The natural shade of each person’s teeth can differ based on a number of factors, including genetics and lifestyle habits. Dazzlingly white smiles are often associated with celebrities, but the truth is that anyone can obtain a stunning smile with the right dental care. Our cosmetic dentist in Ballston Lake, Colin Morton, DDS, offers a variety of treatment options to help patients achieve beautiful, healthy teeth that they are proud to showcase.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening is a tried and true method for patients looking to obtain brighter, whiter teeth. Dr. Morton offers professional-strength take-home trays, offering patients the chance to achieve a whiter smile from the comfort and convenience of home. Unlike over-the-counter whitening solutions, Philips Zoom! DayWhite and NightWhite trays are custom-formulated in our office by Dr. Morton based on the unique needs of the patient. They are also a higher strength than OTC formulas, allowing for more dramatic results.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain dental veneers can provide total smile rejuvenation. These thin sheets of high-quality dental ceramic are custom-made to fit over the fronts and sides of natural teeth in order to create the smile of each patient’s dreams. Depending on how many veneers they choose to get, patients can often achieve a degree of whiteness that the natural composition of their teeth may not otherwise allow for. Furthermore, veneers can also help disguise chips, cracks, gaps, deep stains, wear, and many other tooth imperfections for a complete smile makeover.
Good Oral Hygiene
One of the simplest and most affordable ways to brighten your smile is good at-home hygiene care. Even just regular brushing and flossing—combined with twice-yearly professional cleanings—can prevent the buildup of plaque and remove surface stains. It can also be helpful to avoid highly-pigmented foods and beverages such as coffees, teas, berries, red wines, and tomato-based products, since these can stain your teeth. Plus, for those who have had cosmetic dentistry treatments, good oral hygiene is also an important part of maintaining the color of your newly whitened teeth or keeping your veneers in great condition!
