Cosmetic Dentistry for a Brighter Smile in Phoenix
Cosmetic dentistry in Phoenix focuses on how your teeth look, such as their color, shape, size, alignment, and overall smile harmony. It often overlaps with restorative work (like crowns and bridges), but the main goal is beauty and confidence.
There are many local practices, but what sets excellent providers like Dental Therapy apart is our attention to both function and aesthetics, and to make sure your smile not only looks great but also works well for years.

Cosmetic Dentistry Payment and Insurance Options
Most dental insurance plans exclude cosmetic care, and about 80 percent list treatments like whitening and veneers as not covered. But if a procedure also repairs a tooth, such as a crown for a cracked tooth in Phoenix or bonding for a chip, insurance may cover 50 to 80 percent of the cost.

Posted on Google Benjamin LinaacTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Although the clinic is a little bit far from my home, I still prefer to go , for so many reasons. Cleanliness is one. The most important, they know what is best for you and be satisfied,Posted on Google Shirlee BaluyotTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Whiting was compassionate, gentle & very informative. This is my second appointment & am giving her 5 stars again! Brenda her assistant is helpful & friendly. I highly recommend this dental practice especially cause it's a female owned, small business that accepts most dental insurance. Thanks again Dr. Whiting for your amazing bedside manner & sharing your depth of knowledge regarding my dental care needs!Posted on Google Jordan KnightTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I went in for the first time at 34 years old as someone who is terrified of the dentist and absolutely intolerant for any kind of oral pain. I recommend this office 1000%. I was told things about my teeth gums and jaw that I had never heard prior from any dentist. I don’t say that lightly as I had braces for five years and two oral surgeries prior to visiting this office, and she was the only one to not only talk to me in depth about my bite, my jaw, muscles and my gums, but she also told me things to watch out for And an abundance of things to do to help alter and correct my negative habits I will never go to another dentist in the Phoenix area again when you find something that works, you don’t change it. This dentist office is a true hidden gym and I recommend them to everyone I know. I had my second appointment today over a year and a half after my first and might I say this appointment was even better than last time.
