Frequently asked questions
-
That depends on your teeth and your wishes. Send us clear photos of your teeth, and the dentist will give you personal advice on which treatment fits you best.
-
The treatment is done under local anaesthetic (numbing), so you will not feel any pain. Are you anxious? Just let us know, and we will work extra carefully and take the time to put you at ease.
After treatment your teeth may feel sensitive. For some clients this lasts a few weeks, for others a few months; after about 6 months it should be completely gone. Not everyone experiences this, and it is part of the normal recovery process.
-
Good care is important for a long lifespan. We recommend:
brushing your teeth twice a day
flossing daily
a check-up at the dentist twice a year
a visit to the dental hygienist twice a year
a toothpaste for sensitive teeth, such as Sensodyne, if needed
For veneers, normal flossing is enough. For crowns we recommend a water flosser, especially if the crowns are connected. Do you grind your teeth at night? Then we recommend a night guard.
-
Veneers cannot correct an overbite or underbite. Crowns can partially improve it. In that case the dentist will advise treating all teeth, because your bite must be well balanced; adjusting only the front teeth can lead to problems with chewing or extra wear.
We cannot guarantee that an overbite or underbite will be fully corrected; sometimes jaw surgery is needed for this.
