Find the Right Dental Treatment for Your Needs
Invisalign
Do you want straighter teeth without the hassle of metal braces? Invisalign uses clear, plastic aligners to gently shift your teeth into place without anyone knowing. These custom-made aligners are easily removable and can be popped on and off in seconds, making eating and oral hygiene a breeze. For patients who want to accelerate their treatment process, Dr. Ip offers Propel Orthodontics. This innovative treatment stimulates the bone surrounding your teeth, expediting the straightening process.
Veneers
Dental veneers are a versatile treatment that can address various issues such as chips, gaps, discoloration, and more. Made of ultra-thin porcelain shells that are bonded to the front teeth, veneers can give you the luminous smile you've been dreaming of. Our dentist utilizes advanced CEREC® technology to take accurate impressions of your teeth, ensuring that your veneers will be a flawless fit. Because our veneers are made of stunning porcelain, your teeth will have a natural shine and translucency that truly transforms your appearance.
Teeth Whitening
If you are concerned about discoloration and staining, teeth whitening can help you achieve a radiant smile and boost your self-esteem. Whitening your teeth with the help of a dentist is far more effective and safer than using over-the-counter whitening treatments. Our dentist will help select a shade that enhances your features for a natural look. Patients can enjoy results in just one dental visit, making it a convenient option for last-minute events.

View On GoogleWhat Is the Cost of Cosmetic Dentistry?
The cost of cosmetic dental care depends on which procedures are selected. For example, teeth whitening will cost less than a more extensive treatment such as a smile makeover.
We are upfront about all our dental costs and will provide you with an estimate during your consultation, so you know exactly what to expect. Our Austin office offers financing options for Invisalign to help make treatment more affordable. Cosmetic treatments are usually not covered by insurance, but treatments with restorative benefits may qualify for coverage. Our staff is happy to answer any dentistry questions you have to ensure you get the most out of your insurance.

How Does Cosmetic Dentistry Differ
From Restorative Dentistry?
Both cosmetic and restorative dentistry can completely transform your smile, but they do so in different ways. While cosmetic dentistry focuses on the aesthetics of your smile, restorative dentistry focuses on improving the health of your smile.
Before receiving any cosmetic treatments, every patient needs to be in good oral health. Restorative treatment can greatly improve the health of your teeth and gums, restoring your candidacy for cosmetic dentistry. Dr. Ip may recommend periodontal treatment, dental implants, or full mouth reconstruction before you can receive cosmetic care.
After any structural concerns have been addressed, you can explore your cosmetic dentistry options with Dr. Ip.
Frequently Asked Questions
About Cosmetic Dentistry
Does cosmetic treatment hurt?
No. Most of our cosmetic dentistry treatments are virtually painless, though some can create slight discomfort that is easily managed. For example, Invisalign can cause mild soreness as your teeth adjust, but this should fade within a few days. If at any time you experience pain, please let our team know so we can promptly address your concerns.
Why doesn't dental insurance cover cosmetic dentistry?
Most dental insurance plans do not cover cosmetic dentistry as it is not typically considered medically necessary. However, insurance may cover treatments that are beneficial to your oral health, such as Invisalign for a teen with crowded teeth.
How long will my results last?
This will vary based on your type of treatment. For example, with Invisalign, if you use your retainer once treatment is completed, your results can last a lifetime. In the case of veneers, with proper care and maintenance, they can last up to 15 years or more.
How long does treatment take?
Again, this will depend on your treatment. Invisalign takes, on average, 18 to 24 months. Veneers can typically be done in about two appointments. Teeth whitening takes about an hour, meaning patients can achieve a noticeably whiter smile in just one appointment.
I have some oral health concerns. Can you help me qualify for cosmetic treatment?
Yes. We offer comprehensive dentistry options to help patients achieve optimal oral health so that they can qualify for cosmetic treatment. In some cases, such as full mouth reconstruction, we can combine restorative and cosmetic dentistry to help you achieve the results you desire.
Are missing teeth considered cosmetic?
Missing teeth can impact your ability to properly eat and speak, so it is most often considered restorative. However, with restorative treatments like dental implants and a custom crown, bridge, or denture, patients not only enjoy better oral function, but a beautiful complete smile.

"I spent two years (and a LOT of Dr. Ip’s time) asking ALL of the questions about veneers. Every single time I went in for a cleaning, Dr. Ip would come in and go over all of my questions and concerns without any pressure for a commitment from me.
When I finally did commit, he spent even more time going over different options with me and the best way to get the absolute most value out of my investment. If you are in the market for an incredibly confident smile that is fully functional and healthy, Dr. Ip is the dentist you MUST go to! Do exactly what he suggests and you’ll find yourself smiling in the mirror for hours
