- Composite Bonding:
Composite tooth bonding is a cosmetic dentistry technique that can work wonders for your smile. Using materials that match the shade, translucency and texture of your teeth, tooth gaps can be closed; spots, chips, and discolorations can be eliminated and your self-confidence can be enhanced through the improved appearance of your smile.
- Lumineers (veneers):
A veneer is a thin, custom made porcelain shell that is cemented to the front surface of the tooth to achieve a different color or shape. It can be used to improve the appearance of a crooked, discolored, or chipped tooth.
- Invisalign:
The invisible way to straighten teeth without braces. The Invisalign system uses a series of clear, removable aligners to move your teeth over time to give you the smile you deserve.
- Tooth whitening:
Teeth can be whitened by using two different methods:
In office treatment: The Chair-side bleaching process whitens teeth quickly. A peroxide-based gel is applied to the teeth, then a curing light is applied to accelerate the whitening process. It activates the gel that produces the whitening effect. This procedure takes about an hour and a half and offers immediate results, although it may take more than one session to achieve the desired level of whiteness.
At-home treatment: Whitening teeth at home requires a custom-fitted mouthpiece to hold the whitening gel against tooth surfaces and can be done with overnight or hour-long treatments. At-home treatments typically take from two weeks to two months. Over-the-counter options are available for tooth whitening, such as Crest Tooth Whitening Strips. This method may be a better option for those who don’t want to wear a tray for a long period of time.
These products, as you may expect, are the least expensive, but take the longest to achieve results.
The most common side effect of any of these procedures is sensitivity to hot and cold, but that only lasts while you are using the product and tends to persist for one to two days afterwards.
