Teeth whitening
Teeth whitening is one of the most common cosmetic treatments. It makes teeth appear a few shades lighter. Bleach is generally used to achieve the desired result.
Over time, discoloration can slowly change the color of teeth. This can be caused by cigarette smoke, coffee or tea, or even the food you eat. Poor dental hygiene can also lead to discoloration. Teeth whitening is a relatively quick procedure. Some patients may experience slight tooth sensitivity immediately after bleaching, but this should subside within a few hours. Professional tooth cleaning is recommended about a week before bleaching.
Veneers
Dental veneers are very widespread. These are essentially thin layers of ceramic or composite bonded directly to the front of the teeth. This option is generally recommended for patients who have multiple teeth that need to be restored.
With veneers, you can create a completely even smile if you have several discolored, cracked or chipped teeth.
Lab technicians create the ceramic veneers on the basis of a digital impression/scan of your mouth. A follow-up appointment is required to bond the veneers to your teeth.
Composite veneers can occasionally be completed in one day. We model the material on your teeth.
Smile Makeover
A “smile makeover” refers to a series of procedures that aim to improve your smile. These can include any combination of the dental procedures discussed, including crowns, veneers or teeth whitening.
