Teeth whitening and aesthetic treatmentWhat is the difference between teeth whitening and veneer?
Teeth whitening is a treatment that brightens the color of natural teeth, and veneer is a treatment that changes both color and shape by bonding ceramic to the tooth surface.
Teeth whitening and aesthetic treatmentIf I am only concerned about the color of my teeth, is whitening enough?
If you have no problems with the shape or alignment of your teeth and are simply concerned about their color, you can consider whitening first. However, because it may be difficult to achieve the desired color change through teeth whitening alone, it is recommended to develop a treatment plan that takes into account the difference between the current tooth color and the desired color. At MAKE Dental Clinic, if lamination is not absolutely necessary, we will also determine whether the desired results can be achieved using a more conservative method.
Teeth whitening and aesthetic treatmentHow long does teeth whitening last?
There are differences depending on the individual's eating habits, smoking status, oral care, etc. Over time, the color may naturally darken again and additional whitening may be considered as needed.
Teeth whitening and aesthetic treatmentCan my teeth become sensitive or weak after whitening?
Your teeth may become temporarily sensitive during the whitening process. It is difficult to say that whitening performed in an appropriate manner simply 'weakens' teeth, but it is important to select the concentration and method that suits the individual's dental condition.
Teeth whitening and aesthetic treatmentDoes the whitening effect disappear quickly if I drink coffee or tea?
Frequent consumption of foods or drinks with strong pigments, such as coffee, tea, or wine, may affect the speed of re-pigmentation.
Teeth whitening and aesthetic treatmentDo I need to get whitening first before veneer treatment?
If you want to keep the color of surrounding natural teeth bright, it may be advantageous to perform whitening first before creating veneer. This is because the final veneer color can be determined based on the stable color of natural teeth.
Teeth whitening and aesthetic treatmentCan scaling alone brighten teeth?
Scaling is a treatment that removes tartar and external deposits, leaving your teeth looking cleaner and brighter as surface stains are removed. However, it is not a treatment that changes the unique color of the teeth themselves like whitening.
