Is Cosmetic Dentistry Worth the Investment?

The answer to that question depends largely on the cosmetic dentistry procedures necessary to achieve your aesthetic goals and your financial situation.

Although many cosmetic dentistry procedures can be beneficial to your overall dental health as well as enhance the attractiveness of your smile, the truth is that most are not covered by dental insurance. Because insurance plans vary and some may cover partial costs for some procedures, it’s best to check with your insurance provider before scheduling any cosmetic dentistry work.

Houston dentist, Dr. Scott Young, understands that cosmetic dentistry is an investment in the future health and aesthetics of your smile. The team at Woodlands Premier Dentistry does not want cost to be a reason to avoid cosmetic dentistry procedures, and we offer a number of payment and financing options to our patients.

Once you’ve undergone cosmetic dentistry procedures you can help protect your investment by:

• Practicing good dental hygiene, including brushing and flossing daily
• Not smoking
• Avoiding teeth-staining food and drink such as coffee and wine
• Avoiding poor oral health habits such as pen chewing, ice chewing and nail biting

If you would like to learn more about cosmetic dentistry procedures and financing options, please contact the office of Houston cosmetic dentist, Dr. Scott Young, at Woodlands Premier Dentistry to schedule your consultation.
