1-Is the cost of modifying a smile design prohibitive?
The cost of smile design correction depends on the degree of maxillofacial deformity, the type of deformity, the length of treatment, the inclination of the teeth, the position of the jaw, the patient’s health status, the degree of crowding, the radiograph status of the patient, the time of patient referral, etc. It won’t cost you much if your smile is redesigned with simple teeth whitening or restoration. However, in cases of severe deformities of the upper jaw and teeth, the cost of correcting the smile design will be very expensive.
2- Is modifying the smile design with orthodontics or crowns and composites more expensive?
The appearance of your teeth can be corrected with a crown or composite of one or two teeth. In these cases, the cost of modifying the smile design using crowns and composites is less than the cost of orthodontics. But this is not cost-effective, because after a few years, due to the lack of corrective principles of jaw and teeth, the patient develops problems in the jaw and teeth. Problems such as tinnitus in the jaw and temporomandibular joint and dental wear are the effects of improper correction of smile design in a single session.
3-Is it more expensive to modify a smile design using implants or a crown?
The cost of correcting a smile design using dental implants is higher than the cost of dental crowns. Note: As long as the patient’s tooth root is healthy and treatable, the dentist will not remove the tooth and will not replace the previous tooth with the tooth.
4- Do insurance companies pay for smile design modification?
Insurance companies, such as a social security company, usually pay for tooth extractions or fillings in their health centers. The terms of payment of smile design modification fees are also different in different supplementary insurance contracts. For example, some of Dr. Jamilian’s contractors pay for orthodontic smile correction.
