Cosmetic Dentistry Services in Chicago

We provide most cosmetic dental services to our patients, so if you want to schedule an appointment or have more questions, call our Chicago office, and we can help you.

Are Cosmetic Dentistry and General Dentistry the Same?

Although both are part of the field of dentistry, they are two separate specialties. Cosmetic dentistry focuses on the aesthetics of the teeth. It provides services that will improve their appearance, such as teeth whitening, repairing broken or chipped teeth, and topical applications for whiteness or cavity protection.

General dentistry, however, focuses on the functionality of the teeth and making them as functional as possible through fillings, bridges, dentures, and hygiene improvement. Although a cosmetic dentist can provide the same services as a general dentist, they generally don't. Most people get general dentistry procedures from their family dentist.

What Services Are Available From a Cosmetic Dentist?

Most cosmetic dental procedures are available from a cosmetic dentist, but the following are the three we most commonly see in our Chicago office:

• Gummy smile surgery
• Porcelain veneers
• Teeth whitening

We also provide cosmetic dental surgery in Chicago, so if you need dental surgery, you needn't look elsewhere for it. If you need veneers or caps for cracked or chipped teeth, give us a call to schedule an appointment. They're more expensive than a teeth whitening procedure but less expensive than implants or a bridge. We'll work with you so that you can have the smile you want at an affordable price, and be assured we'll never recommend a procedure you don't need.

What Will My Cosmetic Dentistry Cost?

The cost of each procedure is unique to the individual. It will be influenced by several factors such as the materials used, the procedure performed, any additional procedures that are necessary, and your insurance coverage. When you come to our Chicago office for your initial evaluation, we will discuss your objectives, thoroughly examine your teeth and gums, and then provide you with an estimate of the cost. If finances are an issue, we'll work with you.

We accept most major credit cards, most major insurance plans, Medicare, CareCredit, and Smile Alliance Club. Sometimes, we can combine procedures to save you money, and each office has periodic specials on its website. For your convenience, we'll bill your insurance company.

Smile Alliance Club isn't insurance. Instead, it's a discount dental membership program that provides substantial discounts on dental procedures, both routine and emergency. There are no exclusions, there's no waiting period, and the entire family is covered when the membership fee is paid. Smile Alliance Club also provides vision and prescription benefits.

CareCredit is a credit card that can only be used for healthcare expenses, including those incurred at the veterinarian's office. You pay the healthcare provider with the credit card, then pay the card in monthly installments just as you would with a major credit card.

With all the payment options available in our Chicago office, it's easy to get the smile you've always wanted and stop searching for the "best cosmetic dentists near me."

Is Cosmetic Dentistry Covered by Insurance?

Generally, most insurance plans don't cover the cost of cosmetic dentistry because it's not considered medically necessary. However, if you've been injured or have had a trauma to your face or jaw, then there may be an exception. We recommend that you speak to your provider before your appointment so you know the extent and limitations of your policy. Bring that information with you.
