Tooth-Colored Fillings
A simple filling should not leave a permanent dark scar on your smile. At our Sedalia, MO dental office, we use tooth-colored fillings to repair cavities while leaving your smile looking natural.
We match the filling material to your teeth perfectly so it blends right in. We can even use tooth-colored composite to make small repairs to your teeth.
- Chips
- Gaps
- Misshapen teeth
- Cavities
Unlike old silver fillings, no one will see your dentistry when you laugh or smile!
Porcelain Crowns
If you have broken or worn teeth, we can restore comfort and beauty by protecting your teeth with tooth-colored porcelain crowns.
Dental crowns completely cover a damaged tooth caused by fracture, decay, or wear. Choosing a dental crown can prolong the life of your tooth and make chewing more comfortable.
You can learn more about dental crowns on our Dental Crowns page.
Tooth-Replacement Options
A missing tooth can make you self-conscious, but it can also put your oral health at risk. When you lose a tooth, your remaining teeth can shift and cause problems with your bite. You can also lose valuable bone, giving your face a sunken appearance.
We offer tooth-replacement options to improve your oral health and complete your smile.
We can help you determine which tooth-replacement option will work best for you and your lifestyle!
Teeth Whitening
A fast and affordable way to improve your smile is whitening your teeth. We use the best professional whitening systems available and can find one that works for you.
In-office teeth whitening - Our in-office teeth whitening system provides instant results for our patients who want to have whiter teeth in one appointment.
Custom take-home teeth whitening - We use professional bleach to give you whiter teeth at home when it is convenient for you. This option is more affordable and you can keep your trays for future touch-ups.
Learn more about teeth whitening on our Teeth Whitening page.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers can give you a whole new look. For patients who want to have a perfect celebrity smile, veneers provide great results. Veneers are thin porcelain restorations that cover the front of your teeth completely and can address a wide range of cosmetic concerns.
- Crooked teeth
- Deeply stained teeth
- Worn or damaged teeth
- Misshapen teeth
- Crowding

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do you offer any non-surgical ways to improve my smile?
Cosmetic dentistry is a beautiful way to enhance your appearance healthily and naturally.
There are many options for changing your smile, but two standard non-surgical methods include:
Professional teeth whitening is an affordable way to brighten your teeth in just under an hour. This is the least invasive cosmetic treatment that still offers a significant change to your look. With proper care and maintenance, you can enjoy your whiter teeth for up to a year!
Minimal to no-prep veneers can be an excellent choice for the ideal case. Veneers can cover up uneven or misaligned teeth, gaps in your smile, and extremely stained enamel. Because veneers are porcelain "sheaths," they cover the front surface of your tooth and mask any imperfections. Traditionally, veneers required your Sedalia, MO, dentist to shave off a small portion of your enamel to bond the veneer, but we also offer "no-prep" veneers that do not require this.

My teeth are chipped and worn. What cosmetic treatment helps?
In cases where teeth are chipped and worn, it is essential to get a comprehensive exam to evaluate the bite. Many times it is necessary to treat the back teeth as well as to protect the front teeth from further destruction. In these cases, Dr. Ehlers typically recommend night guards as well to avoid further enamel erosion.
Once we've established why your teeth have been chipped, we can work on cosmetic dental treatments to cover your worn teeth and refresh your smile. Porcelain veneers are an excellent cosmetic option that changes the look of your teeth and offers protection to your weakened tooth. Our patients in Sedalia are often pleased with the natural-looking results veneers can give them.
In cases of extremely damaged teeth, dental crowns can cover the entire surface of the tooth and prevent any more wear-and-tear. Dr. Ehlers will be able to recommend the right cosmetic option for you.
If you're interested in cosmetic treatment, call Tiger Family Dental to schedule your appointment in Sedalia, MO today. We can help determine where wear-and-tear is coming from and help prevent further damage. Cosmetic treatments can make your smile look as good as new while protecting and stabilizing your already weakened teeth.

Will my insurance pay for cosmetic treatments?
Typically, insurance will not pay for cosmetic dental services. Tiger Family Dental does, however, offer CareCredit to help finance treatment plans that can be difficult to pay for at the time of service.
CareCredit is a credit card for your healthcare that allows you to pay for out-of-pocket dental expenses for you and your whole family. Even pets can have veterinary care paid for with CareCredit; this card can cover many different healthcare needs beyond dental care. This is a great way to obtain oral and general health services that are not covered by health insurance. This financing option enables patients to make payments over 6, 12, 18 or 24 months with zero interest as long as minimum payments are made, and the bill is paid in full at the agreed-upon time.
Our highly trained and skilled dental staff in Sedalia is happy to help you go through the approval process and determine what information is necessary.
If you're interested in discussing financing options for dental treatment, call Tiger Family Dental to schedule your appointment in Sedalia, MO today. We will work with you to get you the cosmetic dental treatment you want, at the price you can afford.
