Teeth Whitening and Veneers

Whitening and veneers are two advanced cosmetic dental treatments designed to enhance the appearance of your teeth. Teeth whitening involves the use of bleaching agents to remove surface stains and brighten your smile, while veneers are thin, custom-made shells that cover the front surface of teeth to conceal imperfections such as discoloration, cracks, and gaps.

Benefits of Whitening and Veneers

Opting for teeth whitening and veneers at Belmont Dental offers numerous benefits, including a more radiant and youthful smile, increased confidence, and improved overall oral aesthetics. These treatments can significantly enhance your appearance, making your teeth look healthier and more attractive. Additionally, veneers provide a long-lasting solution to dental imperfections, ensuring your smile remains beautiful for years to come.

Whitening & Veneers Q&A

What Causes Tooth Discoloration?

Tooth discoloration can result from various factors, including food stains, tobacco use, and beverages like coffee and soda. These external stains are often removable with professional whitening treatments. However, discoloration originating inside the tooth may require treatments such as veneers or internal bleaching.

Is Bleaching Safe?

Yes, tooth bleaching is safe when performed in a professional setting like Belmont Dental. We utilize the latest, most effective, and safest techniques, ensuring patients receive excellent care and achieve outstanding results.

What Happens During a Teeth Whitening Treatment?

During a teeth whitening treatment, your dentist applies a whitening gel directly to your teeth. The gel contains a high concentration of peroxide that breaks down stains, resulting in a whiter and brighter smile. Some dentists may use lasers or special lights alongside the gel to enhance the whitening effects.

What are Dental Veneers?

Dental veneers are thin shells designed to cover the front surface of teeth, ideal for situations where whitening is ineffective. Veneers can conceal stains, cracks, or other imperfections, making teeth appear straighter and more proportionate. They are typically made from porcelain and can be color-matched to your natural teeth.

How are Veneers Applied?

The veneer application process typically involves two visits. During the first visit, your dentist removes about half a millimeter of enamel from the tooth surface to ensure a proper fit. An impression of your teeth is then taken and sent to a lab to create your custom veneers, a process that usually takes 1-2 weeks. In the interim, you will receive a temporary veneer. On your next visit, the temporary veneer is replaced with the permanent one, completing your smile transformation.
