A great way to start is having a consultation with Dr. Buglione to determine the ways that you can reach your goals. Improving your smile is an investment in you.

If my teeth are reshaped for veneers or crowns, what will they look like? Will they be sensitive?
Generally, cemented restorations like crowns or veneers will require two visits – one to shape the teeth, and one to cement the restorations to the teeth. In between, your dentist can place attractive temporary restorations to help prevent sensitivity, allow function and provide a nice smile. These temporaries are designed to be in your mouth for a limited time, but should be comfortable and natural looking until you can get your new smile completed.

Is my new smile permanent?
With good home care and regular visits to your dentist, modern materials can last for many years and possibly decades. Like most things, excellent maintenance will extend the life of your dental restorations.

Is teeth whitening bad for patient's enamel?
There is no permanent damage caused to the enamel or any other tooth structures by tooth whitening.
Top ˆ
Does teeth whitening cause permanent teeth sensitivity?
Sensitivity from teeth whitening is always transient. That means if there is any sensitivity caused by the whitening, it goes away within one to two days after the cessation of bleaching, and the patient returns to the state of sensitivity that they had before they started the whitening process.
