Porcelain veneers are a great way to restore and beautify your smile. Veneers are small, thin, tooth-shaped dental prostheses made of durable porcelain. They are intended to fit over your natural teeth and bond to them permanently, covering up the front chewing surfaces.
Veneers are a versatile method of restoring your smile, and they can treat multiple cosmetic issues. Because veneers completely cover up the front surface of your teeth, they can address almost any imperfection, including serious staining, chipping, wear & tear, gaps, and even slightly crooked teeth. Typically, the placement process only takes about two 1-2 hour appointments over a 2-3 week span, so you will be able to enjoy your new smile and get back to your day-to-day life quickly!
Teeth are easily stained by tobacco use and drinking dark beverages like coffee, tea, or wine. Discoloring can even occur simply as a result of the natural aging process. Our professional teeth whitening treatments from Dr. Bancroft will rejuvenate and brighten your smile quickly. Using powerful peroxide-based whitening agents, Dr. Bancroft can remove stubborn stains and yellowing and provide you with a beautiful, naturally white smile.
We offer both in-office whitening and take-home whitening treatments at our office. In-office whitening typically provides faster results, so it’s a good option if you would like to have your teeth whitened before a special event like a wedding, photoshoot, or reunion.
Take-home whitening usually takes between 1-3 weeks and involves wearing a set of custom-built trays and a professional whitening compound provided by Dr. Bancroft. This simple treatment provides more subtle, gradual results and allows you to whiten your teeth in the comfort of your own home. Take-home whitening is a good option for patients who would like more discreet treatment.
Teeth whitening has a number of benefits that make it a great option for those who wish to restore their smile. First, it is a very affordable treatment. It’s also non-invasive, and the most common side effect is temporary tooth sensitivity in some patients. The best teeth whitening can help reverse stains and yellowing associated with aging, so it can make your smile look younger and rejuvenate your appearance. By removing stubborn stains that make you feel self-conscious about your smile, you will be able to speak, smile, and laugh with confidence.
The American Dental Association explains that whitening products contain hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, which break stains into smaller pieces so the color is less concentrated and your teeth look brighter, and that yellow teeth will probably bleach well. It adds that some people may experience tooth sensitivity, which in most cases is temporary, and that whitening will not work on caps, veneers, crowns, or fillings. This supports the point above about brightening stains and the importance of talking with your dentist first.
