Veneers
It’s an open secret why every actor, pro athlete, and well-known musician has perfectly straight, white teeth — many of them have dental veneers! You can now get this same cosmetic dentistry treatment and enjoy the same level of results with Dr. Rodda. One or more thin shells of porcelain will be attached to the front of your teeth, and they’ll be designed to enhance their shape, size, color, and spacing at the same time. All told, the entire veneers procedure can create a dramatic smile makeover in just two appointments.
Metal-Free Dental Restorations
In the past, a dental crown or filling that repaired a damaged tooth would accomplish the job of making the enamel stronger, but the metal always made it stick out in the smile. But today’s dental restorations are made using materials like porcelain and composite resin, both of which can be colored to look just like your enamel. This can create results that not only fix dental health issues, but uplift the appearance of your smile at the same time.
Teeth Whitening
Glo Teeth Whitening is able to deliver the kind of dramatic results that storebought kits and toothpastes promise but can’t deliver. With a quick in-office treatment or take-home set of trays designed just for you, Dr. Rodda can make longtime tooth stains disappear with professional-strength teeth whitening near Paradise Valley. You'll end up with a smile that is six to eight shades brighter, all while keeping you protected from tooth sensitivity.

Gum Recontouring
When it comes to the appearance of your smile, your gums matter almost as much as your teeth! An overbearing or uneven gumline can make even pristine teeth look too short and less than ideal. But with laser gum recontouring, Dr. Rodda can give your grin the perfect frame and proportions in a single appointment while keeping you as comfortable as possible.
Smile Makeovers
A smile makeover isn’t a single treatment, but rather a suite of cosmetic dentistry services that is designed to help a patient whose ideal look will require a few steps to achieve. If you have multiple dental imperfections that have bothered you for years, a smile makeover enables Dr. Rodda to take care of them as efficiently as possible rather than addressing them one by one, leading to a cohesive and gorgeous result you can trust will last for years to come.

Understanding the Cost of Cosmetic Dentistry
It’s common for patients to worry about the cost of cosmetic dentistry, because in most cases it is not covered by dental insurance. At Complete Dental Care, we’re happy to assist you in navigating your needs and developing a treatment plan that works best for your situation. We offer a variety of different services available at different price points but helping you achieve the confidence you deserve is priceless!
What Cosmetic Dental Service is Right for Me?
When it comes to cosmetic dentistry, most people are typically trying to accomplish one or more of three improvements: whiter teeth, straighter teeth, or differently shaped or sized teeth. At Complete Care Dental, Dr. Rodda can help you explore your possible options, including:
- Gum Recontouring – Laser gum recontouring can remove excess gum tissue that may leave your smile looking too gummy and your teeth looking small or uneven.
- Teeth Whitening – This treatment can be done either in-office or via a convenient take-home kit and can deliver amazing results in as little as one hour.
- Metal-Free Dental Restorations – Remove dark spots in your smile while protecting your teeth from cavities and decay with metal-free dental restorations.
- Veneers – Veneers can transform multiple aspects of your smile in one convenient treatment, including the shape, size, shade and spacing of your teeth.
- Smile Makeover – For patients who need multiple treatments to achieve their most dazzling smile, a smile makeover can be customized to suit your goals and budget.
Cosmetic Dentistry Can Be an Investment Worth Making
While cosmetic dentistry may seem like a big financial commitment, it’s also an important investment that will pay dividends in your oral health and self-confidence. If you feel self-conscious about your smile, these treatments can lead to amazing improvements in your self-esteem, giving you the confidence to improve your relationships, social life, and career.

Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs
Is Cosmetic Dentistry Expensive?
Many assume that cosmetic dentistry must be prohibitively expensive, but these treatments can be quite affordable. The pricey reputation of cosmetic procedures may stem from the fact that dental insurance policies do not usually provide any coverage for them, meaning that patients must pay out of pocket. While enhancing your grin may seem costly at first, cosmetic dentistry can deliver a range of benefits for your confidence and appearance that can pay dividends over time. For example, having a gorgeous smile can make it easier to make favorable first impressions at work, which can help the patient distinguish themselves from the competition when being considered for a new job or a promotion.
To help make cosmetic dentistry affordable, we offer flexible financing plans from CareCredit that can break your bill into small monthly payments. We also offer our in-house dental savings plan that covers your routine care and includes 20% off all other services.
Is Cosmetic Dentistry Covered by Insurance?
Since dental insurance policies do not typically provide coverage for elective procedures, they do not usually pay for cosmetic treatments. However, there can be exceptions if a treatment provides benefits for the patient’s oral health. If a metal-free restoration or veneer is used to restore and protect a tooth damaged by injury or decay, it may receive partial coverage. Gum recontouring may also qualify if it is used to restore the gumline after infection. In cases like these, treatments may be covered by 50% to 80%, but the actual rate depends on the details of the individual policy. The team at Complete Dental Care will be glad to help you go over your insurance plan so you can maximize your benefits.
Is Cosmetic Dentistry Safe?
Cosmetic dental treatments are completely safe for most patients as long as they are under the care of a skilled professional such as Dr. Rodda. Since no treatment is right for everyone, the process of receiving cosmetic dental services will always begin with a consultation at our office in Phoenix. During this meeting, Dr. Rodda will carefully evaluate your oral health and discuss your needs and preferences to determine the best way to address your concerns about your smile’s appearance. This prevents possible complications such as a veneer or crown sheltering a destructive oral infection or cavities exposing the vulnerable interiors of the teeth to powerful whitening agents.
How Do I Know if I Need Cosmetic Dentistry?
Anyone who is not completely satisfied with their smile may benefit from cosmetic dentistry, and the best way to know which treatments can help you is to schedule a consultation at our office in Phoenix. We can address stains with teeth whitening treatments that deliver results far superior to those of store-bought kits, and chipped or cracked teeth can be addressed with crowns or veneers. Cosmetic dentistry can also make you look younger by addressing conspicuous signs of age such as discoloration and enamel wear.
