How long the treatment will last and the cost of a smile makeover will vary depending on your dentist, location, dental insurance, state of oral health and how extensive your plan is.  Some treatment is more expensive and takes longer, especially if any underlying oral health issues are found.  Restorative procedures often will be covered by dental insurance, you will still end up paying more for treatment than someone who has immaculate oral health.  Cosmetic Dentist Queen Creek AZ

As long as you practice proper care and visit your dentist regularly, your smile will look great and your crowns, veneers, or other restorations will last for many years to come.  Resin-based restorations (tooth colored fillings) can last anywhere from 3 to 9 years or longer!  A porcelain restoration can last up to 10 years. #martindental

Maintaining Your Results

Knowing how to modify your oral hygiene habits is the best way to ensure your restorations last for years to come.  #smilewithconfidence Toothpaste that is highly abrasive or a bad habit you have with your tooth brush can scratch the surface of your restorations. It can dull the polish.  A non-abrasive toothpaste is recommended.  You need to still brush at least twice a day. 

Flossing is also a big factor in removing debris and plaque, and it can increase the lifespan of your restorations and also help prevent tooth decay.  Flossing is a must for everyone, but especially for those with veneers.  Impeccable gum tissue health is super important. Cosmetic Dentist Queen Creek AZ

Mouthwash that contains alcohol has been proven to have a negative effect on composite fillings.  Alcohol content in mouth rinses, over time, can degrade the bond between your restorations.  Always use alcohol-free mouthwashes.
