While you wait for your appointment, here are the answers to the most frequently asked questions about cosmetic dentistry.
Is Cosmetic Dentistry Expensive?

You have more options than ever before to address comment aesthetics imperfections, which means there's a solution to fit your budget. Our office tries to keep a stunning smile affordable for everyone with various financial solutions.
Does Cosmetic Dentistry Hurt?
Dr. Aguilar will keep your comfort as his top priority. Depending on your treatment, he may use a local numbing agent to block any pain signals. While you might feel some unusual sensations or pressure, you will not have any outright pain during your treatment. However, after the effects of any numbing agents dissipate, your mouth might be tender for a couple of days. You can manage it with an over-the-counter pain reliever and eat soft foods until it improves. Dr. Aguilar may have additional aftercare instructions for you to follow.
How Long Does Cosmetic Dentistry Take?
Cosmetic dentistry isn't a single procedure. Instead, it's a category for elective services. Each procedure has a different timeline. Some can be performed in a single appointment, while others can take multiple visits. We understand that your time is valuable, which is why our office uses the latest technologies and techniques to reduce how long you're in the dentist's chair.
How Long Does Cosmetic Dentistry Last?
Every procedure has a different lifespan, and several things affect the duration of your results, like your aftercare routine. Dr. Aguilar will explain how long you can expect your results to last and what you can do to get the most from your investment, like brushing twice daily and flossing every night. Break any bad habits that may damage your results, like chewing on your fingernails, smoking, or using your teeth in place of tools. Besides caring for your smile at home, visit your dentist every 6 months for a cleaning and checkup.
Can I Use My Dental Insurance for Cosmetic Dentistry?
Dental insurance doesn’t cover elective services very often, but there are exceptions. Many cosmetic procedures also provide restorative benefits. If Dr. Aguilar determines treatment is medically necessary, you can use your coverage to lower the amount you will pay out-of-pocket. Your benefits may also include your consultation, imaging, and any prep work. A member of our office will work on your behalf with your dental insurance to maximize any coverage. They'll explain how your benefits are being used and your payment options for any remaining balance, like monthly installments through third-party financing.
