Teeth Whitening

Monteiro Dental, Blackpool - Saturday, 16th January 2010

Whiting

Teeth are stained by the foods and drinks we consume. Smoking further stains teeth and the natural bright, white shade becomes darkened. Teeth whitening is a successful and simple method of lightening the colour of your teeth. The degree of whiteness achieved will vary from patient to patient and with the type of bleaching process chosen.

Tooth whitening is a simple, safe and effective way to create a brighter, whiter smile which can make you look years younger. A custom-made mouth guard containing a flavoured gel is worn at night. As the effect is cumulative, you are in control and can choose to stop wearing the mouth-guard when the desired result is obtained.

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain Veneers

If your front teeth are stained, chipped, or malaligned, veneers will give you a good life-like appearance with minimum tooth adjustment.

A veneer is a facing on the front of your teeth usually your top teeth, it is just like a false finger nail.

Veneers are made out of porcelain and are used mainly for aesthetic reasons.

Veneers make teeth look natural and healthy, and because they are very thin and are held in place by a special strong bond (rather like super-glue) very little preparation of the tooth is needed.

Porcelain veneers can improve the colour, shape and position of teeth.

White Fillings

Monteiro Dental, Blackpool - Saturday, 16th January 2010

White Fillings

If the decay is not too serious, our cosmetic dentist will remove all the decay and restore the tooth with a white (tooth coloured) filling.

We can safely replace silver amalgam fillings with white tooth coloured fillings.

Dental decay happens when the enamel and dentine of a tooth become softened by acid attack, producing a cavity (hole).
