Invisalign® Clear Braces
If you’ve always wanted to straighten your teeth, you no longer have to get metal braces to do so! Invisalign is a discreet option that uses a series of crystal-clear aligner trays to gently shift the teeth towards their proper positions. No one will notice you’re wearing them, and when it’s time to eat or brush, you can simply take the aligners out until you’re done!

Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are extremely thin ceramic restorations that are designed to cover the front surfaces of the teeth. They can be shaped and shaded to look like flawless white enamel, and with them, Dr. Azmoodeh can fix a wide variety of cosmetic flaws all at once. If you’re looking to get a Hollywood-style smile or simply want to correct multiple issues with just one procedure, then porcelain veneers may be exactly what you need.

Metal-Free Dental Restorations
Thanks to metal-free restorations, dental work doesn’t have to look and feel unnatural anymore! At Epic Family Dentistry of Carrollton, we’re happy to offer 100% porcelain crowns, inlays, onlays, and bridges for patients with damaged teeth that show prominently in the smile. We use restorations from high-quality providers like Emax and Bruxier, ensuring they both look great and can be trusted to stand the test of time. This is the kind of dental work that actually looks nothing like dental work!
Dental Bonding
If you have a small spot of discoloration, minor chip, or a slight gap between two teeth, direct bonding is a simple and effective way to get rid of it in just one appointment. Dr. Azmoodeh will sculpt a lifelike composite resin over your compromised tooth to hide any offending problem. The procedure itself only takes about an hour, the results will blend perfectly with the rest of your teeth, and you can trust it to last for about 3-10 years (depending on how well you take care of your teeth).

Teeth Whitening
It’s very common for the teeth to become stained and discolored over time, whether it’s due to coffee, wine, tobacco, or just natural aging. Whatever the case may be, our practice can use Zoom! Teeth Whitening to restore that youthful glow to your grin. You can elect to get a quick in-office treatment that takes less than an hour, or we can send you home with your own custom-made kit to use whenever and wherever you want. Either way, the end result will be the same: a set of teeth that is 6-8 shades whiter!

Gum Recontouring
For many patients, the reason they aren’t happy with the appearance of their smile has nothing to do with their teeth, but rather their gums. When too much gum tissue shows when a person smiles, it can cause the teeth to look short or uneven. Fortunately, this is something we can take care of in just one appointment! Using our soft tissue laser, we can quickly and painlessly remove excess tissue to reveal previously hidden dental structure, creating a more balanced and symmetrical appearance for the smile.
Understanding the Cost of Cosmetic Dentistry
It’s common for patients to feel hesitant to talk about the cost of their treatment. If that’s the case for you, let us assure you that our team is here to make the financial side of your smile transformation as smooth as the treatment itself. If you’re interested in getting a price estimate, then the best thing to do is schedule an appointment with our Carrollton dental team. If, on the other hand, you want to learn more general information about the cost, then keep reading!
Which Cosmetic Dental Service Is Right for Me?
Although several factors need to be considered when it comes to the cost of cosmetic dentistry, arguably one of the most important ones is which smile-enhancing service you choose. Here are a few of the most popular:
- Invisalign – Over the last 20+ years, Invisalign has helped more than 14 million patients straighten their teeth, making it a tried-and-true treatment. Although the initial investment is higher, it’s important to remember that the results have the potential to last a lifetime. Therefore, there’s a very good chance that clear aligner treatment could be the most cost-effective option for you in the long run.
- Veneers – Veneers are another cosmetic dental service that requires a higher upfront investment. However, there are several benefits that make them well worth it, including that each veneer is custom-made, the materials used are stain-resistant, and the results can last upwards of 30 years. Plus, veneers can address a wide variety of dental imperfections at once, and the entire treatment process can be completed in as little as two visits.
- Dental Bonding – There are several reasons dental bonding is so popular, including that the process is completely painless (a local anesthetic isn’t even needed) and takes only one appointment. Furthermore, this cosmetic dental service is one of the most cost-effective options available, especially since it can fix multiple flaws at once, including minor misalignment, small chips, and slight discoloration.
- Teeth Whitening – Professional teeth whitening may be more expensive than store-bought alternatives, but they are reliable, personalized, and deliver gorgeous results. In addition, we can use in-office and take-home whitening treatments to lighten your teeth by eight shades or more, giving you the bright, beautiful smile you’ve always wanted.
Cosmetic Dentistry Can Be an Investment Worth Making
If you’re on the fence about whether or not you should move forward with cosmetic dentistry, it’s worth noting all of the benefits. Of course, investing in the look of your smile can undoubtedly boost your confidence and self-esteem. However, there’s more to it. To start, several studies over the years have shown that cosmetic dental treatments, like teeth whitening, can positively impact your love life and professional success. Furthermore, having a gorgeous smile can indirectly benefit your oral health because you’ll naturally want to take good care of it.

First, we offer periodic specials, which can help reduce your out-of-pocket expenses. Second, we welcome flexible financing with CareCredit.

Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs
At Epic Family Dentistry of Carrollton, we’re committed to helping you smile confidently. However, it’s likely that you have a few questions that need answers before you’re ready to start improving your smile. That’s why we’ve gathered some of the most common questions we get about our cosmetic dental treatments below so you can learn more about them. If you don’t see the answers you’re looking for, don’t hesitate to give us a call or schedule a consultation!
I Want to Improve My Smile — Where Do I Start?
If you have discolored, chipped, crooked, or short teeth, there are a variety of services you can choose from! Many of our cosmetic treatments are versatile and can be used to address several different types of dental flaws. That’s why your first step towards your new smile should be to come visit us for a consultation! Dr. Azmoodeh will take the time to discuss your goals for your smile with you and carefully inspect your mouth. Then, he’ll go over all of your treatment options along with his recommendations before helping you pick the one that’s best for you.
Am I A Good Candidate for Cosmetic Dentistry?
Practically anyone can benefit from cosmetic dentistry, but not all patients are a good candidate initially. Issues like tooth decay and gum disease can make some treatments uncomfortable or negatively impact the results. But don’t worry — if Dr. Azmoodeh discovers any of these problems during your initial consultation, he’ll work with you to make a treatment plan that addresses them first. Then, once your smile is healthy, we can begin improving its appearance.
How Long Will It Take to Improve My Smile?
Since no two smiles are exactly alike, each of our cosmetic treatments (including its length) will depend on the unique situation and goals of the patient. Some of our cosmetic services can dramatically enhance your smile in just a single day. For example, treatments like in-office teeth whitening, dental bonding, and gum recontouring can all typically be completed in a single quick and easy appointment. However, most custom-made solutions like porcelain veneers and metal-free restorations may require a week or two to design, create, and place.
Do I Need Braces If I Have Crooked Teeth?
Thankfully, traditional metal braces aren’t your only option for correcting crooked teeth anymore! In fact, if your teeth are only slightly out of alignment, cosmetic dentistry may be a faster and more cost-effective solution. Dental bonding, porcelain veneers, and metal-free restorations can all be used to address small spaces between teeth and teeth that are slightly out of alignment. However, these measures are not a good choice for you if your teeth are moderately crooked or if you have bite problems. Thankfully, we also offer Invisalign clear aligners to help you achieve the straighter, healthier smile you deserve without a distracting mouth full of metal.
With so many cosmetic treatments to choose from, it’s never been easier to get the smile of your dreams! Give us a call today to schedule your consultation.
