Tempe Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs

Serving Arizona In Scottsdale, Phoenix, Tempe,and Surrounding Areas

I have a few metal fillings - what can I do to improve the look of my smile?

Unfortunately, metal fillings are not the most reliable or durable smile solution. Eventually, all metal fillings will need to be replaced as time, wear and tear, and microleakage will cause them to breakdown and leave your natural enamel vulnerable to decay and damage. Many of our patients choose to replace metal fillings with durable and natural-looking, bonded, porcelain fillings for improved function and appearance.

What can I do to repair my chipped or broken teeth?

Cosmetic bonding is a popular and affordable choice to fix tooth defects and improve your smile. A composite material can be shaped and bonded to your natural enamel to create a beautifully formed, natural-looking tooth. Tooth-colored porcelain veneers are also a conservative option and a popular choice for smile restoration.

What smile solutions are best for a natural, subtle change?

You can discuss your smile goals during your complimentary consultation with Dr. Lachot or Dr. Loo. Any number of cosmetic smile solutions can give you a dramatic smile change, including laser whitening, porcelain veneers, and crowns and bonding. Your dentist will help you find the custom treatment or combination of treatments to provide a functional and aesthetically pleasing smile enhancement. The dentist will take into account your unique features such as skin tone, hair and eye color for your smile design.

How quickly can I complete my custom smile makeover?

Depending on the extent of your smile makeover, you can have a dramatic smile enhancement in as little as one visit for single tooth restorations. If you choose a combination of treatments, or a more involved procedure like a dental implant, you may need 2 or 3 visits. Dr. Lachot or Dr. Loo will discuss a timeline with you during your complimentary cosmetic dentistry consultation. With today's advanced dental technology, you can change your smile in just a short amount of time.

Are cosmetic dentistry treatments expensive?

At the Scottsdale office of Dr. Lachot and Dr. Loo, we believe in making dental enhancements affordable to all our patients. We view cosmetic dentistry as an investment in yourself and your dental health - when your smile looks and functions better, you feel better and have improved self-confidence. While this benefit is priceless, we strive to keep our treatments affordable while offering a variety of payment options. We also offer financing for qualified patients to help defer costs.
