Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs
At Smile Hilliard, and our caring team believe everyone deserves a smile they feel proud of. Cosmetic dentistry isn’t just about looks — it’s about boosting your confidence, enhancing how you feel in everyday life, and helping your smile reflect the best version of you. Below are answers to some common questions about our cosmetic dental services.
If you’re looking for quick improvements, treatments like professional in-office whitening or cosmetic bonding are ideal. Our in-office whitening can dramatically brighten your teeth in a single 60–90 minute visit. Cosmetic bonding uses tooth-colored resin to repair chips, close small gaps, or reshape teeth — often in just one appointment.
Yes – in many cases. While severe misalignment may require orthodontic treatment, cosmetic options such as bonding or veneers can improve the appearance of slightly crooked, misshapen, or uneven teeth.
It depends on the procedure. Simple treatments like bonding or in-office whitening are often completed in a single appointment. More involved procedures (like veneers) may require multiple visits. The total timeline will depend on your individual treatment plan and goals.
Dental Bonding can stain over time — especially if you frequently consume coffee, tea, red wine, or tobacco. Veneers (particularly porcelain ones) are more stain-resistant than bonding, but no cosmetic restoration is entirely immune to staining.
Dental veneers can dramatically transform the color, shape, and symmetry of your teeth — but they may require removing a thin layer of enamel. Once you get porcelain veneers, the change is essentially permanent, so it’s essential to have a full review and consult with Dr. Sanyk about what you want to achieve. Veneers work best if you have healthy teeth and gums, and you’re committed to maintaining good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups.
Generally, yes — but it depends on what treatment you choose. After bonding or teeth whitening, most patients resume normal eating and drinking immediately. For veneers or more extensive cosmetic work, we’ll provide guidance tailored to your specific needs.
Some treatments, like bonding, are relatively conservative and reversible (or at least repairable if needed). Veneers tend to be more permanent — especially if enamel removal is involved. That’s why it’s important to discuss your goals and long-term plans with Dr. Sanyk before proceeding.
At Smile Hilliard, our goal is to help you achieve a smile that looks natural, feels comfortable, and boosts your confidence — all delivered with gentle, professional care. Call us at 614-534-0257 to schedule your consultation!
