Cosmetic Dentistry

Absolutely! At Coastal Dental, we prioritise patient safety above all else. All our cosmetic procedures are carried out using advanced techniques and equipment under the supervision of highly trained professionals. We also ensure thorough consultations and examinations prior to any treatment to assess suitability and mitigate potential risks.

The longevity of cosmetic procedures varies. Professional teeth whitening can last from 6 months up to 2 years, depending on individual habits like diet and smoking. Porcelain veneers, on the other hand, can last anywhere between 10 and 15 years or even longer with proper care. It’s crucial to follow post-treatment care guidelines to maximise the lifespan of these treatments.

Some patients might experience temporary sensitivity after certain cosmetic procedures, especially teeth whitening. However, this sensitivity is usually mild and subsides in a few days. We also offer products and recommendations to help alleviate any discomfort.

The key to long-lasting results lies in proper post-treatment care. This includes maintaining good oral hygiene, attending regular dental check-ups, avoiding staining foods and beverages in the case of teeth whitening, and following any specific care instructions provided by our team.

Typically, insurance policies consider cosmetic procedures elective and may not provide coverage. However, some treatments, especially those that also have restorative benefits, might be partially covered. It’s best to check with your insurance provider or allow our office team to help you understand potential coverage options.
