What cosmetic dentistry covers.
Cosmetic dentistry is a category that includes veneers, bonding, in-office or take-home whitening, gum reshaping, and full smile makeovers that combine several techniques. The right combination depends on what you want to change and what is safe given your bite, gum health, and existing dental work.
Every cosmetic consultation at our office starts with an examination and a conversation, not a recommended package.
Veneers vs bonding - the honest comparison.
Veneers are thin custom shells, usually porcelain, bonded to the front surface of teeth. They are durable, stain-resistant, and color-stable for many years. Most cases involve some preparation of the tooth surface, which makes the decision long-term.
Composite bonding uses tooth-colored material shaped directly on the tooth. It is less invasive, often reversible or minimally invasive, and faster - but does not last as long as porcelain and stains more easily.
We discuss both at the consultation and recommend the one that fits your goal and budget - not the one that brings the highest revenue.
Whitening, gum reshaping, and other small changes.
Many smile concerns can be addressed without veneers. Whitening - in-office or with a custom take-home kit - handles color. Reshaping or bonding handles minor chips and small gaps. Gum recontouring evens out a gummy smile.
Where one of these simpler approaches achieves your goal, we will suggest it first. Bigger changes are not always better changes.
What it costs in Schaumburg.
Cosmetic costs depend on the number of teeth treated, materials, and whether other work (whitening, gum reshaping, replacement of old restorations) is part of the plan. Cosmetic work is rarely covered by dental insurance.
We share the full estimate at the consultation. There is no "discount today only" - the price you see is the price.
