Frequently Asked Questions
What concerns can cosmetic dentistry address?
Cosmetic dentistry may improve stained, chipped, cracked, worn, misshapen, uneven, or mildly misaligned teeth. It can also address gaps, receding gumlines, and other concerns affecting the appearance of your smile.
How long does teeth whitening take?
Treatment time depends on the whitening system and your desired results. Customized take-home trays are often worn for approximately 30 minutes daily over several days, following the instructions provided by our team.
Will teeth whitening cause sensitivity?
Some patients experience temporary sensitivity while whitening. This occurs when the whitening agent passes through the enamel to reduce stains. Sensitivity typically improves within 24 to 48 hours after treatment.
How many veneers will I need?
The number of veneers depends on your smile goals and the number of visible teeth requiring treatment. Some patients may need six to ten veneers, while others may benefit from fewer or additional restorative procedures.
Is dental bonding permanent?
Dental bonding is durable but may eventually require polishing, repair, or replacement. Its lifespan depends on your bite, oral habits, diet, hygiene, and how well the bonded teeth are protected from damage.
Which cosmetic treatment is right for me?
The best option depends on your oral health, cosmetic concerns, budget, and treatment goals. Following a complete assessment, we will explain suitable procedures and recommend a personalized approach.
