Frequently Asked Questions About Cosmetic Dentistry

1. How long do cosmetic dental procedures take?

It depends on the procedure. In-office teeth whitening may take only an hour, while full mouth rehabilitation using dental implants is a lengthier process requiring several months of commitment. Each procedure has its own timeline. A consultation with one of our prosthodontists is the best way to determine how long your cosmetic dental procedure will take.

2. Does insurance cover cosmetic treatments?

In most cases, no, because cosmetic dentistry is considered an elective procedure. However, if cosmetic dentistry is part of reconstructive work after an accident, serious illness, or traumatic injury, your insurance may cover part or all of the cost.

3. How do I know which cosmetic dentistry procedure is right for me?

Consulting with one of our skilled prosthodontists in West Chester is a great place to start. We can explore your options with you after discussing your aesthetic goals and examining your teeth and gums.
