How long do cosmetic dental treatments typically last?

The longevity of cosmetic dental treatments varies based on the procedure and individual factors. For instance, fillings might last 5-10 years, while veneers can last up to 20 years or more with proper care. Regular check-ups and good oral hygiene are key to maximizing their lifespan.

Will a porcelain crown look natural next to my other teeth?

Absolutely! Porcelain crowns are custom-designed to match the shade, shape, and size of your surrounding teeth, ensuring a seamless and natural integration with your smile.

Can veneers become discolored over time?

Porcelain veneers are stain-resistant and typically don't discolor. However, the cement used to bond them can stain if not properly cared for. Regular cleanings and avoiding stain-causing agents, like tobacco and certain beverages, will help maintain their bright appearance.

How long does a full smile makeover take?

The duration of a smile makeover varies based on the procedures involved and individual patient needs. It could be as short as two appointments for teeth whitening and bonding, or span several months for more comprehensive treatments like orthodontics and implants. A detailed plan will give you a clearer timeline.

How is teeth bonding different from veneers?

Teeth bonding involves applying and sculpting a tooth-colored resin directly onto the tooth surface, whereas veneers are thin shells of porcelain that are bonded to the front of the teeth. Bonding is a quicker, less invasive, and often less expensive procedure, but veneers generally offer longer-lasting and more transformative results.
