quiz-using-cosmetic-dental-work-to-improve-your-smileTo what degree can you change your appearance through dental work? With the cosmetic dental procedures available to you, you can see big changes made to your smile, which can have a big impact on how you look overall. Procedures like teeth whitening and dental bonding can often be completed in one visit. You will need to plan for a followup visit if you are receiving porcelain veneers, but their improvements can last for many years. Remember that your smile is one of your most prominent features, and its quality can have a big effect on your appearance as a whole.

Questions:

True Or False: Porcelain veneers can improve your smile by taking care of physically damaged teeth, and congenitally flawed teeth, but not discoloration.

True Or False: Dental bonding treatments require an initial appointment, and a followup visit.

True Or False: Not every form of dental discoloration should be addressed with a professional whitening treatment.

Answers:

False! Porcelain veneers can take care of issues with the shape and condition of your teeth, but they do not stop there – they can also make your smile look whiter. After surveying your teeth, your dentist can help you appreciate what to expect from having veneers placed.

False! Many patients will be through with their dental bonding treatment after a single visit. However, if you need several teeth worked on, your dentist may need to break your treatment into two visits.

True! Professional whitening agents do well when you need to take care of enamel stains, but intrinsic discoloration will require a different cosmetic procedure.
