Frequently Asked Questions About Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry choices can feel overwhelming, especially when you are weighing cost, longevity, and how natural the result will look. The questions below cover what most patients ask before veneers, whitening, bonding, or a full smile makeover, so you can move forward with confidence
Questions About Cosmetic Dentistry?Porcelain veneer pricing depends on how many teeth are treated, the materials selected, and your specific case. Most patients in Indianapolis invest between roughly $1,000 and $2,500 per tooth. We provide exact pricing during your free consultation, along with financing options.
Porcelain veneers typically last 10 to 15 years with good oral hygiene and routine dental visits. Avoiding hard foods, nail biting, and teeth grinding extends their lifespan. We discuss long-term care during your consultation.
Most insurance plans do not cover purely cosmetic procedures like whitening or veneers placed for appearance only. However, restorative work that improves both function and appearance, like crowns or bonding on damaged teeth, may be partially covered. We verify your benefits before treatment.
Veneers are thin porcelain shells custom-made in a lab and bonded to the front of teeth, lasting 10 to 15 years. Cosmetic bonding uses tooth-colored resin shaped chairside in one visit, costing less but lasting 4 to 8 years.
Yes. Professional teeth whitening performed by a dentist is safe for healthy teeth and gums. We use controlled concentrations of whitening gel and protect your gums during in-office sessions. Some patients experience temporary sensitivity that resolves within a few days.
A smile makeover timeline depends on which treatments are involved. Simple makeovers using whitening and bonding can be completed in 1 to 2 visits. Plans involving multiple veneers typically take 3 to 6 weeks from consultation to final result.
Veneers are considered a permanent commitment because a small amount of enamel is removed to place them. While veneers can last 10 to 15 years or longer, they will eventually need replacement. The underlying tooth structure cannot return to its original state.
Yes. We offer financing through Cherry, Sunbit, and CareCredit, with most patients approved quickly. We also offer Global360, our in-house membership plan, for patients without insurance who want discounted rates on cosmetic and restorative care.
Cosmetic bonding is one of the most comfortable cosmetic treatments and usually requires no anesthesia. The tooth surface is gently roughened to help the resin adhere, then shaped and polished. Most patients feel only light pressure during the visit.
Professional whitening can lift teeth several shades brighter than at-home strips, often 4 to 8 shades depending on starting color and stain type. Results vary based on enamel thickness, age, and lifestyle habits like coffee or red wine.
Yes. Cosmetic Botox can relax the muscles that pull the upper lip too high when smiling, reducing the appearance of a gummy smile. Results typically last 3 to 4 months and require touch-ups to maintain. Severe cases may need gum contouring instead.
Yes. Global Smiles Dental serves patients across South Indianapolis, Greenwood, Southport, Franklin Township, and surrounding areas. Our office is located at 8028 S. Emerson Ave. with easy access from I-65 and Stop 11.
