New York Teeth Whitening - Professional Teeth Whitening Methods

Teeth become stained and discolored from coffee, tea, colored carbonated drinks, red wine, and smoking. There are many New York City teeth whitening systems performed by certified dentists and their staff to produce long lasting and beautiful results.

Teeth are cleaned and plaque is removed before any cleaning procedure is performed. The hydrogen-peroxide based whitening gel is applied to the teeth before the laser or lighting tool is used to activate the whitening. Some procedures require certain tools and others do not require the use of tools at all. Laser whitening is the most expensive method. Crystals in the gel are activated by the laser light to penetrate enamel and cause the whitening effect on the teeth. This method is a favorite of patients with sensitive teeth and is completed in one visit. Britesmile was the first non-laser method available. The whitening gel is combined with another compound before applying to the teeth. This mixture is activated by a gas plasma or LED bleaching light which works on both the upper and lower teeth simultaneously.

We will review the three most popular teeth whitening procedures in New York City next month.

Teeth Whitening in New York City

One way to improve your appearance is through teeth whitening in New York City. Teeth whitening is a fairly simple process which can be done using a kit provided by the dentist or purchased at a drug store. Dentists can make impressions of the mouth which are used to make trays which are custom fit to the mouth. Whitening gel is used to fill the trays and the trays are then worn in the mouth for a certain number of hours each day to gradually whiten the teeth to the desired shade. Drug store whitening kits work in relatively the same way except the whitening gel is on a strip which can be adhered to the teeth rather than using custom fit trays. Whitening trays or strips can be worn while sleeping to eliminate the time spent during your day spent whitening the teeth.

New York City teeth whitening can dramatically improve the look of your smile and can give you the confidence you need to grin and smile more. Teeth whitening can make the teeth whiter even if they have been dramatically stained by coffee drinking or smoking cigarettes. It is important to note that though teeth whitening can remove stains caused by coffee or cigarette smoking, the stains will reappear if either of those products are used during the process of whitening or after the teeth are whitened. To go through the process of teeth whitening just once and maintain the sparkling white shine of your smile, cigarette smoking and coffee drinking should be limited.

New York City Porcelain Veneers by Dr. Golub-Evans

Porcelain veneers are a cosmetic dentistry tool that is very popular today. Porcelain veneers are made in a dental laboratory, are bonded to your teeth, and last a long time. Usually, new york city porcelain veneers are used in cases where tooth damage is extensive. In addition to creating a more attractive smile, porcelain veneers can protect your teeth. There are many problems that can be solved using porcelain veneers, including:

Worn Teeth

Teeth wear down as we age. Sometimes we do things to chip or crack our teeth, too. Porcelain veneers can restore the wear on teeth and fill the chips and cracks. While bonding can be used to repair small cracks and chips, porcelain veneers are used for larger tooth defects.

Odd Spaces

Sometimes our teeth come in and are positioned oddly. There may be unwanted spaces between them. Porcelain veneers can fill in these small gaps to make teeth appear more even.

Discolored Teeth

Living in New York City, we have a lot of great foods. However, sometimes teeth become discolored from all those food and beverage stains. In other cases discoloration can be from worn enamel. Porcelain veneers will restore the color of your discolored teeth.

The three problems described above can be solved using porcelain veneers in our New York City cosmetic dentistry office. Porcelain veneers do not involve painful procedures and drilling. Thus, this is a way to make your smile whiter and more attractive without the distress of other dental procedures. Imagine how much your new smile will boost your self-esteem.
