Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs
Cosmetic dentistry at Haid Dental goes beyond looks—it’s about helping you feel confident every time you smile. Whether you’re dealing with discoloration, uneven teeth, or an older restoration that no longer matches your smile, our team offers personalized treatments that combine precision, artistry, and care. Here are some frequently asked questions to guide you as you consider enhancing your smile.
I’ve never had cosmetic dentistry before—how do I know what’s right for me?
The best place to start is with a conversation. During your consultation, we’ll listen to your concerns, evaluate your teeth and bite, and discuss what changes you’d like to see. From there, we’ll recommend options that fit your goals—whether that’s a subtle update or a full smile makeover.
Are cosmetic treatments safe for my teeth?
Yes. When performed correctly, cosmetic procedures are both safe and conservative. We focus on preserving as much natural tooth structure as possible while delivering results that look and feel great. Our goal is to improve aesthetics without compromising long-term oral health.
What if my teeth are healthy but just don’t look the way I want?
That’s exactly what cosmetic dentistry is for. If your teeth are functionally sound but you’re unhappy with their appearance—due to chips, spacing, minor crowding, or discoloration—we offer solutions like bonding, dental crowns, and teeth whitening to help you achieve the smile you envision.
Can cosmetic dental work be done gradually?
Yes. Some patients prefer to spread out their treatment over time, whether for budget reasons or personal comfort. We’re happy to create a phased plan that prioritizes your most pressing concerns while allowing flexibility along the way.
I had cosmetic work done years ago—can it be updated?
Absolutely. Materials and techniques in cosmetic dentistry have advanced significantly. If you have older veneers, bonding, or crowns that no longer match your natural teeth, we can update them to better blend with your current smile and improve durability.
Do you offer whitening options for sensitive teeth?
We do. If you’ve experienced sensitivity with over-the-counter whitening, we can customize an approach that’s gentler but still effective. From in-office treatments to take-home trays with lower-concentration gels, we’ll find a method that works for your comfort level and lifestyle.
Will people be able to tell I’ve had cosmetic dental work done?
Most people won’t notice you’ve had work done—they’ll just notice your smile looks great. We take a subtle, natural-looking approach to cosmetic treatment, carefully selecting shades, shapes, and materials that complement your features rather than overpower them.
Your smile should make you feel like the best version of yourself. Call Haid Dental in Dublin today to schedule a cosmetic consultation and take the next step toward a smile you love to share.
