Seniors frequently use our services and are delighted to find that there are many ways to restore their damaged teeth and replace missing ones. There used to be very few options available for replacing missing teeth, however, cosmetic dentistry has opened the door to solutions that are permanent, durable, and natural looking.

Some people hear the word cosmetic and assume that Dr. Dechavez only treats people that are looking to create a Hollywood smile. While Dr. Dechavez 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 person’s appearance, cosmetic dental procedures can restore the functionality of teeth and the self-confidence of our patients. Accidents as well can damage, break, and chip teeth. It is important to visit a dentist that can restore teeth in a natural way, and Dr. Dechavez can take care of that. Don’t let cosmetic dental prices guide your choice in a dentist because cheaper isn’t necessarily better. Dr. Dechavez has a reputation for completing restorations in a way that makes teeth appear so natural, no one can tell there was ever anything wrong with them. Dr.Dechavez and the staff at GSmile Dental have earned this reputation for excellence. This can be a lifesaver for people that want to live an active lifestyle and maintain the appearance they had prior to the accident. We do, however, recommend that if you damaged your tooth, you call (929) 388-1255 to schedule an appointment right away. The faster you can come into our dental office, the more options you will have for restoring the damaged tooth.

Cosmetic dentistry has also improved preventative care and how people are treated overall. In the past, old fashioned metal tools were used for dental treatments. Now, as cosmetic dentists, we look for ways to improve the patient’s 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. Dr. Dechavez treats patients with compassion and care.

From painless teeth cleanings to performing major dental work in comfort, we make our patients our top priority.
The second most common disease in the United States is cavities. The first is the common cold. Ask us about esthetic filling options.
As an experienced dentist, Dr. Dechavez understands that when patients have healthy teeth, their teeth will be less likely to become damaged or fall out. With over 70% of U.S. adults experiencing some form of tooth loss, preventative care is that much more important. We recommend that patients schedule an appointment with our office to have their teeth cleaned at least twice a year. During these regular appointments, we can remove surface stains, bacteria, and plaque that hide in hard to reach places. We can also look for signs of gum disease and cavities so that if present, 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 GSmile Dental 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. Sometimes, taking these few extra minutes can make a positive impact on our patients’ oral health, and that is something that excites us.
Tetracycline (antibiotic) staining, excessive fluoride and old fillings are just a few reasons why teeth appear dark.

Like most services, cost varies based on the amount of time required and the difficulty of the procedure(s). Generally, improving a smile requires a combination of treatment options such as bleaching, reshaping gums, and using bonded materials (resin or porcelain) to improve the appearance of the teeth. A great way to start is by having a consultation with our dentist to determine how you can reach your goals.
Most dental insurance has very low total benefits per year, which may offset the cost for regular checkups, but probably won’t pay toward cosmetic services. We will work to maximize your benefits, and may have suggestions for alternative methods of financing so you can obtain the treatment of choice. Learn more about dental insurance and financing.
