Frequently Asked Questions About Cosmetic Dentistry

What is cosmetic dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of your teeth and smile while maintaining your overall oral health. Depending on your goals, treatment may include teeth whitening, dental bonding, porcelain veneers, white spot removal, or a combination of cosmetic procedures.

What cosmetic dentistry treatments does Tonka Smiles offer?

Tonka Smiles offers several cosmetic dental treatments in Minnetonka, including porcelain veneers, dental bonding, professional teeth whitening, white spot removal, and BOTOX®/XEOMIN® for TMJ pain and facial esthetics. Your dentist can recommend the treatment or combination of treatments that best fits your smile goals.

How do I know which cosmetic dental treatment is right for me?

The best cosmetic treatment depends on your teeth, oral health, and what you would like to change about your smile. During a cosmetic consultation, your dentist can evaluate your teeth and discuss options such as whitening, bonding, veneers, or other treatments based on your individual goals.

Can cosmetic dentistry fix chipped or damaged teeth?

Yes. Depending on the extent of the damage, dental bonding or porcelain veneers may be used to improve the appearance of chipped, cracked, worn, or misshapen teeth. Your dentist can determine which option is appropriate after evaluating the affected teeth.

Can cosmetic dentistry improve discolored or stained teeth?

Yes. Professional teeth whitening can improve many types of tooth discoloration and surface staining. For discoloration that does not respond well to whitening, other options such as porcelain veneers or white spot removal may be considered.

How long does a cosmetic dentistry treatment take?

Treatment time varies depending on the procedure. Some cosmetic treatments, such as dental bonding or certain whitening options, may be completed relatively quickly, while porcelain veneers and more comprehensive smile makeovers may require multiple appointments.

Is cosmetic dentistry only about improving the appearance of my teeth?

Cosmetic dentistry primarily focuses on improving the appearance of your smile, but some treatments can also restore or protect damaged teeth. For example, dental bonding can improve the appearance of a chipped tooth while restoring its shape, and porcelain veneers can address several cosmetic concerns at once.

How long do cosmetic dental treatments last?

The longevity of cosmetic dental treatment depends on the procedure, your oral hygiene, your diet, and other habits. For example, dental bonding typically lasts several years, while porcelain veneers can provide longer-lasting results with proper care. Your dentist can explain the expected lifespan of your recommended treatment.

Can I get a smile makeover in Minnetonka?

Yes. Tonka Smiles provides cosmetic dentistry in Minnetonka and can create a personalized treatment plan based on your smile goals. A smile makeover may involve one cosmetic procedure or a combination of treatments to address concerns such as discoloration, chips, gaps, or uneven teeth.

Do I need healthy teeth and gums before cosmetic dentistry?

A healthy oral foundation is important before beginning cosmetic dental treatment. If you have cavities, gum disease, or other dental concerns, your dentist may recommend addressing those issues before proceeding with cosmetic treatment.
