 Whitening is the most commonly prescribed cosmetic dental procedure, many whitening options are now available to consumers in a wide range of prices. Dentist-supervised treatments remain the most recommended and reliable procedures for lightening discolored teeth. |
|
| Supervised bleaching procedures that are done in-office and at-home have become among the most popular treatment options. In some cases, the procedure is performed entirely in the office, using a light or heat source to speed up the bleaching process. In other cases, an oral health care professional gets the procedure started during an office visit and then gives you what you need to complete it at home. |
|
| Determining whether a patient is a candidate for whitening is largely based upon diagnosing the exact cause of the tooth discoloration. Careful clinical examination and X-rays help determine if whitening is indicated for the strength and condition of the patient's teeth. |

| 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, gaps between the teeth can be closed, spots, chips, and discolorations can be eliminated, and your self-confidence can be enhanced through the improved appearance of your smile. Composite bonding is excellent for small defects in the teeth - spots, chips, or gaps between teeth. For smile alterations involving the entire tooth or multiple teeth, porcelain is the material usually chosen by cosmetic dentists. |
|
 Tooth bonding is usually a one-visit procedure. The tooth is prepared by lightly roughening the area to be repaired, which usually doesn't require anesthetic. Then the surface of the tooth is etched with a gel, and a treatment of bonding primers and resins is applied to the tooth. Then the composite is applied. |
|
| Dental composites are materials made of acrylic resins impregnated with inorganic fillers, and containing photoinitiators. They are made to a paste-like consistency so that they can be sculpted to the proper shape. They contain various pigments which are matched to your tooth color, and they come in varying degrees of translucency, with careful attention paid to their polishability. This composite is applied to your tooth, sometimes in several layers in order to duplicate the depth of color that occurs in a natural tooth. A high-intensity curing light is then used to harden it. With careful artistry, this composite can be manipulated to mimic the color details and translucency of your tooth, and polished to a beautiful shine. |

| Porcelain veneers are thin wafers the thickness of a fingernail that a cosmetic dentist will bond to your tooth to give the tooth a whole new look. Porcelain veneers are the classiest way to improve your smile. They can change the color, spacing, alignment, length, or shape of your teeth. |

 If you feel a need to make some improvement in your smile, it may help you to know that you are not alone. While an attractive smile is widely viewed as a social and business asset, is it interesting to note that half of all Americans are unhappy with their smiles. If you need a whole new smile, porcelain veneers are the way to go. Porcelain veneers are the most beautiful restorations made in dentistry today. Nothing exceeds porcelain for life-like beauty. It mimics natural teeth in color, translucency, and surface texture. In addition, its very high resistance to wear makes it very long-lasting. It does not discolor, even after many years. |
|
| With porcelain veneers, you can have the smile you want. The teeth can be re-shaped and re-colored with a great deal of artistic latitude. There are limitations, but the results are fairly predictable. The amount of whiteness you want can be incorporated into the porcelain, up to the limits of the material. If you want teeth that are as white, radiant, healthy-looking and straight as possible, porcelain is the ultimate choice. |
