Full Smile Makeovers
Keeping your new smile bright and healthy comes down to good daily habits and regular dental care can help maintain your smile makeover. Most patients find that maintaining results is easy with a few simple practices.
Everyday habits that protect your smile:
- Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste
- Floss daily to prevent staining between teeth
- Limit coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco, which can discolor enamel and restorations
- Avoid chewing ice, pens, or hard foods that may chip teeth or veneers
- Wear a nightguard if you grind or clench
- Keep up with dental checkups
Professional cleanings remove stains and buildup that brushing alone can’t reach. Regular exams also help us monitor veneers, bonding, implants, or whitening results and address small issues early.
How long will smile makeover results last?
The longevity of your smile makeover varies by individual and depends on which treatments you received and how well you care for them:
- Porcelain veneers: 10–15 years or longer with proper care
- Dental crowns: 10-–15 years, sometimes much longer
- Teeth whitening: 6 months to 3 years before touch-ups needed (varies by habits)
- Dental bonding: 3–5 years, may need touch-ups sooner
- Invisalign results: Long-term if you wear retainers as directed
Every smile is different, so Dr. Hu will explain how long you can expect your results to last and how to keep your smile looking its best. With consistent care, most patients enjoy their makeover results for many years.
