How long do cosmetic dental treatments take?
That depends on the problems you want to address. Problems with stained teeth, for example, can be remedied in a single dental visit with in-office teeth whitening. Porcelain crowns and veneers may take several weeks as these restorations are custom-made in an off-site lab. Orthodontic treatment can take one to two years, depending on the complexity of your treatment. In like manner, implants are a lengthy treatment that can take from 6 to 12 months to complete.

How long will the results last?
Again, that may vary from one person to the next, depending on the procedures you choose and your oral care habits after completing your treatment. With proper care, crowns and veneers can last up to 15 years. Dental bonding and white fillings typically last 5-10 years. Good oral hygiene, a healthy diet, and good lifestyle habits will contribute to the lifespan of your cosmetic dental work.
Is cosmetic dentistry painful?
Pain isn’t an issue when it comes to cosmetic dentistry, as invasive treatments are performed under local anesthesia to ensure you don’t feel a thing. Many treatments, such as teeth whitening and bonding, are non-invasive and do not require anesthesia. Dr. Burggraaf also offers dental sedation to keep you calm and comfortable during surgical procedures such as implants or other complex treatments.
What are the benefits of cosmetic dentistry?
The greatest benefit is a beautiful smile you can showcase with pride! In the process, you benefit from improved tooth functionality and better oral health. By correcting problems with crooked, damaged, or missing teeth, Dr. Burggraaf can improve your ability to eat and speak. Your smile will be healthier and stronger, as well as aesthetically pleasing. Â
