Does insurance cover cosmetic dentistry?

Most dental insurance plans don't cover purely cosmetic procedures, but our cosmetic dentist in Zachary, LA, can help you explore options that make your dream smile surprisingly affordable.

When Insurance Might Help

  • Restorative Work with Cosmetic Benefits — If you need a crown due to decay or damage, insurance often covers the basic restoration. You might pay a small upgrade fee for premium materials that look more natural.
  • Functional Improvements — Some bite correction treatments or TMJ therapy may qualify for coverage when medically necessary.
  • Accident-Related Damage — Trauma-related cosmetic repairs sometimes receive partial coverage.

Making Cosmetic Dentistry Accessible

Flexible Financing Options: We offer Cherry and CareCredit payment plans that let you spread costs over manageable monthly payments, often with promotional interest-free periods.

Conservative Approaches: Not every smile makeover requires extensive work. Sometimes:

  • Bonding can address minor chips or gaps instead of veneers.
  • Professional whitening creates dramatic results at a fraction of the cost.
  • Veneers may be used instead of clear aligners to correct the appearance of slightly misaligned teeth.
