No. When performed professionally using dentist-approved products, teeth whitening is completely safe for your enamel. Some patients may experience temporary sensitivity, which typically resolves within 24–48 hours.
Are dental implants painful?
The procedure is done under local anesthesia and is generally painless. Mild soreness afterward is expected and manageable with over-the-counter pain relief. Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the process is.
How long do veneers last?
With proper care, veneers can last between 10 to 15 years or even longer. Avoiding habits like biting nails, chewing ice, or using teeth as tools helps extend their lifespan.
What is the best age to get braces?
Orthodontic evaluation can start around age 7, but most patients begin treatment between ages 10–14. Adults can also benefit from braces or clear aligners at any age. Early evaluation can prevent future issues, and treatment at any stage helps improve both oral health and confidence.
How often should I visit the dentist?
We recommend a check-up and cleaning every 6 months for most patients, while some may need more frequent visits depending on their treatment or oral health needs. Regular visits help prevent issues, keep your smile healthy, and make treatments more effective.
What if I’m nervous about treatment?
We completely understand. We offer a comfort-first approach, calming techniques, and sedation options for patients with dental anxiety. Let us know how you feel — we’re here to help.
