Dental Veneers
Are you looking to change the size, shape, colour or position of your teeth? Here at SmilePlanners, we have the answer.
​
​
What are Dental Veneers?
Veneers are like tooth-coloured shields that go across the front of your teeth to conceal flaws, which may include:
​
-
Short or worn teeth
-
Discoloured teeth
-
Spaces between teeth
-
Disproportionate tooth sizes and shapes
Veneers can dramatically enhance the appearance of your smile. They allow the dentist to restore fractured or misshapen teeth and re-align inset or crooked teeth.
To improve your smile further, veneers can be used in combination with Teeth Whitening.
Teeth Whitening
If your teeth are yellow or discoloured, professional teeth whitening is a common cosmetic dentistry procedure that could whiten and brighten your smile. Professional teeth whitening can get rid of the stubborn stains on your teeth and give you a smile that sparkles.
Causes of Yellowed or Stained Teeth
If you are like many people, you might enjoy a cup or two of coffee in the morning and perhaps a glass of red wine at the end of the day. These popular beverages are two of the biggest causes of stained and discoloured teeth.
There are foods that can stain your smile as well, including curries, tomato sauce and berries. Avoiding these foods and drinks can help keep your smile whiter.
There are other contributors to yellowing teeth, such as ageing and some types of medications, that are not so easy to circumvent. But others, such as the use of tobacco products and poor oral hygiene can be avoided with lifestyle changes.
Professional Teeth Whitening
There are many over the counter and do-it-yourself whitening options available, but why put your teeth at risk with unknown treatments? Professional teeth whitening under the care of your dentist is often safer and more effective. In just one visit to our dental clinic, we can provide an in-chair treatment to help promote the brighter and whiter smile many people desire. With this option, we apply and reapply our prescription-strength gel to your teeth at timed intervals.
​
This is the ideal option if you have a life event coming up shortly—wedding, dream vacation or a family portrait. We will also provide you with a take-home tray for top-up treatments when you want to refresh your results.
Take-Home Teeth Whitening for Your Convenience
For our take-home teeth whitening option, we create custom whitening trays for you to take home. With this option, you can brighten your smile when it’s convenient for you. Follow the instructions provided by a member of our dental team, and you can brighten your teeth while reading a favourite book or relaxing at home.
This option may be preferred when time permits and can be repeated periodically to maintain the brightness of your whitened teeth.
Long-Term Results of Teeth whitening
Whitening although there is nothing to be done about the ageing process, you can revise your lifestyle habits to promote white teeth. If you continue to eat foods and drink beverages that stain or keep using tobacco products, your teeth will not typically stay white. This will happen even faster for patients who do not take good care of their teeth at home or adhere to a dental maintenance programme by visiting the dentist routinely. Regular top-up treatments at home will also help keep teeth white.
Professional Teeth Whitening Compared with Shop-Bought
We recommend whitening your teeth under the directions of a dentist or dental professional. We want to be sure that the ingredients you use are safe for your teeth and gums and that the concentrations are effective, efficient but most of all safe for you.
With professional teeth whitening, we can monitor your progress to ensure to get the results you're looking for.
