Are you unhappy with your smile? Whether it’s dental discoloration or minor damage that’s making you feel insecure, your cosmetic dentist in East Longmeadow & Northampton offers several treatments, like teeth whitening and porcelain veneers, to help transform your grin. Read on to learn which treatment is right for you and how to start your journey towards boosting your confidence.

Who is a Good Candidate for Professional Teeth Whitening?

Yes, you can purchase an over-the-counter teeth whitening kit from your local department store, but that doesn’t mean that it will provide you with ideal results or is safe for your teeth and gums. Why take that gamble when you can receive professional teeth whitening in East Longmeadow & Northampton instead? Not only are the products they use clinically proven to be both effective and safe, but they can also provide you with virtually guaranteed results.

The best candidate for professional teeth whitening is somebody who is looking to solely brighten their smile. Since your cosmetic dentist utilizes highly concentrated ingredients, treatment can remove even the deepest stains caused by taking certain medications and using tobacco products.

Who is a Good Candidate for Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers are thin, durable shells that are custom-made for individual teeth that have been damaged, are severely discolored, or even slightly misaligned. Unlike teeth whitening, which is a treatment aimed to treat one issue, stained teeth, porcelain veneers can address a variety of flaws at once. The veneers will be cemented to the visible surface of your teeth to reveal a complete, bright, and undamaged smile. Good candidates for this procedure include somebody who is looking to address dental stains as well as other flaws without needing to get multiple treatments.

Starting Your Journey Towards a Beautified Smile

The best way to determine what cosmetic treatment is right for you is to contact your dentist and schedule a consultation. They’ll listen to the desires you have for your smile and your dental needs and create a customized plan to address your concerns and achieve the results you’re hoping for. If you need to address even more imperfections, they also offer complete smile makeovers to help you gain your dream grin!
