Six Month Smiles® Q & A
1. What’s the difference between teeth whitening and veneers?
Teeth whitening lightens the natural color of your teeth, while veneers are thin coverings placed over the front of teeth to change color, shape, size, or alignment. Whitening is ideal for discoloration, while veneers are better for more noticeable cosmetic concerns.
2. How long do professional whitening results last?
Results can last anywhere from several months to over a year depending on diet, habits, and oral hygiene. Avoiding frequent exposure to staining foods and maintaining regular dental care can help extend your results.
3. Do veneers damage natural teeth?
When properly planned and placed, veneers are designed to preserve as much natural tooth structure as possible. Our dentists take a conservative approach to ensure long-term health while achieving cosmetic improvement.
4. Can I choose how white my teeth will look?
Yes. During treatment planning, you’ll be involved in selecting the shade and overall appearance of your smile. Our goal is to achieve a result that looks bright yet natural for your features.
5. Are whitening and veneers painful procedures?
Most patients experience little to no discomfort. Some people may have temporary sensitivity after whitening, but this typically resolves quickly. Veneer placement is performed with care to keep the process comfortable.
