What is the difference between a cosmetic dentist and an aesthetic dentist?

Cosmetic dentistry focuses on individual treatments like whitening or a veneer. Aesthetic dentistry looks at the whole smile as one composition — tooth shape, size, colour, proportion and how the smile works with the face. Dr. Sameena takes an aesthetic approach, designing smiles that look natural and balanced rather than simply treating one tooth at a time.

How long do dental veneers last?

Porcelain veneers typically last 10–15 years with proper care. Composite veneers last 5–7 years. Both can last longer depending on how well you maintain them and whether you avoid habits like nail biting or teeth grinding.

Is teeth whitening safe?

Yes. Professional teeth whitening done under dental supervision is safe and effective. Dr. Sameena uses clinical-grade whitening that is far more controlled than over-the-counter products. Sensitivity is possible for a day or two after — it settles on its own.

Can veneers fix gaps between teeth?

Yes. Veneers are one of the fastest ways to close small to moderate gaps. For larger gaps, Dr. Sameena may recommend composite bonding, Invisalign or a combination approach depending on the size of the gap and the result you are looking for.

What is a smile makeover?

A smile makeover is a planned combination of aesthetic treatments — whitening, veneers, bonding, gum contouring — designed to transform the appearance of your smile. Dr. Sameena designs each makeover around the individual patient's face, skin tone and desired outcome rather than applying a one-size-fits-all template.

How much does a smile makeover cost in Gurgaon?

Smile makeover costs vary based on the treatments involved. A consultation with Dr. Sameena at Aspen Dentals is the best starting point — she will assess your teeth, discuss your goals and give you a clear, itemised treatment plan with costs before any work begins.
