Whitening FAQ

No. Professional whitening is safe and doesn't harm enamel when done properly under dental supervision.

1-3 years depending on diet and habits. Touch-ups every 6-12 months maintain results.

No, whitening only affects natural tooth enamel. Existing restorations may need replacement to match new shade.

Some sensitivity is common but temporary. We provide desensitizing gel and recommend toothpaste for sensitive teeth.

Tetracycline staining (antibiotic), fluorosis (excess fluoride), internal discoloration from trauma. These require veneers or crowns.

Cosmetic Dentistry FAQ

Find answers to the most common questions about transforming your smile at Smile More Today.

While aesthetics are important, we also prioritize function, health, and longevity. Beautiful smiles should also be healthy, functional smiles. We ensure that your cosmetic improvements are built on a foundation of sound oral health.

Bonding is faster and more affordable but less durable and stain-resistant. Veneers are more expensive but provide superior aesthetics and longevity. We'll help you decide based on your specific goals, the condition of your teeth, and your budget during your consultation.

Not when done properly! We aim for natural-looking results that complement your unique facial features, age, and personality. Nobody will know you had work done unless you tell them—they'll just notice you look more radiant and confident.

Most insurance plans don't cover purely cosmetic procedures. However, if a treatment also addresses functional issues (like a crown for a cracked tooth or replacing a missing tooth), it may be partially covered. Our team will verify your specific benefits and help you maximize your coverage.

With proper care: Veneers typically last 10-15 years, bonding 5-10 years, professional whitening 1-3 years, and crowns 10-20 years. Maintaining good oral hygiene and regular checkups is essential for maximum longevity.

Gum disease must be treated and stabilized first. Cosmetic work on unhealthy gums won't last and could potentially make existing problems worse. We prioritize addressing health issues before moving on to cosmetic concerns for a safe and lasting transformation.

There's no "best" age! We treat patients from late teens (once dental growth is complete) through seniors in their 80s and 90s. It's never too late to enhance your smile and boost your quality of life through cosmetic dentistry.

  • Brush twice daily and floss daily
  • See us every 6 months for professional cleanings
  • Avoid biting exceptionally hard foods or objects
  • Consider a custom nightguard if you grind your teeth
  • Minimize highly staining foods and drinks
