Teeth Whitening

Over time, teeth naturally lose their brightness and brilliance and may not stay white forever. The consumption of staining drinks and foods like coffee, tea, tobacco, and some medications can accelerate the discoloration process. However, professional teeth whitening can address all of these issues. Dr. Martins provides in-office treatments and custom-made take-home whitening trays that can brighten teeth by 8 to 10 shades. For optimal results, it’s recommended to try both methods and use the take-home trays for touch-ups between in-office whitening sessions.

Veneers

Dental veneers, crafted from thin sheets of porcelain, are customized to fit and cover the front of your teeth. While they are a permanent solution, they require a small amount of enamel removal. During the production of your personalized veneers, temporary ones will be worn for about one to two weeks.

After the production of your porcelain veneers, Dr. Martins will verify the fit and color before securing them permanently onto your teeth. Veneers provide an excellent cosmetic solution and can create both subtle and significant changes to your smile.

Bonding

Cosmetic dental bonding is a procedure that can enhance the appearance of a tooth, as well as repair chips and cracks, and small fillings in the front of teeth. It can also be used to modify the shape, size, and color of teeth.

If both you and Paradise Dental agree that bonding is the appropriate choice, your teeth will be etched with a solution to prepare them for the bonding material. Dr. Martins will then use dental resin to fill or mold the tooth into the desired shape.

Once the tooth has been sculpted, your dentist will use a laser or light to cure the bond and harden the resin. After curing, the bonded tooth will be polished to match the rest of your smile’s natural shine.
