You've been thinking about improving your smile for months, maybe years. You know cosmetic dentistry is an option, but it all feels so overwhelming, from what dentist to choose to the specific treatments that might help you.
Your Consultation: A True Collaboration
The first step is a comprehensive consultation where your cosmetic dentist listens to your concerns and goals. This visit isn't about telling you what you need; it’s learning about your smile concerns and exploring which treatments align with your vision.
You'll discuss specific concerns like discoloration, chipped, gapped, or broken teeth. Your dentist will describe which cosmetic options address each issue, showing you examples and discussing the pros and cons of each. You’ll receive honest recommendations, but the final decision is always yours.
Your Smile, Only Better
Many patients ask, "Will my smile look fake after cosmetic dentistry?" Modern dental materials look more realistic than ever before, and you’ll work with your dentist to select shades that complement your tooth color and skin tone. Beyond an even, balanced smile, your restorations will function perfectly and ensure the results are as durable as they are attractive.
Treatment Timelines: What to Expect
Different cosmetic treatments require different timeframes:
- Teeth Whitening — Professional whitening delivers results in a single 60–90 minute appointment, with the option for custom take-home trays to maintain your brightness.
- Dental Bonding — Minor chips and gaps can often be repaired in one visit, lasting about 30–60 minutes per tooth.
- Porcelain Veneers — The process typically requires two appointments spaced two to three weeks apart. The first appointment is for preparation and impressions, and the second is for placing your custom veneers when they return from the lab.
- Aesthetic Dental Crowns — Similar to veneers, the process takes place over two visits for a total of about two to three weeks.
