Cosmetic dentistry refers to any dental procedure that’s aimed at making a positive change to your teeth and smile. Although sometimes these procedures are purely cosmetic, many of them improve your oral health as well.
Some of the most common cosmetic dentistry treatments include:
The lifetime of cosmetic dentistry procedures varies. For example, bonding usually lasts about three to seven years, whereas a dental crown can last up to 25 or 30 years. How well you take care of your teeth and gums, as well your lifestyle habits, play a large part in determining the life of your cosmetic dentistry.
Typically, dental insurance doesn’t cover cosmetic procedures.
