Cosmetic dentistry spans a number of dental fields, and improving your smile can vary in complexity from simple filling replacements with tooth-colour matched composite resin to full smile makeovers using dental crowns, porcelain veneers, dental implants and even dentures.

Veneers are thin, tooth-coloured porcelain laminates that are custom made and shaped to bond to the front of your teeth. They are used to recreate the natural look of your teeth, and are primarily an aesthetic option for treating chipped, uneven or discoloured teeth. They can also be used to eliminate gaps between the teeth and improve your smile. Veneers are custom-made for your teeth therefore it is almost impossible to tell the difference between a veneer and a natural tooth.

Similarly, teeth whitening or bleaching is an affordable way of improving your smile, helping remove stains and discoloration. Teeth whitening is one of the most popular dental cosmetic procedures because of its ease of use and obvious improvements. The most common reason for teeth to become yellow is because of tobacco smoking, drinking coffee, tea or wine and poor oral hygiene. At  Naenae Dental Clinic they offer several different teeth whitening options that can help improve your smile including Take-Home Whitening Trays and Professional Whitening (ZOOM Whitening) undertaken in the clinic.

Take-Home Whitening trays include are Pre-Loaded Bleaching Trays which are worn daily. These are very easy to use and help whiten teeth significantly. Take-Home Whitening Trays are a lower concentration of bleaching agent, hence they usually require repeat treatments to have effect. These can be purchased from the front office or may be custom made to specifically fit your mouth.

Professional Whitening (ZOOM Whitening) involves the application of whitening gel to the teeth. The gel is activated by a LED light, and activates the photochemical reaction and allows the gel to gently penetrate the tooth to remove deep stains. The main benefit of Professional Whitening is time, as results are seen instantly after treatment.

Cosmetic dentistry is all about creating a beautiful natural  smile that doesn’t look like great dentistry, just great teeth, so for more information on dentists Wellington, dentists Lower Hutt and orthodontists Lower Hutt please go to http://naenaedentalclinic.co.nz .
