Brightening Discolored Teeth With Cosmetic Dentistry
Over time, teeth can lose their brightness and become discolored due to various factors such as diet, specific medications, and the natural aging process. Consuming coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco products often leads to staining. Dr. Chin employs professional teeth whitening techniques that penetrate the enamel to break down stains. These in-office treatments are far more effective than over-the-counter products. They can significantly lighten the color of the teeth in a much shorter timeframe.
So, what about those stains that professional teeth whitening can’t quite erase? Dental veneers serve as a viable solution by shielding discoloration. Crafted from porcelain or composite materials, these slim, custom-fitted shells adhere to the front of the teeth.
Repairing Chips and Cracks
Chips and cracks in teeth can occur at any time. Accidents happen, and let’s face it, teeth aren’t indestructible. A sudden bump, an ambitious bite into a hard snack, or the occasional misstep can lead to chips or cracks. It’s a part of life. Beyond brightening smiles, veneers are a resilient fix for various dental concerns. They mend chips and breaks, delivering an all-encompassing makeover for your smile.
Dental bonding is the ultimate quick-fix tool in cosmetic dentistry, perfect for addressing those sudden chips and cracks that suddenly tarnish your smile. With this treatment, Dr. Chin applies and sculpts a tooth-colored composite resin to your teeth, filling in chips and cracks. This method aids in restoring your teeth’s appearance and functionality without straining your wallet.
Transforming Shape and Alignment
If you want straighter teeth, we can help! With clear aligners like Invisalign®, Dr. Chin offers a sleeker path to straight teeth. This treatment provides the same results as traditional braces but without the visual impact or the discomfort. Invisalign employs a series of custom-made, clear aligners that gently shift teeth into position over time.
It’s no secret why these aligners are so popular. They can be removed for eating, brushing, and flossing, effortlessly integrating into your daily life. This method particularly appeals to adults and teens seeking a more discreet way to improve their smile.
