Veneers
With dental veneers, it’s easy for us to make multiple improvements to your teeth in just a couple of appointments. A veneer is a thin ceramic shell that we can attach to the front of your tooth. We highly recommend veneers to many of our patients because they are extremely versatile and can be used to correct crooked, misshapen, discolored, misaligned, or chipped teeth. And since the shells are so lifelike, most people won’t realize that you’ve had cosmetic dentistry work done.
All-Ceramic Dental Crowns
Dental crowns made entirely out of ceramic material have several important advantages. Unlike metal crowns, a ceramic crown can be shaded to match the color of your enamel. Furthermore, they allow for better light transmission through the body of the tooth, which makes them look even more natural. When you need to have a tooth repaired, be sure to ask about our all-ceramic options.
Direct Bonding
Direct bonding is a simple procedure where a small amount of tooth-colored resin is applied to your teeth to cover up chips, stains, and other flaws. In many cases, direct bonding is a cost-effective option for anyone who only wants to make a few small improvements.

Invisalign Clear Aligners
Most adults don’t like the idea of wearing braces to straighten their teeth. Luckily, in many cases, we can use Invisalign to make the same kinds of changes with more image-friendly clear aligners. Not only are they virtually invisible when worn, but you can take them out of your mouth during meals, which means you’ll have the freedom to eat whatever you want throughout your treatment.
Teeth Whitening
Teeth can become discolored for a wide number of reasons, and in many cases, you can brighten them again with a professional teeth whitening treatment. Here at EMA Dental of Westfield, we’re proud to offer the Refresh Whitening Spa as an alternative to traditional teeth whitening. You can pick from one of several dazzling whitening options and have the treatment performed in an environment where you can just sit back and relax. In many cases, we’ll be able to improve the color of your smile by several shades in less than an hour.
Smile Makeovers
To create a truly stunning smile, we need to combine an artistic eye with scientific expertise. Our team fully understands the many nuances that can help your grin stand out in all the right ways. When you visit our office for a cosmetic dentistry consultation, we’ll listen carefully as you describe the changes you want to make, consider the available treatment options, and put together a unique plan to create the results you want. You can count on us to find the smile solution that’s truly right for you.

Gum Recontouring
Gums that cover too much of your enamel can end up having a less-than-positive impact on your grin. The good news is that there’s a very simple solution for a gummy smile: gum recontouring. We can gently remove the unneeded tissue and reveal more of the beautiful structure of your teeth. After we have reshaped your gumline, you’ll have a smile that you can be fully confident in.
Understanding the Cost of Cosmetic Dentistry
Transforming your smile does require a financial investment, but this doesn’t mean it is out of reach. The cost of cosmetic dentistry in Westfield varies based on the type of services you receive, as well as your smile goals. All of this will be discussed during your initial appointment so that you understand the expected cost and what we can do to help lower your out-of-pocket fees.
Which Cosmetic Dental Service is Right for Me?
Knowing which service is going to be the most beneficial requires meeting with our EMA Dental team to discuss your options. As you can see, there are many solutions we can use to enhance your aesthetics, each with its own price point:
- Veneers: Veneers cover the front surfaces of your teeth and are fully customized in an off-site lab. They can last 15+ years but require a small amount of tooth enamel to be removed for proper placement. They are considered one of the more expensive forms of cosmetic dentistry because they can change the size, shape, and color of your teeth.
- Teeth Whitening: More cost-effective than store-bought brands is professional teeth whitening at EMA Dental. We offer the Refresh Whitening Spa that allows you to choose one of our available options, which we will perform in-house. It takes only one hour and enhances your smile by multiple shades.
- All-Ceramic Dental Crowns: Instead of using traditional amalgam, our all-ceramic dental crowns provide a more lifelike aesthetic because of how the material closely matches your natural enamel. Depending on how many teeth require treatment, the cost can add up, but it’s also possible that dental insurance might help cover some of the cost if a tooth requires a crown because of damage or decay.
- Direct Bonding: One of the most affordable solutions is direct bonding. It uses composite resin that is applied directly to the enamel and hardened in a single appointment. The process is quick and easy, making it a great option if you only have one or two minor imperfections.
- Invisalign Clear Aligners: Misaligned teeth can have an unappealing aesthetic, so if you want to straighten your smile, you can use Invisalign Clear Aligners. As a costlier service, you can expect to pay more for treatment, but the clear trays will move your teeth to create a more visually beautiful appearance.
- Gum Recontouring: One of the great benefits of gum recontouring is that it does not require touch-ups. Creating an even gumline will be a financial investment, but it’s one you will never need to invest in again.
- Smile Makeover: Receiving a smile makeover is likely to be one of the costliest services we provide because of the customization that is required. Depending on how many treatment options you will need, the price for a new and improved smile will increase, but the result will be a priceless transformation you will not regret.
Cosmetic Dentistry Can Be an Investment Worth Making
Naturally, your primary focus when choosing cosmetic dentistry is to improve the appearance of your smile. However, there are far more benefits you can expect that make these services work the investment. Not only will you exude greater confidence once you see your new smile in the mirror, but you’ll also:
- Experience a boost in your mental health, as you’ll like what you see
- Feel more confident about taking advantage of opportunities to meet new people or apply for a job/promotion
- Be more approachable to others
- Be more inclined to take better care of your oral health
- Position your smile to be easier to clean, reducing your risk of decay, cavities, and gum disease
How to Make Cosmetic Dentistry Affordable
Dental insurance is unlikely to cover the cost of cosmetic dentistry. There are exceptions to this rule (i.e., an all-ceramic crown to repair a damaged or decayed tooth), but generally, out-of-pocket costs are to be expected. Fortunately, EMA Dental is pleased to partner with CareCredit and Lending Club. These flexible financing companies offer budget-friendly plans that make it easy to pay off the cost of your treatment over time.
