The Magic of Dental Veneers

Dental veneers are crafted as thin, wafer-like shells designed to boost the front surface of your teeth. They are most commonly crafted from porcelain or resin composite materials. Veneers are an excellent solution for a variety of dental issues, including:

• Discolored Teeth: Teeth that are severely stained or discolored and do not respond well to whitening treatments can benefit from veneers. The material used for veneers is stain-resistant and can provide a natural, bright appearance.
• Worn Down Teeth: Veneers can protect teeth that have been worn down by providing a durable, protective covering.
• Chipped or Broken Teeth: Veneers can cover up chips and cracks, giving your teeth a smooth, consistent and perfect appearance
• Misaligned or Irregularly Shaped Teeth: Veneers can create an even, symmetrical smile by addressing minor misalignments or irregular shapes.

By addressing these issues, dental veneers not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of your smile but also contribute to better oral health by protecting damaged teeth.

Dental Bonding

Dental bonding involves applying a tooth-colored resin material to the teeth. This material is then hardened with a special light, bonding it to the tooth. Dental bonding can effectively restore the appearance of your smile by:

• Repairing Decayed Teeth: The composite resin used in bonding can fill cavities and restore decayed teeth to their natural appearance.
• Fixing Chipped or Cracked Teeth: Bonding can repair minor chips and cracks, providing a seamless look.
• Improving the Shape of Teeth: Bonding can be used to alter the shape of teeth, making them look longer or closing unsightly gaps between teeth.
• Covering Discoloration: For teeth that are discolored, bonding can cover up the stains, providing a brighter smile.

Dental bonding is a cost-effective and minimally invasive treatment that can make significant improvements to the appearance of your teeth, boosting your confidence and overall oral health.

Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic dentistry treatments. It involves bleaching your teeth to make them look lighter. This treatment can:

• Remove Stains: Teeth can become stained from various foods, drinks and habits like smoking. Professional teeth whitening can effectively remove these stains and restore the natural color of your teeth.
• Enhance Your Smile: A whiter smile can significantly improve your overall appearance, making you look younger and more vibrant.
• Boost Confidence: Having a brighter, whiter smile can increase your confidence and make you feel more comfortable in social and professional settings.

Professional teeth whitening treatments are safe and can produce dramatic results quickly, helping you achieve a dazzling smile to wow the world around you.

Conclusion

Cosmetic dentistry treatments like dental veneers, dental bonding and teeth whitening offer numerous benefits beyond just improving the appearance of your smile. They can restore the functionality and health of your teeth, boost your confidence and enhance your overall quality of life.

1-Dental Veneers
These custom-crafted wafer thin porcelain or resin shells are bonded onto the front of your teeth. Veneers can beautify a single tooth or your whole mouth! They are ideal for sealing gaps or spaces between teeth, brightening stained or discolored teeth and straightening uneven looking teeth. They can even fix slightly twisted, curved teeth and restore a tooth that has sustained minor damage. We make your veneers in our onsite dental lab with our master technicians for the highest quality and a long-lasting smile.

2-Dental Bonding
If you are having a tooth bonded, we will place a composite resin material right onto the tooth. Our prosthodontist will expertly shape and sculpt the bonded area to fit your tooth and fix any flaws in how it looks. After the resin has hardened we can trim and polish it to perfection, leaving your smile with a long lasting beautiful restoration. This treatment effectively closes tooth gaps and spaces between teeth, corrects a tooth’s shape and color and restores teeth that are chipped or cracked. Not only will your teeth blend in naturally with the rest of your teeth with dental bonding, but we can often perform this treatment in just one comfortable visit to our office.

3-Teeth Whitening
If you have been wanting your teeth to look whiter and brighter our professional teeth whitening treatment might be your best bet! We can effectively lighten stained and discolored teeth that have darkened due to normal aging, lax dental hygiene care, drinking staining drinks (coffee, tea, wine and soda) and foods (berries, tomato-based sauces, soy sauce and curry). Your teeth can also stain dramatically if you use tobacco in any form, and from some medications and illnesses.

But you do want to know what you are doing when whitening your teeth, making sure the product is safe and effective. If your pearly whites look yellow or deeply stained, that may happen for various reasons.

Causes of Tooth Discoloration

-Poor or inconsistent daily oral hygiene care
-Skipping professional dental cleanings
-Constant teeth grinding
-Regularly consuming staining foods and drinks like coffee, tea, wine or soda
-Naturally getting older.
-Using tobacco in any form
-Medical treatments like head and neck radiation or chemotherapy
-Certain medications
-Too much fluoride
-Dental trauma from sports

There are typically two teeth whitening options, extrinsic whitening and intrinsic whitening.

Extrinsic whitening: This teeth whitening option involves utilizing a mild abrasive to get stains off of the outside surfaces of your teeth. The tooth color under the stains emerges but unfortunately also doesn’t actually change the tooth’s color either. So it basically brightens your teeth which can make them look fresher.

Intrinsic whitening: This teeth whitening option actually uses a tooth bleaching agent so it can change the color of your tooth enamel, so it not only brightens your teeth but whitens them!

–Using a straw: Sipping staining drinks from a straw can effectively limit their ability to discolor your teeth. This goes equally for fruit juices, soda, lattes, or tea. Drinking through a straw will help keep the staining agents from discoloring the visible areas of your smile while also preventing tooth sensitivity.

–Brush, floss and use mouthwash: By removing food debris after eating or drinking staining foods helps limit their ability to discolor enamel. This simple action removes lingering staining agents and rinsing with an antibacterial mouthwash helps prevent plaque from forming. Plaque is a sticky substance that allows staining agents a foothold to adhere to.

–Say no to tobacco: Unfortunately, tobacco stains are notorious whether you chew or smoke it. In fact, tobacco is the one tooth staining habit we strongly encourage giving up as it affects your oral health as well as your overall health. Fortunately, there are tobacco cessation programs available to help you take the leap. Speak to your doctor for more information.

–Professional dental cleanings: Professional dental cleanings are vital to a healthy smile. These cleanings let us remove hardened plaque which otherwise provides a surface which stains can adhere to.

As you can see, if you regularly enjoy teeth staining foods such as blueberry for dessert or beets for your health, you don’t have to stop eating them just to keep your pearly whites bright.

Our Denver Restorative Dentistry team is here to help you keep your smile bright. We offer teeth whitening treatments for our patients in Broomfield, Colorado seeking help with their tooth stains. If you are interested in a tooth whitening treatment, please call 303-586-1019 today!
