Veneers
Hollywood is full of people who have taken advantage of a treatment called porcelain veneers. These ceramic shells cover little flaws, including gaps between teeth, chips, discoloration, slight misalignment, and cosmetic cracks. Even if you have several imperfections in your smile, you may not have to undergo multiple treatments to get a perfect smile—just one. In only two appointments, you can have a strong, beautiful smile that lasts for decades.
Metal-Free Dental Restorations
Damage to your teeth can leave them vulnerable, weak, and more unappealing to look at, but fillings and crowns containing metals are certainly not aesthetically pleasing. Over time, these materials can expand and contract, weakening the tooth. Luckily, we offer solutions that are just as strong that don’t have any metal at all. With porcelain crowns or composite resin fillings, you don’t have to sacrifice appearance in order to restore your tooth to its former function and strength.
Cosmetic Dental Bonding
Did you know that the same material that is used in tooth-colored fillings can be used to correct aesthetic dental flaws? Composite resin can easily be applied to fill in gaps and chips and can hide discolored teeth just like veneers. However, cosmetic dental bonding can usually be completed within just one appointment and typically usually less expensive than veneers, putting your dream smile well within your reach.

Teeth Whitening
Whether you’re taking certain medications or you’ve just had a lot of coffee over the years, your teeth can appear more yellow or dull, affecting your confidence. Store-bought whitening options are convenient but only address surface stains with a one-size-fits-all tray. At Salmon Brook Dental, we offer a powerful take-home teeth whitening solution with custom trays made to give you even results. Although you’ll likely see improvement after just a couple of days, you can enjoy a smile up to eight shades brighter after about two weeks.

Gum Recontouring/Crown Lengthening
Gummy smiles are a common cosmetic concern that we address here at Salmon Brook Dental with crown lengthening, also called gum recontouring. Gum recontouring involves removing overgrown soft oral tissue from the gumline to create a more balanced, even smile. The process is generally pain-less, and the results are permanent, meaning no follow-up care will be necessary once you’ve healed.
Smile Makeovers
If you have more than one or two cosmetic or functional dental imperfections that you want to address, a complete smile makeover in Granby may be the best treatment approach for you. Our dentists will spend plenty of time with you to learn about your smile goals and put together a treatment plan that will include two or more of our restorative or cosmetic dentistry services to help you meet them.
Understanding the Cost of Cosmetic Dentistry
Many patients assume that their desired cosmetic procedures are out of their price range because most dental insurance policies don’t cover the cost of services intended to improve their appearance more than their oral health.
However, our Salmon Brook Dental team believes everyone deserves to have a beautiful, confident smile regardless of their finances. Continue reading to learn more about factors that can influence the cost of aesthetic upgrades, and please don’t hesitate to contact us for additional information.
Which Cosmetic Dental Service is Right for Me?
Many people wanting to address flaws, such as stubborn stains, mild misalignments, or unsightly chips and cracks, are unsure where to get started. Our team offers multiple solutions at various price points so you’re more likely to find options within your budget.
Once you’ve consulted our team and we know more about your unique concerns and goals, we might recommend one of the following enhancements:
- These thin, ceramic shells are customized and bonded to the fronts of your enamel to mask several concerns. They tend to cost more upfront than other treatments but can last 20+ years with the right care, making them an excellent long-term investment.
- Metal-Free Restorations. If you have outdated amalgam fillings or crowns detracting from your appearance or causing sensitivity, we can safely remove them and replace them with resilient, tooth-colored materials for seamless results.
- Dental Bonding. This involves applying color-matched composite resin to your enamel, then hardening it with a UV light for a durable repair that fixes many of the same issues as veneers at a fraction of the cost.
- Teeth Whitening. We provide customized take-home kits for optimal results from your living room, often for a few hundred dollars.
- Gum Recontouring/Crown Lengthening. If your grin looks overly gummy, we can remove excessive tissue with little to no pain or lengthen your crowns for a more even appearance.
- Smile Makeover. We’re happy to put together a treatment plan that includes as many cosmetic or restorative procedures as needed to completely remake your grin.
Is Cosmetic Dentistry Worth the Investment?
Many patients worry that by investing in cosmetic dental treatments, they must surely be sacrificing their oral health to improve their appearance. Fortunately, that’s not usually true!
For instance, did you know people with dental problems are more likely to develop anxiety, depression, or avoid spending time with others if they’re worried about being judged for their looks? That means upgrading your grin can have additional, unseen benefits. Your boosted confidence can contribute to advantages like better professional achievements, deeper relationships, and a busier social life.
How to Make Cosmetic Dentistry Affordable
You’re not alone if you’re worried about covering the cost of your desired procedures without the help of dental insurance. However, our Salmon Brook Dental team doesn’t want your budget to keep you from having the smile of your dreams.
That’s why we’ve partnered with CareCredit to offer flexible financial packages. If your application is approved, you can divide your final invoice into more manageable installments over a designated period that are easier on your wallet.
