For these reasons, it makes sense to want to get the most out of your results and understand whether receiving treatment is worth it for you. If you\u2019re on the fence about scheduling a consultation with your cosmetic dentist in Clinton Township, learn a little more about the treatments that you\u2019re considering, including how long you\u2019ll be able to enjoy your beautified smile for by reading below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Veneers &amp; Lumineers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While Lumineers and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clintontownshipfamilydental.com\/porcelain-veneers-lumineers.html\">veneers<\/a> are two different treatments, they offer very similar results. Because veneers are designed to be slightly more durable due to their thickness, their average lifespan is between 10 and 25 years with proper maintenance, while Lumineers can last up to 10 years before needing to be replaced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These cosmetic restorations are able to completely transform your smile or several teeth, depending on what your goals are. One great benefit is that they\u2019re very easy to care for. Simply continue brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and rinsing with an alcohol-free mouthwash each day to prevent common oral health problems from arising, like cavities. Although the restorations themselves can\u2019t get cavities, your natural teeth underneath them still can, so it\u2019s important to continue taking good care of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Invisalign<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like with traditional braces, Invisalign treatment results last forever, so long as you wear your retainer as instructed. If you don\u2019t, you\u2019ll likely notice that your now-straightened teeth will gradually shift back into their original positions, ruining all of the progress you have made! The retainer helps you maintain your final results when worn correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Dental Bonding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This quick and cost-effective answer to restoring dental damage is a popular choice among patients, as it requires little-to-no alteration of your natural teeth. Using the same composite resin that dentists use for tooth-colored fillings, they can sculpt the missing portion of one or multiple teeth to make them appear whole again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This treatment also seals off the more vulnerable and sensitive inner structures of teeth, reducing the chances of experiencing dental sensitivity or even infection because of the damage. Plus, with a good dental hygiene routine, the results of dental bonding can last between five and seven years before needing to be replaced!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Teeth Whitening<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Teeth can become discolored for a variety of reasons, including taking certain medications, aging, and eating stain-causing foods. Fortunately, regardless of <em>what<\/em> has caused your smile to look diminished, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clintontownshipfamilydental.com\/teeth-whitening.html\">professional teeth whitening<\/a> offers a fast and safe way to brighten it. Whether you opt for take-home or in-office treatment, both results can last for over six months before needing a touch-up. The best way to help your results last longer is to minimize your consumption of common staining foods and beverages, like coffee, red wine, and tomato-based sauces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Milad Rabban has been practicing dentistry for nearly a decade, helping countless patients transform their smiles from ones riddled with imperfections like damage and discoloration, to ones that exude confidence.
