With chairside professional teeth whitening treatments, Beachside Smiles can help you get your teeth up to 12 shades whiter in just one session.
If you’re like many of our patients, you’ve likely had limited success with over-the-counter tooth whitening strips. The thing is, these are largely only effective on surface stains, which are typically removed with regular checkups and cleanings anyway.
Chips, stains, misshapen teeth, and noticeable craze lines can all negatively affect the appearance of your smile. Fortunately, these cosmetic conditions can be successfully treated with porcelain veneers.
Veneers are ultra-thin shells of medical-grade ceramic porcelain that are cemented to the outward-facing sides of the teeth in order to correct cosmetic flaws. Patients love veneers because they can provide a dramatic smile transformation in just a few visits.
Before considering porcelain veneers, it’s important to remember that this procedure permanently alters the enamel of the teeth and may require a replacement after roughly 15 years or sooner.
In addition to porcelain veneers, we also offer E-max veneers and dental bonding.
Chipped a tooth and need a quick fix? If porcelain veneers are outside your budget, dental bonding is another option. With dental bonding, a composite resin material is layered onto the tooth to achieve the desired result. Most bonding procedures can be completed within an hour.
Since dental bonding does not have the longevity of porcelain veneers, many patients settle for bonding while they save up to $150 per tooth, which is a fraction of what you would expect to pay for a porcelain veneer.
The downside of bonding is that it doesn’t have the same opalescent luster of porcelain veneers, but many patients report they can hardly tell the difference.
While dental crowns are typically used to restore the structural strength of tooth enamel, they are also useful in correcting cosmetic imperfections. If you are unhappy with a tooth that is misshapen or irreversibly stained, a porcelain, zirconia, or E-max crown might be the right treatment option for you.
