Teeth Whitening

Tooth whitening or bleaching is an effective method used to lighten the colour of teeth. However there are some possible downsides that patients must be aware of. It is not a permanent solution and bleached teeth can become more porous and absorb food stains over time. However the procedure can be repeated and the whitening effect does last several years. Occasionally patients do experience some (usually temporary) sensitivity.

Veneers

Veneers are wafer-thin shells of ceramic material that cover the front surfaces of teeth, providing a dramatic change in appearance. These are bonded to teeth that have been prepared by having a small amount of enamel removed, so they don’t appear too bulky. Long-lasting veneers can change the size, shape or color of teeth, and even close small gaps between.
