Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are one of the most popular cosmetic treatments in the world, and that’s because it’s able to correct multiple aesthetic flaws with just one easy procedure. Extremely thin ceramic restorations are placed over the front of the teeth like masks, enabling patients to change the shape, size, and color of their teeth to whatever they want. In just two appointments, Dr. Dean can use veneers to make stains, chips, cracks, and gaps all disappear behind a pristine white smile.
Metal-Free Dental Restorations
In the past, if you needed to have a tooth repair, you had to make a choice: do you want the crown to look good, or be durable? Thankfully, Dr. Dean can now offer a solution that is the best of both worlds. E-MAX crowns are made of a high-quality ceramic that’s able to perfectly recreate the look, feel, and color of real enamel down to the finest detail. Once in place, the only people who will know where the restoration is will be you and Dr. Dean!
Dental Bonding
For minor cosmetic issues, no solution is faster or more effective than direct bonding. For this, Dr. Dean will apply a color-matched composite resin to a tooth and sculpt it to cover the offending flaw. In just an hour or less, he can get rid of minor stains, thin gaps, and even small chips. The procedure is not only fast, but painless as well, and the results can be trusted to last for about 10 years.
Gum Recontouring / Crown Lengthening
Do your teeth seem too short because whenever you smile, all you can see if your gum line? This is a very common issue, and in addition to affecting someone’s appearance, it can also make them more likely to develop gum sensitivity. Fortunately, Dr. Dean can quickly and precisely remove excess gum tissue using a dental laser. Fast, painless, and precise, he can expose more enamel to instantly make the teeth appear longer and the smile more balanced.
Understanding the Cost of Cosmetic Dentistry
Are you considering cosmetic dentistry in Covington? You might be hesitant to move forward with the process if you’re worried about the cost. Since every case is unique, it’s impossible to provide an accurate price estimate until you come in for an exam. Rest assured – our team will thoroughly explain the pricing information and your financing options so you can know exactly what to expect. We don’t want you to have any surprises on your bill!
What Cosmetic Dental Service is Right for Me?
The first step on your journey toward a new smile is a consultation with Dr. Dean. During your appointment, he’ll help you determine which cosmetic service is best for your needs. Based on your needs and goals, our team will recommend one of the following treatments:
- Teeth Whitening – If you want to improve the color of your smile, this option may be right for you. Professional teeth whitening is relatively fast and cost-effective. However, this service cannot help with the shape or position of your teeth.
- Dental Bonding – Dr. Dean can hide minor imperfections with dental bonding. Although this option is often the most affordable, your results won’t last as long, meaning you’ll have to get this treatment redone every few years.
- Clear Braces – With clear aligners, you can get the straight smile you’ve always wanted without the hassle of metal wires and brackets. Keep in mind that it can be a significant investment for a service that can’t improve the color or shape of your teeth.
- Veneers – Even though veneers are costly, they’re the only option capable of transforming multiple different aspects of your smile at once. Plus, you can ensure your results last over a decade with proper care and maintenance.
Cosmetic Dentistry Can Be an Investment Worth Making
We understand that cosmetic dentistry can feel like a significant financial commitment. However, many patients find it to be an investment worth making!

What Can I Do About My Gummy Smile?
If you feel like you have a “gummy” smile, then the best thing to do is schedule a consultation with our Covington cosmetic dentist, Dr. Dean. After taking a look at your teeth and gums, he can determine if you’re a candidate for gum recontouring. If you are, then he will use a precise and painless dental laser to remove the excess gum tissue, providing you with a more balanced smile in the process.
Is Cosmetic Dentistry Covered by Insurance?
Since dental insurance plans typically only cover treatments that are “medically necessary,” many patients automatically assume that they’ll have to pay for their entire smile makeover out-of-pocket. That’s not necessarily the case! After all, some treatments that fall under the cosmetic umbrella also benefit the health and function of your smile. Clear aligners are a great example because improving the alignment of your teeth can benefit your confidence as well as your oral health and bite. In short, it’s always worth reading through the fine print on your plan to see exactly what is and isn’t covered.
How Do I Know If I Need Cosmetic Dentistry?
If you cover your teeth when you laugh, keep your lips closed when you smile for pictures, or something similar, then you should absolutely schedule a consultation with Dr. Dean. At this appointment, he will learn all about what you’d like to change about your smile as well as what your aesthetic goals are. From there, we will take a look at your teeth and gums to make sure there aren’t any existing oral health concerns (i.e., tooth decay, gum disease, oral cancer). The final step will be to review all of the services available to you, answer any questions you have, and create your custom treatment plan!
How Long Does Cosmetic Dentistry Last?
One of the biggest factors that will impact the longevity of your results is how well you care for your smile. After all, if you don’t floss consistently, adopt unhealthy dental habits (like smoking), and skip your routine dental checkups, your smile will suffer. That’s why we always encourage our patients to prioritize preventive care before and after their smile makeover.
It’s also important to mention that some cosmetic dental treatments simply last longer than others. For example, the results of professional teeth whitening can last for several months while the results of clear aligners can last a lifetime!
