At Hyde Park Dentistry of London, Ontario, patients who want to enhance their smiles may have many questions about cosmetic dentistry. Cosmetic dentistry is a field of dental work that focuses on improving the smile’s overall appearance. There are many different procedures available for patients to choose from when designing their new smile with our team. Let’s look at six frequently asked questions about cosmetic dentistry often heard by Drs. Ashish Papneja and Marjan Moaveni.
According to Drs. Papneja and Moaveni, most cosmetic dentistry procedures are safe if performed by a skilled and knowledgeable professional. Our dentists have years of combined experience performing cosmetic dentistry procedures with utmost care and precision. We ensure that all safety measures are taken during the procedure to minimize any risk of complications.
Gum contouring, orthodontic treatments, dental veneers, implants, and teeth whitening are common cosmetic dentistry procedures. These treatments improve various concerns, such as stained or discoloured teeth, crooked or misaligned teeth, missing teeth, and gummy smiles. Our dentists work with you to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for your unique and specific needs and goals.
The time needed for a cosmetic dentistry procedure varies depending on the specific treatment that is being performed. For example, teeth whitening can typically be completed in one visit, lasting approximately an hour, while dental implants may require multiple appointments over several months. During your consultation, our team will provide you with a detailed time frame for your specific treatment plan.
Most cosmetic dentistry procedures are not painful, and patients typically experience minimal discomfort. For procedures that may cause some discomfort, our team uses local anesthesia to numb the area and ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. We also offer various sedation options for our patients who might feel anxious or have a low pain tolerance.
Individual factors, including lifestyle choices, oral hygiene practices, and the particular treatment, determine how long cosmetic dental work results last. For example, teeth whitening results may last several months with proper maintenance, while dental implants can last a lifetime with proper care. Our dentists provide you with aftercare instructions to help maintain your beautiful smile for as long as possible.
When selecting a cosmetic dentist, it is important to research and find a qualified and experienced provider with a good reputation in the community. Look for past reviews from previous patients and ask to see before-and-after photos of their work. At Hyde Park Dentistry, our team has a proven track record of providing exceptional cosmetic dentistry services to our patients.
