Tooth Whitening May Not Be The Best Option

Tooth whitening may be all you need to give you the smile that you deserve. Tooth whitening really is the most popular cosmetic dental procedure in the world, however, sometimes people go overboard, especially with over the counter whitening products.

According to your Corona Dentist those gels, pastes, strips, and mouth rinses that you purchase from your local pharmacy are not as strong as the prescription whitening products from your dentist. Most whitening agents contain hydrogen peroxide, but the over the counter whiteners don’t have as a high a percentage.

Dental Care of Corona offers both in office tooth whitening and custom made tooth-whitening systems that you take home. Both will give you the confidence you need to flash your pearly whites again. However, tooth whitening doesn’t work for everyone.

If you have interior or intrinsic stains, old restorations, chips, cracks or other issues, your Corona Dentist may recommend other cosmetic dentistry procedures such as cosmetic dental bonding or porcelain veneers.

Cosmetic Dental Bonding

This quick and easy treatment can repair chips and cracks, make your teeth longer or shorter, or fill in the small gap between your teeth. Done in a single office visit, dental bonding is not as strong as porcelain veneers, but may be a good option, especially if you do not want any permanent changes.

Porcelain Veneers

Cosmetic porcelain veneers are custom made to fit your teeth. They are permanent because a small portion of your natural tooth needs to be removed to make way for the porcelain veneer. During the manufacture of your permanent veneers, your dentist will fit you with temporary veneers if your natural teeth are unsightly.
