Is your smile as bright as you would like it to be? If your teeth have taken on stains or a darker hue in recent years, cosmetic dental treatments could help return your original bright shade! Because our smiles are the center of attention when we are speaking, the discoloration can hurt our appearance. You may find that the sudden change in the color of your grin gives a rapidly age that you would rather reverse. Fortunately, professional whitening treatment can help lift problem stains from your enamel in as little as a single afternoon. We can also evaluate your smile to determine if the change in look is due to loss of the enamel itself. When this happens, we could design a set of porcelain veneers that recreates the look of bright teeth.
At your Katy, TX dental practice, we know how important the beauty of your smile can be to your self-image. It can be difficult to see imperfections appear seemingly overnight. This is why we offer multiple cosmetic procedures to address the root problems that can degrade the look of otherwise healthy teeth. By learning about all of your options for enhancing your grin, you can select a treatment that returns your confidence. You’ll be ready to show off your new look in no time!
How Discoloration Builds In Your Smile
When your teeth begin to lose their bright shade, it can be due to several factors. With aging comes an expected reduction in color, but in general, this process is rather gradual. If you have a sudden shift in the color of your teeth, you should speak to your dentist about causes other than your age. When staining is the issue, common drinks are often the culprit. If you find coffee, tea, wine, or soda leaves behind marks in the enamel, consider choosing alternative refreshments to preserve your smile’s color. If it has been a while since your last dental checkup, plaque and tartar can build a yellow sticky film on the surface of your smile that leaves an unwanted look. Make sure to brush and floss every single day to keep your teeth clear of debris!
Professional Teeth Whitening
To lift stains from the surface of your smile, we can perform a professional whitening session in a single trip to our practice. While over-the-counter treatments may seem convenient, our experience helps us dial in the specific level of care required to get your smile to the proper tone. Our experience guides us through protecting your lips and gums from the powerful whitening agent. To accelerate your bleaching process, we apply a special light that activates the gel.
Porcelain Veneers
If you have multiple imperfections in your smile or discoloration due to the loss of your enamel, porcelain veneers are a wonderful treatment option. By placing a veneer cap over the front of each tooth, we can cover cracks and uneven spacing, and return height to worn-down teeth. By shading your veneer to your desired color, we instantly return the shade you desire!
