Many of these treatments have varying degrees of usefulness and virtually endless applications. Here are some of the most sought-after cosmetic treatment options and their expected results:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Teeth whitening<\/strong> \u2013 Most dentists offer both in-office whitening and take-home kits, both of which can whiten your teeth by several shades. Depending on the patient\u2019s commitment to oral hygiene, these results can last anywhere from six months to three years.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Porcelain veneers<\/strong> \u2013 Veneers are thin layers of custom-shaped dental porcelain that are firmly bonded to the outer surfaces of your teeth, improving their appearance tenfold. Veneers can last for 10 \u2013 15 years or so under optimal conditions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Direct bonding<\/strong> <strong>(also called cosmetic bonding) <\/strong>\u2013 Your dentist can use a composite-resin material to mask minor flaws in teeth. Eventually the material can become discolored or wear away, but it\u2019s easily replaced and can still last for 5 \u2013 10 years before failing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>There are other treatment options that serve both aesthetic <em>and <\/em>restorative purposes, and these typically last longer than purely cosmetic services:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Dental crowns<\/strong> \u2013 Like veneers, crowns are durable and can protect a tooth while simultaneously improving its appearance. A crown can last for up to 15 years before needing to be replaced, assuming it\u2019s cared for diligently.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dental Implants<\/strong> \u2013 Often considered the gold standard for replacing missing teeth, dental implants restore lost teeth in terms of look, feel, <em>and<\/em> functionality. They can last for up to 20 or 30 years when properly cared for.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips for Maintaining Your Newly Enhanced Smile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With any type of cosmetic treatment, it\u2019s crucial that you maintain optimal oral health moving forward in order to preserve your results. Consider the following tips to keep your new smile white and bright:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Brush your teeth twice a day for two minutes each time using a soft-bristled toothbrush coupled with a fluoride toothpaste.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Don\u2019t skip flossing; it\u2019s just as important as brushing!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reduce your consumption of sugary and acidic foods and drinks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Be mindful of items with staining agents such as coffee, soda, tea, red wines, soy sauce, and more.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoid poor oral habits like smoking or using your teeth as tools\u2014this can weaken your enamel!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Regularly visit your dentist for routine preventive care.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re interested in receiving cosmetic treatment to enhance your smile, speaking with your dentist about your desired results is your first step. With so many effective and long-lasting options, there\u2019s certain to be a solution that works for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The team at Beacon Dentistry of Weatherford is honored to serve the dental needs of the Weatherford community under the leadership of Dr. Thomas Novak and Dr. Garrett Johannsen.
