Cosmetic dentistry sits in an awkward spot with insurance. Most plans treat veneers, whitening, and aesthetic Invisalign as elective and cover nothing, which leaves the bill entirely on you. That reality drives the questions Snellville patients ask us first: what does cosmetic work actually cost, and how do households afford it? Heritage Family Dentistry runs cosmetic cases with pricing in writing before treatment begins, so you compare apples to apples and pay the number you were quoted.
What Cosmetic Dental Insurance Actually Covers
Plain answer: most cosmetic procedures fall outside dental insurance entirely. Whitening is classified as elective. Veneers placed for aesthetic reasons are not covered, though a veneer placed to repair a fractured tooth may qualify under restorative benefits. Invisalign coverage depends on your plan's orthodontic provision; some policies cover up to a lifetime maximum of $1,000 to $1,500, others contribute nothing.
We accept all PPO insurance, hold in-network status with Aetna PPO, Cigna PPO, and United Concordia PPO, and file claims for you. Our front desk runs a complimentary benefits check before treatment, so you see your actual coverage before deciding anything. If your plan covers part of an orthodontic case, we tell you the number in writing.
Cost Ranges and What Drives Them
Pricing varies by case, but order of magnitude helps. Single-tooth porcelain veneers range from several hundred to over a thousand dollars per tooth depending on the lab and the material. Invisalign treatment costs a few thousand for moderate cases and more for complex ones. Professional whitening in office runs significantly less than a single veneer. Specific pricing for your case comes after the consultation, in writing, with no obligation. We do not quote prices over the phone before examining your mouth, because the honest number depends on what we actually see.
If you've collected quotes elsewhere, bring them. Cosmetic prices vary because some quotes omit lab fees, follow-up visits, or the temporaries you wear during veneer fabrication, and a lower number sometimes covers less. Dr. Pickwick will line your quotes up item by item.
Meet Your Cosmetic Dentist
Dr. Erin Pickwick earned her DMD at the Medical College of Georgia in 2010 and completed a postgraduate residency through the University of Alabama and the Birmingham VA. She has practiced in Gwinnett ever since and formerly served as president of the Georgia Academy of General Dentistry. Leadership in organized dentistry comes with a useful side effect for patients comparing cosmetic prices: she knows what each treatment costs across the market, which makes her honest about why one quote runs higher or lower than another. Bring a quote from a Scenic Highway office to your consultation and she will walk through it with you, item by item.
Getting Here from Snellville
From Highway 78 in Snellville, take Grayson Parkway northeast into downtown Grayson, then turn onto Grayson Highway toward Lawrenceville. The office sits at 2023 Grayson Hwy, Suite 203, just past downtown on the Lawrenceville side. Patients near Webb Gin can also run up Scenic Highway 124 and cut over toward Grayson. [Routes and drive times: client to confirm before publishing.] Call (678) 336-1983 to start with a no-pressure consultation.
Financing the Smile You Want
For uninsured patients or amounts beyond what insurance covers, we offer financing through CareCredit with monthly payment options structured around your budget. Short interest-free terms work for smaller cases; longer plans spread full smile work over a year or two. Our front desk maps options to the specific treatment and amount before you commit. The $159 new patient comprehensive exam still applies if you walk in without insurance; the cosmetic consultation builds from that diagnostic foundation.
The Cosmetic Treatments We Provide
Cosmetic care at our office covers professional teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, and Invisalign clear aligners. Most patients combine treatments, since teeth shifted into the right position whiten more evenly and veneer well. Smile planning visits cost less than any single procedure, and you can stage treatment across months if cash flow matters more than speed.

Snellville Patient Questions
How much should I expect to pay for a single porcelain veneer?
A: Single porcelain veneers typically range from several hundred to over a thousand dollars per tooth, depending on the material and lab. Cases involving color matching to existing teeth sometimes cost more because they require additional planning. We provide written pricing for your specific case after the consultation, with no obligation to schedule treatment.
Do you offer payment plans for Invisalign?
A: Yes. We offer financing through CareCredit with monthly payment options, including interest-free terms for qualifying credit. The plan structure depends on the total amount and your preferred timeline. Bring household budget parameters to the consultation and our front desk maps options to fit.
Are there any cosmetic treatments my dental insurance might partially cover?
A: Invisalign is the most common partial-coverage scenario, since many PPO plans treat it as orthodontic. Coverage ranges from $0 to $1,500+ lifetime depending on your plan. Veneers used to repair fractured teeth (rather than purely aesthetic) sometimes qualify under restorative benefits. We verify your specific plan before treatment.
Will the $159 new patient special apply to a cosmetic consultation?
A: Yes for the diagnostic portion. The $159 covers your comprehensive exam and X-rays as a new patient. The cosmetic consultation that follows uses those records to plan treatment options and pricing. If you choose to proceed, treatment costs are quoted separately and in writing.
Why are some Snellville-area offices charging much less for veneers?
A: Veneer pricing varies by material (composite versus porcelain), lab quality, and what the quote actually includes. Composite veneers cost less but typically last five to seven years; porcelain runs higher upfront and lasts 10 to 15 years. Bring competing quotes to your consultation and we'll show you what's included in each number.
