No matter what improvements you want to make to your teeth, even if you’re only in need of whitening treatment, Queens Crown Dental can help. Professional whitening treatments provide more dramatic results and are safer for your teeth than whitening products you can buy at the store. Cosmetic improvements to your teeth should be handled by a licensed dentist to avoid potential damage that may be irreversible. If the health of your teeth are at risk, simply covering it up is only a temporary solution that may result in serious dental health problems. Queens Crown Dental can restore the health of your teeth while enhancing your smile. 

Will teeth whitening make my teeth sensitive?

Professional teeth whitening treatments are effective, yet mild to avoid damage to your tooth enamel. This means you should not experience sensitivity after a professional teeth whitening treatment. Over the counter products like whitening strips may cause sensitivity, which is why we recommend that you come to us for teeth whitening. 

Are veneers permanent? 

In order to fit your teeth with veneers, a thin layer of tooth enamel must be removed. The veneers are then attached to your teeth with a bonding material. This makes them essentially permanent, because only your dentist can remove them. After veneers are attached to your teeth, they can only be replaced with new veneers because your natural teeth have been altered. 

Is a full mouth reconstruction the same as a smile makeover?

Dentists use different terms for cosmetic dentistry, and a full mouth reconstruction or a smile makeover are essentially the same. The terminology is not important. If you want to improve your smile, come to us for a consultation where we will discuss your goals and create a plan to give you the smile you want. 

Is cosmetic dentistry covered by insurance? 

Cosmetic procedures are not typically covered by your dental insurance unless there is a dental health or medical need for the procedure. Financing is available to make the out of pocket cost more affordable, allowing you to make reasonable monthly payments with little to no interest.
