ABOUT COSMETIC DENTISTRY

Frequently Asked Questions

What is cosmetic dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of your teeth, gums, and smile. It includes treatments like dental veneers and teeth whitening to enhance color, shape, alignment, and overall aesthetics.

What are dental veneers?

Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells placed on the front of your teeth to improve their appearance. They are commonly used to fix discoloration, chips, gaps, and minor misalignment.

How many visits are needed for veneers?
  • Composite veneers: usually completed in 1 visit
  • Porcelain and zirconia veneers: typically 2–3 visits
How long do veneers last?
  • Composite Veneers: 5–10 years
  • Porcelain Veneers: 8–15+ years
  • Zirconia Veneers: Can last decades with proper care
Are veneers better than braces?

Veneers are ideal for minor alignment and aesthetic concerns, while braces are recommended for more complex orthodontic issues. Your dentist will advise the best treatment based on your case.

How do I maintain my veneers?

To keep your veneers in good condition:

  • Brush and floss daily
  • Avoid biting hard objects (ice, candy, packaging)
  • Limit staining foods and drinks (especially for composite)
  • Wear a night guard if you grind your teeth
  • Visit your dentist regularly
How much does cosmetic dentistry cost in the Philippines?

The cost varies depending on the treatment and materials used. At Elevate Dental, veneers typically start at:

  • Composite Veneers: PHP 10,000 per tooth
  • Porcelain Veneers: PHP 25,000 per tooth
  • Zirconia Veneers: PHP 28,000 per tooth

A personalized consultation is recommended for accurate pricing.

Is cosmetic dentistry permanent?

Some treatments are long-lasting but not permanent. Veneers and restorations may need replacement after several years.

Is cosmetic dentistry painful?

Most cosmetic dentistry procedures are minimally invasive and involve little to no discomfort. Local anesthesia may be used when necessary to ensure a comfortable experience.

Can you eat normally with veneers?

Yes. You can eat most foods, but it’s best to avoid very hard items like ice or hard candy to prevent damage.

Can you drink coffee with veneers?

Yes, but moderation is recommended. Porcelain and zirconia resist stains, while composite veneers may discolor over time.

What foods should you avoid with veneers?

Avoid hard and sticky foods such as:

  • Ice
  • Hard candy
  • Nuts (biting directly)
  • Sticky sweets
Can you go back to natural teeth after veneers?

No. Since a small amount of enamel is usually removed, veneers are considered an irreversible treatment.

What disqualifies you for veneers?

You may not be a good candidate if you have:

  • Severe tooth decay
  • Gum disease
  • Weak enamel
  • Heavy teeth grinding (unless managed)
What are the risks of cosmetic dentistry?

Risks are minimal when performed by experienced dentists but may include:

  • Sensitivity
  • Wear or damage over time
  • Need for replacement
Is cosmetic dentistry worth it?

For many patients, yes. Cosmetic dentistry improves both appearance and confidence, making it a valuable long-term investment.
