Veneers
Sometimes there might be more than one kind of cosmetic dental flaw that you want to fix. Instead of having a separate treatment done for each issue, you can correct them all at once with dental veneers. These thin, durable shells can be placed over the visible surfaces of your teeth to conceal discoloration, chips, cracks, small gaps, and other imperfections. And thanks to their durable nature, you can count on them to keep your smile looking stunning for years to come.
Metal-Free Dental Restorations
If you need to have a dental crown placed but don’t want to be stuck with an unsightly piece of metal in your mouth, we’re likely to recommend a metal-free dental restoration. Emax and porcelain dental crowns can be custom-crafted to blend in with the rest of your smile. In fact, they even reflect light the same way enamel does. But you don’t have to choose between aesthetics and quality; metal-free dental restorations can last for 10 years or more if they’re properly cared for.
Cosmetic Dental Bonding
Cosmetic dental bonding is often a good choice for a quick fix. Simply put, we will use custom-shaded composite resin to hide the problem areas on your teeth. Once the resin has been shaded and hardened in place, it will look like it’s part of your natural dental structure. In many cases, cosmetic dental bonding can be a quick, cost-effective alternative to veneers for making a variety of corrections.
Teeth Whitening
If you’ve used some of the teeth whitening products that are sold over the counter, you may have been disappointed with the results. Our dental practice offers professional ZOOM teeth whitening that has proven to be effective for removing all kinds of discoloration. With one of our take-home teeth whitening kits, you can enjoy a brighter smile in just two weeks; however, if you want faster results, we also offer in-office teeth whitening that can be completed in about an hour.

Gum Recontouring / Crown Lengthening
Do you see a little too much gum tissue on your grin? You may have what’s called a “gummy smile”, and it can result in teeth that look small and out of proportion. We can correct this with a gum recontouring procedure; by removing unnecessary gum tissue, we can reshape the gumline and enhance your smile. A similar procedure known as crown lengthening might be performed to expose more of your tooth so that a restoration can be placed.
Smile Makeovers
A smile makeover is a combination of any number of dental treatments designed to address the specific cosmetic issues that are bothering you. At the beginning of the process, we will take pictures of your teeth and digitally alter them to show you what kind of changes are possible. Then we’ll create a plan for making your dream smile a reality, which might include teeth whitening, veneers, gum recontouring, and many other procedures all working together to achieve your ideal result.

Botox (Cosmetic)
There is more to your smile than just your teeth! Fine lines and facial wrinkles also have a big influence on the appearance of your pearly whites, and we’re ready to help you with them using a tried-and-true method—Botox. A few quick injections can create smoother skin and a more youthful appearance, all while saving you an extra trip to the spa.
Lip Fillers
The perfect smile depends on the ratio between the teeth, gums, and lips. If too much or too little of each element shows, it can create a less-than-ideal look. We have plenty of options to enhance your teeth and gums, and with lip fillers, we’re able to refine the last piece of the puzzle to give you a result that will grab people’s attention for all the right reasons.
SureSmile Aligners
Many people would like to straighten their teeth, but they are reluctant to commit to regular metal braces. If that is true of you, we invite you to visit us for a SureSmile consultation. SureSmile is a well-known clear aligner system that can correct most cases of misalignment without the use of unsightly brackets and wires. It features a discreet appearance that can allow you to maintain your confidence throughout your treatment journey!
Understanding the Cost of Cosmetic Dentistry
Now that you understand more about the different cosmetic services available at Vason Family Dentistry of Buckhead, it’s natural to wonder how much they cost. After all, dental insurance doesn’t usually cover procedures that are intended to enhance your appearance, so you’ll need to find other ways to afford your selected treatments.
Our team believes that everyone deserves to have their ideal smile, regardless of their budget. We offer several solutions at different price points, so you can find options to upgrade your grin without breaking the bank.

