Veneers are a common cosmetic procedure that allows patients to enhance their smile. Veneers only cover the front, visible part of your tooth; not only can they not address the tooth decay caused by a cavity, but if they are placed over an existing cavity or area of decay, the decay will continue to progress, causing the vener to fail. You may need to have the veneer removed, the cavity treated, then the veneer replaced, or, if it goes on too long, you may need to have the tooth removed entirely.Â
Prior to adding cosmetic veneers, it is important to first treat any cavities or other oral conditions, like gingivitis. Afterwards, a veneer can be placed for cosmetic purposes. Once you have a veneer, it is important to continue practicing good oral hygiene, including routine dental cleanings and exams, to make sure no decay develops under the veneer.Â
Dental crowns are considered restorative when they improve oral health and function, such as when crowns are used as an artificial tooth over a dental implant. Crowns are also often used to repair teeth that have been damaged from grinding and clenching or some other kind of injury. Â
Crowns are considered cosmetic dentistry when the crown is used primarily to improve the appearance of your smile, such as covering an uneven or misshapen tooth. Like veneers, crowns require some of the tooth to be filed down, but crowns require more of the natural tooth to be removed before they can be placed.
Cosmetic dentistry can fix a variety of issues related to the aesthetics of your smile, such as teeth that are:
Dental bonding is the most common cosmetic procedure used to correct slightly crooked or misaligned teeth. Dental bonding works by applying a resin to the natural tooth to help restore and reshape it, and it’s best for teeth with minor damage or that are only slightly crooked.
Cosmetic dentistry is limited in its ability to provide significant realignment, though, and can sometimes simply mask alignment issues rather than correct them. More serious misalignment problems that cannot be corrected with dental bonding may require orthodontic treatment like clear aligners or braces. Â

Dental insurance typically doesn’t cover procedures that aren’t medically necessary and that are mainly being done to enhance the appearance of the tooth as opposed to the function. For example, teeth whitening is never covered by dental insurance.Â
There are some instances when certain procedures could be either restorative, cosmetic, or both, and might be covered by dental insurance if they are restoring the function of your smile. Crowns or veneers to fix diseased, broken, or missing teeth, for example, will likely be covered even though these procedures could be considered cosmetic in other situations.Â
