FAQs

Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the color, shape, size, alignment, and overall appearance of your teeth and smile. Unlike restorative dentistry — which repairs function — cosmetic dentistry is primarily about aesthetics. At Ocean Dental, common cosmetic treatments include teeth whitening, dental veneers, dental bonding, Invisalign, and smile makeovers. Many treatments also have restorative benefits, so the two often overlap.

The right treatment depends on what you want to change and how long you want results to last. For example, whitening is ideal for staining but won’t change tooth shape. Bonding is fast and affordable for minor chips or gaps but may need replacing after several years. Veneers are longer-lasting and cover more concerns but are a bigger commitment. Dr. Sugg will assess your teeth, listen to your goals, and walk you through the honest pros and cons of each option before you decide anything.

Most cosmetic treatments are minimally invasive and well-tolerated. Teeth whitening and dental bonding typically require no anesthesia at all. For veneers or more involved procedures, Dr. Sugg uses local numbing to keep you comfortable throughout. If you have dental anxiety, let us know before your appointment — we’ll take extra care to make sure you feel at ease.

It depends on the treatment. Professional teeth whitening typically lasts six months to two years depending on your diet and habits, and touch-ups are easy. Dental bonding generally lasts three to ten years. Porcelain veneers can last ten to twenty years with good oral hygiene. Invisalign results are permanent as long as you wear your retainer afterward. Dr. Sugg will give you realistic expectations for your specific treatment during your consultation.

Some treatments are immediate — teeth whitening and dental bonding are typically completed in a single visit, and you leave with visible results the same day. Porcelain veneers usually take two to three visits over a few weeks. Invisalign treatment generally runs six to eighteen months depending on your case. For smile makeovers combining multiple treatments, Dr. Sugg will give you a clear timeline at your consultation so you know exactly what to expect and when.
