Cosmetic dentistry at Peartree Dental Care encompasses a range of treatments designed to be beautiful and durable. Their longevity depends on numerous factors, such as oral hygiene practices, routine maintenance, and habits like teeth grinding and nail-biting.
Cosmetic Dentistry Longevity
Here’s a quick look at some of the cosmetic dental treatments we offer in Ellicott City and their typical lifespan.
- Professional Teeth Whitening — In-office and take-home whitening treatments typically maintain brightness for 1–3 years. Touch-ups are usually required periodically, especially if you consume staining beverages like coffee or wine.
- Composite Bonding — Dental bonding, which repairs chips, fills gaps, and reshapes teeth, generally lasts 4–8 years. While durable, bonding materials may require occasional touch-ups or replacement to maintain their appearance.
- Porcelain Veneers — High-quality porcelain veneers are among the most durable cosmetic treatments, lasting 10–15 years or more. Their resilient ceramic material resists staining and maintains its natural appearance with proper care.
- Clear Aligners — Once treatment is complete, results are permanent when combined with consistent retainer use as prescribed by your dentist.
- Aesthetic Crowns — Modern ceramic crowns can last 15 years or longer, protecting and beautifying teeth while maintaining their natural appearance.
