Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs
How is Cosmetic Dentistry different from General Dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of your teeth, gums, and smile, while general dentistry addresses oral health issues like cavities, gum disease, and overall dental maintenance.
What are the most popular cosmetic dental procedures?
Popular cosmetic dental procedures include teeth whitening, dental veneers, bonding, crowns, and orthodontic treatments like Invisalign.
Can cosmetic dentistry fix crooked or misaligned teeth?
Yes, cosmetic dentistry can fix crooked or misaligned teeth using treatments such as braces, Invisalign, or veneers, depending on the severity of the alignment issue.
How can Teeth Whitening improve my smile, and is it safe?
Teeth whitening can brighten your smile by removing stains and discoloration, making your teeth look more vibrant. Whitening is generally very safe when done under a dentist’s supervision.
How long do dental veneers typically last?
Dental veneers typically last between 10 to 15 years with proper care, though their lifespan can vary based on factors like oral hygiene and habits.
What is the process for getting dental implants?
Getting dental implants involves placing a titanium post into the jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root, followed by attaching a custom-made crown that blends with your natural teeth.
How much do cosmetic dental procedures tend to cost, and are they covered by insurance?
Costs vary depending on the procedure, ranging from a few hundred to several thousand dollars. Cosmetic dentistry is often not covered by insurance, as it is considered elective.
What can I expect during my first consultation with a cosmetic dentist?
During your first consultation, the dentist will assess your oral health, discuss your aesthetic goals, and recommend appropriate treatments to achieve your desired smile.
