At Blaisdell Family Dentistry in Boise, our smile makeover patients believe that life-changing cosmetic dentistry is a worthwhile investment. Indeed, for most people, the value of a healthy, attractive smile cannot be measured in dollars. We acknowledge, 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.

We offer the following services:

porcelain veneers
prepless veneers
teeth whitening

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

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

Dental bonding is typically less pricey than porcelain veneers or dental crowns. Call us at 208-377-9696 to discuss cosmetic dental financing options.

Beware of brand-new Boise area practices that advertise uncommonly low prices for dental bonding, veneers, or dental implants. The skill 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 makeover.

Tooth Whitening
Most Boise people are aware that there are several different tooth whitening methods. Lynn R. Blaisdell recommends scheduling a tooth whitening consultation to discuss your options. Even inexpensive OTC tooth bleaching systems can be misused and result in tooth sensitivity, damage to tooth enamel, and irregular coloration.

Regarding the cost of teeth whitening: if you decide on 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.
