Frequently Asked Questions About Cosmetic Dentistry

Is teeth whitening safe for my teeth?

Professional teeth whitening treatments contain active ingredients that are proven safe on tooth enamel. Your dentist will only recommend teeth whitening if your teeth are healthy and in good condition.

How long do the results of teeth whitening last?

The results of in-office teeth whitening treatments typically last anywhere from 1-3 years. Take home whitening may last up to a year. Periodic touch ups between treatments can help your results last longer.

Are there foods and beverages I should avoid after teeth whitening?

If you want your teeth to stay white as long as possible, it can help to avoid foods and beverages that are known to stain food. Consider avoiding coffee, tea, red wine, grape juice, dark berries, soy sauce, tomato sauce, food coloring, artificial dyes, and dark or dyed soft drinks.

Are veneers permanent?

Veneers are bonded to the teeth and should only be removed by your dentist. A thin layer of enamel is removed from your teeth before the veneers are attached, which permanently alters the teeth.

How long do veneers last?

Porcelain veneers are the highest quality material and they last an average of 10-15 years. Composite veneers are not as strong and may only last between 5 and 8 years.

Is Invisalign a cosmetic or an orthodontic treatment?

Invisalign serves both a cosmetic and an orthodontic purpose. By straightening teeth and aligning your bite, Invisalign improves the health and appearance of your teeth all at once.

Can cosmetic bonding work instead of a dental crown?

A tooth with damage to the enamel may be able to be reshaped using cosmetic bonding. But in some cases the damage is too extensive and the tooth may need a crown to be stable and fully protected.

Am I a candidate for cosmetic dentistry?

If you are dissatisfied with your smile and want to improve it, you are a candidate for cosmetic dentistry. However, your teeth must be healthy, so any restorative procedures you may need will have to be done first. In some cases restorative procedures have cosmetic benefits, such as crowns, bridges, and dental implants.
