Because it\u2019s so popular, though, chances are you\u2019ve heard a rumor or two about the safety of some of these treatments! Rest assured, when overseen by a qualified professional, dental cosmetics are perfectly safe for your smile. Keep reading to see why you can be confident in these 3 treatments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Porcelain Veneers and Your Enamel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You might\u2019ve heard that during the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chenetdental.com\/porcelain-veneers.html\">porcelain veneer<\/a> process, your dentist will remove some of your enamel \u2013 which sounds important. Indeed, enamel reduction is not usually recommended! This is the outermost layer of your teeth, and it protects the more sensitive layers from bacteria, infection, and otherwise painful stimulus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, your dentist will only remove a tiny sliver of your enamel \u2013 about the thickness of a contact lens, to be exact. And since your veneers will effectively replace this outer layer as a dental shield, you\u2019ll likely experience no increased risk to your oral health after treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Teeth Whitening and Dental Sensitivity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Some people say that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chenetdental.com\/teeth-whitening.html\">teeth whitening<\/a> treatments can cause dental sensitivity. It\u2019s true that your smile might feel more tender after the special whitening agents lift the stains from your enamel, but this effect is usually temporary. The vast majority of patients feel normal again in about one or two weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Where you might experience more long-term sensitivity is if you receive a teeth whitening treatment with an active case of cavities. Fortunately, your dentist will thoroughly examine your mouth to make sure this doesn\u2019t happen!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Invisalign vs. Mail-In Aligners<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Why would you go through the trouble of getting impressions and seeing a dentist for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chenetdental.com\/invisalign.html\">Invisalign<\/a> when you could just have clear aligners mailed right to your doorstep? This is a question many patients wonder, and the answer is \u201cbecause it\u2019s not safe.\u201d Mail-order programs don\u2019t involve a licensed professional, and the trays are not customized for your mouth. Because of this, participants often find their teeth moving in the wrong direction!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a qualified dentist supervising your Invisalign treatment, that\u2019s not something you would have to worry about, and you can rest assured that your trays will fit perfectly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, dental cosmetics are minimal and noninvasive, making them extremely low-risk treatments. Plus, you can trust your dentist to be dedicated to your safety. If a treatment could put your oral health in danger, they\u2019ll let you know right away and help you find an alternative solution. Just put your confidence \u2013 and your smile \u2013 into their capable hands!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chenetdental.com\/our-office.html\">Dr. Chenet&#8217;s dental office,<\/a> we prioritize artistry, expertise, and technical skill \u2013 all things you want your cosmetic dentist to focus on!
