4 Whitening Options: Which Is Right for Your Smile?

Everyone wants a radiant smile. But with numerous whitening options available, it can be challenging to choose which method is the best fit for you. Luckily, you’ve got several great possibilities at our office.

The best way to explore them is to schedule a consultation. Call Artistic Dental Centre at 708-578-5875 for an appointment. Your dentist will help you define your smile goals and select the most suitable whitening method based on your dental health, lifestyle, and budget.

In the meantime, check out a brief overview:

  • Professional Teeth Whitening – Professional whitening utilizes a potent solution to eliminate stains and discoloration. We offer both in-office and at-home treatments. The high concentration of whitening agents delivers more noticeable results compared to over-the-counter products. Most patients can expect their teeth to lighten by several shades. Results will diminish over time, though, especially if you smoke or consume foods and drinks that stain.
  • Dental Veneers – These custom-made, thin shells are applied to the front of your teeth, enhancing their color, shape, and size. With proper care, they can last between 10 to 15 years or longer. Besides whitening teeth, they can repair chips, cracks, and gaps. They are also resistant to staining. Veneers can be one of the pricier whitening options, especially for multiple teeth. They also involve the removal of some enamel, making this a permanent alteration to your teeth.
  • Dental Bonding – This method involves applying a tooth-colored resin to enhance the color and shape of your teeth, which is then hardened with a special light. Bonding is generally more budget-friendly compared to veneers or crowns. Often, the treatment can be completed in a single appointment. However, bonding is not as durable or stain-resistant as veneers or crowns. It typically lasts between 3 to 10 years.
  • Dental Crowns – Crowns are caps that cover your teeth, restoring their shape, size, and strength while enhancing their appearance. They can be customized to match the color of your natural teeth. They offer excellent strength and longevity. They are ideal for severely discolored or damaged teeth. Unlike most dentists, you can get a crown in a single appointment at our office. Crowns can be costly, though, especially for multiple teeth. 

Selecting the right teeth whitening method hinges on your individual needs, budget, and desired speed of results. Your dentist will help you find the right whitening for your smile.
