When Whitening Goes Wrong
Professional teeth whitening works for most stains that are extrinsic, or on the outer layers of teeth. Intrinsic stains come from the inside, and can be a result of prescription medication snafus, fluorosis, or nerve damage to teeth. If your teeth don’t seem respond to whitening, no matter what the reason, your pursuit toward a bright and well-aligned smile might leave you feeling extremely frustrated. Porcelain veneers consist of wafer-thin ceramic shells which can be placed over gapped, damaged, flawed, and/or stained teeth to virtually erase multiple dental issues at the same time.
More on Porcelain Dental Veneers
Porcelain is a commonly used material for cosmetic dentistry and dental restoration procedures, which makes sense, since it provides both form and function. Porcelain naturally reflects light in such a way that it appears natural and tooth-like in your mouth. Porcelain veneers can offer you a smile with the look of your dreams that will also provide durability and stain resistance. Preparation requires just a small bit of tooth enamel to be shaved from your teeth for proper adhesion. Veneers can generally be provided to patients within two visits to the office. So, if whitening has given you dull results, consider a shiny new smile via porcelain dental veneers.
