Teeth Whitening

Cosmetic dentistry encompasses any dental work that is done to improve the appearance of your teeth, gums, and entire smile.

While a smile makeover is an effective way to experience a dramatic improvement in the appearance of your smile, it isn’t necessary for everyone. Many of our patients can achieve their desired look with simpler, more cost-effective treatments.

Dental bonding is a versatile restoration that can address a variety of functional and aesthetic problems with your teeth. If you’re looking to maintain a bright smile, it’s important to understand that the resin material used with dental bonding will stain over time, but it doesn’t respond to whitening treatments. Therefore, whitening your teeth will create a situation where your natural teeth become a different shade than the bonding material.

Earlier this month, Amazon removed its best-selling teeth whitening kit, Harvey and Coco’s Smile Rehab® Teeth Whitening Kit, after it was revealed that the kit contained a chemical harmful to pregnant woman and unborn babies. With more than 800 Amazon reviews averaging 4.5 stars, the kit’s removal has left many people wondering if teeth whitening is safe.
