Questions For Our Porcelain Veneer Dentists

Are veneers worth it?
Your smile says a lot about your personality, which is why our Canton, MI cosmetic dentists may recommend porcelain veneers if you wish to improve teeth in the “smile zone.” These are the teeth that are front and center when you smile.

Dental veneers can help improve the appearance of front teeth so you can talk and smile with confidence. Having a beautiful white smile can also help you make a good first impression on those around you.

How long do veneers last?
How long your porcelain dental veneers last will depend on your oral hygiene habits. To protect your porcelain veneers and oral health, you’ll need to brush your teeth twice a day and floss once daily. We also recommend not chewing ice, using your teeth as tools, biting your nails, or continuing other bad habits that could damage your dental veneers.

What happens during the veneers procedure?
The veneers procedure takes two trips to our office. During your first appointment, our dentists will remove a thin layer of enamel from the fronts of your teeth to make room for the veneers.

Next, they’ll take dental impressions to send to the lab where your porcelain veneers will be made. While you wait for your permanent veneers, we’ll place temporary covers over your teeth. When you return for your second appointment, we’ll replace the temporary veneers with the permanent ones.

Questions For Our Teeth Whitening Dentists

How do our dentists whiten teeth?
Our Canton, MI teeth whitening dentists are able to create custom trays for you to use at home. During your first appointment with us, our dentists will take impressions of your teeth to send to the lab.

Once your custom teeth whitening trays are ready, you’ll be called back to our office. Our teeth whitening dentists will make sure the tray fits comfortably over your teeth and give you the bleaching solution that goes with it.

How long does it take for our dentist to whiten teeth?
If you choose teeth whitening in our office, you can achieve a noticeably brighter smile in one appointment. The duration of your appointment will depend on the extent of tooth discoloration. If you choose teeth whitening at home with custom trays, you’ll notice a more gradual whitening of your teeth over time.

Is dentist teeth whitening safe?
Yes, professional teeth whitening is safe as long as you follow our dentists’ instructions. If you are teeth whitening at home with our custom teeth whitening trays, be sure to follow the product’s guidelines.

Since teeth whitening can temporarily give you sensitive teeth or irritate your gums, our dentists will discuss what options are best for your smile before beginning treatment.

Your smile says a lot about your personality, which is why our Canton, MI cosmetic dentists offer teeth bonding.

Unlike other dental procedures, cosmetic bonding is minimally invasive and can help you start smiling with confidence in as little as one appointment.

If you’ve ever felt self-conscious about your front teeth, schedule an appointment with our dental office in Canton, Michigan today.

What Is Cosmetic Bonding?
Our teeth bonding dentists will first roughen the surface of your teeth before applying a conditioning liquid. This is done to help the composite resin stick to the surface of your teeth.

Our dentists will then mold the composite resin to rebuild your tooth. Once our cosmetic dentists are satisfied with how the composite resin looks, they’ll use a special light or laser to harden the material and create a strong bond.

What’s the Difference Between Bonding and Veneers?
During the teeth bonding procedure, our cosmetic dentists don’t have to remove tooth structure unless you have a cavity. If we were to place porcelain veneers on your teeth, we would have to remove a thin layer of enamel from the fronts of your teeth. Dental bonding is less invasive than veneers but tends not to last as long.

How Long Does Teeth Bonding Last?
How long cosmetic bonding lasts depends on your oral hygiene habits. We recommend not chewing ice cubes, hard candy, or other substances that can damage dental bonding. Also, be sure to continue scheduling oral examinations with our dentist’s office so we can monitor the condition of your teeth bonding.
