Veneers

Porcelain veneers are thin shells made from high-quality ceramic that is bonded to the top and front part of a tooth. They are a great option to aesthetically improve the appearance of crooked, misshapen, misaligned, chipped, or discolored teeth. They are a very popular solution because the results are relatively easy to achieve, and the only thing others will notice is the improvement in your appearance.
All-Ceramic Crowns

All-ceramic crowns have created a new standard in cosmetic dentistry. The advantage of all-ceramic crowns over traditional metal ceramic crowns is their ability to permit better light transmission through the body of the tooth, creating a completely natural appearance. All-ceramic crowns are the jewel of esthetic dentistry.

Direct Bonding

Dental bonding is a procedure in which a tooth-colored resin (a durable plastic material) is applied and hardened with a special light, which ultimately “bonds” the material to the tooth to restore and improve a person’s smile.

Invisalign

To enhance your smile and easily straighten your teeth without bands, brackets, or wires, EMA Dental offers Invisalign as a comfortable alternative to conventional braces. This technology allows you to invisibly straighten your teeth using a series of clear, removable aligners. Your teeth are moved little by little to achieve the smile you have always wanted.
Teeth Whitening

Tooth enamel can become dull and discolored over time for a number of reasons, but that doesn’t mean a beautifully bright smile is out of your reach. At EMA Dental, we now offer a brand-new concept in whitening and dental hygiene – The Refresh Whitening Spa! We offer several gorgeous whitening options in a very relaxing environment, and you’ll be able to improve the color of your smile by several shades in an hour or less.

Gum Recontouring

Would you describe your smile as short, uneven, or overly “gummy?” Your gum line may be negatively influencing your overall appearance, but this can be easily corrected with an aesthetic gum recontouring procedure from our talented dentists. By precisely sculpting the soft tissue, removing excessive material, and revealing beautiful portions of your teeth that were previously hidden from view, we can help you achieve a much more confident look.
Tooth-Colored Fillings

Dental fillings are used to restore teeth that have been damaged by tooth decay. The development of tooth-colored fillings, also known as composite fillings, has provided dentists and patients with a safer and more attractive alternative to silver amalgam fillings. By precisely matching tooth-colored composite fillings to the natural color of your teeth, a skilled dentist is able to provide white fillings that are virtually invisible. Many patients also opt to have their older amalgam fillings replaced with composite fillings. The removal of amalgam fillings can provide patients with a more aesthetically pleasing, silver-free smile.

Understanding the Cost of Cosmetic Dentistry

Are you worried about the cost of undergoing cosmetic dentistry? Many times, patients are concerned because aesthetic treatments aren’t generally covered by dental insurance.

Here are some things for you to keep in mind.
Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs
Are you still curious about cosmetic dentistry? If so, you came to the right place! At EMA Dental, we want all our patients to have the information they need to feel confident in their smile and treatment. That’s why we’ve included the answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about cosmetic dentistry in East Long Meadow & Northampton. Read on to satisfy your curiosity.
Which cosmetic service is right for me?
We offer a variety of cosmetic dentistry services because no two smiles are the same. That said, the only way to know which treatment is right for you with certainty is to visit our office for a consultation. One of our experts will carefully examine your smile, checking for problems like chips, cracks, gaps, and more. After, we will be able to provide you with a recommendation in the form of a personalized treatment plan. Next, you can schedule your appointment, taking you one step closer to the beautiful smile of your dreams.
Will my insurance cover cosmetic dentistry?
Because cosmetic dentistry is seen as an elective procedure, dental insurance providers typically will not cover it. However, our friendly front desk team is incredibly helpful and experienced when it comes to maximizing your insurance benefits. In many cases, the consultation and any restorative procedures you need before beginning can be covered. Plus, we accept alternative financing like CareCredit to make our amazing dentistry affordable for all budgets.
How long will my treatment take?
Because there are so many treatments we offer, and each case is different, it’s difficult to know your treatment time. For example, our brilliant teeth whitening can be completed in one quick and easy appointment; however, porcelain veneers will usually take at least two separate visits. If you need a complete smile makeover, it’s likely that your entire treatment process will occur over a span of time to leave room for short healing periods in between. Your treatment time will all depend on your smile and the problems that affect it.
Will life be different after cosmetic dentistry?
Life after cosmetic dentistry is simply amazing! While there can be a short adjustment period after certain treatments like Invisalign or porcelain veneers, the results give you priceless confidence. Now, you can flash your smile in any social or professional setting without feeling self-conscious about the flaws in your grin. Plus, studies show that a white and healthy smile helps people perceive you as more successful, youthful, trustworthy, and confident! If you’re ready to take advantage of these benefits, contact our office today.
Is cosmetic dentistry expensive?
While many people assume that cosmetic dentistry must be incredibly expensive because it produces such magnificent results, this is not always the case. While dental insurance plans rarely cover cosmetic treatments since they are not medically necessary, these procedures vary widely in cost and may even pay dividends over time. Having a smile you can be proud to show off can make it much easier to make an excellent impression during job interviews and when being considered for promotions, and it can also help you build connections in social situations. If you need a little help fitting your cosmetic treatment into your budget, our offices in Longmeadow, Northampton, and Westfield offer flexible payment plans through CareCredit and Lending Club.
Is cosmetic dentistry safe?
Cosmetic dental procedures are completely safe as long as they are administered by a trained professional. This is in no small part due to the process always beginning with a consultation at one of our offices so our dentist can make sure that you can receive treatment safely. No treatment is right for every patient, so our team will carefully examine your mouth and evaluate your health history before recommending any procedure. In some cases, a patient may need restorative work to address tooth decay and gum disease before receiving cosmetic dentistry. This prevents unpleasant complications such as discomfort caused by exposing the interior of the tooth to powerful teeth whitening agents or sheltering infections from the mouth’s natural cleaning process, which can allow them to fester. During your consultation, our dentist will carefully determine which treatments you qualify for and inform you about any restorative procedures that may be required beforehand.
While cheap store-bought teeth whitening treatments may seem tempting, these products often deliver lackluster results and may even lead to injuries due to questionable quality or user error. Professional teeth whitening treatments, on the other hand, are administered using customized dental trays and powerful whitening agents to minimize risks and maximize results.
Does cosmetic dentistry hurt?
Even if you’re dead set on transforming your smile with cosmetic dentistry, it’s still understandable that you might be concerned about whether your procedure will hurt. Our team is completely aware of this and will do everything possible to ensure that your treatment goes as smoothly and comfortably as possible. Some cosmetic treatments such as direct bonding and teeth whitening are so incredibly non-invasive that they can be performed painlessly without anesthesia. For more intensive procedures like placing veneers or all-ceramic crowns, you’ll receive a local anesthetic to ensure your comfort. While you may experience some lingering soreness for a few days after your treatment, this should be mild, temporary, and easy to address with over-the-counter pain medication. However, contact our office if you experience worsening pain after your procedure, as this may be a sign of infection.
