What should I know about cosmetic dentistry?

As with any procedure, it’s important to come in with realistic expectations. Write down the issues that bother you about your smile and things you want to change and Dr. Wainess can sit down with you and map out a treatment plan based on your needs. Some people may only require one treatment such as teeth whitening to remove stains and whiten their teeth, but people with more extensive problems may benefit from two or more treatments.

It’s important to write down any questions you may have regarding the treatment or treatments you’re interested in so we can answer your questions during your consultation. Some treatments are completely non-invasive and provide subtle changes while others may require weeks or months of recovery but impart more extensive or long-term results. You must understand what cosmetic dentistry can and can’t offer before you get treatment.

How long do results last?

This will depend on the type of treatment you get and how well you care for your smile. Some options such as teeth whitening may fade after six months or last up to 2 years, while other options such as dental implants can last the rest of your life.
