What Types of Procedures Are Included in Cosmetic Dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry includes any treatment that enhances and beautifies your smile. These may involve:

  • Teeth whitening
  • Veneers
  • Caps
  • Crowns and bridges
  • Dentures
  • Inlays and onlays
  • Invisalign® system

While these procedures aren’t restorative, they enhance your overall appearance. Moreover, they correct minor imperfections that take away from your smile. Many treatments are minimally invasive and require only a short recovery period.

When Are Cosmetic Procedures Covered by Insurance?

Typically, cosmetic dental procedures are considered elective and not covered by insurance. However, if you’ve undergone significant corrective surgery and need a cosmetic procedure to create a more natural look, your plan might include coverage.

If a cosmetic procedure happens as part of a restorative treatment, Dr. Gundersen can bill the insurance appropriately and classify the service as medically necessary rather than elective.

Example of Insurance Coverage

For example, consider a patient recovering from a disfiguring accident. After repairing the structural damage, Dr. Gundersen may recommend a cosmetic procedure to fully restore the patient’s natural appearance. In this situation, insurance may help with the cost.

Dr. Gundersen can answer your questions about these procedures and offer clear, practical advice on which options suit your needs best.

I continue to be amazed at the excellence of care I experience every time I visit. To begin with, I am a difficult patient as I have dental anxiety, sensitive teeth, and chronic pain. Nevertheless, the doctor and his team have intentionally built trust with me, and as a result, I felt able to come to my appointment.

Since Dr. Gunderson is my dentist, naturally, I'd not want to go anywhere else for dental care. Indeed, he is gentle, knowledgeable, kind, professional, and has a good sense of humor—he's simply the best. Recently, I saw Dental Hygienist Noe at his office and felt exactly the same way about her care.
