FAQ
What is cosmetic dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of your teeth, gums, and smile. Treatments range from teeth whitening and veneers to Invisalign and complete smile makeovers.
Is cosmetic dentistry only for aesthetics?
While cosmetic treatments primarily improve appearance, many also enhance oral health by correcting alignment, closing gaps, and restoring damaged teeth for better function.
How long does teeth whitening last?
Professional teeth whitening results can last between 1-3 years, depending on your oral hygiene habits, diet, and lifestyle. Touch-ups are available to maintain brightness.
Are porcelain veneers permanent?
Porcelain veneers are a long-term solution, typically lasting 10-15 years or longer with proper care. Because they require minor tooth preparation, they are not reversible.
