What is Teeth Whitening?

 

Teeth whitening is a procedure that removes stains and discoloration from teeth. Discoloration can be the result of a combination of things:

  • genetics

  • poor oral hygiene

  • accidents

  • medication

  • the effects of aging

  • smoking

  • certain foods

 

Whitening techniques will only work for staining caused by some medication if the discoloration is very mild. Teeth that are discolored because of medication or excessive fluoride are not good candidates for the whitening procedure. Veneers are the best solution for more severe discoloration cases. Once you reach our office, Dr. Huang will let you know the best solution for you.

Take Home Teeth Whitening

 

Under the supervision of Dr. Huang, our whitening treatments are completely safe and will not harm teeth or gums. Using our custom made trays and tubes of solution, our whitening system lasts a long time.

  • First an impression of your teeth will be taken. It will be used as a mold to make custom whitening trays that look like a mouth guard.

  • When the whitening trays are ready you will have another appointment to test if the trays fit your teeth properly.

  • Instructions will be provided on how to use the trays in conjuntion with the whitening gel.

  • The whitening gel is placed into the custom trays at home and worn for a certain amount of time each day (ususally twice a day for 30 minutes to 2 hours for a 2 to 4 week period).

  • The custom-made trays minimize the bleaching gel's contact with the gum tissue.

 

The advantage of using dentist-supervised bleaching is that teeth can be properly assessed to have the correct chemical concentration, correct method and length of treatment.  Dr. Huang will first make sure the patient is even suitable to have their teeth whitened.

COMPOSITE BONDING

 

Bonding is a common solution for:

 

  • Fixing or repairing chipped or cracked teeth

  • Reducing unsightly gaps or spaces between teeth

  • Hiding discoloration or faded areas on the tooth’s surface

 

Often, composite boding is used to improve the appearance of your teeth and enhance your smile. As the name indicates, composite material, either a plastic or resin, is bonded to an existing tooth. Unlike veneers or crowns, composite bonding removes little, if any, of the original tooth.

 

Composite bonding has many advantages:

 

  • It is a quick process, which typically lasts less than one hour.

  • It does not reduce the tooth’s original structure and is relatively inexpensive.

  • Composite resins come in many different shades in order to provide better matching of shades to the natural color of your teeth.

  • Composite bonds, however, are not as durable and long-lasting as veneers and crowns and may need to be re-touched or replaced in the future.

 

Composite bonds stain more easily and therefore require proper care and regular cleaning. In order to ensure the longest possible duration of the bonding, composites should be brushed and flossed daily. Common staining elements include coffee, tea, tobacco, foods and candy.

                                                                                                                                                                                                Back to Top

 

VENEERS

 

Veneers are thin, semi-translucent “shells” typically attached to your front teeth. Veneers are customized from porcelain or composite material that is bonded to your teeth. Veneers are great alternative to improve the appearance of your smile.

 

Common problems that veneers are used for:

 

  • Spaces between the teeth

  • Broken or chipped teeth

  • Unsightly, stained or discolored teeth

  • Permanently stained or discolored teeth

  • Crooked or misshapen teeth

 

Veneers are a great aesthetic solution to your smile that may even help you avoid orthodontic treatment. Subtle changes to your smile can be achieved with veneers, and in most cases, veneer application is completed in only two office visits.

DENTURES

 

Periodontal disease, injury and tooth decay can all cause a loss of your natural teeth. However, we can bring back the smile on your face by replacing your missing teeth with dentures. Please note that dentures can now be stabilized with an implant procedyre bring more confort and better chewing abilities to the denture wearer. It may take some time to adjust to your new dentures. Speaking and eating may feel different at first, but these regular activities will resume normally once you become accustomed to the dentures.

 

There are two types of dentures: complete and partial.

 

  • Complete dentures cover the patient’s entire jaw.

  • Partial dentures, with or without metal framework, replace multiple missing teeth.

 

To know which type is best for you, be sure to call us today to schedule an appointment.                                             Back to Top
