Patient Results

The results of professional teeth whitening typically last 1-3 years, depending on your lifestyle habits. Regular consumption of staining foods and beverages (coffee, red wine, etc.), smoking, and poor oral hygiene can shorten this timeframe. We recommend touch-up treatments and using at-home maintenance products to prolong your results.

Invisalign treatment typically causes mild discomfort rather than pain, especially when switching to a new set of aligners. This feeling of pressure indicates that your teeth are moving as planned. Most patients adapt quickly, and any discomfort usually subsides within a few days. Over-the-counter pain relievers can help manage initial soreness.

Dental implants are designed to be a permanent solution and can last a lifetime with proper care. The titanium implant itself typically integrates with your jawbone and remains stable for decades. The crown attached to the implant may need replacement after 10-15 years due to normal wear and tear. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene are essential for maintaining your implants.

Veneers and crowns differ primarily in how much of the tooth they cover and how much natural tooth structure needs to be removed. Veneers are thin shells that cover only the front surface of teeth and require minimal tooth preparation. They're ideal for cosmetic improvements. Crowns cover the entire tooth and require more tooth reduction. They're better suited for teeth with significant damage or decay that need structural reinforcement along with aesthetic improvement.
