Cosmetic
and Tooth WhiteningThe
philosophy and practical application resulting in restoring and creating
the most beautiful and healthy smile is also easily realized by viewing
our mission and objective or before and after photos.
An example of this relationship between practicality and beauty is presented
in the realization with our objective of “conservation of tooth structure.”
When we can conserve more tooth structure, we’ll be able to more
easily produce a more natural-looking result. Likewise, porcelain like
materials, which have properties more similar to tooth structure, look
more natural. Certain types of cosmetic restoration material can also
most strongly bond teeth together, many times preventing the need for
a crown later.
In
our office, we begin the diagnostic steps of your care by pursuing a functional
result, a healthy smile which can chew for a lifetime. From this point,
we can follow your lead and have time to meet your cosmetic wishes.
Example
of practicality regarding tooth whitening:
Let’s
say you need an all-porcelain crown for a broken front tooth, you may
wish to whiten you teeth to their naturally whitest shade first. If you
decide not to whiten your teeth first, your porcelain crown will not darken
with time, but your teeth will, resulting in your teeth and crown being
different colors in the future. If you whiten your teeth first to your
‘most natural whiteness’ and have the lab fabricate your crown
to match, then you can easily re-whiten your teeth in the future to keep
that most natural and white smile.
Which
whitening delivery method works most predictably?
It
seems like you can find the words “whitening” on almost any
product. In order to make this claim, all that is necessary is to include
an amount of material the FDA has approved as a whitening agent, not necessarily
in an effective dose, concentration, or delivery method.
Our
office team can provide the service of effectively whitening your teeth
by utilizing the type of material and way to get you the most predictable
result.
This
can be accomplished in two ways: in-office whitening or your take-home
custom tray system.
Feel
free to call our Mount Horeb office with further questions about tooth whitening techniques, or to set up a 10 minute no-charge consultation to discuss our teeth whitening methods. You can speak with Tena or Heather at 608-437-5564.
