Rochelle Park Cosmetic Dentistry

Is cosmetic dental treatment right for me?

Cosmetic dentistry can help patients with all kinds of dental issues drastically improve the look of their smiles and regain their confidence. Before deciding whether or not you should pursue cosmetic dental treatment, take some time and think about your level of satisfaction with your smile. Perhaps you find yourself shying away from laughing, speaking, or smiling at all in front of others because you're self conscious of your grin. If your smile is holding you back from living your life to the fullest, cosmetic care from your dentist in Rochelle Park can provide you with the confidence boost you deserve.

What to expect at your cosmetic consultation in Rochelle Park

Initial Conversation

First things first, you and Dr. Viaccaro or Dr. Lo will speak candidly about how you feel about your smile. We’ll do everything you can to make sure you’re comfortable, and encourage you to speak honestly about any imperfections with your grin that make you feel self-conscious or that you would like to change.

Comprehensive Exam

To find out if you’re a good candidate for cosmetic services, Dr. Viaccaro or Dr. Lo will perform a thorough oral exam. For cosmetic treatments to be a success, it helps to start with a healthy set of teeth and gums, so your dentist will discuss your oral health with you and plan any restorative treatments you may require before beginning cosmetic care.

Personalized Treatment Plan

Once your consultation and exam have been completed, Dr. Viaccaro or Dr. Lo will lay out all of your treatment options and outline a cosmetic treatment plan tailored to your unique needs and desired results. The treatment plan will help you to understand each and every step of your smile transformation.

Explore Your Options

Dr. Viaccaro or Dr. Lo will provide you with an array of treatment options, and together, you’ll decide what’s best for your needs, and what suits your budget and lifestyle.

Scheduling & Payment

Once you’ve decided on your preferred treatment plan, we’ll schedule your next visit in Rochelle Park and answer any questions you may have about finances or our services.

Cosmetic Treatment Options

Take-Home Teeth Whitening

Take-home teeth whitening allows you to brighten your smile without having to leave the comfort of your own home. With a take-home whitening kit, you’ll gradually whiten your teeth over the course of 2 weeks.

To ensure your reusable whitening trays fit perfectly, we will take impressions of your teeth and gums and custom-craft your trays.

Once the trays are complete, you’ll receive our whitening product, as well as detailed instructions for proper use and how to care for your trays. If you follow your dentist's directions, you’ll achieve the professional results your smile deserves.

In-Office Teeth Whitening

In-office teeth whitening can provide a more dramatic transformation. In just your first visit, you can significantly brighten your teeth–up to 10 shades lighter! This is a great option if you want instant results for an upcoming special occasion, or if you simply don’t want to wait to show off your brighter smile.

To achieve these results, Dr. Viaccaro or Dr. Lo will apply a protective gel to your gums so that they aren’t irritated during the whitening process. Retractors are used to keep your cheeks and other soft-tissues out of harm’s way. Then a powerful whitening agent will be applied carefully to your teeth, activated by a UV light. This whitening agent will be left on your teeth for about an hour but the time varies based on your desired shade. Repeated visits may be required for those with advanced discoloration. This process can be recurrent until you achieve the results you desire, but even one visit can make a huge difference!

Dental Bonding, Shaping & Contouring

Dental bonding is a non-invasive procedure that has the ability to transform your smile. Dr. Viaccaro or Dr. Lo will apply a dental resin, color-matched to blend in with the rest of your smile, to your teeth. They will carefully sculpt the resin into the desired shape before hardening it with a UV light to enhance and restore the look, feel, and function of your grin. A relatively quick procedure, dental bonding usually takes about 30-60 minutes per tooth.

Shaping & contouring, also referred to as enameloplasty, is a cosmetic procedure that is often performed together with dental bonding. During the shaping & contouring procedure, a thin layer of enamel will be removed from uneven, chipped, or sharp teeth to achieve the desired shape.

Veneers

Veneers in Rochelle Park can completely change the look of your smile, eliminating small gaps between teeth, as well as covering up the appearance of stained, misshaped, or uneven teeth. Veneers are wafer-thin, tooth-colored porcelain shells that are affixed to the front side of your teeth with a powerful dental cement.

