Find the Best Way to Restore Your Smile
The best option for your smile depends on what is damaged, missing, worn, or affecting your confidence. We also consider your gum health, bite alignment, existing dental work, and the results you hope to achieve.
As prosthodontists, we are trained to address both the appearance and function of your teeth. This allows us to compare your options and create a personalized plan that may involve one treatment or several coordinated procedures.
Plan for the Cost of Your Dental Care
Every dental insurance plan has its own coverage limits, exclusions, and out-of-pocket requirements. Our Georgetown team can help you understand what your plan may pay and what you may be responsible for before treatment starts.
- Dental procedures: Preventive and general care, including cleanings, exams, X-rays, and fillings, is often eligible for coverage. Copays, deductibles, yearly limits, and service restrictions may still apply.
- Restorative procedures: Insurance may help with treatments that rebuild or replace teeth, such as crowns, bridges, dentures, implants, or full-mouth reconstruction. The amount covered depends on the reason for treatment and the terms of your policy.
- Cosmetic procedures: Treatments chosen mainly to improve tooth color, shape, or symmetry are generally paid for out of pocket. This often includes veneers, reshaping, and elective smile enhancements.
Flexible financing can help divide remaining treatment costs into more manageable payments.
What Shapes Your Personalized Treatment Plan
Before recommending care, the Legacy Prosthodontics team evaluates the health, structure, and function of your entire smile. We consider bone support, gum health, previous restorations, bite alignment, and the changes you hope to see.
These findings help us determine whether one procedure or a combination of treatments will best meet your needs. We walk you through each appropriate option, including its purpose and benefits, before you choose how to move forward.

Straightforward Answers to Common Dental Questions
Are dental procedures covered by insurance?
Insurance coverage varies depending on your provider and your dental needs. Most restorative services qualify for partial coverage, while cosmetic treatments are often considered elective. We’ll review your benefits and explain your options before moving forward.
Do you offer same-day crowns or dental implants?
Yes, our in-house lab allows us to create same-day crowns and dental implants with precision and efficiency. You’ll leave your appointment with a restoration that looks natural and feels comfortable right away.
What is the difference between a prosthodontist and a dentist?
A prosthodontist restores and replaces teeth using implants, bridges, and full-mouth reconstructions. While a general dentist focuses on preventive and routine care, a prosthodontist handles more complex cases.
Do I need a referral to see a prosthodontist?
No, you don’t need a referral to schedule an appointment with us. You can reach out directly to set up a consultation and learn which treatment options are best for your smile.
What should I expect at my first visit with Legacy Prosthodontics?
During your first visit, we’ll get to know you, review your dental history, take digital scans if needed, and discuss solutions to restore your comfort and confidence in your smile.
