Is cosmetic dentistry affordable?

Providing patients with healthy teeth and gums is our most important job, but we also want each of our patients to feel confident about their smile. However, many patients won’t entertain the thought of cosmetic procedures because they assume that aesthetic dentistry isn’t within their means.

Just like restorative and preventative dentistry, cosmetic dentistry varies in cost. For example, professional whitening and dental bonding usually fall on the lower end of the spectrum, whereas veneers and Invisalign are a bit pricier. Dr. Ragsdale can create a treatment plan that will improve your smile, while also fitting your budget.

We offer dental financing plans to make dental treatments affordable. CareCredit® offers short-term financing options with no interest as long as the payments are on time. Low-interest plans allow longer periods to pay.
