Cosmetic Dental Options for Medicaid Patients

What Cosmetic Procedures Are Available?

Though Medicaid does not pay for elective or cosmetic treatments, our office proudly offers the following smile enhancement services at affordable, self-pay pricing:
Teeth Whitening

Safe, professional whitening to remove stains from coffee, tobacco, or aging — far more effective and longer-lasting than store-bought products.

Porcelain Veneers

Thin, custom-crafted covers placed over the front of your teeth to conceal chips, discoloration, gaps, or minor misalignment.

Tooth-Colored Restorations

If you need a filling or crown for medical reasons, we often use natural-looking materials that also improve appearance.

Composite Bonding

A cost-effective way to correct minor chips, cracks, or gaps using tooth-colored resin sculpted directly onto the tooth.

We’ll guide you through what’s possible — and offer creative solutions even when coverage doesn’t apply.

When Medicaid May Contribute

While purely cosmetic services are not covered, some restorative procedures with cosmetic benefits may be:

Extractions or dentures that restore smile balance
We’ll help you understand which parts of your treatment may be covered — and offer cosmetic upgrades as an optional enhancement when available.
