Veneers
We can use customized veneers to hide imperfections and generate a new and improved smile. Using high-quality materials that look natural, last more than a decade, and are durable against daily wear and tear, these restorations can completely change the look of your teeth by altering their shape, color, and size, creating a one-of-a-kind smile that gives you the look you’ve always wanted.
Metal-Free Restorations
Metal restorations were once the only way to repair broken or decayed teeth; however, that is not the case anymore. Now, we can protect vulnerable teeth while improving your oral health and aesthetics. Instead of worrying about dark rings caused by silver or gold, our EMAX or zirconia crowns can create a seamless and beautiful result that can last 15-20 years.
Cosmetic Bonding
You might not think minor chips or stains need to be addressed, but if they are in visible areas of your smile, you may find that they become more of a nuisance over time. With cosmetic bonding, this non-invasive form of treatment uses composite resin to conceal flaws, allowing you to keep more of your natural tooth structure. Once sculpted into place, you’ll see that your smile looks brand-new – a task that can be easily completed in a single appointment.
Teeth Whitening
Dental stains and discoloration shouldn’t be what keeps you from making a good first impression. Offering both in-office and take-home whitening kits, Dr. Kiesel and our team can integrate high-powered bleaching gel to penetrate your enamel and effectively remove stains above and below the surface. No matter which method you choose, you can expect dramatic results that leave you with a showstopping smile.

Understanding the Cost of Teeth Whitening
It’s natural to want to know how much it will cost to brighten your grin, though the total amount depends significantly on your unique circumstances. Before proceeding, you must consult Dr. Peters to ensure you’re a good candidate for this treatment. Then, our team will provide detailed information for your approval.

Factors That Affect the Cost of Teeth Whitening
Although teeth whitening usually has predetermined pricing, various factors may affect the number of repetitions needed to achieve the desired results, such as:
- Additional services. Our team will examine your mouth to ensure no pre-existing problems, like cavities or gum disease, interfere with your results. You’ll be responsible for paying for any additional treatments based on our findings.
- The severity of the discoloration. Those with more deeply tinted teeth are likelier to require multiple applications, which increases the total due.
- The types of blemishes present. Extrinsic stains from consuming pigmented foods tend to respond well to topical solutions, but deeper intrinsic discoloration may require repeated treatments.
Types of Teeth Whitening and Their Pricing
Brightening your smile can improve your appearance and boost your confidence, but many patients wonder which is the best method to meet their needs. There are potentially several ways to lighten your enamel, each with their own pricing structures, as outlined in more detail below:
- In-office procedures. Many dentists offer topical treatments in the office for instant results, which often costs anywhere from $400 to $800 or more, depending on your needs.
- Professional take-home kits. Our team in Little Ferry provides everything you need to achieve top-quality results from home, often for a few hundred dollars.
- “Over-the-counter” trays. One-size-fits-all trays can sometimes be purchased for $100 or less.
- Store-bought products. Many stores and pharmacies carry boxes of strips or gels for $20 to $40.
Commercial-Grade vs. Professional Teeth Whitening
Many patients wonder whether it’s worth investing their resources in professional teeth whitening when there are other, less expensive options available. However, when it comes to cosmetic dentistry, the quality of a product is often reflected in its price.
Commercial-grade strips and gels may be cheaper, but they’re also often diluted and less likely to achieve consistent, reliable results. Then, you might inadvertently cause sensitivity by overapplying or misusing the product to compensate.
Meanwhile, Dr. Peters offers professional take-home kits with everything you need to achieve optimal results from the comfort of your living room, like custom-fitted trays for accurate application and ultra-concentrated gels designed to prevent potential sensitivity.
Options for Making Teeth Whitening Affordable
Upgrading your grin has additional unseen benefits, like boosting your confidence, which can improve your daily quality of life. Unfortunately, most dental insurance policies consider this treatment a luxury, because it’s intended to enhance your appearance more than boost your oral health, so they don’t cover the cost.
Our team believes that everyone deserves a beautifully bright smile they can feel proud of, regardless of their budget, so we’ve partnered with CareCredit to offer flexible financial plans. If your application is approved, this allows you to divvy your total invoice into more manageable installments.
Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs
Is Cosmetic Dentistry Expensive?
While many people assume that cosmetic dentistry must be incredibly expensive, this is not always the case. While cosmetic dental treatments are rarely covered by insurance policies because they are considered elective, these procedures come at a range of price points and can deliver priceless benefits by enhancing your appearance and self-esteem. Some patients find that improving the beauty of their smiles can help them land lucrative new jobs or juicy promotions, so your cosmetic dental work may wind up paying for itself. We also partner with CareCredit, Lending Club, and Sunbit to offer patients flexible financing options that can break their bills into easily manageable monthly installments.
Is Cosmetic Dentistry Covered by Insurance?
Dental insurance plans don’t typically cover elective procedures such as cosmetic dental treatments. However, your policy may offer some coverage if your treatment is intended to deliver oral health benefits, such as when veneers or metal-free restorations are used to restore damaged teeth. In these cases, treatments are usually covered by about 50 to 80%, but the actual rate varies depending on the particular insurance policy. We’ll be happy to help you navigate your insurance and financing options during your consultation so you can know exactly what your plan will pay for.
Is Cosmetic Dentistry Safe?
Cosmetic dental treatments are perfectly safe as long as they are performed by a qualified professional such as Dr. Kiesel. However, no treatment is right for every patient, so it’s important to have a consultation at our Coppell office so we can evaluate your oral health before recommending any procedure. Cosmetic services can cause significant damage if the patient has underlying oral health issues such as tooth decay or gum disease, so these infections will have to be resolved before any aesthetic treatment can begin. We’ll be happy to perform restorative work or periodontal therapy to address these problems if necessary.
If you’re interested in teeth whitening, it’s important to know that many store-bought brightening products are of inferior quality and can lead to injuries due to user error or poor manufacture. Professional whitening treatments, on the other hand, are totally customized to provide maximum safety as well as remarkable results.
How Long Does Cosmetic Dentistry Last?
The lifespan of the results of your cosmetic dental treatment depends on the procedure performed as well as your oral hygiene habits. Cosmetic bonding and teeth whitening can last for up to three years if you take excellent care of your smile, but veneers and metal-free restorations can last for a decade or more before needing replacement. The best ways to maximize the duration of your cosmetic dental results are to practice excellent dental hygiene, attend regular checkups at our Coppell office, avoid using your teeth to open packages or bottles, and limit your consumption of foods and beverages that can cause discoloration.
