Perhaps you\u2019re tired of seeing a stained smile every time you look in the bathroom mirror. Unfortunately, it seems you can\u2019t decide between teeth whitening or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.randolphdental.com\/veneers.html\">dental veneers<\/a>. How do you tell which is the better procedure? Your cosmetic dentist can help with this problem. Here\u2019s a summary of each treatment\u2019s strengths and weaknesses and how best to decide between them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pros &amp; Cons of Teeth Whitening<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Teeth-whitening is a dental procedure that uses bleaching gel to turn tooth enamel white. As offered by dentists, it can be done in-office or at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest advantage of professional whitening tends to be its cost-effectiveness. The bleaching procedure can remove tooth stains and make teeth 6-8 shades whiter in as little as a one-hour appointment. These results can then last up to three years with proper dental care. Combined with a low price, these features make whitening an excellent investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, the downside to whitening is that it isn\u2019t as thorough compared to alternatives. Sometimes its results fade quicker than expected, or it doesn\u2019t whiten particularly dark spots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pros &amp; Cons of Dental Veneers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental veneers are thin layers of porcelain cemented to the front of teeth. Dentists use them to hide various smile flaws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Veneers are well-known for being customized and long-lasting. They\u2019re made to match the patient\u2019s enamel, so they blend seamlessly with surrounding teeth. Furthermore, they can last upward of fifteen years in ideal circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, veneers can also be expensive. Their porcelain is durable and strong, so they usually cost more than whitening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which Service Is Right for You?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before making a final decision, ask for input from your local dentist. They can walk you through which of the two services would meet your needs. After all, teeth-whitening and veneers work best for different problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, whitening is suited for erasing yellowish stains caused by foods and drinks. As such, grey or brown discoloration is harder for it to eliminate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, veneers are good for dealing with stubborn staining. They\u2019re able to fix chipped or cracked teeth as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the end of the day, both whitening and veneers can make for shinier teeth. Talk to your dental practice for more details on your ideal choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.randolphdental.com\/dr-glen-goldstein.html\">Dr. Glen Goldstein<\/a> is a dentist based in Randolph, NJ.