Which Cosmetic Dental Service is Right for Me?
Whether you have one or several different flaws in your teeth that you want to address, we have ways to help. Our cosmetic services can remedy chips, cracks, stains, overcrowding, mild misalignments, and somewhat misshapen teeth.
The total owed for your treatments depends on your unique circumstances. Our team can provide you with a detailed estimate once you’ve had your consultation appointment with one of our dentists. A brief outline of some of our available services is included below:
- Teeth Whitening. This is one of the simplest and most cost-effective changes you can make. We offer both in-office procedures and customized take-home kits to brighten your grin at home.
- Dental bonding. This can be used to remedy chipped, cracked, misshapen, or slightly gapped teeth. You can generally expect mid-range rates and immediate results.
- Suresmile Aligners. If you have a mildly crooked or misaligned smile and don’t want to pay for traditional braces, you might benefit from this clear alternative. It is less expensive, and treatment can often be completed in about 12 months.
- These tend to cost more upfront but can instantly transform your smile. These prosthetics can mask one or several imperfections simultaneously and can last 15+ years.
- Smile Makeover. If there are multiple ways you want to enhance your appearance, a smile makeover combines all the treatments necessary to reach your goals.
Is Cosmetic Dentistry an Investment Worth Making?
Making cosmetic improvements to your smile can involve a great personal investment, and many patients wonder whether the results will be worth the price they pay. However, flawed teeth can leave you feeling self-conscious, which can detract from your daily quality of life. Studies have shown that people with dental problems are more likely to feel anxious and depressed or avoid social interactions. If you’re overly self-conscious about the state of your smile, you might miss out on exciting or beneficial opportunities.
Perfecting your smile can boost your confidence and increase your chances of success, which more than makes up for the cost.
How to Make Cosmetic Dentistry Affordable
We believe that everyone deserves to have the perfectly beautiful smile they’ve always dreamed of, and we don’t want your budget to keep you from achieving your goals. You may not be able to count on your dental insurance plans to cover the cost of your treatments, but that doesn’t mean you’re out of luck!
We’ve partnered with CareCredit, a third-party financing company that allows you to break down your total invoice into more manageable installments if your application is approved. That way, you can move forward with your desired services without worrying that your wallet will suffer.

Is Cosmetic Dentistry Expensive?
The cost of cosmetic dentistry varies widely depending on the specific procedures you choose and the complexity of your case. While some treatments like teeth whitening are relatively affordable, others, like veneers or full smile makeovers, can be more costly.
However, our practice offers CareCredit financing to make these treatments more accessible for everyone. While dental insurance rarely covers cosmetic treatments, investing in your smile can provide long-lasting benefits that can make it all worth it! From an improved appearance to boosted self-esteem and quality of life, cosmetic dentistry is an investment that keeps paying dividends.
What Causes the Discoloration of a Tooth?
Tooth discoloration can be caused by a variety of things, including food and drinks (like coffee, tea, and red wine), tobacco use, poor oral hygiene, and the natural aging process. Additionally, some medications and medical treatments can also lead to discoloration.
Staining can be extrinsic, affecting the outer enamel of the tooth, or intrinsic, where it moves deeper into the structure. Our team can help find the cause of your discoloration and recommend the most effective treatment to restore your smile's brightness. Our ZOOM! teeth whitening treatments use concentrated chemical agents like hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide to break up decades of discoloration in just one sitting! Or, if you’d prefer, you can get a take-home kit and brighten your smile at your own pace over a few weeks.
How Can Cosmetic Dentistry Improve My Oral Heath?
Cosmetic dentistry can do more than just enhance your smile; it can also improve your oral health! For example, treatments like dental crowns or bonding can repair cracked or chipped teeth, protecting them from further damage and preventing bacteria from entering them.
Orthodontic treatments like SureSmile not only straighten your teeth but also make them easier to clean, reducing the risk of gum disease and cavities. If you’re missing teeth, replacing them with implants can prevent bone loss and strengthen your facial structure. Overall, cosmetic dentistry combines aesthetics with function, leading to a healthier, more attractive smile!
