How long do veneers last?

With proper care, porcelain veneers typically last 10-15 years before needing replacement. Regular checkups and good oral hygiene help maximize their lifespan.

How long does teeth whitening last?

Professional teeth whitening results typically last 1-3 years depending on your diet, oral hygiene, and lifestyle habits (smoking, coffee, wine, etc.). Touch-up treatments can extend results.

Are cosmetic dental procedures painful?

Most cosmetic procedures involve minimal discomfort. We use local anesthesia when needed and offer sedation options for anxious patients. Many patients are surprised by how comfortable the experience is.

How much does cosmetic dentistry cost?

Costs vary based on the treatment. During your complimentary consultation, we'll provide a detailed quote and discuss flexible payment options. Many dental insurance plans cover certain cosmetic procedures.

Can I see what my smile will look like before treatment?

Yes! For veneers and major smile makeovers, we create a digital mock-up so you can preview your new smile before any work begins. You'll only proceed once you're 100% confident in the design.

What is Cosmetic Dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry focuses on enhancing the appearance of your smile — improving the color, shape, size, alignment, and overall look of your teeth. While cosmetic procedures are aesthetic in nature, they must be planned with your long-term oral health in mind.

Poorly executed cosmetic work can cause more problems than it solves, which is why our evidence-based approach prioritizes both beauty and long-term dental health.

What are Veneers and how do they differ from other cosmetic treatments?

Veneers are one of the most popular cosmetic procedures we offer. These ultra-thin porcelain shells are custom-crafted and permanently bonded to your natural teeth, instantly transforming their size, shape, color, and overall appearance.
Veneers differ from traditional white fillings (bondings) in that they are made out of porcelain by our laboratory. In natural lighting, porcelain can better replicate natural tooth characteristics.
Dr. Fazal Reza and our extended team have completed advanced training in cosmetic dentistry, ensuring you receive expert care from start to finish. With over a decade of international dental experience, we have the expertise to deliver the smile you've always dreamed of — confidently and beautifully.

What can I expect when I come into the office for cosmetic dental treatment?

The initial consultation will involve an examination and taking digital radiographs, preliminary models of your teeth and photographs.
The dentist will work with the laboratory to develop a simulation or “mock up” of what your teeth will look like after the treatment, and discuss any alternative options – Once you are satisfied with your plan. Your teeth will be prepared and scanned to be sent to the lab. Your dentist will fabricate temporaries to protect your teeth and give you a “test drive” of how the final design will look once it is back from the lab.
The final veneers will be permanently cemented in place after a thorough check of the fit as well as your approval of the esthetics.
Ongoing care and support both through regular checkups and cleanings are recommended to maintain your cosmetic dental work.
Many of our dentists and specialists have completed continuing education in various aspects of cosmetic dentistry so you can rest assured we have the expertise required to give you the smile you have always dreamed of!
