While tooth bleaching is an effective method of whitening stained, discolored or dull teeth, it might not be the best choice for you. There is, in fact, a wide range of cosmetic procedures available to help improve your smile:
VENEERS, thin specially-made porcelain or resin laminates that adhere to the surface of the original tooth, can be used to correct gaps, or crooked, chipped, discolored or worn teeth.
CROWNS, porcelain or resin "caps" that fit over the original tooth, are an option for general bite dysfunction and broken or severely damaged teeth.
BRIDGES and DENTAL IMPLANTS are other options for missing, broken or non-restorable teeth.
GUM SCULPTING, or reshaping the gums, can make teeth look longer and the smile more symmetrical, or correct receding gum lines.
ORTHODONTICS are used to reposition, straighten, or close gaps between teeth. Options include "invisible" braces made from clear acrylic and "removable" braces for repositioning one or two teeth.
