How long do cosmetic treatments take?
That depends on the problems you want to address and the procedures used in your treatment. Some treatments can be completed in a day, others in a few weeks, and complex treatments like implants may take months or years to complete.Â

Cosmetic treatments do an amazing job of improving your smile’s aesthetics. The results vary, however, depending on the procedure used and how well you care for your teeth afterward.
