\"WomanEveryone can have the stunning smile they desire with cosmetic dentistry; however, it is a big investment. You want to get the most for your money. No one wants to pay for a procedure that\u2019s not going to provide long-term results. How long does cosmetic dentistry last? Unfortunately, there isn\u2019t an easy answer. Every procedure has a different life expectancy and various factors will affect your results. Don\u2019t worry, here\u2019s what you can expect from 4 common cosmetic procedures<\/a> and what you can do to preserve your beautiful smile.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

1. Ceramic Crowns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A dental crown is a cap bonded over the entire surface of a tooth above the gum line. It provides preventive, restorative, and cosmetic benefits using all-ceramic materials. Although modern restorations are metal-free, they have a lifespan of about 10 years, but it\u2019s not unusual for them to last for much longer with the right care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Cosmetic Bonding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cosmetic bonding offers a lot of bang for your buck using a resin material. It provides a quick fix that can stay in place for about 5-10 years. Although it may not be as durable as a crown, dental bonding is less invasive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Teeth Whitening<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Modern whitening treatments can get your teeth up to 8 shades whiter. Your smile can stay bright for several months to a few years, depending on how well you safeguard your teeth from new stains. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Veneers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Veneers are a minimally invasive solution to correct multiple aesthetic concerns simultaneously. Although veneers are thinner than ever, they can last for a decade or more with the proper care, like brushing and flossing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
