Cosmetic Dentistry in Santa Clarita, California

Frequently Asked Questions About Cosmetic Dentistry

What is the difference between cosmetic and general dentistry?

General dentistry protects oral health through prevention and repair. Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving appearance—often using conservative methods that also support long-term function.

Will my results look natural?

Yes. We plan color, shape, and proportions with digital previews and careful shade matching so enhancements blend with your features and facial symmetry.

How long do veneers last?

Porcelain veneers often last 10–15 years or longer with good home care, routine checkups, and a night guard if you clench or grind.

Is professional whitening better than store kits?

Professional systems are safer and more effective. They use controlled gels and custom trays or in-office protocols for faster, more even results.

Are clear aligners as effective as braces?

For many mild to moderate crowding or spacing cases, yes. We’ll evaluate your bite to confirm whether aligners or another approach will work best.

Does cosmetic treatment hurt?

Most procedures are minimally invasive and performed with local anesthesia when needed. We prioritize comfort at every step.

How long will treatment take?

Whitening can be completed in a single visit or a couple of weeks at home. Bonding is typically same-day. Veneers often take two visits. Clear aligners usually take several months.

Will insurance cover cosmetic dentistry?

Purely cosmetic procedures are usually not covered. If a service also restores function, partial benefits may apply. We will review your coverage and provide a clear estimate.

What does cosmetic dentistry cost?

Fees vary by procedure and case complexity. We provide written options and offer financing through CareCredit, Sunbit, Proceed Finance, Cherry, and Alphaeon Credit.
