learn more.
“How are their teeth that perfect?!” If you’ve ever thought this while watching TV or a movie, you were likely looking at porcelain veneers. A go-to treatment for famous actors and singers alike, this procedure involves placing thin ceramic coverings over the teeth that can change their shape, size, and color to whatever you want. They are always custom-made to deliver the best results, and you can get one or an entire set in just two easy appointments.

Want to fix an annoying chip, stain, or gap, but don’t want to break the bank doing it? Direct bonding is the perfect balance of affordability and effective treatment that can dramatically improve your smile’s appearance. A composite resin is applied to your flawed tooth, and then we’ll sculpt it in such a way that it completely hides any blemish. The procedure only takes about an hour, is 100% painless, and the results can last for up to 10 years.

Have a wedding, date, or job interview that will be here before you know it, and you’re worried that people will notice your stained teeth? You can brighten them in just an hour or less thanks to our Zoom! Whitening treatment. Combining a powerful bleaching gel with a special low-UV light, we can break up and eliminate even the most stubborn stains in record time. This one procedure can easily make your teeth 6-8 shades brighter!
Our at-home whitening kits allow you to literally brighten your smile while you surf the web or binge your favorite show. We’ll provide you with a set of mouth trays specially-made for your smile as well as a bleaching gel that is much more concentrated than anything you’ll find at the store or online. All you have to do is use our kit for about 30 minutes a day for 2 weeks, and right before your eyes, you’ll watch as the glow is restored to your smile.
Do you have an overly-prominent gum line that causes your teeth to look short and stubby? This is known as a “crowded” smile, and it’s a very common issue we can fix here at New Haven Dental Group. Using our soft tissue laser, we can painlessly remove any excess gum tissue to instantly make the teeth appear longer. We can then reshape the new gum line along the teeth or place a crown or veneer over a tooth to completely transform its appearance.

Over the course of a few appointments, we’ll turn the smile of your dreams into a beautiful reality you’ll be able to enjoy for a lifetime to come.

Cosmetic dentistry can cost a significant amount of money, so you might wonder if it is worth your hard-earned dollars. That is up to you to decide. Many patients have no regrets about investing in their smile due to the many benefits they experience, such as:
Dental insurance almost never covers treatments that are deemed to be purely elective. Therefore, you should not expect your plan to help you pay for teeth whitening, veneers, or other services whose primary purpose is to enhance your appearance. However, your insurance might cover metal-free restorations or other treatments that can both improve your look and benefit your oral health. Our team can help you figure out how your benefits might apply.
Here are a few other provisions that might make it easier to afford your new look:

While cosmetic dentistry is often labeled as “expensive,” the truth is that cosmetic services are available at a range of price points. For example, teeth whitening starts out at just a few hundred dollars. Dental bonding is also relatively affordable, with treatment starting at a few hundred dollars per tooth.
Other services cost more. For example, a full set of veneers can run tens of thousands of dollars. However, they present an attractive value because of their beauty, longevity, durability, and other benefits.

Patient safety is one of our top priorities, so we never recommend any treatment where the risks outweigh the potential rewards. We will carefully screen you for any oral health conditions that might interfere with the success of your cosmetic treatment, and we are happy to answer your questions about the pros and cons of any given service. As long as you receive care from a qualified cosmetic dental team, you can be confident that you will enjoy a safe and low-risk experience.
Cosmetic dentistry is only dangerous when unsafe methods are used or when treatment is performed by someone without the proper level of experience and training. For example, we strongly recommend against many DIY treatments, such as the use of household items to straighten teeth in place of braces or clear aligners.
The lifespan of cosmetic dentistry depends on which service you undergo and how well you care for your smile. Teeth whitening usually lasts anywhere from a few months to a few years, dental bonding can last 5 years or so, and veneers may last for up to 20 years or longer.
To help your treatment stand the test of time, you should:
Most cosmetic treatments are non-invasive or minimally invasive, so if you experience any discomfort, it should be minimal. We administer local anesthetic when necessary.
After your treatment, you might notice an increase in dental sensitivity. This issue is usually temporary; in fact, it tends to wears off within a few days. You can minimize any discomfort by avoiding hot and cold foods, taking over-the-counter pain relievers, and following other posttreatment instructions provided by our team.
