When Teeth Whitening Isn’t Enough Anymore

In most cases, professional teeth whitening can lift stubborn stains and discoloration from the teeth. However, some intrinsic stains are hard to treat. In this case, your dentist in Scottsdale can recommend alternatives, such as dental veneers. 

Why Trust Your Teeth Whitening to the Dentist

 

  • Dentists use prescription-grade whitening systems that you cannot purchase in stores or online. 
  • Dentists ensure your oral health is in shape before administering treatment. This is not possible when you whiten on your own. 
  • Over-the-counter treatments can be too harsh for your enamel, causing damage and lingering discomfort. 
  • If professional teeth whitening cannot lift stubborn stains, it is almost certain that nothing you buy online will work either.

When Professional Teeth Whitening in Scottsdale Is Not Enough

Denal veneers can hide a whole host of imperfections, from short teeth to discoloration, from gummy smiles to slightly crooked teeth. They are popular with patients who want to conceal multiple issues rather than a single one. However, they work beautifully to conceal tooth stains and discoloration. 

Other options that can serve as alternatives to teeth whitening include dental crowns and dental bonding. 

A dental crown fits over the stained tooth to the gumline. Dental bonding is an applied and buildable resin that matches your teeth.
