Once any restorative dental treatment has been carried out and your teeth have been cleaned you are ready to find out how you can improve the appearance of your smile.

Teeth whitening

Teeth staining is a common issue faced by a significant percentage of the population to a certain extent. Despite good oral hygiene techniques, stains can build up on the surface of your teeth. By visiting the dentist on a regular basis, stains can be removed when undergoing a scale and polish. More stubborn stains require teeth whitening procedures which can be prescribed by your dentist. Teeth whitening kits are available to help you whiten your teeth in the comfort of your own home or you can book an appointment to have a teeth whitening session at the dental practice. This will depend on your dental requirements and your personal preferences. Teeth whitening procedures prescribed by a dentist will help improve the appearance of your smile. 

Veneers

If you have tooth staining or discolouration which cannot be removed by teeth whitening procedures then you need to speak to your dentist and find out about other treatment options which are available for you. Intrinsic stains which affect the dentine of your teeth or stubborn extrinsic stains can be disguised completely using porcelain veneers. Veneers not only address the colour of your teeth, but help transform your smile completely. They can alter the size and shape of your teeth to help achieve a neat and uniform smile. Porcelain veneers are individually tailored thin ceramic shells which are attached directly to your teeth to change the appearance of your teeth completely. Speak to your dentist today to find out more about cosmetic dental treatments and how you can improve the appearance of your smile according to your dental needs.

Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
