Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers offer one of the easiest ways to improve a single tooth or completely transform your smile. This procedure involves placing extremely thin ceramic shells over the teeth that act as masks to dramatically enhance their strength and appearance at the same time. They are always custom-made based on a patient’s needs and preferences, and you can get your own in just two easy appointments. From there, you can look forward to them lasting for about 20 years.
Metal-Free Dental Restorations
Modern day dental materials now mean that patients with damaged teeth don’t have to choose between a solution that’s either strong or beautiful—you can now have both thanks to metal-free restorations! These porcelain crowns and bridges can be shaded to match any patient’s enamel color and shaped to seamlessly blend with the other teeth. Once one is in place, only you and your dentist will know which teeth aren’t your own!
Dental Bonding
If you’re simply looking to spruce up your smile and take care of one little problem that has bothered you for years, cosmetic bonding is the quick and easy solution you need. With it, Dr. Patel can make minor chips, gaps, and stains disappear in just one appointment. They’ll simply apply a color-matched composite resin to the offending tooth and shape it to look like perfectly healthy enamel. In as little as an hour, it will seem like the problem was never there in the first place.

Zoom! Teeth Whitening
Even people who brush and floss every day can develop dental stains as the years go by. Things like coffee, wine, and tobacco can seep deep below the enamel and create discoloration that your whitening toothpaste simply can’t tackle. However, with Zoom! teeth whitening, we can make those stains go away in as little as an hour. Both our in-office and take-home treatments use a highly concentrated bleaching gel that breaks the stains so the natural whiteness of your smile can easily shine through. This one treatment can make your teeth up to eight shades brighter!

Gum Recontouring / Crown Lengthening
The perfect smile shows just the right proportion of teeth, lips, and gums, but for some patients, their overly prominent gum line causes their teeth to look too short and stubby for their face. A soft tissue laser enables Dr. Patel to correct this problem in just a few minutes. With it, they can precisely and painlessly remove any excess gum tissue to reveal previously hidden enamel, helping the teeth appear longer and the smile more balanced.
Snap On Smile
If you want to enhance the way your smile looks without actually altering your natural teeth, Snap On Smile may be the perfect solution for you. With this, a custom-made prosthetic that looks like pristine white teeth is made for a patient, and it simply snaps into place over their teeth. They are made using high-quality plastic, meaning a patient will be able to eat, speak, and smile with complete confidence while wearing one. They are easily removable so a patient can brush their teeth like normal, and they can take care of a wide variety of smile imperfections at the same time.
Understanding the Cost of Cosmetic Dentistry
Many patients assume that cosmetic dental work must be expensive, but the team at Neosmile Dental Care offers an impressive variety of effective procedures at a range of price points. While it’s unlikely that you will receive insurance coverage for an elective cosmetic procedure, we’ll be happy to work with you so you can find an appropriate treatment to address your concerns while remaining well within your budget. Here’s a quick look at how cosmetic dental treatments are priced at our office in Ambler, but please feel free to contact our staff if you have any questions or would like to schedule an appointment.
Which Cosmetic Dental Service Is Right for Me?
Most people who are interested in cosmetic dentistry wish to address frustrating aesthetic defects by whitening, straightening, or reshaping their teeth. At Neosmile Dental Care, we offer effective cosmetic procedures such as:
- Porcelain veneers: This treatment is a more costly option, but it can completely transform a smile by addressing several dental defects at once.
- Metal-free dental restorations: These devices are similar in price and function to veneers, but they are typically used to treat the teeth in the back of the mouth.
- Dental bonding: This treatment can be an affordable, noninvasive, and painless way to address mild dental cracks, chips, stains, and gaps.
- Zoom! Teeth Whitening: This procedure is mid-range in terms of cost and can reliably lift stubborn dental stains and leave a smile up to eight shades whiter.
- Gum recontouring/crown lengthening: The cost of this treatment can vary depending on the patient’s needs.
- Snap On Smile: This device can be rather costly, but it makes it easy to present a pristine smile using a comfortable and removal appliance that fits over the patient’s natural teeth.
Cosmetic Dentistry Can Be an Investment Worth Making
Cosmetic dental work may seem like a big commitment of time and finances at first, but it can be an investment that pays dividends over time by opening up a wide range of social and professional opportunities. Having a smile you’re proud to show off can help you meet people, build rapport, win trust, make friends, and close sales, which can make it easier to engage socially and succeed at work. Cosmetic dentistry may even help you stand out from the competition when being considered for a new job or a juicy promotion.
How to Make Cosmetic Dentistry Affordable
We understand that many patients may be concerned about the cost of cosmetic dentistry, and we’re eager to help everyone in Ambler achieve the smile of their dreams. To that end, we offer several options that can make cosmetic treatment more affordable, including:
- Flexible financing: We partner with CareCredit and Cherry so we can set our patients up with payment plans that can break their dental bills into small monthly payments that are easy to manage.
- Our in-office savings plan: For a low annual fee of $299 a year, you can have your routine oral care covered and receive a 20% discount on our restorative and cosmetic services.
- Our FREE Zoom! Teeth Whitening consultation special.
The staff at our Ambler office will be happy to help you navigate your payment and financing options during your consultation, and we’ll be sure to go over your insurance policy to check if it can provide any coverage.
Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs
Is Cosmetic Dentistry Expensive?
It is not uncommon for people to associate cosmetic dentistry with expensive treatments, but that doesn’t necessarily have to be the case. Its costly reputation likely stems from the fact that dental insurance rarely covers purely aesthetic treatments, so you’ll probably have to pay for them out of pocket.
Although improving your smile may seem pricey at first, it is important to consider the investment you’re making in your self-esteem, confidence, and quality of life. In fact, an attractive smile could even lead to better job opportunities, so your smile makeover may eventually pay for itself!
Is Cosmetic Dentistry Covered by Insurance?
In most cases dental insurance will not cover elective procedures, and most cosmetic treatments fall under this category. However, there are sometimes exceptions if the treatment also provides oral health benefits. In these cases, between 50% and 80% of the cost is typically covered, but this will depend on your individual policy.
Our team is happy to help you understand your specific plan, file your paperwork, and maximize your dental insurance benefits on your behalf.
Does Cosmetic Dentistry Hurt?
Even patients who are eager to get cosmetic dentistry can be concerned about their procedure being painful. Your cosmetic dentist in Ambler knows this, which is why we work so hard to make your treatment experience as comfortable as possible.
Thankfully, most cosmetic dental treatments are non-invasive. For example, whitening and bonding shouldn’t even require a local anesthetic, while your dentist will numb your mouth before treatments like veneers.
You may experience some residual soreness or sensitivity in the days following your cosmetic treatment; however, this should be mild and temporary. We also offer sedation dentistry options for those patients who are anxious or afraid.
Is Cosmetic Dentistry Safe?
Yes, as long as you’re under the care of a trained professional, most cosmetic dentistry treatments are perfectly safe for most patients. However, this is why it is so important for your dentist to examine your mouth beforehand. Some treatments may pose a risk if an underlying oral health problem is present. Thankfully, your dentist can treat this issue first before starting a procedure.
Some over-the-counter teeth whitening products are made from inferior ingredients and could potentially damage your tooth enamel or irritate your gums, but professional whitening from your dentist uses quality ingredients that are clinically proven to be safe for your smile.
