Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs
Whether you want a whiter smile, straighter teeth, or a complete makeover, cosmetic dentistry offers personalized solutions to enhance your confidence. At Dr. Jane R. Mays, we want patients to feel informed and comfortable with their treatment choices. Below are answers to some of the most common questions about cosmetic dental services.
What is cosmetic dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry focuses on enhancing the appearance of your smile. We offer treatments like teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, crowns, bridges, and Invisalign to improve the look and function of your teeth.
What’s the difference between cosmetic and preventive dentistry?
Preventive dentistry focuses on maintaining oral health by preventing, diagnosing, and treating issues like cavities, gum disease, and infections. Cosmetic dentistry enhances the appearance of your teeth and smile. Many cosmetic treatments also provide functional benefits, such as improving bite alignment or strengthening weakened teeth.
Can a cosmetic dentist fix my crooked teeth?
Yes. Cosmetic dentistry offers several options for improving the appearance of crooked teeth. Invisalign is a discreet way to gradually align your teeth, while porcelain veneers can help create a straighter-looking smile for minor misalignment. During your consultation, Dr. Mays will help determine the best approach based on your goals and dental health.
Is cosmetic dentistry only about appearances?
While cosmetic dentistry enhances the look of your smile, it can also improve dental health and function. For example, veneers can strengthen weak teeth, and Invisalign helps align your bite for better long-term oral health.
What are my options for whitening my teeth?
We offer both in-office and at-home whitening treatments. Our professional teeth whitening services provide faster, more noticeable results than over-the-counter products. In-office treatment can brighten your smile in a single visit, while take-home trays offer a gradual approach for long-term whitening.
How long do cosmetic dental treatments last?
The longevity of cosmetic treatments varies. Teeth whitening results may last several months with proper care. Porcelain veneers and dental crowns often last 10–15 years. Invisalign results are long-term, but wearing retainers helps maintain alignment.
How do I know which cosmetic treatment is right for me?
The best way to determine the right cosmetic treatment is through a consultation with Dr. Mays. She will evaluate your smile, discuss your goals, and recommend solutions tailored to your needs.
