Dynamic Dental Duo: Teeth Whitening and Veneers

Teeth whitening is a popular cosmetic dentistry procedure in Sacramento and throughout California.

Numerous ads for whitening products in our local Sacramento media contain terms such as ‘white brite’, ’22 carbamide peroxide’ and ‘peroxide teeth.’ They look tempting, but how do you separate tooth bleaching fact from fiction?

First, and especially for our local Sacramento patients, we recommend talking to Michael Boyce DDS at Arden Dental Care – Michael S. Boyce DDS at our Sacramento office. Just because teeth whitening products are readily available in Carmichael and Fair Oaks, it doesn’t mean they are all safe or appropriate for every person. Getting a professional opinion is a good first step.

Don’t be fooled by smile whitening hype and risk damage, especially if you need tetracycline teeth whitening. If you have existing cosmetic dental work such as crowns, bonding, partial dentures or bridgework, it is especially important to talk to a Sacramento dental professional about worry-free teeth whitening.

Teeth whitening kits are not the only way to quickly improve your smile in Carmichael. Many of your Fair Oaks and Elk Grove neighbors have benefited from porcelain veneers. There are several brands of veneers such as Lumineers by Cerinate, da Vinci and Mac. We can help you decide which is best for you.

Veneers are sometimes called ‘instant orthodontics’ because they can correct tooth misalignment and gaps as well as provide instant teeth whitening.

Porcelain veneers can also fix chipped teeth and cover stains. The vast majority of Sacramento veneer recipients are extremely pleased with the results.
