A radiant smile can dramatically impact one’s appearance and confidence. Many people are looking for ways to brighten their teeth and restore that sparkling, beautiful smile.
Teeth whitening Morgantown KY is a bleaching process that lightens the color of enamel and dentin. It removes stains that develop from foods and beverages, poor oral hygiene habits, and smoking.
At-Home Whitening
Whitening is an effective, safe and inexpensive way to brighten your smile. At home, you can use whitening toothpastes and gel strips to remove surface stains. Our take-home whitening kits use custom-fitted trays to hold the whitening solution over your teeth. They are worn for a few hours each day over the course of a few weeks, to achieve desired results.
Over-the-counter whitening products typically use bleaching chemicals to lighten and remove tooth stains. These include whitening strips, gels and pens. While these products do work, they don’t offer the same results as professional treatments, and they may contain ingredients that damage teeth and gums. The most important thing to keep in mind is that not all stains are treated the same. More severe or complex stains will require a different treatment. Our AACD-accredited cosmetic dentist can recommend the best treatment for you.
In-Office Whitening
In-office bleaching is a cosmetic procedure that can remove many types of stains from teeth. It is typically done during a regular office visit and takes less than an hour. The dentist applies a whitening gel to the tooth enamel and activates it with a curing light, which speeds up and enhances the effect.
This procedure can be used alone or in combination with other cosmetic treatments, such as veneers. We are able to customize your treatment plan to your specific needs.
Teeth whitening Morgantown KY is one of the most popular cosmetic dentistry procedures available. It is a safe and effective way to remove discoloration from the teeth caused by coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco, medications like tetracycline and more. The result is a smile that is brighter and whiter. It can help reclaim your confidence and boost your self-esteem. Unlike over-the-counter whitening strips, this treatment is administered by a professional, ensuring that your teeth will be evenly white.
Veneers
Veneers are thin coverings that fit over a smile to create a whiter, more symmetrical appearance. They are a popular treatment for patients with crooked teeth, discolored teeth, and even chips or gaps. Your dentist will evaluate your dental health during a consultation to ensure you are healthy enough for veneers. Patients with gum disease or cavities may require alternative treatments before veneers can be placed. People with a habit of grinding or clenching their teeth, a condition known as bruxism, may also not be candidates for veneers.
Unlike other cosmetic treatments, veneers do not involve the removal of enamel. Depending on the material, they can last from 5 to 20 years. Taking good care of your veneers, including regular brushing and flossing and scheduling your routine dental appointments, can keep them looking their best. They can also prevent the need for more extensive cosmetic treatment, like dental implants or crowns. Aside from aesthetics, veneers can also help fix minor bite misalignments and improve the function of your teeth.
Crowns
A bright smile is a powerful tool that can boost your confidence and make a great impression on others. However, dark stains can be difficult to eliminate with teeth bleaching alone. In these cases, you may require a cosmetic dentistry procedure like veneers to cover the staining.
Dental crowns can also be used to replace a tooth that has been damaged or decayed. They can be made of porcelain or a metal alloy that’s designed to match the shade and size of your natural teeth. Porcelain crowns are very popular because they look so natural that no one will be able to tell that you have a dental cap.
To get started with your whitening treatment, we will scan your teeth with our iTero scanner. This technology eliminates the need for the messy goop traditionally used to take an impression of your mouth, making the process more comfortable and convenient. Then, we’ll create a customized treatment plan based on your unique goals and preferences.
