Teeth Whitening
If you suffer from mild or severe tooth discoloration, teeth whitening may be a good option for you. We currently offer two methods of teeth whitening, in-office professional bleaching and at-home whitening treatments. At-home whitening treatments are more affordable and can be completed on your own time. This option is flexible and convenient for many patients, but this option is best for patients looking for a mild update. Whitening kits can lift discoloration by about four shades, so it is not the best option for people with severe tooth discoloration. In-office professional teeth bleaching is better for patients looking for a more significant smile update. Professional whitening treatments can lift discoloration by about 10 shades in as little as 30 minutes to one hour. If your tooth discoloration is grey, lavender, or dark brown, teeth whitening would not be the right choice. Schedule a consultation with our team so that we can find the right option for your smile.
Dental Bonding
Bonding may be the right choice for smiles with scratches, minor surface cracks, slight gaps, or even dark tooth discoloration. Tooth-colored resin is hardened onto the surface of the tooth using an ultraviolet light. This process is much faster and more affordable than dental veneers or crowns, so many patients choose dental bonding for cosmetic purposes. Bonding can also be used to repair minor damages to a tooth in order to prevent it from being damaged further. If you have a minor chip or crack, bonding can seal the area to prevent a tooth fracture. Dental bonding also does not require the removal of the tooth's surface, so you are able to keep your tooth fully intact. Talk to our Renton dentist to find out if dental bonding would be right for your smile.
Porcelain Veneers
If you are searching for a more permanent update to your smile, dental veneers may be the right option for you. Veneers allow you to customize the color, shape, and length of your smile. Many patients love veneers because you are able to completely transform your smile. Whether you suffer from extreme tooth discoloration, have unwanted gaps, or even if you are insecure about the size of your teeth, veneers can give you the smile of your dreams. Porcelain is also stain-resistant and extremely durable, so you will likely never need to have them repaired or replaced. If you are dreaming of getting a "celebrity smile" veneers may be the right option for you. Because veneers are a permanent enhancement to your smile, they involve a lot of preparation and consideration before the treatment can be completed.
