Porcelain Veneers
When you want to completely transform your smile, porcelain veneers can be an effective solution. Veneers are very thin sheaths that are made from porcelain and bonded to the visible surface of your teeth. By covering the enamel this way, you can hide multiple dental flaws at once, including gaps, stains, chips, cracks, and misaligned teeth. Why have multiple cosmetic procedures done when veneers can make several corrections in one fell swoop?
A small amount of tooth structure needs to be removed during your first appointment. We can then take digital impressions that a dental laboratory can use to create veneers that have been customized just for you. You’ll need to wait a few weeks for the permanent veneers to be made, but in the meantime, we can place a temporary version that will help you get used to the overall look and feel. Once your permanent veneers are ready, we’ll get in touch with you to set up your second appointment, where we’ll make any necessary last-minute adjustments before cementing the veneers to the appropriate teeth.
Metal-Free Dental Restorations
Dental crowns, inlays, onlays, and other types of restorations can allow a damaged tooth to continue to function normally, but if they’re made of metal, they might draw unwanted attention. That’s why Advanced Dental Concepts offers all-ceramic restorations that are colored to match the rest of your teeth and create a natural-looking smile. As a side benefit, ceramic restorations are much safer for patients that have allergies or extreme sensitivity to the metals used in traditional dental work.
Teeth Whitening
Whether you want to look your best for an important upcoming event or are interested in enhancing your appearance to boost your confidence, you can potentially benefit from professional teeth whitening services. Our team at Advanced Dental Concepts has access to bleaching gels that are stronger than anything you’ll find over the counter. Plus, we provide both in-office treatments for instant results and take-home kits so that you can lighten your grin comfortably from your own home.

Gum Recontouring
Patients with a “gummy” smile might find that their teeth look too short or that there’s an excessive amount of gum tissue visible whenever they open their lips. In these cases, the issue lies with the gums rather than the teeth themselves. With gum recontouring, we remove a small amount of tissue to reshape the gum line in a way that reveals more of your healthy, dazzling teeth. In some cases, recontouring might be performed before you receive a dental bridge or a crown in order to ensure that there’s enough room for the restoration to receive the support it needs.
Dental Bonding
If you need a quick way to correct a relatively small cosmetic flaw, such as a thin gap or a shallow crack, direct bonding could be the answer. A tooth-colored resin like the kind used for fillings is placed on the desired area and sculpted in a way that enhances the appearance of the tooth. A special curing light is used to harden it in place once it has been properly shaped. Unlike veneers or crowns that require multiple appointments, direct bonding usually only takes one visit.
BOTOX®
Are you looking for the perfect enhancements to frame your beautiful smile? BOTOX in Chesterton is a fast, non-invasive, and cost-effective way to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles surrounding your smile. We also offer BOTOX injections for more functional purposes as well, like to ease pain caused by TMJ dysfunction. You can learn more about this treatment by clicking the link below.
Understanding the Cost of Cosmetic Dentistry
While cosmetic dentistry can sound nice, you may think it’s too big a financial risk. After all, dental insurance doesn’t usually cover its treatments; that alone makes the field look pricy. However, the cost of cosmetic dentistry varies and depends on the specific patient. To get a precise estimate, you’ll need to visit and consult our dentists for the details. Learn more by reading below, or call us in the coming days!
Which Cosmetic Dental Service is Right for Me?
People who get cosmetic dentistry often want one (or more) of three things: whiter teeth, straighter teeth, or differently-shaped teeth. That said, its procedures don’t all have the same prices and effects. You’ll want to compare them beforehand so your final care is cost-effective and meets your needs.
Advanced Dental Concepts offers aesthetic dental services like:
- Gum Recontouring – Gum recontouring is a cost-effective way to fix a gummy smile. For a moderate fee, it’ll remove your excess gum tissue to reveal more of your teeth.
- Dental Bonding – Thanks to its tooth-colored resin, dental bonding is ideal for hiding small smile flaws and making minor changes. This option is also the least expensive cosmetic dentistry, though it usually only lasts a few years.
- Teeth Whitening – Teeth whitening is pretty fast and effective, so it’s great for patients who want a bright smile quickly. Still, note that it’s mid-range in terms of cost and doesn’t affect tooth shape or position.
- BOTOX® – Our BOTOX treatment can quickly remove the wrinkles around your eyes and mouth. By paying a few hundred dollars, you’ll get such results for three to four months.
- Porcelain Veneers – While veneers are one of the costlier choices, they can greatly transform your smile and last for over a decade. Such features make them an excellent investment!
Cosmetic Dentistry is a Priceless Investment
Even if cosmetic dentistry feels like a big commitment, its treatments tend to pay off over time. It should offer plenty of perks as the years go by.
Keep in mind that a gorgeous grin will boost your confidence and self-esteem. To that extent, it’d lead to better relationships, a great social life, and even top-tier career success. Such things would raise your overall quality of life by leaps and bounds!
How to Make Cosmetic Dentistry Affordable
Though cosmetic dentistry isn’t covered by dental insurance, you still have the power to make it more affordable. In fact, you can count on our practice’s varied payment options for assistance! Advanced Dental Concepts provides the following:
- Dental Wellness Plan – By paying an annual fee, you can join our practice’s dental wellness plan. This setup would (among other things) give you sizable discounts on cosmetic dental treatment.
- Flexible Financing – Our office works with Alphaeon Credit, a reputable 3rd party financier. They’d let you pay for cosmetic dentistry in small monthly installments with nearly no interest.
