Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure aimed at lightening the color of teeth and removing stains or discoloration, enhancing the overall brightness of the smile. At-home whitening kits provided by dentists include custom-made trays and professional-grade gel, allowing for more gradual whitening. Over-the-counter products, such as whitening strips and toothpaste, offer more convenient but generally less potent options. Teeth whitening is effective for extrinsic stains caused by food, drink, and smoking, though it is less effective for intrinsic discoloration or teeth with restorations.

Veneers

Veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front surface of teeth, enhancing their appearance by improving color, shape, size, or alignment. They are typically made from porcelain or composite resin, offering a durable and natural-looking solution for cosmetic concerns such as discoloration, chips, gaps, or minor misalignments. The process involves removing a small amount of enamel from the tooth's surface, taking an impression, and then bonding the veneer to the tooth. Porcelain veneers are particularly valued for their stain resistance and close resemblance to natural teeth. Veneers can significantly improve the aesthetics of a smile, providing a long-lasting cosmetic enhancement with proper care.
