Build a Treatment Plan Around Your Needs

The right dental treatment begins with a complete understanding of your smile. We evaluate your teeth, gums, bite, existing dental work, and any areas that are damaged, missing, or causing discomfort.

Our prosthodontists use these findings to create a personalized plan that improves how your smile looks, feels, and functions while protecting your long-

When you need a fixed replacement for missing teeth and an implant may not be the preferred option

When the underlying teeth are healthy but you want to improve their visible shape, color, size, or symmetry
Tooth Reshaping
Cosmetic
Small chips, uneven edges, minor overlaps, or teeth that appear slightly too long or irregular

Insurance & Payment Options

Dental insurance may help lower the cost of certain treatments, but coverage varies by plan. Our team will help you review your benefits, understand any limitations, and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before moving forward.

  • Dental procedures: Routine exams, cleanings, fillings, and X-rays are often covered as preventive or basic care. Your benefits may depend on deductibles, annual maximums, network requirements, and frequency restrictions.
  • Restorative procedures: Care that repairs damaged teeth or replaces missing teeth may qualify for partial coverage. Depending on your plan, benefits may apply to crowns, bridges, dentures, implants, or portions of a full-mouth rehabilitation.
  • Cosmetic procedures: Treatments performed mainly to improve appearance are usually not covered. Veneers, tooth reshaping, and cosmetic smile planning often fall into this category.

For costs not covered by insurance, Legacy Prosthodontics offers financing and payment options to help make treatment more manageable.

Choose A Care Plan Based on the Full Picture

Before creating your treatment plan, we closely examine every aspect of your smile, including tooth structure, bone support, bite alignment, previous restorations, and aesthetic concerns.

Our prosthodontists then compare the available procedures and determine which approach best fits your needs and goals. You will have time to review the benefits of each option, ask questions, and make an informed decision.
