In a recent blog, we talked about how Invisalign can help improve your smile if it is uneven. To help boost your confidence further, Grinnell Street Dental also offers other cosmetic treatments. If you have stains or blemishes on your teeth, bonding may be able to help disguise their appearance. Today, we are here to discuss how bonding compares to other enhancements.
What Can Bonding Improve
Do you have worn, discolored, or uneven teeth? This can happen over time due to a variety of problems. In some cases, these imperfections can be corrected with orthodontic treatment and professional teeth whitening. However, sometimes the problems are not severe enough to need braces, or whitening may not be able to correct the discoloration. Instead, a more conservative cosmetic option may be used. Cosmetic bonding uses composite resin to add to blemished areas. This material looks like your natural dentition and can be easily added to any area. It is highly durable and long-lasting, so you can have an improved smile for years to come. This is a great solution for patients with intrinsic staining or uneven teeth.
We Offer Professional Teeth Whitening
If your main concern is yellow or stained teeth, professional teeth whitening may be able to help. This option can help patients whose discoloration occurs on the surface of their pearly whites. Staining may be due to certain foods and beverages they consume. For example, if you frequently drink coffee or soda, you may notice that your pearly whites are not as bright as they once were. Professional whitening can be done in-office, or at home with our personalized kit. Unlike generic store-bought strips, this method is tailored to your needs and does not have the harsh chemicals that may come in the generic packages.
To do this, you will need a consultation to ensure this is the right option for your needs. Then, we can perform it in the office or create a kit for you to take home. The in-office treatment will take around one hour. A bleaching agent will be applied to your teeth and activated with a light. This helps break down the stains quickly. If you prefer to do this at home, you will wear your trays and gel every day for two hours at a time, usually for around 10 days.
Improve Multiple Concerns With Veneers
For patients looking for a more permanent smile improvement, we also offer porcelain veneers. This can help disguise the look of blemishes, uneven teeth, or small gaps. Like all other cosmetic enhancements, you will first need a consultation. It is important that your smile is free of cavities, and you do not have gum disease before having the porcelain veneers placed.
