Everywhere you look these days it seems someone is flashing a super-white smile. If you’re envious of that white, bright smile, you should know your options. On occasion what you are noticing is a smile perfected with porcelain veneers but sometimes all you need to get a celebrity-worthy smile is the simple process of teeth whitening. Whitening your smile is a perfect way to refresh your look and take years off your appearance!
Whitening to Complement a Restoration
If you need restorative work on your smile – perhaps crowns or veneers on your front teeth – it’s important that the restorations match the rest of your teeth. While some doctors will darken the new restorations to match a dingy, discolored smile, we find that patients prefer that we use white restorations and smile whitening on the remaining teeth for an overall brilliant, white smile.
Helen’s Story
Our patient, Helen is great example of how combining new restorations with whitening can create an exceptionally beautiful smile. Helen had an old crown that looked unnatural and discolored, and her teeth were wearing and
chipping as well. Using teeth bleaching, bonding, and a new crown, we restored Helen’s beautiful smile.
Our Teeth Whitening System
We use the Day White system for extra effective, extra gentle whitening. Simply apply the bleaching gel to your custom made whitening trays and wear them for 30-60 minutes, once or twice a day. Within a week or two, your teeth will have reached your desired shade of whiteness.
