FAQ?
What is the difference between restorative dentistry and aesthetic dentistry?
Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing damaged or missing teeth, while aesthetic dentistry aims to improve the appearance of the smile (shade, alignment, shape of teeth).
Do cosmetic treatments damage natural teeth?
No, when performed correctly, aesthetic treatments such as veneers or teeth whitening are designed to preserve the integrity of natural teeth while improving their appearance.
Are crowns and veneers permanent?
Crowns and veneers are durable solutions, but they require regular maintenance and may sometimes need to be replaced after several years due to natural wear and tear.
Can I get teeth whitening if I have fillings or crowns?
Yes, but it must be known that the materials of fillings and crowns do not react to bleaching. It may be necessary to replace them to harmonize the color after the treatment.
Are aesthetic dentistry treatments painful?
Most treatments are painless thanks to the use of local anesthetics and modern techniques that minimize discomfort. Some patients may experience slight sensitivity after certain procedures.
