\"YourIf you are about to transform your smile with cosmetic dentistry<\/a>, then you may be wondering what procedure comes first: teeth whitening or something else? This is an important consideration because your cosmetic dentist in Kent wants you have the optimal outcome of an aesthetically pleasing smile. Read on to learn the how and why behind this decision.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Porcelain Veneers and Staining<\/h2>\n

Porcelain veneers are an excellent choice to improve the appearance of some teeth that are either permanently stained or structurally damaged by chips, cracks or breaks. These hard tooth coverings are made of fine dental porcelain that resists the staining effects of foods that can typically discolor your natural teeth. This also means that porcelain veneers resist the effects of bleaching agents in any teeth whitening<\/a> solution. This can mean that if your teeth are whitened after you\u2019ve received porcelain veneers that are matched to your tooth color, then the veneers may appear darker than the rest of your smile. There really isn\u2019t any tooth whitening system that can change the color of your veneers once they\u2019re placed. Moreover, the adhesive that bonds veneers to your teeth can affect the final color.<\/p>\n

Cosmetic Bonding and Dental Crowns<\/h2>\n

The same can be said for cosmetic bonding and dental crowns. Both of these cosmetic treatments also resist bleaching. Cosmetic bonding uses composite resin material to rebuild a slightly damaged tooth or one that is permanently stained. Dental crowns fully encapsulate a tooth to restore form and function. These, too, are made of strong dental porcelain just like porcelain veneers.<\/p>\n

Whiten Your Teeth Before Other Treatments<\/h2>\n

In order to have uniform whiteness across your smile, the dentists at Complete Dental Care recommend having your teeth whitened first. Then, we can match veneers, cosmetic bonding or dental crowns to the new white color of your teeth. Done this way, you\u2019ll not only have a smile that is uniformly white now, but you\u2019ll also be able to whiten your teeth later and still achieve the best possible result.<\/p>\n

Teeth Whitening in Kent<\/h2>\n

At Complete Dental Care, we offer take-home teeth whitening kits. We\u2019ll take impressions of your upper and lower arches of teeth in order to create custom fitted mouth trays. Then, once you get home, fill each tray with the professional-grade whitening gel that we provide and wear them for the suggested length of time. In just a matter of days, you\u2019ll see a smile that is several shades whiter!<\/p>\n
