Like any other cosmetic procedure, cosmetic dental treatments also have limited life span yet may have long-term consequences. Teeth that have been bleached do not stay white forever. You may have to come back to your dentist for future treatments but the decision to do so is your prerogative. Good thing that this procedure does not involve structural changes so it becomes optional. On the other hand, having veneers or dental crowns also means regular veneering or dental crown replacement when the originals break or deteriorate. This also applies to dental bonding. It is best to always ask your dentist about long term maintenance.

Direct restorations are the most common restorations. They refer to fillings that are consisted of dental amalgam or silver fillings, glass ionomers and resin ionomers or white fillings. These are then placed into a prepared cavity. This procedure is done in only one visit to the dentist. On the other hand, Indirect restorations are custom made fillings in dental laboratories, according to the prescription made by the dentist. The actual procedure may be finished in two visits. Indirect restoration is more expensive than direct restorations since the former consists of a more complex (at least for me) layer of inlays, onlays, dental crowns, and bridges.
