What is the recovery time for cosmetic dental procedures?

  • Teeth Whitening: Wait 48 hours before eating or drinking liquids that could stain your teeth after whitening. (i.e. coffee, tea, etc.)
  • Dental Veneers: You will experience sensitivity for up to 2 weeks after getting dental veneers. Experiencing such discomfort is normal.
  • Dental Implants: You may experience discomfort for 2-3 days after the initial implant placement. Full integration of the dental implant with your jawbone often takes anywhere from 3-6 months and is required before a crown can be placed on the implant. Dental implants can last a lifetime with proper oral hygiene.
  • Dental Crowns & Bridges: There will be mild pain and discomfort for 2-3 days after you get your crown or bridge. Sensitivity to hot and cold can last for several weeks.
  • Dentures: After getting dentures, sores are common but can be fixed by adjusting your dentures until they fit perfectly.
  • Dental Bonding: Luckily, dental bonding doesn’t require any recovery time. Continue visiting your dentist regularly to help it last longer.
