Many people find that their teeth begin to look darker or duller as time goes on. The good news is that professional dental whitening treatments can help to lessen existing stains and take years off of the appearance of your smile.
Dental bonding is another treatment that is used to whiten the appearance of a patient’s smile—bonding is especially helpful for those patients for whom topical whitening treatments are not effective. Dental bonding can also be used to close gaps between teeth, improve the visual alignment of the patient’s smile, and correct minor dental damage.
Porcelain veneers, which are thin, customized restorations, are attached over the patient’s natural enamel in order to resurface and refine the appearance of the smile. Every porcelain veneer is shaded, shaped, and sized to suit the individual. Once the veneer is applied it stay in place permanently and looks exceptionally natural.
There are also effective treatments that will straighten the alignment of your natural teeth. Traditional orthodontics move your teeth using metal brackets and wires. Invisalign is a more discreet, completely metal-free orthodontic alternative to conventional braces. The Invisalign system uses clear plastic aligners to apply consistent and constant pressure the person’s teeth. By wearing a series of aligners over the course of a number of months, the patient can perfect his or her smile.
