Frequently Asked Questions About Cosmetic Dentistry
What is the difference between cosmetic and general dentistry?
While general dentistry focuses on oral health and prevention, cosmetic dentistry aims to enhance the appearance of your smile. Many procedures, however, overlap to offer both aesthetic and functional benefits.
How long do cosmetic dentistry results last?
This depends on the procedure. Treatments like veneers can last over a decade, while teeth whitening may require maintenance every 6–12 months. Proper care, including regular check-ups, extends the longevity of any treatment.
Does insurance cover cosmetic dentistry?
Generally, cosmetic procedures are not covered by insurance. However, some treatments that improve functionality, like Invisalign, may be partially covered. Contact your provider for specific details. Our dedicated team will work diligently to ensure maximum insurance utilization.
How do I maintain my results after cosmetic procedures?
Maintaining good oral hygiene, eating a balanced diet, and avoiding habits like smoking can help preserve your cosmetic dentistry results. Regular dental check-ups are essential as well!
Is there downtime after cosmetic treatments?
Most cosmetic procedures involve minimal to no downtime, allowing you to return to your routine quickly. More extensive treatments, like veneers or crown lengthening, may require a few days of recovery.
How can I choose the best cosmetic treatment for me?
During your consultation, Dr. Sigismondi will discuss your goals, evaluate your oral health, and create a personalized treatment plan to help you achieve your dream smile.
