Quiz Answers
- False. If you want us to help you remove stains or cover them up (the end goal, of course, is to enjoy a beautiful white smile), then you have multiple options. Whitening is often the best choice. However, in instances in which whitening is ineffective, you might also benefit from bonding or from cosmetic veneers.
- False. We can only use teeth whitening on natural teeth. If you are hoping to make both your natural and artificial tissue appear brighter (perhaps you have a crown), then we will need to explore other options, such as whitening natural teeth and replacing restorations to match.
- False. To begin, we will check your oral health to ensure you do not first require any restorative treatments to repair a problem like decay. However, occasional sensitivity is not a reason we cannot offer whitening. Fortunately, we provide a formula that will safeguard your teeth from damage or discomfort, not cause it.
