FAQ
What is cosmetic dentistry, and how does it differ from general dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of teeth, gums and overall smile aesthetics. Unlike general dentistry, which prioritizes oral health and preventive care, cosmetic treatments address issues such as discoloration, uneven spacing and chipped teeth. Dr. Seaman ensures that cosmetic treatments also support your overall oral health, combining function and beauty.
What types of concerns can cosmetic dentistry address?
Cosmetic dentistry can correct a wide range of dental imperfections, including stained or discolored teeth, chipped or cracked teeth, misaligned or crowded teeth and gaps between teeth. It can also help improve the overall symmetry and balance of your smile. Dr. Seaman works with you to create a customized plan tailored to your unique needs.
Are cosmetic dental treatments permanent?
The longevity of cosmetic treatments depends on the type of procedure and your oral care routine. Some treatments, like whitening, may require periodic maintenance, while others, like certain restorations, can last many years with proper care. Our dentist and team will provide detailed aftercare instructions to help you maintain long-lasting results.
Does cosmetic dentistry improve oral health or just aesthetics?
While the primary goal of cosmetic dentistry is to enhance the appearance of your smile, many treatments also improve oral health. For example, correcting misaligned teeth can reduce the risk of decay and gum disease, while restoring damaged teeth can improve chewing function. Our dentist will ensure treatments benefit both form and function.
Is cosmetic dentistry painful?
Most cosmetic dental treatments are minimally invasive and cause little to no discomfort. For procedures requiring more significant work, Dr. Seaman uses advanced techniques and numbing options to ensure your comfort. Many patients find cosmetic dentistry to be a pleasant experience that transforms their smile with minimal downtime.
