The Truth About Cosmetic Dentistry
Some people hear the word cosmetic and assume that Marc Bianco only treats people that are looking to create a Hollywood smile. While Marc Bianco is a talented cosmetic dentist, this field of dentistry involves much more than creating a stunning appearance. It is true that most Hollywood stars have used cosmetic dental procedures to improve their smile, but these procedures accomplish far more than that.

Beyond basic cosmetic procedures aimed at changing a persons’ appearance, cosmetic dental procedures can restore the functionality of teeth and the self-confidence of our patients. People throughout Oregon visit Dental Health Associates, PC after they have been in an accident and have damaged their tooth. The American Dental Association reports that the majority of adults that damage their teeth do so while playing sports, meaning that anyone can have a tooth break or chip at any time – regardless of how careful they are. Car wrecks, slip and fall accidents, and workplace injuries are additional ways that teeth can become damaged and when they do, it is important to visit a dentist that understands how to restore teeth in a natural way.

How to Choose a Cosmetic Dentist: Don’t let cosmetic dental prices guide your choice in a dentist because cheaper isn’t necessarily better. Be sure to look at a cosmetic dentist’s book of “before and after” photos; inquire about his or her participation in continuing education courses; and ask for references.

Marc Bianco and the staff at Dental Health Associates, PC have earned this reputation for excellence, leading people throughout Portland OR to schedule appointments after damaging their teeth.

The faster you can come into our dental office, the more options you will have for restoring the damaged tooth. This is especially true if you had a tooth fall out and are trying to save it.

Preventative Care
Cosmetic dentistry has also improved preventative care and how people are treated overall. In the past, old fashioned metal tools were used for everything. Now, as a cosmetic dentists, we look for ways to improve the patient experience and leverage technology in order to do so. Some new techniques involve using a laser while dentists keep patients comfortable and relaxed through sedation. Marc Bianco treats patients in the 97233 area and does so with compassion and care. By identifying ways to improve the experience of every patient, Marc Bianco and the staff at Dental Health Associates, PC continue to make visiting the dentist easier and more enjoyable. From painless teeth cleanings to performing major dental work in comfort, we make our patients our top priority.

As an experienced dentist, Marc Bianco understands that when patients have healthy teeth, their teeth will be less likely to become damaged or to fall out. With over seventy percent of U.S. adults experiencing some form of tooth loss, preventative care is that much more important. We recommend that patients throughout Oregon schedule an appointment with our local Portland office to have their teeth cleaned at least twice a year. During these regular appointments, we can remove surface stains, bacteria, and plaque that like to hide in hard to reach places. We can also look for signs of gum disease and cavities so that if any are present, they can be treated right away. Keeping teeth healthy is important because healthy teeth are strong teeth, and strong teeth are at less of a risk for falling out.

While cosmetic dentistry is typically viewed as a way to create a beautiful and perfect smile, taking the time to focus on preventative care is something that we are passionate about. The entire staff at Dental Health Associates, PC takes the time to educate patients about what they can do at home to stay in good oral health and as a result, we are able to reduce the risk of cavities and gum disease in patients throughout the 97233 area. Sometimes, taking these few extra minutes can make a positive impact on our patients’ oral health, and that is something that excites us.

A: A wide variety of options are available to improve tooth function and how your smile looks. Ask us about what options are available.

Q: How much does it cost to get a great smile?
A: Like most services, cost varies based on the amount of time required and the difficulty of the procedure(s).

Q: I have dental insurance. Will it pay for my new smile?
