Cosmetic Dentistry

The exact cost of a smile makeover is entirely dependent on the treatments and restorations included. Each of these has their own cost. Since a smile makeover typically includes more than one treatment, the cost depends on the combination.

For almost everyone who is missing one or more teeth, a dental implant will be a good idea.

There is no such thing as an objectively “perfect” smile. Each person has their own idea of perfection and what it looks like. Austin cosmetic dentist Dr. John Schmid has worked with many patients over the years, helping them to achieve a beautiful and healthy smile that is as close to perfection as possible.

Missing teeth can cause many problems in both the long and short term. While there are different solutions available for missing teeth, in general dental implants are considered the best choice. This is because dental implants are the only option available that replace the vital tooth root.

Many men and women would like to improve their smile with cosmetic dentistry, but they may be worried about how to pay for treatment. Dental insurance plans rarely cover cosmetic procedures, and depending on the extent of work you need, you may be facing high out of pocket costs.

If you are missing teeth, you have a few different options available to you. If you are missing most of your teeth, it might make sense to get dentures. If you are only missing one or a few, though, a dental bridge or a dental implant are most likely your best options.

Two common dental treatments are porcelain crowns and porcelain veneers. These treatments are similar in that they both involve covering your real tooth with dental porcelain, but the circumstances in which you'd need one or the other are different.

If you have teeth that are crooked, gapped, crowded, or otherwise misaligned, you may have thought about braces.

Restorative dentistry involves restoring a damaged or missing tooth to improve oral health and quality of smile. It may be purely cosmetic, or it may be necessary for your oral hygiene and health. There are many procedures that fall under the restorative dentistry umbrella, and Dr. Schmid can tell you if you need any of them.
