Veneers
Veneers are a uniquely versatile cosmetic dentistry solution, capable of addressing a very wide range of aesthetic issues including tooth chips and cracks, stubborn stains, gaps between teeth, and more. They involve placing a small, thin covering made from porcelain over the outer surfaces of the teeth, immediately improving their appearance tenfold. Here at our dental practice, Dr. Morgan and our team are thrilled to offer numerous types of veneers including DURAthin veneers and minimal prep veneers.

Metal-Free Dental Restorations
In the past, several types of dental restorations relied on a material called metal amalgam, which is a combination of different metal alloys. While reliable, these metal fillings and similar solutions weren’t natural-looking at all – so while they’d solve the initial problem, they’d create another in the sense that they didn’t blend in with the other teeth. Here at our office, we’re thrilled to utilize metal-free restorations to ensure that your smile looks as wonderful and lifelike as possible.

Porcelain Onlays
For a tooth that is compromised beyond a filling, but doesn't need a full crown, we offer porcelain onlays. Handcrafted at a trusted dental lab, onlays match the shade and shape of your tooth and look incredible lifelike. Durable and strong, porcelain onlays offer a beautiful option to revitalize teeth while preserving your all-white smile.
Cosmetic Dental Bonding
If cracks, chips, and deep stains on your front teeth keep your lips tightly sealed, ask Dr. Morgan about cosmetic dental bonding. We'll use a putty-like composite resin to build up the affected tooth, then gently buff and polish your smile back to perfection. Less expensive than porcelain veneers and completed in a single visit, cosmetic bonding is a great option for many of our patients.
Teeth Whitening
It’s not uncommon to desire a whiter and brighter smile – and with Dr. Morgan’s help, this goal is easily attainable. Our dental practice in Virginia Beach is thrilled to offer two effective means of teeth whitening: in-office Zoom! professional whitening, and At-Home-Nite White take-home trays. Both of these solutions can whiten the shade of your teeth by multiple shades, and patients can simply select the one that better suits their preferences and schedule.

Invisalign Clear Aligners
Invisalign has taken the world of modern dentistry by storm, and it’s now easier than ever before to attain straighter teeth without the hassle or discomfort of traditional orthodontic options like braces. Relying on a system of clear aligners, Invisalign strategically shifts teeth into their desired positions over the course of several months – though this timeline is still often shorter than what metal braces can offer. Better yet, these aligners are removable, transparent, and specfrically designed for your teeth!
Cosmetic Recontouring
If irregularly shaped, chipped, or overlapping teeth keep you from smiling, Dr. Morgan can reshape your teeth with cosmetic recontouring. By artistically sculpting a tiny amount of the natural enamel, we create a pleasing, uniform look that makes teeth appear straighter and more attractive. Comfortable and quick, we can often make big changes to your smile in just a single visit.
Gum Recontouring
For some patients, a "gummy" smile hinders their confidence. Don't worry, you're teeth aren't too small. Your gums simply extend farther down the tooth structure and we can change it. Dr. Morgan performs cosmetic gum recontouring using a soft tissue laser to reshape the gum line and reveal more of your teeth. It's a comfortable procedure that provides an instant transformation.
Smile Makeovers
Some patients worry that their smiles might require too much restorative or cosmetic dental work in order for them to achieve their goals. However, smile makeovers are designed for these exact scenarios! Dr. Morgan will work closely with you to come up with a personalized and streamlined treatment plan involving different types of procedures, aimed at boosting your smile’s beauty and helping your confidence soar.

Understanding the Cost of Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry typically isn’t covered by insurance, which makes many patients concerned about how they’re going to afford their services. Fortunately, we do everything that we can to make the services that you receive from us fit your budget, and to help you pick the right procedure for you. Plus, it’s important to remember that improving your smile is an important investment; it’ll pay off in the short and long run.
We’ll give you more information about how you can make cosmetic care affordable when we meet you, but here’s what you should know before then.
What Cosmetic Dental Service Is Right for Me?
When selecting the right cosmetic dental service for your budget, it's essential to consider your specific needs and financial constraints. For minor changes like reshaping damaged teeth or covering small flaws, direct bonding is an affordable option, though it typically lasts only a few years. If your goal is a brighter smile, teeth whitening offers a relatively quick and mid-range cost solution, but it won't alter tooth shape or position.
For those looking for a more transformative and long-lasting change, veneers might be the best choice. Although they come with a higher price tag, veneers can address multiple aspects of your smile simultaneously and can last over a decade with proper care. If you have significant gaps or misaligned teeth, braces or Invisalign can make a significant difference in both aesthetics and oral health. However, they require a considerable time commitment and are among the more expensive options.
For the most comprehensive solution, a smile makeover combines several services to achieve your desired results in the best possible timeframe. While it is the most costly option, it provides a thorough and efficient approach to achieving your perfect smile. When we meet for your consultation, we’ll help you carefully evaluate these options to find the best fit for your budget and dental needs.
Cosmetic Dentistry Can Be an Investment Worth Making
The cost of cosmetic dentistry might seem daunting, but it’s worth remembering what you get for your money. It enhances your smile, boosting self-confidence and overall appearance. Improved aesthetics can positively impact personal and professional relationships, leading to better social interactions and career opportunities. Additionally, cosmetic procedures often improve oral health by correcting alignment and bite issues, reducing the risk of dental problems. The long-term benefits of a healthy, attractive smile far outweigh the initial costs, making it a valuable investment in your well-being.
