Professional teeth whitening is a popular treatment that dental patients request. This service can help remove stains from your pearly whites and give you a boost of confidence. Occasionally, though, you may have discoloration below your enamel that cannot be removed with a bleaching treatment. Instead, your team at Dental Impressions in Ankeny, IA, may be able to conceal these blemishes with the help of cosmetic bonding.

Cosmetic bonding can help patients with a variety of problems. If your teeth did not respond to a professional whitening treatment, this option could help hide stains that show on your pearly whites. It could also be used to help cover minor chips and cracks instead of using a complete dental cap. Adding composite resin to areas that are uneven or misshapen can help give your smile a more uniform and appealing look. This may also be a good medium solution between whitening and veneers. You will not need the invasive preparation required for veneers, and you can still disguise many imperfections throughout your smile.
Refresh Your Look In One Appointment
When you come in for your appointment, you will have a consultation with your dentist where they will examine your oral cavity and approve you for the cosmetic treatment. Since this is a minimally invasive option, many people are able to be approved for this option. You can discuss what areas you would like to correct and what your smile goals are. The composite resin will be matched to the shade of your tooth so that it blends in seamlessly. This will be carefully bonded over blemishes, small chips, and misshapen structures, to create a more even appearance. Your dentist and team will send you home with aftercare instructions to ensure your results last for several years. You may need to avoid eating for a few hours immediately after this treatment. After this, you can proceed with your normal day and continue your oral hygiene routine as usual.
Veneers Could Boost Your Appearance
Porcelain veneers are another popular cosmetic enhancements that can help improve your smile. This process involves adding porcelain shells over the front of your natural tooth. Veneers require more preparation than cosmetic bonding and can be a more invasive process. However, the benefit of this option is that you can customize your new smile, and the shells can last upwards of ten years with proper care. To get approved for veneers, you must have good oral health with no untreated cavities or signs of periodontal disease.
