Cosmetic Dentistry Services in Lake Oswego, OR

How To Get The Smile You Want

Cosmetic dentistry is one of the most popular fields of dentistry, because a smile that looks its best will help you look and feel your best. Few patients have the smile they want, and as time goes by, it may become harder to achieve and maintain a smile you’re proud of. This is where cosmetic dentists like Dr. Larry Bowden of Aesthetic Dentistry of Lake Oswego come in to offer help in the form of cosmetic dentistry services.  

Keep reading to learn more about the cosmetic dental treatments available at our Lake Oswego, OR dental office and how you may benefit. 

What Is Cosmetic Dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry, also known as aesthetic dentistry, is focused on improving the aesthetics of your smile by restoring, repairing, and replacing lost, damaged, or discolored teeth. While cosmetic dental treatments are focused on aesthetics, they often cross over with services that directly benefit your oral health. 

Benefits of Cosmetic Dentistry

Once your smile is looking its best, you’ll likely look and feel more confident and attractive. In social situations, your smile will help people see you as friendly, and professional. Additionally, feeling good about the appearance of your teeth means you’re more likely to smile and laugh, resulting in some surprising health benefits. Smiling and laughing helps control pain, lowers stress, and boosts immunity.

Z-Look 3 Zirconia Dental Implants

Dental implants are considered the gold standard for smile restoration following tooth loss. Implant restorations look and function just like real teeth, complete with a post that mimics the root of a natural tooth. These life-like restorations can last a lifetime with proper care, and help prevent tooth loss-related health issues like jawbone resorption. Dr. Bowden offers zirconia implants, which integrate into the body better than titanium and offer a wide array of other holistic benefits.

How much do cosmetic dentistry services cost?

The cost of your cosmetic dentistry service will depend on numerous factors, including which treatment or treatments you undergo and your insurance coverage. It’s best to contact your provider beforehand to learn what benefits you’re entitled to. Rest assured that we’ll work with you to help you afford your cosmetic dentistry treatment. 

Are cosmetic dentistry services covered by insurance?

Dentistry services that are purely cosmetic tend to be passed over for coverage by most insurance providers. However, services that have direct oral health benefits, such as dental implants and Invisalign, may be at least partially covered. You should contact your insurance provider before any treatments take place and ask them which costs your plan may cover. 

If you need help covering the cost of your cosmetic treatment, Aesthetic Dentistry of Lake Oswego offers flexible financing options, including third-party financing through CareCredit.

What dental problems can cosmetic dentistry services solve?

Cosmetic dentistry services are designed to address problems that can make your smile look less appealing. Common flaws that cosmetic treatments can solve include:

  • Crooked Teeth
  • Cracks
  • Misshapen Teeth
  • Gaps
  • Discoloration
  • Missing Teeth
Are cosmetic dentistry services painful?

Some cosmetic dentistry treatments, such as teeth whitening, are virtually painless. If you experience pain during what should be a painless procedure, it may point to a problem that your cosmetic dentist can diagnose and treat at a later date. Your comfort is our top priority, so we use anesthetic as needed for more involved treatments such as implant placement.
