Who needs cosmetic dentistry?
Don’t buy the narrative that cosmetic dentistry is just for celebrities or the rich. Anyone who wants to improve the appearance of their teeth or gums can consider cosmetic dentistry. Thanks to advanced technologies, many treatments are affordable and can fit almost any budget.
You should consider cosmetic dentistry to treat:
- Discoloration: Your teeth can lose their natural shine to smoking, trauma, foods, infection, medications, or general natural wear and tear. Aesthetic dentistry can correct mild to severe discoloration with various treatments.
- Alignment: We can align crooked or crowded teeth with veneers or Invisalign.
- Chips or cracks: Minor tooth damage can result from everyday use or accidents. We can correct superficial damage with cosmetic treatments to achieve a functional, seamless smile.
- Gaps or missing teeth: Our aesthetic treatments can close the unwanted spaces to complete your smile, whether you were born with gaps or something happened along the way.
- Uneven teeth: Genetics and daily use can result in stubby, pointed, or jagged teeth. We can apply cosmetic treatments to your teeth to achieve a uniform appearance.
What cosmetic treatments are available to me?
Cosmetic dental imperfections come in several shapes and sizes, so there isn’t a one-size-fits-all treatment to magically perfect your smile. Several dental treatments exist; your procedure depends on your needs, budget, and preferences.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cosmetic Dentistry
Are the results of cosmetic dentistry natural-looking?
Every smile is unique, and we like it that way. When you visit Stein Family Dentistry, it’s not just about eliminating dental flaws. It’s about delivering results that look beautiful yet authentic. Whether you want teeth whitening or veneers, the idea is to enhance your beauty, not change it. Your smile looks naturally gorgeous, never overdone.
What should I expect from my cosmetic dentistry consultation?
Your first consultation with Dr. Andy Stein is comprehensive and unhurried. The dentist will take the time to understand your needs and goals. Then, we will utilize advanced imaging technology, including X-rays, 3D scans, and photographs, to obtain a detailed picture of your oral health. Next, we’ll walk you through possible treatments, including their costs and timelines. Finally, we’ll create a customized treatment plan tailored to your aesthetic needs, timing, comfort, and budget.
What’s the most common cosmetic dentistry procedure?
Teeth whitening is the most requested treatment. Tooth discoloration is a common issue that many people experience despite good oral hygiene. Teeth whitening lifts stains and brightens your smile fast without a significant financial commitment. Other common cosmetic dental procedures include dental veneers, bonding, and Invisalign.
How long does it take to transform my smile?
It depends on what you need. Teeth whitening can be completed in one visit. Dental bonding often requires one appointment as well. Porcelain veneers may take a few weeks, but we also offer 3D-printed veneers that can be completed in a shorter timeframe. Your dentist will give you a realistic timeline during your consultation.
Is cosmetic dentistry suitable for everyone?
Most individuals are good candidates. You just need a healthy mouth. If you have gum disease and cavities, they must be treated first. Age is also a factor. Children and even teenagers may not be suitable candidates for cosmetic dentistry.
How much does cosmetic dentistry cost in Spokane, WA?
Costs vary because every smile is different. Teeth whitening is typically the most affordable option. Veneers and Invisalign cost more because they involve more planning and lab-made materials. Our office will provide a cost breakdown during consultation. Rest assured, we have something for almost every budget.
Does insurance cover cosmetic dentistry?
No! Dental insurance typically does not cover cosmetic dentistry because it’s considered elective. However, this doesn’t mean you must break the bank to achieve your smile goals. We’ll discuss available payment plans to ensure you achieve your best smile without financial stress.
How long do cosmetic dentistry procedures last?
Again, it depends on the procedure. Teeth whitening usually lasts several months to a few years. Dental bonding lasts 5-8 years, while dental veneers can last up to 15 years. An Invisalign-straightened smile can last a lifetime with proper retainer use.
How do I maintain my brand-new smile?
Maintaining good hygiene is essential. Brush your teeth two times a day. Floss every day. Increase your water intake and reduce consumption of dark sodas, coffee, and tea. Avoid using your teeth as tools to open packages or cut fingernails. If you grind your teeth at night, consider consulting your dentist about a custom night guard to help protect your teeth. Lastly, visit your dentist for routine check-ups and cleanings.
