FAQ
How long do facings last?
We estimate that a facing can last roughly from five to ten years. This, of course, depends on your lifestyle and drinking habits. If for example you smoke a lot and drink a lot of coffee then there’s a chance that your facings won’t remain looking good for a long time. It’s also possible that your facings could be damaged if for example you regularly grind your teeth or bite your nails.
Can I eat everything with facings?
After the treatment, it’s possible to eat and chew normally. Be careful not to bit hard things such as nuts, raw carrots or nails. Also, we advise you not to tear food apart with your teeth such as French bread.
Is the placing of facings painful?
The placing of facings is not painful. If teeth enamel needs to be filed down from your natural teeth, then this doesn’t go as deep as for example the drilling into a tooth. You shouldn’t experience any pain from this at all.
