You don\u2019t have to settle for a smile that you don\u2019t feel confident showing off. There are various cosmetic dental treatments available to help you completely transform your smile. However, something you may be wondering is how long you can expect the results to last. Read on to learn about some of the most common cosmetic treatments<\/a> and how long you can experience the benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Veneers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Veneers are thin shells of tooth-colored porcelain. They are adhered to the front surfaces of the teeth to cover up a variety of imperfections, like chips, cracks, stains, gaps, undersized teeth, and misshapen teeth. They are very durable and can last upward of 15 years when cared for properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teeth Whitening<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is one of the most popular cosmetic dental treatments out there to choose from. After all, everyone wants to feel great about the appearance of their smile. However, years of using tobacco products, drinking red wine, eating berries, or just aging will lead to discoloration over time. Professional teeth whitening can last anywhere from six months to three years. This is something that many patients decide to undergo routine to keep their smile bright.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Invisalign<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Invisalign uses a series of clear aligners to slowly shift your teeth to their rightful locations without the use of metal brackets and wires. Once your treatment is complete, the results are permanent as long as you continue to wear your retainer as directed going forward. This keeps your teeth from shifting back to their original locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crown Lengthening Treatment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you don\u2019t have enough visible structure to successfully place a dental crown or another restoration, your dentist may recommend a crown lengthening treatment. This procedure involves removing excess gum tissue, which is permanent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gum Grafting & Recontouring<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Do you feel that your gum to tooth ratio is balanced? If you have suffered from gum recession due to gum disease or another treatment, this means that you could be a candidate for gum grafting to restore lost gum tissue. Alternatively, gum recontouring involves the removal of excess gum tissue that causes the appearance of a gummy smile. After gum tissue is added or removed, it is permanent, so you can expect the results to last indefinitely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cosmetic dentistry has various lifespans. You can benefit from many of them for numerous years down the road and some for the rest of your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
