Do you want white, straight, teeth?

A common request from our patients is wanting a whiter, straighter, smile. Everyone feels like they have yellow teeth, and want to smile with confidence more.

So, what can be done?

Like all things, it depends on the cause and the end goal. For some people, custom made take home whitening kits is all that is needed. For others, it’s a more complex mix of orthodontics to straighten, whitening, and veneers.

A couple rule of thumb’s that might be helpful:

• If there is crowding, yellowed teeth, and mis-shaped teeth= Orthodontics to straighten, whitening to lighten, and veneers to whiten and correct shapes/spaces/etc.

• No crowding, mis-shaped teeth, and yellowed= Whitening and veneers.

• Just yellowed teeth= whitening.

It’s important to remember that not everyone is the same or is bothered by similar things. However, if you have been mulling over these kinds of thoughts and questions; come in and have chat. At the very least you’ll know what can be done and achieved for you- even if you decide to do nothing.
