Certain dental situations require one obvious fix. Other issues might have multiple possible solutions that you can talk over with your dentist. If you have severe discolorations, you may be wondering whether whitening will be enough for you, or if you might want to opt for veneers on your most visible teeth. Having many cosmetic dental options is a blessing in this day and age. Your Skokie dentist, Dr. Brent Engelberg, is happy to help you figure out the best plan of action to achieve the smile of your dreams.
Teeth Whitening
The great thing about whitening your teeth is that it is a non-invasive and reasonably fast way to take years off of your appearance. A white smile gives you a youthful, vibrant look. Whitened teeth will increase your confidence and can even lead to more success in work and relationships. We can offer you two options: whitening in the office that is done by your Skokie dentist with bleaching gel and a laser light. You can also be fitted for an at-home whitening kit where you will use trays on a daily basis for two weeks or so to achieve dramatic brightening. Suppose you’ve tried this and haven’t had the desired results, however?
Porcelain Veneers
While more of a commitment than whitening, porcelain veneer procedures can be completed in as little as two appointments with Dr. Engelberg. Your cosmetic goals will be determined at your consultation. Color, shape, and any concerns you have will be addressed in advance. Your customized veneers will be fabricated by a highly skilled ceramist. When you come in for your next appointment, your teeth will be lightly shaved so that your new veneers will adhere strongly to teeth. When the bonding is complete, the veneers can be shaped for a flawless look. Beyond discolorations, veneers will cover over any flaws such as slight fractures, chips, gaps, or overlaps.
