Teeth Whitening
The lifestyle that many Americans live is not friendly to the color of your teeth. Coffee, tea, soda, cigarettes, and other products diminish the white smile that we all crave. At Matthews Smiles Dental, we offer a couple of options for you to reclaim those white teeth and make your smile bright and dazzling. Talk with your dentist today and find out which of those options will meet your needs the best.
Whitened Teeth Can Improve Your First Impression
In business and social situations, a bright smile can help you make a positive first impression. You might be on a first date, an important sales presentation, or a boardroom presentation. If your stained teeth make you hesitant to smile, others will sense your lack of self-confidence and so will you. A brightened smile can restore your confidence and cause you to interact with boldness. Professional teeth whitening in Provo, UT is a great first step in improving the beauty of your smile through cosmetic dentistry.
Veneers
Veneers are a popular and effective option for treating multiple dental problems at once. These thin, porcelain shells look like natural teeth and are used to cover and correct cosmetic flaws, like stains, chips, gaps, and unevenly shaped teeth.
How Long Do Veneers Last?
Porcelain veneers are not a permanent solution due to the wafer-thin nature of the shells. Though a good veneer can last for about a decade, they are not the perfect solution for every tooth, but they are a fantastic solution to provide a cosmetic solution which will make your smile stunning and white.
What Are Veneers?
Veneers are wafer thin dental porcelain which is placed over a tooth. Veneers are perfect for a wide range of issues ranging from covering deeply discolored teeth, chipped teeth, worn teeth, and misshapen teeth.
Perhaps one of the strongest advantages of veneers is the extra protection they provide your teeth without doing any additional damage to the natural tooth. The thin porcelain veneer will protect your natural tooth from further decay and damage. A fragile tooth can break down even further over time but with the assistance of a veneer, your tooth is given additional strength with porcelain lamination.
Veneer Types Offered At Matthews Smiles Dental
If you are unhappy with the appearance of your teeth, consult with one of our dentists to find out if veneers are a good option for you. Here at Matthews Smiles Dental in Provo, UT, we offer two types of veneers, including:
- Traditional veneers. This is the most durable type and requires us to remove a small amount of your tooth’s enamel in order to help the veneer adhere to your teeth.
- No-prep veneers. With this type, you get to retain all of your enamel, but the veneers are sheer and don’t last as long.
If you have severely stained, misaligned, or damaged teeth, traditional veneers are likely the better option for you. But if your teeth have only minor flaws, no-prep veneers may work for you and have the advantage of being reversible.
