In Dental Veneers - The Opportunity For Effective And Safe Teeth Whitening
A person looking for teeth whitening help today has two main options
. They can either have the teeth bleached white, or they can have the coloration on the teeth 'covered' through aids like dental veneers.
There are many reasons that could make a person go looking for such teeth whitening, in the first place. Most boil down to the pursuit of the economic and social advantages that having perfectly white teeth comes with. After all, it is no secret that we are living in image conscious society, a society in which doors tend to fly open in the face of those who 'look the part' while those whose aesthetics are wanting are left struggling.
So when you finally make up your mind to visit your dentist about the possibility of teeth whitening for you, the dentist is likely to give you an overview of the options open to you, for whitening your teeth. You can either have them bleached, or you can have the coloration on them covered up, through the use of a veneer.
Either option, as far teeth whitening goes, has an upside and a downside to it.
Most people tend to opt for bleaching - even when it is not ideal for them - because of its cheaper pricing, and its 'hassle-free' nature. The later factor, of teeth bleaching being hassle-free comes out clearly when you take into consideration the fact that easy-to-use DIY teeth whiteners nowadays exist. These are packages you buy at the drug store or over the Internet, and then proceed to use at home to effect the teeth whitening: saving yourself the cost and inconvenience of dental visits.
Yet there times when use of dental veneers makes a more intelligent choice. Indeed, truth be told, many of the cases that people are attempting to treat through bleaching (often with little or no success) are cases that would be ideally treated through the use of veneers.
A good instance of these situations when use of dental veneers would be a better solution is where the tooth coloration problem is severe. And most of the people looking for teeth cleaning help are exactly people with this degree of tooth staining: a degree of tooth staining that simply wouldn't respond to ordinary bleaching efforts. So these are the folks who use bleaching without any success - and end up drawing the conclusion that teeth whitening is unattainable.
For these people, there is - in veneers - the opportunity for truly effective teeth whitening. When you take into consideration the fact that swallowing traces of these teeth bleaches (which you inevitably have to do, when using them) wouldn't do your body much good, and that the bleaches tend to erode the enamel on the teeth (leading to enhanced tooth sensitivity), you see how much safer use of the dental veneers is. The fact that the teeth whitening results from the use of veneers tend to last for very long, compared to teeth whitening results from the use of bleaches, then the veneers come across as even more attractive.
To be sure, the veneers are considerably expensive, typically more expensive than the bleaches. And to be sure, the placement of the veneers tends to be quite an intrusive process; involving 'carving' the teeth slight to create a foundation for them (the veneers). Then again there is the fact that the veneers are not recommended for use by people whose teeth are aesthetically adequate as they are. But for the people on whom the use of veneers is appropriate, there is no denying that the veneers offer opportunity for fast, effective, and relatively safe teeth whitening.
