Tooth Whitening and Veneers
You brush your teeth to maintain your oral health, fighting plaque and bad breath. But you also brush your teeth to maintain their pearly white appearance. Perhaps this is your primary goal in daily brushing. Nearly everyone would agree that white teeth make an attractive smile, and they would probably tell you they’d like their teeth even whiter.
Baystate Dental PC in Springfield offers multiple treatment options to get your teeth white, and keep them white for a long time – provided you care for them.
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening, or tooth whitening, is possible using over-the-counter products you can find in any grocery store. However, the results are often uneven, take a very long time to produce, and may create gum or tooth sensitivity. Professional tooth whitening performed in the dentist’s office using a professional strength whitening gel offers advantages over teeth whitening products bought at the store.
Benefits include:
- Custom care for your uniquely shaped mouth
- Long lasting results
- Whitening is even and can be controlled to the shade you desire
- Safe for your enamel, gums, dental work, and is completely comfortable
- Results are immediate
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are also an excellent choice for whitening your teeth. They also provide cover for minor defects, such as cracks and chipping, gaps, and more. The difference between using veneers for whitening your teeth versus using a gel is that veneers go over your teeth that are seen when you smile, as opposed to every single tooth.
Removing a tiny portion of enamel to bond the veneer and then placing the veneers can be done in one appointment, thanks to our CEREC machine.
