But just how long will the results last before they need to be redone? The answer to this question can vary depending on what treatment was performed. Before investing in cosmetic dentistry, it\u2019s a good idea to familiarize yourself with your options and how long you can expect them to last.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Common Cosmetic Dental Treatments and Their Lifespans<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cosmetic dentistry can come in many different forms depending on the changes you want to make. Below are some particularly popular smile-improving services and what their lifespans typically look like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Veneers: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pvfamilydentistry.com\/veneers.html\">Veneers<\/a> are thin shells that can be attached to the front of your teeth, thereby hiding all sorts of aesthetic flaws at once. They are very durable and can last around 10 to 15 years with the right care.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cosmetic Dental Bonding:<\/strong> The cosmetic dental bonding procedure involves covering problem areas with tooth-colored composite resin. It can be a quick solution for minor cosmetic issues, and it can last anywhere between 3 and 10 years.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Teeth Whitening:<\/strong> In-office and take-home <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pvfamilydentistry.com\/teeth-whitening.html\">teeth whitening<\/a> treatments can be an effective way to brighten dull or stained teeth. The lifespan of professional teeth whitening can vary, but it\u2019s often around 1 to 3 years.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Invisalign:<\/strong> In some cases, crooked or otherwise misaligned teeth can be corrected with discreet Invisalign aligners. The results of Invisalign treatment can last the rest of your life, provided that you wear your retainer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Gum Recontouring:<\/strong> Gum recontouringinvolves removing unneeded gum tissue in order to create a more balanced-looking smile. Since removed gum tissue doesn\u2019t grow back, the results of gum recontouring are permanent.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Can You Help the Results of Cosmetic Dentistry Last Longer?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In many cases, the longevity of your cosmetic dental treatment partially depends on the care you give your smile. If you want to keep your teeth looking their best for as long as possible, you should follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Brush your teeth two times a day, and remember to floss on a daily basis.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Be careful of what you eat and drink. It\u2019s best to limit your exposure to coffee, tomato sauce, and other foods and beverages that are known to stain teeth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoid nail biting and other bad habits that can potentially damage teeth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Visit your dentist twice a year so that they can keep an eye on the current state of your smile.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to have an accurate idea of how long cosmetic dentistry will last before you commit to anything. If there\u2019s a specific treatment that you\u2019re interested in, talk to your dentist to get an accurate idea of its longevity. The more information you have, the easier it is to make the best choice for your smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Joshua Perry went to the University of Florida for his dental education.
