Cosmetic Dentistry and Teeth Bleaching.
So you’re looking in the mirror this A. M. And what did you see?? Was it white bright handsome teeth, or like the better part of the people were they looking a little dull?
Like most things in life teeth steadily fade to yellow in color.
It appears that nearly every cosmetic company has attempted to monopolize this industry with everything from lightening toothpaste to bleaching strips.
Take-home lightening systems using trays and lightening gel or in-office, for immediate lightening results using a light turned on gel to brighten teeth.
How are the procedures used?
Take Home bleaching kits.
This is accomplished by trying a custom-made tray that is then layered with a prescription bleaching gel 30mins to many hours at a time ( depending on how delicate your teeth are ).
Your dentist will arrange an appointment with you to take a custom impression that may then be used as a mold to make custom trays.
Once the lightening trays are prepared you’ll have another appointment with your dentist where he is going to test them for a correct fit. Diets. Also the dentist will show the patient ways to use the trays together with the lightening gel. Perhaps you are prepared to get shot of your old silver fillings. Its about helping folk gain more self confidence by having a fabulous grin. There are a few various types of cosmetic dentistry to offer you that “winning smile”. If you have obvious fillings when you grin, porcelain crowns can eliminate that metallic look. Crowns are tooth coloured to match your current teeth. The dentist sometimes grinds down your teeth and adds a custom porcelain shell. The majority get the 6 to 10 teeth in their “smile zone” fixed. Bleaching is good choice if you do not need your teeth straightened or reshaped. The gel is a scientifically designed, pH balanced Hydrogen Peroxide that, when turned on by the Zoom. Light, carefully penetrates the teeth to get rid of deep stains and discoloration.
Who is suitable for tooth whitening?
Well that is simply a matter of preference truly, anyone that want to whiten their teeth by as much as 10 shades.
