Teeth whitening
This is an aesthetic treatment designed to lighten the natural color of teeth.
The whitening method offered by Dentown Dental Center is home bleaching with trays.
After an oral examination and cleaning, the dentist will take impressions to make your customized teeth whitening trays. When these are ready, they’ll be adjusted, and then we’ll give you instructions on how to apply the peroxide gel. When peroxide comes into contact with teeth, it eliminates accumulated pigments and thus modifies tooth color.
Ask us for advice if you are considering this treatment.
Veneers
Dental veneers are thin shells made of either composite or porcelain. They are installed on the front of the teeth to improve aesthetic appearance.
Composite veneer
Composite veneers are made by the dentist directly in the dental chair, so only one appointment is required. This is a thin layer of composite resin, a tooth-colored material, which is applied and sculpted directly onto the visible surface of a tooth to improve its appearance.
Porcelain veneer
The porcelain veneer is custom-made in the laboratory and cemented onto the surface of your tooth. This procedure requires two appointments: the first to prepare your tooth and take the impression, and the second to cement the veneer onto your tooth.
Take the time to discuss with your dentist which option is right for you.
