Invisalign Clear Aligners
Many people want to straighten their teeth but aren’t looking forward to wearing braces to do it. Luckily, mild to moderate cases of misaligned teeth can often be corrected with Invisalign clear aligners. These oral appliances are made out of a see-through plastic material so that you can straighten your teeth discreetly. Thanks to Invisalign in Allen, you will be able to continue to show off your smile even while you’re in the middle of your orthodontic treatment.

Teeth Whitening
Even brushing consistently every day isn’t always enough to keep tooth stains at bay. Luckily, with professional teeth whitening, it’s possible to remove even particularly stubborn discolored spots from your teeth. Both in-practice and at-home whitening treatments involve a powerful bleaching gel that can penetrate your enamel and remove the particles that cause stains at their source. In-practice whitening can be completed in as little as an hour, while at-home whitening can take up about two weeks to get results.

Veneers
Are you thinking that the gap in your grin, the crack on your front tooth, and the enamel stain that has always bothered you will need three different kinds of treatment? Thanks to dental veneers in Allen, we can address all of them over the course of just two appointments. Each veneer is placed over the front of your teeth in order to completely hide any imperfections, thus making it possible to correct a variety of cosmetic issues with a single treatment.
Metal-Free Dental Restorations
While traditionally crowns are made out of gold and other metals, our practice also offer EMAX and zirconia restorations. These crowns are far more lifelike in appearance, and they can be shaded to match the color of your other teeth so that most people won’t even be able to tell that you needed dental work done at all. Tooth-colored materials are still highly durable, so you can safely expect your new crown to last over a decade with the right care.
Direct Bonding
Direct bonding is something of a “quick fix” for smiles that only have one or two small imperfections that need to be addressed. We can cover up small chips, stains, and other flaws with composite resin, the same kind of material that we use to make tooth-colored fillings. Just like veneers and metal-free crowns, composite resin can be shaded in order to blend in with the rest of your tooth. Unlike those other treatments, thought, direct bonding can be completed in as little as one appointment so that you can start enjoying your new, improved smile much sooner.
Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs
Dr. Ahn and our team are ready to help you achieve your ideal smile! Before you book your consultation, though, you may be eager to learn more about the road ahead. To help you find important information, we have compiled a list of answers to some FAQs about cosmetic dentistry. If your specific questions are not addressed here, feel free to give us a call — we will be pleased to speak with you!
Is Cosmetic Dentistry Expensive?
Cosmetic dental treatments come at a range of price points. A professional take-home whitening kit may cost as little as a few hundred dollars, whereas a full set of veneers can run tens of thousands of dollars.
When you visit us for your consultation, let us know if you have budgetary concerns. We will do our best to design a treatment plan that is within your means. We also work with CareCredit to provide low-interest financing.
Also, keep in mind that cosmetic dentistry can be a worthwhile investment. It might even help you in your career, so in a sense, it could end up paying for itself!
How Do I Know If I Need Cosmetic Dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry is able to help almost anyone who does not feel confident about the way their smile looks. It can address numerous aesthetic imperfections, including:
- Chipped teeth
- Crooked teeth
- Asymmetrical teeth
- Dental discoloration
- And more!
If you are unsure of whether cosmetic dentistry is right for you, simply come in for a consultation. We can give you an honest, expert opinion on how you can enjoy a smile that is both healthy and attractive.
How Long Does Cosmetic Dentistry Last?
How long your results will last depends on which treatment you undergo and how you care for your mouth. For example, teeth whitening may last anywhere from several months to a couple of years before retreatment is necessary. Veneers can endure for 10 – 15 years or longer. If you have a thorough oral hygiene routine, eat a reasonable diet, and take other simple precautions, you may rightly expect your smile to stay looking good for as long as possible.
Does Cosmetic Dentistry Hurt?
Patient comfort is important to us, so we always take measures to make the cosmetic treatment process as easy as possible. For example, we may numb your mouth for certain procedures, and we strive to minimize the sensitivity that is often associated with teeth whitening and other treatments.
With that being said, you might experience mild to moderate discomfort after certain services. Most people are feeling normal within a few days to a few weeks following their treatment. Our team will give you tips to minimize any unpleasantness during your recovery.
