Depending on what procedures you decide on, your duration of your cosmetic makeover can vary. If you require clear aligner therapy, like ClearCorrect or Invisalign, you’re looking at a straight, beautiful smile in about a year, plus whatever other treatments we’ve planned together. If you’re not undergoing any orthodontic work, however, most makeovers only end up taking 2-3 visits, allowing our trusted dental labs to create any prosthetics and for your mouth to heal from any preliminary treatments, such as dental implant placements.
Like most aspects of cosmetic makeovers, the recovery time and process will vary for every patient. However, we can offer you advice on aftercare for some of our more common cosmetic services and procedures in Sacramento.
- Dental Crowns: avoid chewy, sticky, or hard foods, and try to shift your chewing to the opposite side of your new crown for at least 24 hours after placement.
- Teeth Whitening: for the first 24 hours, stay away from dark liquids like coffee, tea, and wine, as well as from teeth-staining foods like fruits, berries, and chocolate. The longer you avoid these kinds of foods and drinks, the longer your whitening treatment will stay pristine and bright.
- Dental Veneers: dental veneers don’t require any special treatment after being placed, but keeping up good oral hygiene habits, like brushing, flossing, and regular visits to the dentist, will go a long way towards extending the life of your veneers.
