Debunking Common Cosmetic Dentistry Myths
Here’s a closer look:
Myth: It’s Only for the Wealthy
Fact: Sure, some cosmetic procedures can be pricey, but many options are quite affordable. We have payment plans and financing options available that make cosmetic care accessible to a wider range of budgets. The cost varies depending on the procedure, and we offer flexible payment options to accommodate different financial situations.
Myth: It’s Just Vanity
Fact: Cosmetic dentistry is not solely about improving appearance – it also addresses functionality and oral health. For example, dental bonding can repair chipped teeth, and veneers may correct alignment issues. Many options not only enhance your smile but also improve the health and functionality of your teeth, providing practical benefits beyond aesthetics.
Myth: It’s Painful
Fact: Thankfully, advances in technology and techniques have greatly reduced the discomfort associated with some cosmetic procedures. Modern care is often quick and minimally invasive, with many patients experiencing little to no pain. We also offer local anaesthetics and sedation options to ensure your comfort throughout the process.
Myth: The Results Don’t Last
Fact: With proper care, many cosmetic procedures last for many years. Porcelain veneers and crowns, for example, are durable and resistant to staining. Maintaining good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups helps prolong the results of your cosmetic procedures.
Myth: It’s Only for the Young
Fact: Our procedures benefit people of all ages and stages. Procedures such as teeth whitening, bonding, and dentures address various dental issues regardless of age. Many older adults seek cosmetic methods to enhance their smile and address wear and tear on their teeth.
