Does insurance cover cosmetic dentistry?
Most dental insurance plans do not cover cosmetic services, as these procedures are considered elective and not medically necessary. Treatments like teeth whitening, veneers, and cosmetic bonding are typically excluded from coverage. However, if a cosmetic procedure has restorative benefits, such as repairing a chipped tooth, some insurance plans may offer partial coverage. It’s important to check with your insurance provider to understand your specific benefits.
What is the difference between veneers and crowns?
Veneers are thin shells that cover the front surface of a tooth to improve its appearance, addressing issues like discoloration, minor chips, or gaps. Crowns, on the other hand, are a cap that covers the entire tooth, restoring both function and appearance. Crowns are typically used when a tooth is severely damaged, decayed, or weakened, while veneers are more commonly used for cosmetic enhancements.
When is it recommended to replace dental fillings?
Dental fillings should be replaced when they show signs of wear, cracking, or leakage, or if decay is detected around the filling. Over time, fillings can deteriorate due to chewing forces, which may compromise their ability to protect the tooth. Regular dental check-ups allow our team to monitor the condition of your fillings and recommend replacement when necessary to prevent further decay or damage.
How long do teeth whitening treatments last?
Teeth whitening treatments typically last anywhere from six months to two years, depending on your oral hygiene habits and lifestyle factors like diet and smoking. To maintain results longer, avoid foods and drinks that stain teeth, such as coffee, tea, and red wine. Regular brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings can also help prolong the effects of whitening treatments. Touch-up treatments may be recommended to keep your smile bright.
