Let’s dive in and look closely at cosmetic dental procedures and commonly asked questions about them often heard by Drs. Munira Lokhandwala and Maryum Tariq.
What is Cosmetic Dentistry?
Cosmetic Dentistry mostly constitutes elective procedures that can be used to make your smile better and more attractive. Dental care in previous decades was limited to doing just the bare minimum needed to keep teeth from falling apart. However, in recent years people have become more aware of their smiles and the fact that it has an effect on their day-to-day interactions with people work and in social circles. Cosmetic dentistry fulfills this need to present oneself in the best light. It all starts with a smile, and so having a good smile makes for a great first impression
Cosmetic dental procedures such as teeth straightening (Invisalign), Porcelain Veneers (Lumineers), Dental Implants for replacing missing teeth are all now widely accepted and practiced by dentists all over the world.

Who is considered the best and proper candidate for cosmetic dental procedures?
Cosmetic dentistry is a solution for everyone, from young adults to the elderly. It caters to people who have lost their teeth due to age, accident, or neglect, those who have discolored teeth from heavy tobacco or coffee use, or anyone who did not have the opportunity for orthodontic care in their youth. Cosmetic dentistry can rejuvenate your smile if you have misshapen, missing, or stained teeth.
How long will I enjoy the results of my cosmetic dentistry?
The length of your dental treatment can range from a year to a lifetime, depending on the procedure. Teeth whitening, for instance, can give you that dazzling smile but may require occasional touch-ups as your teeth gradually regain some staining over time. On the other hand, dental solutions such as Invisalign orthodontics or dental implants are designed to last significantly longer, potentially for a lifetime. Porcelain veneers, too, can last over a decade, given that they are correctly installed and properly maintained every day.
What are some specific examples of cosmetic dentistry procedures?
Invisalign perfectly aligns your smile, while porcelain veneers or Lumineers are the optimal solutions for improving the appearance of stained, misaligned, damaged, or worn teeth. Dental implants are your best bet if you’re dealing with missing teeth. When you consult with our dental team, you can learn about all we offer in cosmetic procedures.
How does today’s technology improve cosmetic dental procedures?
The field of dentistry has experienced significant technological advancements. Technology has greatly accelerated the progress in global dental care with the emergence of specialized polymers for white fillings, finely crafted porcelain veneers as thin as eggshells, and ceramic crowns.
