Here are a few common but untrue myths about this aesthetic branch of oral health that could be preventing you from getting the smile of your dreams!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Myth #1: Cosmetic Dentistry is Extremely Expensive<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The idea that cosmetic dentistry is expensive is likely because in many cases it is not covered by dental insurance. Thus, most treatments will need to be paid out-of-pocket. Thankfully, many dentists welcome <a href=\"https:\/\/www.texasdentistrykaufman.com\/for-patients.html#insurance\">flexible financing plans<\/a> to make cosmetic dentistry treatments more affordable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Myth #2: Cosmetic Dentistry Damages Your Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For some treatments like veneers, your dentist will need to remove a small amount of enamel from each tooth. Although this means that your teeth will always need either a veneer or a crown moving forward, the reshaping itself will not damage it, and as long as it\u2019s protected, it should not be any more prone to cavities than your untreated teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Myth #3: Cosmetic Dentistry Treatment Takes Too Long<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>People are sometimes dissuaded from trying cosmetic dentistry treatments because they \u201ctake too long\u201d to complete. Although it\u2019s true that you will need a consultation appointment before any work can begin, the good news is that most procedures can be done in just one or two visits. For veneers, you\u2019ll likely need to return twice, but for other treatments like cosmetic bonding, teeth whitening, and even gum recontouring, the entire process can usually be done in just a single office visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Myth #4: Cosmetic Dentistry Looks \u201cFake\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While it\u2019s true that crowns and veneers in decades past have sometimes been very obvious due to their unnatural shade of white, today\u2019s restorations are made to look more realistic than ever before. In fact, you can even customize the shade of your new smile before it\u2019s in place, so you have complete control, every step of the way and needn\u2019t worry about it looking fake or obvious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, although there\u2019s plenty of dangerous rumors out there about cosmetic dentistry, the truth is that this incredible, aesthetic branch of oral healthcare is nothing to be afraid of. In fact, it can often be one of the best decisions you\u2019ll ever make for your smile and your self-esteem!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About Our Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.texasdentistrykaufman.com\/meet-your-dentists.html\">Texas Dentistry and Braces<\/a>, we are proud to offer a variety of cosmetic dentistry treatments that give you the smile you deserve.
