Veneers & Teeth Whitening

At Hale Family Dental, we can help you achieve the smile of your dreams with our veneers and teeth whitening services.

Veneers

If your teeth are healthy but you just want a more attractive smile, veneers are a possible solution. Veneers can improve your smile if your teeth are:

• Unevenly spaced

• Stained or yellowed

• Crooked or misshapen

• Chipped or worn down

Veneers are thin shells that are adhered to the front of the teeth that show when you smile. The process to have veneers applied to your teeth will take several steps:

• At the first visit, your dentist will remove a small amount of enamel from each tooth to make room for the veneers.

• He or she will make a mold of your teeth and send the impressions to a dental lab to create the veneers.

• During your second visit, your dentist will make sure the veneers fit and look right.

• They will clean and then bond the veneers to your teeth.

After your veneer treatment, make sure to continue good oral hygiene and avoid chewing hard things.

Teeth Whitening

Our teeth whitening services can benefit you if you have stained or yellowed teeth. Professional whitening services involve the following process:

• The dentist will clean and polish your teeth to remove plaque.

• Gauze and retractors will be placed in your mouth to keep your teeth dry during treatment. Your dentist will also use a gum barrier to protect your gums from the whitening solution

• our dentist will apply the whitening solution to the front surfaces of your teeth

• A curing light may be used next to activate the whitening agent in the solution.

• The solution will be removed after 30-60 minutes, and possibly reapplied until the ideal shade has been reached.

Make sure to avoid staining foods or beverages for at least 24 hours after your treatment. Feel free to contact Hale Family Dental to see if veneers or whitening services may be right for you.
