At Coleman Dental in Houston, Texas, our smile makeover patients believe that life-changing cosmetic dentistry is a beneficial investment. Indeed, for most people, the value of a healthy, desirable smile cannot be measured in dollars. We acknowledge, however, that cosmetic dentistry is not cheap.

Do you have to spend thousands of dollars to improve your smile? Actually, no. Today’s post focuses on the most affordable cosmetic dental procedures.

Dental Bonding
In many cases, dental bonding can be used to fix a tooth that has been chipped.

When our team repairs a tooth with dental bonding, a pliable resin material is applied to the tooth. We then expertly mold the material to create the desired shape. The resin is then hardened using a special light. After hardening, we perform any required trimming and shaping followed by a final polishing.

Dental bonding is ordinarily less pricey than porcelain veneers or dental crowns. Call us today at 713-783-2800 to discuss cosmetic dental financing options.

Beware of brand-new Grand Rapids area practices that advertise extremely low prices for dental bonding, veneers, or dental implants. The ability and artistic ability needed to attain minuscule tolerances should not be undertaken by a beginner. Thoroughly research any new cosmetic dentist you are considering for any cosmetic dental procedures or a complete smile transformation.

Tooth Whitening
Most Houston area residents are aware that there are several different tooth whitening methods. We always recommend scheduling a tooth whitening consultation to discuss your options. Even inexpensive OTC tooth bleaching systems can be misused and lead to tooth sensitivity, damage to tooth enamel, and spotty coloration.

Regarding the cost of teeth whitening: if you select an at-home system from a drugstore, you may have to buy several packages to achieve even slight whitening. In-office whitening or a take-home system from our office may be more cost-effective in the long run.
