Cosmetic Dentist in Natick, MA

It depends on how many teeth are treated and whether you choose porcelain veneers, Lumineers or bonding. At your consultation you get a written treatment plan with the price of each step before anything is booked, and we offer flexible financing options.

Treatment done purely for appearance — veneers or whitening — is usually not covered. Work that also restores a damaged tooth, such as a crown on a cracked tooth, may be partly covered. Check your benefits with your insurer before you start — we can tell you what to ask.

Both are thin porcelain shells bonded to the front of your teeth. Traditional veneers need about 0.5 mm of enamel removed; Lumineers are thinner and can often be placed with no drilling at all. Which suits you depends on the colour, shape and position of your teeth.

With good care, porcelain veneers typically last 10–15 years and sometimes longer. Composite bonding generally lasts 5–7 years. If you grind your teeth, a custom night guard helps protect them.

Generally not. We use local anaesthetic while the teeth are prepared. Some people notice mild sensitivity afterwards, which usually settles within a few days.

Zoom! in-office whitening can make teeth up to 8 shades lighter in about 45 minutes, though results vary with your starting shade and the type of staining. Whitening does not change the colour of crowns, veneers or fillings.

Whitening under a dentist’s supervision is considered one of the safest cosmetic treatments. Some people have temporary sensitivity to hot or cold, which typically fades shortly after treatment.

A smile makeover combines treatments — often whitening, straightening, veneers or crowns — planned together so the result looks natural and balanced. We plan it with you step by step, with the cost of each stage up front.