Placing veneers begins with the removal of 0.5mm of enamel, so they can blend seamlessly with the rest of your smile. However, an important aspect to consider is that enamel does not grow back, making this an irreversible procedure. Still, veneers can completely redefine your smile and give you the confidence boost you deserve, and can last up to 15 years, with the proper care, before needing to be replaced.

Lumineers

Lumineers are an extra-thin type of veneers, coming in at less than half the width of their traditional counterparts. For a frame of reference, they’re actually only about as thick as a contact lens. Lumineers are adhered to the front side of your tooth to improve its shape, color, and overall appearance, and despite being extremely thin, they are still a durable and long-lasting cosmetic solution.

The primary advantage of Lumineers is that they don't require the removal of any of your natural enamel to be placed. This makes Lumineers a completely reversible procedure, unlike traditional veneers.

Cosmetic Dental Makeovers

Cosmetic makeovers are personalized plans that utilize multiple treatment methods to address all of your smile needs. Because everyone is unique and may have different goals, the exact services included can vary widely between patients. Over the course of one or more appointments, a variety of cosmetic and restorative dental procedures will be carried out to help you achieve your dream smile.

Clear Aligners

Invisalign is a great way to align your smile without the hassle of traditional orthodontics. Instead of uncomfortable metal or ceramic brackets and wires, Invisalign utilizes a series of clear aligners made from a durable plastic called SmartTrack. Because they’re removable, they don’t impose any dietary restrictions and are super easy to keep clean.

Because of advancements in Invisalign technology, we are able to treat more complex orthodontic issues than ever before. Schedule a consultation today and find out if Invisalign can help you get the smile you’ve been waiting for.

ICON Lesion Treatment

White Spot Lesions (WSLs) are little white spots that form on the surface of teeth, and are common after orthodontic treatment. They can also be caused by an enamel defect, trauma, or infection, that result in the demineralization of teeth.

ICON resin treatment is a minimally invasive procedure that can help reduce the appearance of WSLs, even “erasing” them completely for some patients.

To rid your smile of unsightly white spots, Dr. Viaccaro or Dr. Lo will gently remove the outer layer of enamel, and then apply a special dental resin. The resin helps to remineralize de-calcified areas, and will even out the shade of your tooth. The resin will be cured and your teeth will be polished, and you’ll have your smile back in no time at all.

In-office whitening can brighten your smile by up to 10 shades in a single visit.

What dental issues can cosmetic dentistry solve?

Cosmetic dentistry has a wide scope of treatment options that can solve nearly any aesthetic dental issue. Teeth whitening can brighten the smiles of patients with yellow or stained teeth. Dental bonding, shaping, & contouring can redefine the shape of teeth by fixing minor cracks and chips, and can be used to evening out your smile to get it for an aesthetically pleasing look. Veneers or Lumineers can fill small gaps, cover severe stains, and improve the appearance of slightly crooked or crowded teeth. Dental crowns can also be used for cosmetic purposes, but they are only used on teeth that have experienced more severe damage or decay.

Am I a good candidate for cosmetic dental treatments?

A good candidate for cosmetic dental care is a patient who is in good oral and overall health, and is looking to change or improve the look of their smile.

Those who are experiencing oral health issues like gum disease, cavities, or occlusal (bite) issues, may require restorative or orthodontic treatments before any cosmetic procedures can begin.

Can I get more than one cosmetic dental procedure done at the same time?

Yes! It's a common practice to receive multiple cosmetic dental treatments in a single appointment. Some procedures, such as dental bonding and enameloplasty, are almost always performed together. Cosmetic dental makeovers utilize a combination of multiple dental treatments to completely transform a patient’s grin.

Is cosmetic dentistry covered by dental insurance?

Although every insurance plan is different, most do not cover cosmetic dental care, as cosmetic cases are often listed as non-essential, elective, treatments. Some services, like veneers or dental crowns, may be partially covered by some insurance plans, as they may provide restorative benefits in certain cases, although this is more of an exception rather than the rule.

As a result, cosmetic treatment is often paid out-of-pocket by most patients. The best way to find out the scope of your coverage is to get in touch with your insurance provider directly. However, you can always give our team a call as well to see if we can provide you with discounts or financing options, so you can achieve the smile you deserve without breaking the bank.
