The lifespan of cosmetic dental treatments varies depending on the procedure, materials used, and how well you maintain your smile. Dr. Haley Julian selects high-quality materials and uses precise techniques to maximize the durability of your results, but your daily habits play a crucial role in their longevity.
Lifespan of Cosmetic Dentistry
Typical longevity for common cosmetic treatments:
- Professional teeth whitening: 1–3 years with good habits and occasional touch-ups
- Porcelain veneers: 10–15 years with proper care and regular dental visits
- Composite bonding: 5–7 years, though touch-ups may be needed sooner
- Clear aligners: Results can last a lifetime with consistent retainer use
How to Protect Your Investment
Dr. Julian provides specific care instructions for each treatment to ensure the results last as long as possible. This includes guidance on which foods and beverages to avoid, proper cleaning techniques, and when to schedule maintenance visits. She'll also alert you to signs that touch-ups or replacements may be needed, helping you maintain your results proactively rather than waiting for visible wear.
