- Lifelike Dental Ceramics
- Customized Care With Dazzling Results
Veneers
With dental veneers, we hide all of your smile’s faults at once. It amounts to placing ultra-thin ceramic shells on the fronts of your teeth. These veneers will then hide tooth stains, chips, cracks, and even crooked or undersized teeth. Such results come from a placement process that takes two dental visits. For the first one, we’ll review your smile goals and create a treatment plan well-suited to you.
Metal-Free Dental Crowns
A metallic dental crown protects your tooth at the cost of its appearance. In light of that fact, our dental office carries metal-free crowns instead. These ceramic, tooth-colored caps are durable enough to defend teeth and blend in with your smile. They won’t force you to choose between a pretty smile and a (relatively) healthy one. To that extent, you won’t have to worry about your crown drawing unwanted attention.
Cosmetic Dental Bonding
You don’t need to go overboard to treat minor smile flaws at an inexpensive price. If any of your teeth develop mild faults, you can opt for a cosmetic dental bonding procedure. This option sets tooth-colored resin on the affected areas, hiding chips, stains, and more from view. The resin is then shaped and molded to ensure it blends with its surroundings. From there, your results can last years if you stick to good oral care.
KoR® Teeth Whitening
Do you want to get whiter teeth in a more leisurely way? In that case, you should consider Casper Family Dentistry of Dallas’s Kor teeth whitening. It provides you with two take-home trays that can brighten your smile in only two weeks. Since the trays are custom-fitted to your mouth, they ensure all of your enamel gets its stains removed. As a bonus, this whitening method doesn’t use hot lamps or lights; it’s unlikely to cause any tooth sensitivity.
Understanding the Cost of Cosmetic Dentistry
Most dental insurance policies don’t include cosmetic services, so it’s natural to wonder how much they cost. If you’re concerned about affording your desired treatment, rest assured that our team at Casper Family Dentistry of Dallas believes everyone deserves a picture-perfect smile regardless of their budget. That’s why we offer various services at differing prices, so you can find one that works for your wallet.

Which Cosmetic Dental Service is Right for Me?
Before choosing any elective treatment, you must schedule a consultation appointment with Dr. Kingsberg. He’ll take the time to listen to your smile goals and concerns and examine your mouth to ensure that no pre-existing issues will interfere with the intended results. Then, he can recommend an appropriate solution based on his findings, such as:
- Kor Teeth Whitening- We offer take-home kits that includes a professional-grade gel along with custom-fitted application trays for optimal results from the comfort of your living room. This is one of the least expensive upgrades to your grin, and the results can last anywhere from six months to three years.
- Veneers- These tend to be pricier than other options but can hide one or several aesthetic flaws like stains, chips, cracks, or misaligned teeth simultaneously.
- Cosmetic Dental Bonding- Our team can apply color-matched composite resin directly to your teeth to mend small breaks, blemishes, discoloration, or misshapen teeth.
- Metal-free Dental Crowns- We can replace your amalgam restoration with one made of tooth-colored materials that are matched to your natural teeth for a seamless smile.
Is Cosmetic Dentistry an Investment Worth Making?
Many patients wonder whether their desired upgrade is worth the personal cost of time and resources. However, if you’re self-conscious about your dental condition, you’re statistically more likely to feel anxious, depressed, or less willing to interact with others socially. Upgrading your grin can boost your confidence. This, in turn, leads to more meaningful relationships, a more active social life, better professional opportunities, and an increased overall quality of life.
How to Make Cosmetic Dentistry Affordable
We understand that many patients can’t afford expensive procedures out of pocket, but we also don’t want your finances to keep you from having your most beautiful, healthy smile. That’s why we offer the following options to help you manage the cost of your desired procedures:
- Flexible Financing- We’ve partnered with CareCredit to allow you to break up your total invoice into smaller monthly installments if your application is approved.
- In-house Dental Plan- For one annual fee, you can receive free or discounted services without worrying about deductibles or yearly maximums like with traditional insurance.
- CHIP/Medicaid- We gladly accept coverage through public health programs like Medicaid and Chip.
Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs
Is Cosmetic Dentistry Expensive?
Cosmetic dentistry is often seen as expensive, but that’s not always the case. Its reputation for being costly comes from the fact that dental insurance rarely covers cosmetic procedures, meaning you may have to cover some expenses out of pocket. Fortunately, we offer additional financing options to help you stay within your budget. For example, CareCredit financing allows you to split up the total cost of your care into smaller monthly installments.
It’s important to remember that the value of these treatments goes beyond the initial cost. Investing in your smile can boost your self-esteem, confidence, and overall quality of life. In fact, having an attractive smile might even improve job opportunities, potentially making the treatment pay for itself in the long run!
Does Cosmetic Dentistry Hurt?
Don’t worry – cosmetic dentistry is not generally considered painful! Most cosmetic procedures, such as teeth whitening and bonding, are non-invasive and typically don't require anesthetic. For more involved treatments, like veneers, Dr. Kingsberg will numb the area beforehand to ensure comfort during the procedure. If needed, he can also ease your nerves with nitrous oxide sedation.
While some mild soreness or sensitivity might occur after certain treatments, it is usually temporary and resolves in a few days. We’ll do our best to make the entire process as comfortable as possible, helping patients achieve their smile goals with minimal pain.
Why Is Cosmetic Dentistry So Popular?
In the past, dental care focused primarily on treating and preventing oral health issues. However, with modern advancements in dental techniques and technology, more people now have healthy teeth, allowing them to focus on enhancing their smile’s appearance. What was once a luxury for the wealthy or famous is now more accessible and affordable, especially with flexible financing options and special offers.
Additionally, the rise of social media means people are taking more photos, leading to a desire for picture-perfect smiles. An attractive grin can also boost self-confidence and even improve career prospects, as studies suggest that attractive teeth make individuals appear more trustworthy, likable, and healthy.
What Is the Difference Between a Dentist and a Cosmetic Dentist?
A dentist and a cosmetic dentist both have the same foundational training and hold either a DMD or DDS degree. However, the key difference lies in their focus. General dentists primarily perform treatments aimed at maintaining or restoring the health of your teeth, such as fillings, exams, and crowns.
Cosmetic dentists, while also trained in these basic services, have additional education and practice to enhance the appearance of your smile. Although cosmetic dentistry isn’t considered a formal specialty like orthodontics or pediatric dentistry, cosmetic dentists often develop an artistic touch, aiming to improve the aesthetics of your smile. They specialize in procedures like teeth whitening, veneers, and bonding to give your smile a more polished and attractive look.
