Teeth whitening, or bleaching, is a chemical process used to make teeth whiter. Discolouration in enamel can be caused by medication, coffee, tea, soda, cigarettes, genetics, or age. Bleaching can be done at home or in the office, using a custom mouthpiece to apply the whitening solution. The treatment usually takes two to four weeks to complete, with effects lasting up to a year.
Bonding is a tooth-coloured filling material used to close gaps and alter tooth colour and shape. It lasts 5-10 years but may be more susceptible to staining or chipping than other restorations. Ceramic crowns, also called caps, are placed over natural teeth to enhance aesthetics and strengthen weakened tooth structure. Porcelain veneers are thin pieces of porcelain bonded over the front teeth to improve appearance and correct issues like uneven spacing, chipping, or discolouration.
