Teeth Veneers
Veneers can be used to whiten teeth and generally have the best results of any of the Miami teeth whitening procedures. A material, usually porcelain, is attached to the teeth and gives a natural, yet much whiter appearance than the natural tooth. Tooth veneers can be bonded to one or more teeth to create whiter and more symmetrical teeth. Veneers are usually recommended for individuals who have severely damaged teeth or individuals who need a long lasting teeth whitening solution, such as those in socially demanding occupations.
Internal Bleaching
On teeth that have been root treated, internal bleaching is sometimes performed. Internal bleaching consists of drilling a small hole down the center of each tooth and filling it with a bleaching agent. The teeth are then sealed to contain the bleaching substance. Generally, the bleaching agent is removed about a week later. The holes in the teeth are then sealed with a white filling to mimic the natural appearance of the teeth. The internal bleaching procedure is painless because the inside of the teeth do not contain nerves.
Whitening Gel
Whitening gel procedures are very similar to laser procedures, but a special light is used rather than a laser. A clear gel is painted onto the teeth and a light is focused on the patient's open mouth. Tiny crystals in the gel help focus and concentrate the light onto the teeth, creating a much stronger whitening procedure than the light alone. This is a very fast procedure, which generally requires only one session in the dentist's office. Sessions typically last about two hours.
