Dental Bleaching Kits To Use In Home Have Differences

August 14th, 2010

Are you one of those people who constantly wishes that their teeth were whiter? It can be quite difficult to keep your teeth white if you are constantly drinking coffee, smoking or drinking red wine. All of these and even more foods cause discoloration in your teeth that can be almost impossible to get rid of. You can use a home dental whitening kit, but most of them don’t really work as they are supposed to – and this is mostly because of the limitations that are set in legislation. FDA for example sets the limits for the maximal amount of bleaching agent that can be used in these kits in the US – some companies go lower than these limits to be safe, some have high quality factories where they can produce a whitener that is just at the limit and will give the best effects.

The problem with dental bleaching kits is that if there isn’t enough bleaching agent in it, it will not do anything. 14% of carbamide peroxide is the exact same amount that dentists use for whitening your teeth, and there is a big reason for this. It is the smallest amount that is still safe and will produce some results. Bleaching kits that have less peroxides in them don’t work even if you use more of them that is advised – the solution simply isn’t strong enough to even start the whitening process in your teeth.

Before you choose to use any home bleaching kit for your teeth, it is a good idea to visit your dentist and get a full check up done. At the same time you should ask how much a dentist will charge for teeth whitening, just to be sure that you are saving money doing it yourself – if you think that it is not expensive to have it done at the dentists, you should have a professional do it for you.

Composites/Bonding

August 11th, 2010

A common cosmetic dentistry procedure is known as composite tooth bonding. This is when you will have a composite filling sealed to your tooth by a Dentist in Modesto in order to replace decay spots on the tooth. If you have a gap in your teeth, composites are commonly used to fill the gap. It is a tough resin material and it will provide you with a nicer smile.

When you are having cosmetic dentistry done you need to work with a Modesto Dentist that can provide you with high quality service. Since a lot of the tooth shades vary, the dentist will use their personal judgment to pick a color, which can change the look of your mouth dramatically.

How does composite tooth bonding differ from veneers? A veneer is placed over the front of the tooth to provide you with a completely new tooth basically. The composites are only used on areas that need a small treatment done such as a decay spot from braces, a small crack or chip. The tooth will be etched and then the clear bonding agent will be applied to the tooth before the composite material is applied. The dentist will work on making the color blend to the tooth and then they will smooth the composite material in order to avoid any ledges from the composite which can lead to decay spots in the future.

A skilled dentist will need a lot of time in order to get the coloring just right and to make it appear perfect to what you need. Since they are working on surfaces of the teeth that are commonly seen by other people with you smile, they will be very intimate with the work on the tooth as they want it to look as close to your normal tooth as possible.
