Beautiful Teeth Without Breaking The Bank

affordable teeth whitening Royal Oak

At Gustafson Morningstar Dentistry in Royal Oak, our cosmetic dental smile makeover patients believe that life-changing cosmetic dentistry is a worthwhile investment. Indeed, for most people, the value of a healthy, appealing smile cannot be measured in dollars. We agree, however, that cosmetic dentistry is not cheap.

Do you have to spend thousands of dollars to upgrade your smile? Actually, no. Today’s post focuses on the most affordable cosmetic dental procedures.

Dental Bonding
In many cases, dental bonding can be used to correct a tooth that has been chipped.

When Steven Gustafson repairs a tooth with dental bonding, a pliable resin material is applied to the tooth. Dr. Gustafson expertly molds the material to create the desired shape. The resin is then hardened using a special light. After hardening, Dr. Gustafson performs any necessary trimming and shaping followed by a final polishing.

Dental bonding is typically less costly than porcelain veneers or dental crowns. Call us at 248-541-8770 to discuss cosmetic dental financing options.

Beware of brand-new Detroit area practices that advertise extremely low prices for dental bonding, veneers, or dental implants. The expertise and artistic ability necessary to attain minuscule tolerances should not be undertaken by a beginner. Thoroughly research any new cosmetic dentist you are considering for any cosmetic dental procedures or complete smile redesign.

Tooth Whitening
Most Royal Oak people are aware that there are several different tooth whitening methods. Steven Gustafson recommends scheduling a tooth whitening consultation to discuss your options. Even inexpensive OTC tooth bleaching systems can be misused and bring about tooth sensitivity, damage to tooth enamel, and irregular coloration.

Regarding the cost of teeth whitening: if you elect an at-home system from a drugstore, you may have to buy several packages to obtain even slight whitening. In-office whitening or a take-home system from our office may be more affordable in the long run.

What is Patient-Centered Dental Care?

cosmetic dentistry Royal Oak

What is your perception of the patient-dentist relationship? Would you characterize it as one-sided? In other words, the Royal Oak dentist examines the patient’s teeth, chooses the course of treatment, and performs the procedure-while the patient is an inconsequential participant.

It Starts With The Atmosphere

At Gustafson Morningstar Dentistry, we don’t do things that way. You will realize the difference when you first walk in our doors. You will discover a friendly atmosphere. We don’t push our cosmetic dentistry patients through as if they were on an assembly line.

We see you as a whole person, not just an disembodied mouth full of teeth. When Dr. Gustafson meets with you, you will be able to talk about more than just your oral health. You will discuss your lifestyle, your past dental experiences, your goals, and your concerns. We want to create a long-term relationship with you—it benefits you and helps us do our jobs well.

We Listen

When Dr. Gustafson examines a patient and finds a problem that needs treatment, there is rarely only one solution proposed. Dr. Gustafson will take as much time as necessary explain the options and answer your questions.

By listening carefully, communicating clearly, and asking the right questions, Dr. Gustafson can fully assess the many critical factors that influence your present and future oral health.

Does This Sound Good to You?

Does patient-focused dental care make sense to you? If so, we invite you to become one of our valued general dentistry patients. You can book an appointment by calling 248-541-8770.
