Treatment Questions

Why do I need retainers following clear aligners?

Retainers are essential after orthodontic treatment because teeth naturally tend to shift back to their original positions — a process called relapse. Without retainers, your straightened teeth will gradually move, potentially undoing months of treatment. We recommend wearing retainers nightly to maintain your new smile alignment permanently. Our cosmetic team explains that consistent retainer use is the only way to ensure your investment in straight teeth lasts a lifetime.

Does composite bonding hurt?

No, composite bonding is completely pain-free and requires no anaesthetic in most cases. This non-invasive cosmetic treatment involves applying tooth-coloured resin directly to your teeth without drilling or removing tooth structure. Patients typically experience no discomfort during or after the procedure. The entire process usually takes 1–2 hours depending on how many teeth are being treated, and you can return to normal activities immediately.

What is cheaper composite veneers or porcelain veneers?

Composite veneers are significantly more affordable than porcelain veneers, typically costing 40–60% less. Composite veneers offer excellent aesthetic results for a lower investment, though porcelain veneers typically last longer (10–15 years vs 5–7 years). Visit our pricing page for detailed treatment costs and flexible payment options.

Do you have to have your teeth shaved down into pegs for veneers?

No, modern veneer techniques don't require aggressive tooth reduction. Composite veneers at Veeyes Dental require minimal to no tooth preparation — we simply add material to your existing teeth. Porcelain veneers require only 0.3–0.5mm of enamel removal (about the thickness of a fingernail) to ensure proper fit and natural appearance. The "peg teeth" misconception comes from outdated techniques. Our minimally invasive approach preserves your natural tooth structure whilst achieving beautiful results.

What kind of clear aligners do you use?

Veeyes Dental offers the full range of leading clear aligner systems including Invisalign Go (minor corrections), Invisalign Lite (moderate cases), Invisalign Comprehensive (complex cases), and Invisalign i7 (very minor adjustments), as well as competitively priced alternatives. During your consultation, we'll recommend the most suitable aligner system for your specific needs and budget.

Can you mix multiple treatments together?

Yes, Veeyes Dental specialises in comprehensive smile makeovers combining multiple treatments. Popular combinations include teeth straightening followed by whitening and composite bonding (our ABC method: Align, Brighten, Contour), or dental implants with veneers for adjacent teeth. Combining treatments often provides better overall results and can be more cost-effective. We create personalised treatment plans that address all your cosmetic concerns in the most efficient sequence.

How long does teeth whitening last?

Professional teeth whitening at Veeyes Dental typically lasts 1–2 years, depending on your lifestyle and oral hygiene habits. Results last longer if you avoid staining foods and drinks like coffee, red wine, and curry, and don't smoke. Our dentist-supervised whitening treatments provide longer-lasting results than over-the-counter products. We offer top-up treatments to maintain your bright smile, and many patients refresh their whitening annually. With our custom whitening trays, maintaining your results is convenient and affordable.

What's the difference between composite bonding and veneers?

Composite bonding involves applying tooth-coloured resin directly to your teeth to fix chips, gaps, or discolouration — it's reversible and requires no tooth preparation. Veneers are thin shells (either composite or porcelain) that cover the entire front surface of teeth for complete transformation. Bonding is ideal for minor corrections, while veneers suit patients wanting dramatic smile makeovers.

How long do dental implants take from start to finish?

The complete dental implant process at Veeyes Dental typically takes 3–6 months. Initial consultation and planning takes 1–2 weeks, implant placement surgery takes 1–2 hours, then 3–4 months healing time (osseointegration) while the implant fuses with your jawbone. Final crown fitting takes 2–3 appointments over 2–3 weeks. Immediate implants and same-day teeth options are available for suitable candidates. Complex cases requiring bone grafting may extend treatment to 9–12 months.

Can Invisalign fix an overbite?

Yes, Invisalign and clear aligners effectively treat mild to moderate overbites. Our aligner systems use precisely calculated movements to shift teeth and correct bite issues. Severe overbites may require additional attachments or elastics. Treatment typically takes 12–18 months for overbite correction. During your consultation at Veeyes Dental, we'll assess your specific case using 3D scanning to determine if clear aligners can achieve your desired results.

How many veneers do I need for a full smile makeover?

Most patients need 6–10 veneers for a complete smile transformation — typically the teeth visible when smiling (6 upper front teeth minimum). For a full "Hollywood smile," 8–10 upper veneers and sometimes 6–8 lower veneers create the most balanced result. The exact number depends on your smile width, gum display, and aesthetic goals. During your consultation, we'll photograph your smile from multiple angles to recommend the optimal number of veneers for natural-looking results.

Before Your Treatment

Do I have to see a Hygienist prior to a composite bonding appointment?

Yes, a hygiene appointment is mandatory before composite bonding treatment at Veeyes Dental. This ensures your teeth and gums are in optimal health for the procedure. Our dental hygienists remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains, creating the ideal conditions for composite bonding to adhere properly. This pre-treatment hygiene session typically takes 45–60 minutes and significantly improves your bonding results and longevity.

Why is it important to have healthy gums prior to composite bonding?

Healthy gums are crucial for successful composite bonding because bleeding or inflamed gums can compromise the treatment. When gums bleed during the bonding procedure, blood can mix with the composite material, causing discolouration and preventing proper adhesion. Additionally, unhealthy gums may recede after treatment, exposing the bonding edges and creating aesthetic issues. Our hygienists ensure your gums are healthy before any cosmetic treatment begins.

What kind of payments do you accept?

Veeyes Dental accepts multiple payment methods for your convenience: cash, all major credit/debit cards, bank transfers, and flexible finance options through our partners. We offer 0% APR finance plans allowing you to spread treatment costs over 6–48 months (subject to status, minimum spend ₹10,000). Our Treatment Consultants will discuss all payment options during your consultation and help create a payment plan that suits your budget.

Am I suitable for dental implants?

Most adults with good general health are suitable for dental implants at Veeyes Dental. Key requirements include adequate jawbone density, healthy gums, and commitment to oral hygiene. Factors that may affect suitability include uncontrolled diabetes, heavy smoking, active gum disease, or certain medications. Age isn't a barrier — we've successfully treated patients in their 80s. Our comprehensive assessment includes CBCT 3D scanning to evaluate bone density and create your personalised treatment plan.

Can I get veneers if I grind my teeth?

Yes, you can have veneers even if you grind your teeth (bruxism), but we'll need to address the grinding first. At Veeyes Dental, we provide custom night guards to protect your new veneers from grinding damage. Modern porcelain veneers are highly durable and resistant to wear. We may recommend stronger materials like zirconia for severe grinders. Many patients find that their new, properly aligned smile actually reduces grinding habits. Protection and monitoring ensure your investment lasts.

Do I need a referral to see a cosmetic dentist?

No, you don't need a referral to visit Veeyes Dental for cosmetic dentistry treatments. As a private cosmetic dental practice, we accept self-referrals for all treatments including veneers, teeth whitening, dental implants, and smile makeovers. Simply book a consultation directly through our website or call our clinic. We also accept referrals from general dentists for complex cosmetic cases or specialist treatments.

Is cosmetic dentistry covered by insurance?

However, some procedures may have partial coverage if there's a functional component — for example, crowns for damaged teeth or implants replacing missing teeth. We recommend checking your specific policy details. Veeyes Dental provides detailed treatment plans and coding to help you claim any eligible benefits. Our team can assist with insurance paperwork.
