The entire process for receiving a same-day crown typically takes about two hours or less, depending on the complexity of your case.

There may be a small amount of discomfort during the first few days as your teeth adjust to the new aligners. Your teeth may also be a bit tender after switching out each aligner due to the pressure placed on them during movement.

Veneers offer several benefits over other cosmetic dental treatments, including:
During the procedure, local anesthesia is usually administered in order to reduce discomfort during the preparation process, where some amount of enamel needs to be removed from each tooth before placing the new veneers over them. Once all steps have been completed, patients typically don’t report feeling any pain since all changes have already been applied and adjusted accordingly by their dentist beforehand.
Veneers work by bonding a ceramic shell to the front of your existing teeth. The shells are custom-made to fit your teeth perfectly, and the dentist will match the colour of your veneers to your natural teeth to create a seamless look. Once the veneers are placed, they are bonded to your teeth using a special dental adhesive.
The cost of veneers can vary depending on the type, quality, and the number of veneers needed. Compared to other cosmetic dental treatments, veneers are typically more expensive. It is important to speak with your dentist about payment options prior to getting veneers.

Dental implant coverage varies by insurance plan. It's best to check with your insurance provider to determine what is covered and what is not.
Most patients report minimal discomfort during the dental implant placement procedure. After the procedure, patients typically experience some mild discomfort and swelling, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication.
The length of time it takes to receive dental implants depends on several factors, such as the number of implants being placed, the condition of the patient's jawbone, and the overall health of the patient. On average, the process can take anywhere from three to nine months.
Dental implants provide a permanent solution for missing teeth, whereas dentures are typically removable. Implants also provide a more stable and comfortable fit, and they don't slip or shift as dentures can. Implants also help to preserve the jawbone, which can shrink over time when a tooth is missing.
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that provide a permanent base for fixed or removable replacement teeth. They are a popular and effective option for people who have lost teeth due to injury, periodontal disease, or other reasons.
