Cosmetic Dentistry – Jefferson, OH
Get the Confident, Beautiful Smile You Have Been Wishing For
Your smile is the first trait that most people notice about you. It helps communicate your mood and demeanor before you have a chance to utter a single word. However, many people choose to hide their smiles due to the fact that they are damaged, misaligned, or cosmetically flawed in a different kind of way. Not only can this give people the wrong impression of you, but it can hinder your comfortability going in to any kind of social setting. Our team at Dental Group of Jefferson offers cosmetic dentistry in our Jefferson, OH dental office to help make your smile boost your confidence instead of diminish it.

Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are commonly referred to as a one-stop-shop cosmetic treatment because they can address a wide range of smile imperfections. Whether you have slight tooth misalignment, severe discoloration, or dental damage that you would like to have fixed, this permanent treatment can do it all. Using thin, durable sheaths of porcelain that fit over the visible surface of prepared teeth, we are able to conceal many types of flaws and reveal a complete, symmetrical, and beautiful grin in its place.
Metal-Free Dental Restorations
In the past, many dental restorations were made of metal, including cavity fillings and crowns. Today, we utilize materials that can be custom-shaded to match the appearance of surrounding teeth that are also safe for your teeth and gums. For fillings, we utilize composite resin, and for crowns and bridges, we use Emax porcelain and zirconia, which are both durable and look lifelike.
Dental Bonding
Direct bonding uses composite resin (the same material we use to fill cavities), to sculpt the missing portion of damaged or chipped teeth to restore its whole appearance. It can also be used to mask severe dental discoloration and even minimize the appearance of gaps between teeth. It’s an incredibly convenient and cost-effective way to repair imperfections that impact our self-confidence and protect your teeth from sustaining additional harm.
Invisalign
Do you have bite problems or misaligned or crowded teeth, but don’t want to commit to having metal brackets and wires in your mouth for a year or more? We offer customized and discreet Invisalign treatment, which utilizes clear aligners to gently and strategically address orthodontic issues. The average Invisalign treatment takes between six and 14 months and is custom tailored to fit your unique orthodontic needs.

Teeth Whitening
Dental discoloration can occur for a variety of reasons, including natural aging of the smile, taking certain prescriptions, poor oral hygiene, or consuming too many stain-causing foods and beverages. Store-bought treatments don’t always provide you with the effective and lasting results you’re looking for, and the ingredients used in them aren’t always safe for your mouth. We offer clinically proven and highly effective take home and in-office teeth whitening kits that can make your smile up to eight shades brighter.
DYSPORT (BOTOX®) for Smile Enhancement
DYSPORT is a highly effective treatment that comes in the form of injections to minimize the appearance of overworked facial muscles that have created wrinkles. Not only can this enhance your smile by providing it with a youthful-looking frame, but the treatment is fast and effective. Within as little as a 30-minute appointment (depending on how many injections you’d like), you’ll be able to enjoy results that can last for several months.
Smile Makeovers
For patients who have several cosmetic imperfections that they would like to address and aren’t sure where to start, we offer complete smile makeovers that are custom planned to fit your goals. During your consultation, we will get to learn more about what visions you have for your smile. Then, based on that, we will form a treatment timeline and walk you through the procedures that we would recommend to get you there.
Understanding the Cost of Cosmetic Dentistry
The cost of cosmetic dentistry depends on which services you undergo, as well as the extent of those services. During your consultation, our team will provide an estimate based on your unique circumstances. We can also help you understand your payment options, such as financing and our in-house discount plan.
Which Cosmetic Dental Service Is Right for Me?
If you choose to get cosmetic dentistry, you likely want to accomplish one or more of the following: whiter teeth, straighter teeth, or differently sized/shaped teeth. We offer several treatments that can help you reach those goals, and they come at a variety of price points:
- Dental bonding, also known as direct bonding, uses a tooth-colored resin to hide imperfections in teeth. It starts out at just a few hundred dollars per tooth.
- Teeth whitening uses a powerful formula to get rid of stains in teeth. It is one of the most affordable cosmetic services, starting out at a few hundred dollars.
- Veneers are thin sheaths, made of porcelain, that disguise flaws in teeth. They can cost quite a bit, but they are an excellent value because they last for many years and can address multiple imperfections at once.
- Invisalign uses clear aligners to correct dental misalignment. It usually costs at least a few thousand dollars, but it is an excellent choice for patients who wish to avoid having a smile full of unattractive brackets and wires.
- A smile makeover combines multiple cosmetic services. Although this is the most expensive option, it is also the most comprehensive and efficient way to totally transform your smile.
Is Cosmetic Dentistry Worth the Money?
During uncertain economic times, it is natural to wonder if cosmetic dentistry is really worth the money. Each individual must decide that for themselves. However, many people would say that yes, cosmetic dentistry is worth it for the following reasons:
- It can significantly increase your confidence.
- It can change the way others perceive you, making you appear successful, approachable, and youthful.
- It can motivate you to take excellent care of your teeth.
- A beautiful smile may give you an advantage in the workplace and in social situations.
How to Make Cosmetic Dentistry Affordable
Most cosmetic dental services are not covered by insurance. However, there may be exceptions for treatments that have aesthetic and oral health benefits, as is often the case with metal-free restorations. Our team welcomes insurance, and we can help you figure out how your benefits may apply.
Other provisions that might make it easier to afford cosmetic treatment include:
- We are partnered with CareCredit, a third-party lender that provides low-interest payment plans for medical and dental services. Applying is fast and easy, and most patients are quickly approved for a payment plan that works with their budget.
- Our in-house membership plan. In exchange for a reasonable fee, this plan covers preventive care and provides a 15% discount off additional services performed in our office, including cosmetic procedures! Signing up is easy, and you can start using your benefits right away.
