How We Can Help Improve Your Discolored Teeth

If your teeth are discolored or stained, you may be reluctant to smile or even talk. Hiding your teeth is impractical and difficult, especially when you have options for renewing your smile. At The Dental Practice of Lincoln Park, Dr. Allen Momongan and his staff use their professional skills to help their patients in the Lincoln Park area of Chicago achieve a smile you'll be proud to show off. Here's how:

Whitening

Brightening your faded smile with a whitening treatment is by far the most popular cosmetic dental procedure worldwide. It's a simple, affordable, and noticeable procedure that can make your teeth eight to ten shades whiter than before. Application of the whitening solution can be done at your Lincoln Park dentist's office, or you can have trays made for you to wear at home. These treatments combined with whitening toothpastes and other products can help maintain your new smile for many months, even years to come.

Veneers

If you're a fan of celebrity news, you may have noticed your favorite Hollywood actors looking a little different than they did a decade or two ago. One of the ways that the rich and famous update their look is with dental veneers, which are thin pieces of porcelain that a dentist affixes to the front of the teeth. Each veneer is custom made to be perfectly shaped and colored, which is great for people who have more than one cosmetic dental issue that they want to address. These amazing restorations aren't just for celebrities, though - we offer them at The Dental Practice of Lincoln Park as well! For a total makeover of your smile, ask Dr. Allen Momongan about veneers.

Bonding

Occasionally after a whitening treatment, you'll notice that one or two of your teeth didn't "take" the bleach and still looks gray or yellow. This can be due to past dental work (which will not respond to whitening treatments) or damage that has permanently discolored the soft tissue inside the tooth. In these cases, your Lincoln Park dentist may craft a single veneer or apply a bonding material to match the tooth with the rest of your new smile. Bonding is a soft, pliable material that hardens after being sculpted onto your tooth. It's a great way to fix minor cosmetic dental issues.
