Frequently Asked Questions

Is cosmetic dentistry painful?

No. Most cosmetic procedures use local anesthesia and patients report zero pain. Bonding and whitening require no anesthesia at all.

How long does a smile makeover take from start to finish?

A complete smile makeover takes 3 to 6 weeks from consultation to final placement. Simple whitening and bonding cases finish in 1-2 visits.

Can cosmetic dentistry fix crooked teeth without braces?

Porcelain veneers correct mild to moderate misalignment without braces in just two visits. Significant crowding requires Invisalign first.

What is the youngest age for cosmetic dental work?

Patients must be at least 18 with fully developed teeth for permanent cosmetic work. Dental bonding is available for teens aged 16 and older.

How do I maintain my cosmetic dental work?

Brush twice daily, floss once daily, and schedule professional cleanings every six months. Wear a night guard if you grind your teeth.
