Cosmetic Dentistry

Most dental insurance plans don't cover treatments done purely for appearance, such as teeth whitening. However, some treatments may be partially covered when they also restore function. For example, bonding can repair a chipped tooth, and Invisalign may be covered under orthodontic benefits. Our team will review your coverage before treatment and can walk you through our insurance and financing options to help fit your new smile into your budget.

Yes, and many patients do. For example, you might straighten your teeth with Invisalign®, brighten them with professional teeth whitening, and then fine-tune the shape of a few teeth with veneers or bonding. During your consultation, we'll recommend the right order of treatments so each step builds on the last and your results look natural and balanced.

It depends on the treatment and how well you care for your smile. Teeth whitening results can last from several months to a few years, especially if you limit coffee, tea, and red wine. Porcelain veneers can last many years with good care, while bonding typically needs touch-ups sooner. Regular cleanings and checkups at Lake Norman Dental help keep your results looking their best.
