Teeth Whitening Options

Treatment options can vary depending on the cause of the discoloration and may include:

Using proper tooth brushing and flossing techniques

Avoidance of the foods and beverages that cause discoloration

Bondings
o A procedure in which a tooth-colored resin material (a durable plastic material) is applied and hardened with a special light, which ultimately "bonds" the material to the tooth to restore or improve an individual's smile.

Veneers
o Wafer-thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front surface of teeth.
o These shells are bonded to the front of the teeth changing their color, shape, size or length and resulting in an improved appearance.

Using whitening agents
o Whitening toothpastes
o Whitening strips
o Whitening gels and tray systems
o Dental office bleaching
