Porcelain Veneers
If you’ve ever watched a movie or TV and thought, “How are their teeth that perfect?!” you were most likely looking at porcelain veneers. For this treatment, extremely thin ceramic shells are fitted over the front of the teeth, enabling a patient to change their shape, size, and color to whatever they want. In just two appointments, veneers can fix a wide array of imperfections at the same time, including stubborn stains, dental damage, and even noticeable gaps.

Metal-Free Restorations
Metal-free restorations are made of high-quality dental porcelain, and they enable our team to recreate the look and strength of natural enamel perfectly. Using this material, we can fully repair a tooth and bring back its original appearance at the same time, which is ideal for damaged teeth that show prominently in the smile. Even better, using same day crown technology, we can often provide a custom-made porcelain restoration in just one appointment!
Teeth Whitening
In the world of teeth whitening, there is KOR Deep Bleaching, and then there is every other treatment. KOR uses a unique approach and high-quality ingredients that are able to remove many kinds of dental stains that other gels and strips leave behind. In addition to eliminating coffee, wine, tea, and tobacco stains, KOR can also tackle discoloration due to certain medications (specifically tetracycline). If you’re looking to get the kind of smile that always lights up the room, KOR is your answer.

Gum Recontouring
The Experienced cosmetic dentists at Beach Dental use laser dentistry technology to reshape gum tissue, with the ultimate purpose of giving you a great smile. Many of our gum lift patients seek out cosmetic dentistry because they are unhappy with the following:
- Teeth that appear too short
- Excessive, or bulging, gum tissue around teeth
- Uneven gum line
- Excessive gum tissue that appears when smiling
White Spot Treatment
Although having bright, white teeth is the ultimate goal for most patients, little white spots on your teeth can draw the wrong kind of attention and even be a sign of tooth decay. Whether you got them from traditional braces years ago, or they’re a recent development, we can remove these distracting white spots from your teeth with Icon resin infiltration, which can help your teeth look more uniform and healthy.

Understanding the Cost of Cosmetic Dentistry
Before you move forward with any treatment, you should be aware of the price tag associated with it. At Beach Dental, we are completely transparent about cost, but because we customize every treatment to your individual smile’s needs, we cannot give general estimates or ranges for the cost of cosmetic dentistry. However, after we’ve examined your smile and talked with you about your goals, we can put together a treatment plan and share a specific price.
Which Cosmetic Dental Service is Right for Me?
Because cosmetic dentistry may involve many types of procedures, the price can range from relatively little to a more serious investment. Although we cannot share actual numbers—because they can vary from patient to patient—we can discuss treatments in general principles until you come in for your consultation.
- Teeth whitening tends to be the least expensive treatment for improving your smile’s appearance.
- The cost of gum recontouring and white spot treatment is impacted by the fact that we use special technology and techniques that few other practices have. In fact, it can be difficult to find another one in the area that even offers these services!
- Veneers are usually one of the more expensive cosmetic procedures, but they also typically last the longest.
Cosmetic Dentistry Can Be Worth the Investment
At first, you may second guess spending time and money on a cosmetic improvement; however, the benefits of having a confident, radiant smile sometimes cannot be quantified. In other words, a grin you are proud of can be priceless. It can help you feel more self-assured and boost your self-esteem, which in social and professional settings could open doors to new experiences and opportunities like a new relationship or job. Studies have found repeatedly that people view those with an attractive smile as more successful, more trustworthy, and friendlier than those without one. Although other factors certainly come into play, a smile could help you achieve your goals and have a happier quality of life.
How to Make Cosmetic Dentistry Affordable
At Beach Dental, we believe obtaining a beautiful smile doesn’t have to derail your finances. In fact, we think you shouldn’t even be charged to find out if you’re a good candidate and what treatment would be best for you. If you are interested in simply learning more, we currently are offering a complimentary cosmetic consultation. Should you decide to move forward with treatment, you may not need to pay the entire cost upfront. Through third-party financing, you can pay the total through lower monthly installments, making it easier to afford perfecting your smile.
Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs
Perhaps the idea of correcting flaws in your smile seems overwhelming or complicated, but our team makes it easy for you. If you have questions about the process, don’t hesitate to ask your cosmetic dentist in Westhampton during your appointment. We are happy to clarify any confusion and answer your questions so that you can make the best decision. Attaining a more radiant, confident smile is possible!
Am I a Good Candidate for Cosmetic Dental Work?
Before we can move forward with teeth whitening, veneers, or other cosmetic procedures, you must meet one requirement, which is straightforward and simple: you need to have a healthy mouth. This means you cannot have cavities, gum disease, or any other oral problem. If you do, we’ll need to resolve this health issue first. After your smile has become infection and decay free, we can shift our attention back to your appearance.
Does Cosmetic Dentistry Hurt?
Not at all. For veneers or crowns, a little enamel must be removed to allow space for the restorations, but we’ll numb the area first using the Wand, a device that makes anesthetic injections completely pain free. When we recontour the gumline, we take advantage of a soft tissue laser, which reduces discomfort significantly. In some cases, you may experience mild tooth sensitivity after your visit, but this symptom usually fades within a day or two.
How Long Will Treatment Take?
Some treatments, like white spot treatment or gum recontouring, can be done in just one appointment! In other cases, however, perfecting a smile requires more time. You may need to plan on your treatment taking at least a couple of weeks to complete. For instance, teeth whitening involves treatment at home for two weeks followed by a brief appointment in the office. For veneers or metal-free restorations, the dental lab custom crafts these products to look as realistic as possible in a couple of weeks. To know the timeline in your case, just ask us during your consultation.
How Long Will My Results Last?
In a perfect world, your gorgeous, pristine smile would stay that way forever. Unfortunately, wear and tear, staining, and more can eventually set in. Depending on which treatment you receive and how well you take care of your teeth, you can expect your smile to continue looking great for as little as a couple of years to as long as multiple decades. When we meet to discuss your needs and goals, we can talk about how long the effects can potentially last and ways to extend this timeframe.
