Cosmetic dentists at Aspen Dental use advanced techniques to address issues like stained teeth, misalignment, and chipped or missing teeth. We’re here to help you achieve a beautiful and radiant smile.

Veneers can quickly improve the appearance of your teeth by fixing issues like discoloration, chips, gaps, and minor misalignments. They are thin, custom-made shells bonded to the front of your teeth, giving you a fresh, natural-looking smile. The process involves a consultation to discuss your goals, preparation of your teeth by removing a small amount of enamel, and then bonding the custom veneers to your teeth. The result is a bright, even smile that looks and feels natural. Ask your Aspen Dental dentist if veneers are right for you.

On average patients pay $1,511 per tooth, depending on factors such as the type of veneer (porcelain or composite resin), the complexity of the procedure, and the dentist's expertise and location. Without insurance, the price can vary based on the materials used, the dental practice's location, and the specific needs of your case. On average, patients in the Aspen Dental network pay around $1,043¹ per tooth. Be sure to consult with your Aspen Dental dentist to discuss pricing and options that are best for you.

On average, patients pay $283 per arch for teeth whitening at Aspen Dental. Costs will vary based on the dental location near you, your level of tooth discoloration, as well as your whitening preferences.

Bonding may be a better option than veneers, if the dental cosmetic issue is minor or a smaller localized issue, such as a chipped or cracked tooth. Bonding may be best if you’re looking for a more affordable and faster procedure.

If your dental health is kept properly maintained, composite bonding can last anywhere between 5 - 10 years. It’s important to schedule time with your dentist for routine check-ups and cleanings to ensure your oral health is on the right track.
