Sciota, Pennsylvania
We hate to say it, but first impressions—and appearances—do matter. Many people do not show their teeth when they smile because they think their smiles are unattractive. Now for the good news… getting the great-looking smile you always wanted is more attainable than ever through cosmetic dentistry, especially when performed by a highly-trained dentist like the ones on staff at Chestnuthill Dental. A teeth whitening treatment represents the most popular procedures in all of cosmetic dentistry, but you can also brighten your smile permanently by receiving veneers. Read on to learn more about this topic, today on the blog.
A whitening treatment is limited by the shade of your natural tooth enamel
There are various methods you can use to whiten your teeth. You can purchase a toothpaste or an oral rinse that promises whiter teeth. There also are whitening kits available for purchase. All that said, a professional whitening treatment will last longer than any over-the-counter method and without causing enhanced sensitivity in teeth. However, even a professional whitening procedure will be limited by the shade of your natural tooth enamel. If you want your smile to be brighter than your natural enamel, then even the most powerful professional whitening treatment will not help you achieve your aesthetic goals. Furthermore, any whitening procedure remains effective for only so long, although you can prolong the lifespan of a whitening treatment by following a good regimen of care.
How can veneers whiten your smile?
When placed over all the visible tooth surfaces in your mouth, veneers permanently brighten your smile. You also are not limited by the shade of your natural enamel; veneers can be tailored to any desired level of brightness. And, because veneers are bonded directly to your teeth, the results last for years – a decade or longer with proper oral hygiene.
Veneers can do much more than just brightening your smile
Veneers can whiten teeth while also resolving the appearance of chips, cracks, small fractures, unevenly sized teeth, uneven wear, or concealing an unwanted gap between two teeth. Veneers also look natural. Made with dental porcelain, the veneers at Chestnuthill Dental have a similar translucency to natural tooth enamel while resisting surface stains.
It is important to remember that no cosmetic treatment is permanent. Limit your consumption of foods and beverages that can stain teeth such as coffee, red wine, and dark-colored fruits. Also, if you use tobacco in any form, please consider stopping both to maintain your smile and improve your overall health.
