With that in mind, here\u2019s more about a few of the most sought-after treatments and their associated expected lifespans:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Teeth Whitening<\/strong> \u2013 Teeth whitening is among the most affordable and accessible of all cosmetic treatments, and it\u2019s ideal for patients who suffer from mild to moderate tooth staining. These treatments come in both store-bought and professional varieties, though your dentist is always going to produce better, lasting results. Under optimal circumstances, you can expect teeth whitening results to last anywhere from six months to three years.<\/li><li><strong>Direct Bonding<\/strong> \u2013 This treatment is suited for repairing minor flaws in teeth, including but not limited to chips and cracks. It utilizes a special composite resin that can be molded perfectly to compromised teeth. These results can last for up to 10 or so years before needing to be retouched.<\/li><li><strong>Veneers <\/strong>\u2013 Veneers are among the most comprehensive and effective cosmetic solutions, capable of completely transforming teeth in terms of size, shape, and color. They involve thin, customized coverings that are applied to the surfaces of treated teeth. They can last for 10 \u2013 15 years under ideal conditions.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips for Keeping Your Results Intact<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Among all the varying types of cosmetic treatments out there, they all have one thing in common\u2014they tend to rely on excellent oral hygiene to remain intact! With that in mind, consider the following tips:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Brush your teeth twice a day for two minutes each time using a soft-bristled brush coupled with a fluoride toothpaste.<\/li><li>Floss your teeth daily\u2014this habit is integral in the ongoing fight against oral health issues such as gum disease, tooth decay, and more.<\/li><li>Limit the number of dark-colored foods and beverages that you consume; items like coffee, tea, red wines and sauces, and more can all lead to tooth discoloration.<\/li><li>Avoid smoking and using tobacco products, as these habits can also lead to staining and other oral health issues.<\/li><li>Continue to visit your dentist for regular preventive care\u2014they can also touch up your cosmetic work if necessary.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The team at 32 &amp; You Family Dental and Orthodontic Arts is thrilled to provide families in the Denison community with an elite level of dental care!
