Dental Implants
Am I a candidate for dental implants?
Most healthy adults with sufficient jawbone density are good candidates. A 3D scan during consultation will confirm your suitability.
How long do dental implants take?
The full process including healing takes 4–6 months. The surgical placement itself takes approximately 1–2 hours.
Are dental implants painful?
The procedure is done under local anesthesia. Post-operative discomfort is typically mild and manageable with standard pain relief.
How long do dental implants last?
With proper oral hygiene and regular check-ups, dental implants can last a lifetime.
Veneers
Do veneers damage your natural teeth?
Veneer placement requires removing a thin layer of enamel. This is a permanent but minimally invasive process. The tooth remains protected by the veneer.
How many veneers do I need for a full smile transformation?
Most patients choose 6–10 veneers covering the teeth visible when smiling, but the number depends on your individual goals.
Can veneers stain?
Porcelain veneers are highly stain-resistant. Composite veneers can stain over time and may need polishing or replacement.
How long do veneers last?
Porcelain veneers typically last 10–15 years. Composite veneers last 5–7 years. Proper care extends their lifespan.
Crowns
What is the difference between a crown and a veneer?
A veneer covers only the front surface of a tooth. A crown covers the entire tooth. Crowns are used for more severely damaged or weakened teeth.
Do crowns look natural?
Yes. Modern porcelain crowns are designed to match the exact colour, shape, and translucency of your natural teeth.
How long does the crown procedure take?
Typically two appointments over 1–2 weeks. Preparation and fitting each take about 1–2 hours.
Teeth Whitening
How white will my teeth get after professional whitening?
Results vary by patient and initial shade. Most patients achieve 4–8 shades lighter in a single session.
Is professional whitening safe?
Yes. Professional whitening under dental supervision is safe. Some patients may experience temporary sensitivity, which resolves quickly.
Can I whiten if I have crowns or veneers?
Whitening only affects natural tooth enamel. It will not change the colour of existing restorations.
