Cosmetic FAQs
At Hicks Family Dentistry, Dr. Kevin Hicks and his team believe every patient deserves to feel confident in their smile. Whether you’re interested in whitening, veneers, or a full smile makeover, cosmetic dentistry can enhance both your appearance and self-esteem. Below, we’ve answered some of the most common questions about our cosmetic treatments to help you understand your options and what to expect.
If you’re looking to improve the appearance of your teeth—whether that means whitening, reshaping, closing gaps, or replacing old restorations—you may be a good candidate for cosmetic treatment. Good oral health is the foundation, so any decay or gum disease must be addressed first.
They serve different purposes. Dental veneers are thin shells bonded to the front of healthy teeth to improve color, shape, or size. Crowns encase the entire tooth and are used when a tooth has more extensive damage or structural issues. If the underlying tooth is strong and you want to enhance aesthetics, veneers are ideal.
Bonding uses a tooth-coloured resin applied directly to the tooth and shaped in the chair. It’s more cost-effective and quicker, but may stain or chip more easily. Veneers are crafted in a lab and bonded permanently, offering superior aesthetics and durability.
No cosmetic treatment is entirely permanent, but many results are long-lasting with proper care. Veneers and crowns can last 10–15 years or more, while bonding may need touch-ups sooner. Teeth whitening is another cosmetic service that may require follow up visits. Regular hygiene visits, adopting mindful habits (such as avoiding biting hard objects), and limiting excess staining will help you maintain your new smile.
Yes! Many patients combine treatments—such as whitening followed by veneers or crowns—to achieve a comprehensive smile upgrade. We coordinate the sequence and timing to help you reach your aesthetic goals efficiently and comfortably.
Treat your enhanced teeth just as you would your natural ones: brush twice a day, floss daily, and visit our office for regular cleanings and exams. Avoid chewing on hard items (such as ice, pens, or fingernails) and minimize staining habits (like coffee, red wine, or tobacco) to preserve your results.
