Answer Key
1. True. In addition, smoking also leaves unsightly yellow stains on our teeth. To combat discoloration, cut back on foods and drinks high in sugars and other starches. Drinks containing dark pigments, such as coffee, tea, soda, and red wine, also stain teeth.
2. True. With Zoom! Whitening, patients can improve smile beauty in about 45 minutes from our office. First, a protective covering will be placed over the lips and gums. Then the bleaching solution will be applied to the teeth. Using a special light, Dr. Wright will activate the bleaching ingredients, brightening your smile by multiple shades.
3. True. After taking an impression of your teeth, a set of custom-made whitening trays will be fabricated. Dr. Wright will then prescribe a powerful bleaching gel. The gel-filled trays can be worn overnight or for a set amount of time during the day, depending on the severity of your discoloration. In about two weeks, you can obtain a dazzling smile.
4. True. Dental bonding masks permanent stains in one visit using a natural looking composite resin. Veneers are thin shells of porcelain placed onto the front of your teeth. Veneers mimic the appearance of natural enamel and cover up any stubborn intrinsic teeth stains.
