You know for a fact that you are none too pleased with the drab appearance of your smile, thanks to discoloration. What you don’t know is which cosmetic dentistry treatment is appropriate for your needs. While patients often look to teeth whitening as the universal answer to all brightening needs, it is entirely possible that another service may better suit your unique requirements. Let’s do a bit of exploration with a Q&A session that will help identify which treatments are best for your type of staining.
Questions and Answers: Whitening Your Smile
Question: I thought teeth whitening was a good choice for most people – how do I know whether it’s right for me or not?
Answer: The best way to find out which cosmetic dentistry option is best for your smile and your goals is to contact us, so we may set up a cosmetic consultation. As for whitening itself, it is generally best for individuals looking for allover improvement, for those with natural teeth, and for those with mild to serious but not very deep staining.
Question: What if I have extremely serious or deep staining? Can you help me?
Answer: Yes, however we may steer you toward a cosmetic dentistry treatment known as porcelain veneers. These are ultra-slim ceramic casings custom-crafted to fit on the visible portion of your teeth. In addition to camouflaging discoloration, they offer a long list of additional esthetic benefits.
Question: What if I just have one tiny stain that is an eyesore but I don’t need such comprehensive cosmetic dentistry treatments?
Answer: We will likely suggest dental bonding, which will allow us to use color-customized composite to cover up a stain – your tooth will look uniform and beautiful once more.
