You can look younger, more confident, and more attractive by having whiter teeth. For over 3,000 years, people have wanted whiter teeth. Today, you can find hundreds of products made to whiten teeth both online and in stores along with procedures that your cosmetic dentist can perform such as:
- Professional tray whitening
- Light-activated whitening
- Chair-side teeth whitening
Whether you purchase these products or visit your dentist, they all have one thing in common; they are temporary. Eventually, you will need to re-whiten your teeth due to any of these reasons:
- Foods you consume
- Natural effects of aging
- Genetics
- Dental conditions
At Dr. Patty’s Dental Boutique & Spa in Fort Lauderdale, FL. we can help you choose the option that is best for your situation so that you can have an incredible smile day after day.
Teeth Bleaching
This is the least invasive method that you can use to maintain a whiter smile along with proper dental hygiene. While this option is highly recommended, it may not be effective in all cases. For example, if you suffer from tetracycline stains or similar dental conditions, you may need a more invasive cosmetic dentistry procedure. Also, you may want to invest in another option if you want whiter teeth than what can be achieved through teeth bleaching.
While cosmetic dentistry can focus greatly on professional teeth whitening, there are other options that you will have if you are interested in achieving a permanently white smile such as a smile makeover, veneers, or other restorations.
Permanent Whitening Techniques and Procedures
If you have decided that you want to whiten your teeth permanently, the cosmetic dentists at Dr. Patty’s Dental Boutique can help. If you would like a more pleasing appearance, we can offer a variety of techniques and procedures for existing dental or oral structures that can:
- Augment
- Reduce
- Reshape
We can create a permanent, radiantly white smile that you will want to show off in your Instagram selfies all day long.
When you schedule your complimentary consultation, we can discuss what you would like to improve with your smile, what you would like to have done, what can be done, and which dental procedures will be needed to achieve your goal. We may use the following techniques:
- Additions
- Reductions
- Whole smile makeover
Along with these options, you will still be able to take a cosmetic approach by neither adding nor removing dental materials, tooth structure, or gums within your mouth. This option includes chair-side teeth whitening with lights, lasers or without. Again, we will help you choose the option that is best suited for your goals and current dental conditions.
Additions
An addition is a basic dental modification that can create a permanently white smile. This technique will either apply or add dental material to your gums or teeth to change their appearance. Additions can include:
- Porcelain veneers or laminates
- Bonding or shaping
- Crowns
- Caps
- Bridges
- Gum grafts
One of these techniques can be used to whiten your teeth and will not affect your actual teeth.
Reduction
This technique may involve removing any of your teeth or gum tissue, or removing other parts of the tooth structure. This procedure can include:
- Enameloplasty
- Gingivectomy
Although these procedures will affect your actual tooth, when completed, they will reveal glisteningly whiter teeth.
Whole Smile Makeover
This option will include various combinations of the procedures listed above. A smile makeover may or may not affect your actual teeth and will depend on which techniques are used to create a permanently white smile. We also use the KoR Deep Bleaching System which you can learn more about by clicking here.
