With minimally invasive treatments like professional whitening or cosmetic bonding, we can help improve the look of your teeth without needing invasive treatments. In our blog today, we’re here to talk about the benefits of our cosmetic services.
Why Professional Whitening Is Not Working
Patients often complain about stains and discoloration on their teeth. This can happen due to various factors, such as drinking coffee daily or consuming certain foods. Professional whitening treatments are popularly used to help remove the discoloration and achieve a brighter smile. A bleaching treatment may help remove the discoloration on the top of your enamel, but if the spots have appeared below the enamel due to factors like damage or fluoride overuse, they can be hard or impossible to remove. If this is the case, other services like bonding treatment can cover them instead. Your dentist can help examine the stains and determine which option is best for your needs. If they find that the discoloration occurs below the enamel, they may recommend alternative treatments like cosmetic bonding or partial crowns.
The Process Of Bonding
Tooth bonding is a minimally invasive treatment that can help cover imperfections like discoloration, stains, blemishes, and more. Many times, a single appointment suffices to complete the treatment, which can endure for many years. After your consultation, your dentist will apply the composite resin to the areas you want to cover. Composite resin is a lifelike material that can blend in with the natural shade and appearance of the rest of your smile. Once it is bonded in place, it can last for many years and can easily be repaired if needed. You can continue eating and drinking your favorite things without the anxiety of damaging the cosmetic upgrade.
Partial Crowns For Damaged Teeth
Cosmetic bonding can help improve the appearance of many blemishes. However, if you have suffered damage to one of your teeth, you may need stronger restorative treatment to help repair the area and improve the appearance. When this happens, your dentist may recommend partial crowns, also known as inlays and onlays, to restore the area. The partial crown can cover the damaged area to create a layer of added protection and improve the appearance of your smile.
