Veneers are tooth-colored shells that fit over teeth to help change their size, shape and/or color. They are used to correct teeth that are wearing, chipping, crooked or gapped. They can be made out of a porcelain-like material or composite plastic-like material.

Tooth-colored bondings can be done the same day and restore the natural color of your teeth.

Busby and Willoughby Dental has several ways to help brighten your smile. It all depends on how bright you want your smile to be and how much time you want it to take. It is also essential that your teeth and gums are healthy enough to make whitening safe and effective.

We have several options to help you have a brighter, whiter smile. Find out more about our options below.

• ZOOM In-Office Whitening: ZOOM is an in-office whitening system that works quickly and is highly effective. It generally takes a one-hour appointment. You will leave with whiter and brighter teeth! ZOOM can also be a great way to kick-start whitening. We often recommend starting with ZOOM and maintaining with Go Trays (see Opalescence Go trays section).

• Whitening Opalescence Go Trays: These are prefilled whitening trays with professional strength solutions. It is a one size fits all tray. They are easy to use, cost-effective and come in packs of ten trays. You can purchase these professional-grade whitening trays at our office, take them home and use them at your convenience. Whitening trays are a great way to start whitening and maintaining white teeth for all the special occasions in your life.

• Custom Whitening Trays: This method is excellent for improving the color and brightness of teeth. They are more powerful and effective than over-the-counter whitening strips. Patients who want the appearance of their teeth to improve by more than a few shades of color and brightness should use whitening trays. Custom whitening trays generally take one to two short appointments. First, impressions are made for your custom trays. Then you’ll pick up your custom trays and whitening material from our office to assure they fit correctly. Then whiten and enjoy your bright smile!

• OTC (Over-the-Counter) Whitening: Whitening options you can purchase online or over the counter are getting better. This can be a great way to start the whitening process, but be careful as it’s hard to know the quality of the product you’re purchasing. Whitening can also permanently damage your teeth if they are not healthy enough for the process.
