What Are My Cosmetic Options?
If you are looking for a treatment that will change the appearance of your teeth without long-term porcelain cosmetics, then there are alternative cosmetic options available. Additionally, sometimes patients seek a temporary fix for their issues while they prepare for permanent cosmetic treatment.
Overview
How long is the treatment?
- Veneers – two appointments
- Teeth Whitening 1 hour
How long does it last?
- Veneers – up to 8 years
- Teeth Whitening – between 9 and 12 months
Does it hurt?
Porcelain veneers involve only a small amount of enamel being removed, and while it may cause some discomfort, it typically doesn’t cause pain.
Teeth whitening done by a professional should involve neither discomfort nor pain—unless you have overly sensitive teeth.
Treatment Options
Veneers
Porcelain veneers are thin shells of porcelain attached to front teeth in the smile zone. Porcelain veneers are colour-matched to the shade of your teeth so they blend in.
Teeth Whitening
With in-chair teeth whitening you can have brighter teeth in just one hour.
