Veneers
It can be easy to feel discouraged about the stains, discoloration, chips, and cracks that have formed on your teeth over the years, especially if you keep noticing the celebrities on television with perfect grins. With a thin sheath of porcelain called a veneer, you can also enjoy a dazzling smile! When placed on the front of your teeth, veneers completely hide any dental flaws that might have accumulated over the years. And since they look completely natural, you don’t have to worry about the casual observer noticing anything except a gorgeous smile.
After a comprehensive exam to confirm that veneers are right for you, Dr. Fisher will prepare the teeth by filing away a small amount of enamel. Then we’ll give you a set of temporary veneers to wear while the permanent ones are designed and crafted at a dental lab. Veneers can last for years and will not stain easily.
Once your veneers have been placed, you can simply clean them as you would your regular teeth – that is, by brushing and flossing them twice daily. To give them protection from bruxism (grinding of the teeth at night), you can ask us for a nightguard. Don’t forget to visit Dr. Fisher every six months so that he can check for issues and perform any necessary maintenance.
Metal-Free Restorations
There’s no longer any need to use mercury or other metals to create crowns and other types of restorations. Nowadays, we can instead use long-lasting ceramic that has been precisely matched to the rest of your existing smile. In addition to the cosmetic benefits, such restorations are useful for patients who are sensitive to metal.

At-Home Teeth Whitening

Cosmetic Dental Bonding
If you have a chipped, slightly misaligned, or otherwise imperfect tooth that needs cosmetic restoration, we may suggest one-appointment bonding. Dr. Fisher can apply liquid composite resin, shaded to blend with your tooth's color, to rebuild a pleasing shape to your tooth. After hardening the resin with a curing light, he will artistically sculpt and polish the restoration. In just one visit, you can enjoy a beautiful new smile! Cosmetic bonding can be a viable, affordable alternative to porcelain veneers, but it lasts only 5 to 10 years with proper care. Bonding will not discolor as your natural tooth enamel will, so touch-up teeth whitening may be required to keep your natural teeth the same shade as the bonded area.

Smile Makeovers
Smile makeovers are ideal forms of treatment for anyone suffering from multiple cosmetic imperfections. Dr. Fisher and our team can create a personalized plan that incorporates several services so that the process of recreating and enhancing smiles is more streamlined. We won’t just focus on completing one form of treatment but instead, use the recommended solutions in a more cohesive way to produce long-lasting, beautiful results.
Understanding the Cost of Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry is attributed with a hefty price tag, but it’s more affordable than you might realize. You don’t have to be rich or famous to invest in a beautiful smile because there’s a solution to fit all budgets. Various factors affect the cost of cosmetic dentistry in Greensboro, but Dr. Fisher strives to keep a confident smile affordable for everyone. He’ll help you turn the smile of your dreams into reality without costing you an arm and a leg.
Which Cosmetic Dental Service Is Right for Me?
There’s no cookie-cutter treatment to create an attractive smile because every mouth and situation differs. Instead, your cosmetic dentist in Greensboro will examine your mouth and learn more about your preferences, including your budget, to recommend a treatment. You have more options than ever to address common aesthetic concerns, including:
- Cosmetic Dental Bonding: Composite resin is shaded to match the color of enamel to blend in with the tooth structure. It’s a quick, effective method of treating minor imperfections, like chips, cracks, and decay.
- Porcelain Veneers: A veneer covers the front surface of a tooth to improve its color, size, and shape. Veneers can resolve several flaws using one treatment when applied to the teeth visible when smiling.
- Metal-Free Restorations: All-ceramic material is used to create a custom-made restoration that will look and feel natural.
- Teeth Whitening: A professional whitening system can get your teeth up to 8 shades whiter when used on surface stains.
We’ll provide you with a personalized estimate and explain any fees, so you’ll know exactly what you’ll have to pay before committing to anything.
Cosmetic Dentistry Can Be an Investment Worth Making
You can’t put a price tag on the benefits you’ll enjoy with a beautiful smile. Attractive teeth are attributed to youth, success, and confidence. Not only will you look and feel your best, but you’ll be more appealing to employers, which can lead to new job opportunities. Some imperfections can be more than an aesthetic issue, like overcrowding or broken teeth. Fixing them can improve your oral health and reduce your risk of needing costly treatments later.
How to Make Cosmetic Dentistry Affordable
A member of our team will review your payment options to find the solutions you need to fit your budget, which includes:
- Traditional Payments: Our office accepts all traditional payment methods, including cash, checks, and credit cards.
- Dental Insurance: Dental insurance won’t cover elective procedures, but there are exceptions. Many cosmetic treatments provide restorative benefits, like dental bonding and metal-free restorations. If Dr. Fisher determines treatment is medically necessary, you can use your benefits to offset the amount you’ll pay out of pocket.
- Special Offers: Ask us about any ongoing patient specials.
If you have questions about paying for cosmetic dentistry, or you're ready to schedule your consultation, contact our office today. We look forward to creating the picture-perfect smile you desire.
Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs
Isn’t Cosmetic Dentistry Just About Looks?
Cosmetic dentistry aims to help your smile look and feel its best. Correcting dental flaws will often help protect weakened teeth from bacteria and damage, which lowers your risk of oral health issues like cavities and gum disease. Additionally, when you naturally begin to smile more because of how great your teeth look, you’ll enjoy even more health benefits! Researchers have found that smiling can release stress, lower blood pressure, and even boost the immune system.
Can My Child or Teen Get Cosmetic Dentistry?
Try as you might to protect your son’s or daughter’s precious smile, accidents happen. They may have discolored teeth from too much soda or a chipped tooth from playing sports. Whatever the case, the appearance of your child’s smile plays a key role in their confidence. Thankfully, some cosmetic treatments are safe and effective options for younger smiles. Your child will need to have a consultation with your Greensboro cosmetic dentist, Dr. Fisher, first, who will determine if they can benefit from a service like teeth whitening or dental bonding.
How Long Does Cosmetic Dentistry Take?
Just like there is no one-size-fits-all approach to cosmetic services, there is no single answer to this question. The length of your treatment will depend on how your smile is being improved. Custom-made services like veneers may take a little bit of time to create. If you’re choosing to brighten your smile with an at-home whitening kit, you can typically expect to achieve optimal results in about two weeks. On the other hand, a quick and easy service like cosmetic bonding can dramatically improve your smile in just one appointment!
Is Cosmetic Dentistry Safe?
As we mentioned above, we care just as much about the health of your smile as we do its looks. Before starting any treatments, we’ll carefully inspect your teeth and gums to ensure they’re ready for their makeover. Issues like tooth decay and gum disease can make treatments like teeth whitening uncomfortable and even influence their success. If even the earliest warning signs of these problems are present, we’ll put a stop to them before they can cause you any problems. Once your oral health is in great shape, then we can help you get the beautiful smile you’ve always wanted!
Will My Dental Insurance Cover My Cosmetic Treatment?
Unfortunately, most dental insurance policies don’t cover cosmetic treatments. However, feel free to bring your insurance paperwork with you to your consultation and we’ll be happy to go over the details with you. We believe everyone should be able to get the smile of their dreams, so we also offer third-party financing through CareCredit. This method would allow you to break up the cost of your treatment into easily manageable payments that fit into your budget.
