Cosmetic Dentist – Hingham, MA

Which Cosmetic Dental Service Is Right for Me?

Cosmetic dentistry can fix a wide range of dental imperfections. In general, our cosmetic patients usually want to achieve whiter, straighter, and/or differently shaped/sized teeth. Dr. Hegazi can help you explore all possible options, such as:

• Teeth Whitening – Are your teeth stained from years of drinking coffee or smoking tobacco? ZOOM! in-office whitening can turn your enamel several shades brighter over the course of one short dental visit! If you prefer a more gradual whitening process, you can ask us about our take-home kits.
• Cosmetic Bonding – One of the cheapest cosmetic options, bonding is great for small changes like concealing small chips or cracks. Affordable and fast, bonding treatment typically must be touched up every few years.
• Veneers – Veneers can enhance a single tooth or transform an entire row of teeth. Veneer treatment typically costs more than other options but can also last for over a decade with proper care.
• Lumineers – Lumineers are similar to veneers but are thinner and therefore do not require any tooth enamel to be removed. Not only does this simplify the process, but it also means the tooth itself is kept fully intact. Lumineers and veneers usually cost about the same.
• Gum Recontouring – Do you have a “gummy” smile? Dr. Hegazi can carefully remove unneeded tissue and reveal more of your natural teeth to restore balance to your grin.

Cosmetic Dentistry Can Be an Investment Worth Making  

Partnering with a cosmetic dentist in Hingham to rejuvenate your smile can seem like a big commitment. However, investing in cosmetic dentistry can pay off for many years to come. When you arrive to a job interview, a date, or even a get together with friends, your smile is often the first thing others notice about you. If you don’t feel confident about your teeth, you may behave in a more timid, self-conscious manner. On the flip side, greater confidence can often lead to a more active social life, more successful romantic life, and even greater professional opportunities. In this sense, the cost of a confident smile is really priceless.

How to Make Cosmetic Dentistry Affordable

As we mentioned above, most dental insurance plans do not cover cosmetic dentistry. However, it’s still possible to enhance your smile without busting your budget. For instance, qualified patients can access flexible dental financing through CareCredit. A trusted partner, CareCredit provides low-to-no interest payment plans for cosmetic procedures. By breaking down the cost of veneers, bonding, or other cosmetic care into smaller monthly payments, you can boost your smile now and pay back the cost over time.

At Admired Smiles Dental Center, we are committed to helping patients achieve the beautiful smiles of their dreams in an affordable way. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Hegazi to learn more about the cost of cosmetic dentistry in Hingham and explore different payment options.

Which Service Is Right for Me?

With so many versatile cosmetic services to choose from, it can be difficult to tell which one is right for you. That’s perfectly ok! When you visit us for a consultation, we’ll discuss your goals for your smile with you and evaluate your oral health. From there, we’ll be able to recommend which treatments will be best for helping you reach your desired goals!

How Long Does Cosmetic Dentistry Take?

How long it takes to get your ideal smile will depend on what treatment you choose. Some cosmetic services can be completed in one quick and easy appointment, such as cosmetic bonding and teeth whitening. Custom-made solutions that need to be crafted, such as dental crowns and porcelain veneers, will need a few weeks to be designed, fabricated, and placed. We’ll give you a personalized estimate of how long you can expect your treatment to take during your consultation.

Am I Too Old for Cosmetic Dentistry?

There is no upper limit to cosmetic dentistry! No matter how many years you’ve seen, we believe you deserve to have a beautiful, confident smile. To qualify for cosmetic dentistry, you’ll need to be in good oral health, so we may recommend treatments like fillings or gum disease therapy before improving the appearance of your pearly whites. We also offer services like tooth extractions and replacements to help you get the smile you deserve.

Can Kids Get Cosmetic Dentistry?

Whether your child chipped a tooth playing their favorite sport or their teeth are discolored from drinking too many sodas, they may be eligible for cosmetic dentistry. Not all services are a good choice for children, especially if they still have some of their baby teeth. However, they may benefit from simple treatments like teeth whitening or cosmetic dental bonding. We’ll need to meet with your child or teen first to ensure they’re a good candidate for cosmetic dentistry, and then we’ll help you determine which treatment might be best for their situation.

Does It Hurt to Get Cosmetic Dentistry?

No matter which service you choose to pursue on your journey towards the smile of your dreams, we will always strive to make it a comfortable one. Our knowledgeable and friendly team has years of experience, and in some cases, we may recommend numbing your mouth to ensure you feel little to no discomfort. If you have moderate dental anxiety or want to complete several treatments at once, oral conscious sedation may be a good choice for you.
