Cosmetic Dentistry

Working with a skilled cosmetic dentist in Gregory SD is a simple way to improve your appearance and confidence. Whether you have stained teeth you would like to be whiter, a misshapen tooth, a large gap between two teeth, or another common problem, Dr. Hull can help you achieve a smile that you will feel proud to share with others.

What is Cosmetic Dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry is the umbrella term for a variety of voluntary procedures that patients undergo primarily for cosmetic enhancement. Dental insurance companies typically do not pay for cosmetic procedures for this reason. However, we always encourage patients to ask their provider before scheduling their session with us. Insurers often provide more coverage if the cosmetic procedure is also restorative, such as placing a crown over a tooth damaged in a car accident.

Typical Cosmetic Enhancements

Professional teeth whitening is a procedure that you can have performed by our cosmetic dentists in Gregory SD or take the materials home with you and follow the instructions on the packaging. The standard procedure is to wear a customized mouth tray on your upper and lower rows of teeth for about an hour at our dental practice or for several consecutive nights at home. You can expect the shade of your teeth to be up to 10 times brighter after you complete professional teeth whitening.

Veneers

Dental veneers are a thin shell that Dr. Hull affixes to the front of a tooth to disguise your cosmetic problem. You might even choose veneers over teeth whitening if you have only one or two stained teeth. Other common uses for veneers include covering chips, cracks, a large gap, and making the appearance of one tooth more uniform with the others.

Teeth whitening and veneers are just two of several cosmetic dentistry procedures we offer at our practice in Gregory, South Dakota. Please reach out to reserve a time to come in and learn more.
