Exploring Your Professional Teeth Whitening Options

Posted on by Wager-Evans Dental

A stunning, white smile can be a prominent, and particularly attractive, part of your appearance. This is why it can be so frustrating for people to see their once brilliant smile begin to dull over time. If you want to make improvements on the brightness of your teeth, speak with your dentist about a professional whitening treatment. Over the counter whitening agents can do good work eliminating stains on the surface of your teeth, but the overall results may leave you feeling underwhelmed. A professional whitening treatment can attack deeper stains in your enamel, for a more remarkable change. Exploring your cosmetic dental treatment options with your dentist can help you find the right way to make impressive improvements to your smile, and your overall appearance.

How Long Will It Take To Receive Porcelain Veneers?

Posted on by Wager-Evans Dental

Receiving porcelain veneers will allow you to cover up multiple flaws with your appearance, while only undergoing a single cosmetic dental procedure. This means you can see a dramatic change to your appearance in a relatively short time, even if you have several concerns about your smile. The process of having porcelain veneers designed, constructed, and placed will involve two visits. At the first visit, your dentist prepares your teeth, and notes the measurements needed to make sure your veneers are a perfect fit. Your follow-up visit will take place after the veneers have been constructed, and sent to your dentist’s office. Once the procedure has been finished, you can enjoy a great new smile that will offer impressive cosmetic support for many years.

However, if you allow problems with your smile to build up, you may need to arrange a more involved plan for dental care. Your dentist can work with you on that plan, by outlining what sort of care you need, and helping you schedule those treatments in a way that fits your needs, and your budget. One reason to rely on the services of a comprehensive dentist is that you can have a variety of work done through them, rather than having to seek out help from different practitioners.
