TOOTH WHITENING
The popular culture in North America sets the standard of whiteness of one’s teeth pretty high. Those who choose to follow them are often faced with certain challenges. Age, food preferences, habits, and simply genetic differences determine the shade of their teeth.
If there are restorations placed in the front teeth because of caries or fractures, over time they become discolored and unsightly. Existing crowns or veneers may not be satisfactory anymore.
Teeth can be whitened with over-the-counter products with a fairly good result or with the help of a dentist. In any case, it is a good idea to have your dentist examine your particular case.
As crowns and fillings do not respond to whitening products, you may get poor results where you have them. The stains on your teeth could be extrinsic and therefore removable by simple cleaning.
Finally, there are some types of discolorations like tetracycline stain following endodontic treatment, that may not respond to any bleaching. In those cases, you might need other dental solutions, such as porcelain veneers or crowns.
PORCELAIN VENEERS
These highly aesthetic lab-made restorations are used to correct both shade and alignment of the front teeth to create a “perfect smile”. These dental veneers require very little tooth preparation and at least two appointments to make. They are bonded (glued) to the teeth permanently.
Book a consultation with us today for more details on whether porcelain veneers are the right dental restoration option for the ultimate white teeth smile makeover.
CROWNS
Just like veneers, crowns are made in a laboratory. They are tooth-shaped shells installed for various reasons like when veneers are not possible. Dental crowns require significant tooth preparation (cutting).
Modern crowns are highly aesthetic and provide resistance to tooth fracture. Your dentist will decide whether you need porcelain crowns, traditional crowns, ceramic crowns, veneers, or other dental care services.
DENTAL RESTORATIONS( FILLINGS)
While amalgam fillings have benefits like permanence, their cons outweigh their pros. What’s more, there are better alternatives like composite resin fillings (white tooth-colored fillings) that stand out in many ways from being more aesthetically pleasing to being wear-resistant with hardness that matches amalgam.
REMOVABLE DENTURES
Removable full dentures are a full set of artificial teeth that fit over the gums. The dentures are removed at night and differ in type based on the number of teeth lost, gum/jawbone condition, and your dentist’s suggestion.
DENTAL IMPLANTS
Dental implants are a permanent solution to tooth loss. Unlike dentures, they are fixed permanently replacing tooth roots. Dental implants replace missing teeth with artificial ones that look and function like natural teeth. The procedure offers permanent solid support for new teeth. However, it requires time to allow the jawbone to heal.
