Denver Dental Veneers

Does dental veneers solve many esthetic cases... yes.  Do veneers solve "all" cases... no! In these situations we may need to use two different techniques to optimize the outcome of the cosmetic case.

Orthodontics only

Does orthodontics work in all  cases... again no!  If the teeth are of poor color that do not bleach effectively or are chipped or mis-shaped then orthodontics may not solve the problem. Orthodontics can mean something like Invisalign or full orthodontics with bands and brackets.  It all depends upon the movements and position of the teeth.

Teeth Whitening Denver Dentist

Teeth whitening choices

There are many different choices patients have to whiten or bleach their teeth. Over the years teeth become stained from a variety of substances including:

1. Coffee
2. Tea
3. Tobacco products
   
4. Red wine
5. other

Our Denver Dentist Dr. James DeLapp and Dr. H.Candace DeLapp have allow their patients to choose from a variety of procedures to meet their needs. Teeth whitening or teeth bleaching fit the bill for many cases of teeth darkening (but not) all. Some stains are so well embedded that teeth whitening does little to change the color. Tetracycline staining in the most frequent stain that is difficult/impossible to change. Certain colors are more difficult to change. In our Denver Dentists opinion the ranking of color from easiest to bleach to most difficult to bleach is as follows:

1. Yellow (most easy)
2. Brown
3. Gray
4. brown/gray/multicolor

Options to whiten teeth

There are many methods to whiten or bleach teeth. Some teeth do not whiten with the simple technique and need more concentrated solutions. A few teeth do not whiten with the more complex whitening treatment and some type of dental veneer "may" be needed. The following list ranges from the simplest to the most complex in the following list:

1. Whitening strip over the counter
2. Non-custom whitening trays from the dental office
3. Custom made whitening trays from the dental office
4. One hour teeth bleaching protocols (Luma)
5. Combinations of the above techniques

What if teeth bleaching does not work?

Yes... teeth bleaching does not work on every patient (it works on most!). In this situation we need to look at other options and this includes no treatment to some type of dental veneer. The key is the choice is yours.
