for Cosmetic Dentistry?

Fear and cost concerns are natural when considering cosmetic work. Our dentist in Kansas City, MO, addresses these head-on through careful listening and thorough explanation of treatment options.

Budgeting for
Cosmetic Dentistry?
Treatment-Specific Pricing
Cosmetic dentistry costs vary significantly based on the procedure. Porcelain veneers start at $1,650 per tooth, while porcelain crowns cost $1,500 per tooth. Teeth whitening, clear aligners, and other treatments fall at different price points. During your consultation, Dr. Goodman will provide a clear cost estimate for your specific goals and the number of teeth involved.
What Influences Your Cost
The price reflects multiple factors: the complexity of your case, the number of teeth being treated, any preparatory work needed, the materials used, and the skill level required. Premium materials like high-quality porcelain and collaboration with a high-end dental laboratory justify the investment, as they produce results that look naturally beautiful and last for years.
Insurance Reality Check
Cosmetic dentistry is typically considered elective and is not covered by most dental insurance plans. Unlike restorative procedures that address decay or damage, cosmetic work focuses purely on appearance. However, some hybrid procedures may qualify for partial coverage. Our team can help navigate any available benefits.
CareCredit® Financing
Cost shouldn't prevent you from achieving the smile you want. We offer flexible financing through CareCredit®, which allows you to spread your treatment investment across multiple months with manageable payments. This makes comprehensive cosmetic work accessible without the burden of a large upfront cost, and you can begin your smile transformation right away.

I can't say enough good things about John Goodman and his staff. They were all extremely kind and courteous and made my experience very smooth. To top it off, I left my wallet behind after I left and it had fallen behind a chair. I managed to get a hold of Dr. Goodman and he took the time on his day off to go to his office, find my wallet, and wait for me while I came to get it from him! #notallheroeswherecapes

Featured Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures
To achieve results patients love, Dr. Goodman helps them visualize their final smile using photography, other cases featured on our website, and a diagnostic wax-up of the teeth. We also rely on great communication and careful listening so we can create a treatment plan that meets the patient's goals, lifestyle, and budget.
There are several treatment options available, depending on the needs of the individual. Here are some of the most commonly performed dentistry procedures at our Kansas City practice.
Porcelain Veneers
If you want to conceal chips, cracks, or stains, dental veneers may be the solution. These restorations are made of lifelike porcelain and fit snugly over the front surfaces of the teeth. That means they’re also a great way to improve the appearance of misshaped, gapped, or slightly misaligned teeth.
In addition to traditional veneers, we also offer same-day veneers at our Kansas City dental office. Veneers from John Goodman, D.D.S. cost approximately $1,650 per tooth.
Dental Bonding
Dental bonding is a cost-effective alternative to veneers that can correct or conceal many of the same issues. Instead of creating porcelain restorations, Dr. Goodman will apply thin layers of tooth-colored resin to the treated tooth. He’ll then harden it with a special light for a seamless blend.
Dental bonding does not require any alteration of the natural tooth structure, and results typically last about five years.
Snap-On Smile
Snap-On Smile® can instantly transform the look of your teeth. This affordable custom-crafted device is designed to have the precise look you desire and is worn much like an aligner or slim mouthguard. Simply place your Snap-On Smile over your teeth when you want to wear it, and then easily remove it whenever you choose.
Snap-On Smile is a great option if you want to put your best smile forward while undergoing a larger treatment plan, or while on a limited budget.
Clear Aligners
Our Kansas City, MO, dental practice offers clear aligners much like Invisalign® so patients can discreetly address orthodontic problems like overlapped, jutted, twisted, or gapped teeth. Clear aligners like Invisalign can also address bite issues such as underbite and overbite.
Aligners are virtually invisible when worn, completely removable, and come with no dietary restrictions during treatment.
Gum Contouring
If you feel like you have an uneven gumline or a “gummy” smile, our dentist can perform gum contouring to restore balance and symmetry.
Dr. Goodman uses a laser for gum contouring instead of traditional treatment methods for better comfort and accuracy while creating a more attractive frame for your teeth.
Smile Makeover
A smile makeover is a customized plan that combines multiple cosmetic treatments to completely transform your smile. You can choose from procedures like teeth whitening, veneers, and gum contouring as well as restorative offerings like dental crowns.
Our dentist will carefully plan your makeover to meet your dental goals. Your input is essential, so we’ll ask you to describe the smile you wish to achieve in great detail.
What About Missing Teeth?
/
A missing tooth can draw attention to your smile like nothing else. Dr. Goodman is happy to help you fill in the gaps with dental implants, or prosthetic tooth roots. They support crowns, bridges, or dentures that are made to match your natural teeth and don’t slip or slide around when you eat or speak.

Proper post-treatment aftercare helps ease the recovery process and maintain your beautiful smile.
Cut Down on Teeth-Staining Drinks
Drinking tea, coffee, soda, fruit juice, and other dark or sugary beverages can discolor your teeth. You may be advised to avoid certain beverages for at least 24 hours after your cosmetic dentistry procedure.
Avoid Smoking and Tobacco Use
Cigarettes and other tobacco products can easily stain teeth. Discoloration caused by smoking may even be the reason for visiting our dentist in Kansas City, MO, in the first place.
Use Whitening Toothpaste
An easy way to keep your teeth looking white after a cosmetic dental procedure is to invest in whitening toothpaste. Everyday use of whitening toothpaste may increase tooth sensitivity, so consult your dentist first.
Protect Your Teeth from Harm
Biting your nails, chewing on ice, using your teeth to open stubborn packages, and similar actions can damage teeth and dental restorations. Be wary of especially sticky or hard foods, and be conscientious while chewing.
Schedule Regular Dental Visits
By visiting our Kansas City cosmetic dentist periodically for checkups, any potential problems will be found and addressed early on before turning into larger issues. Moreover, professional cleanings will keep your teeth and gums looking great.
