Some people, however, feel like they\u2019ll never be able to get that with just dental hygiene alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thankfully, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laketownfamilydental.com\/cosmetic-dentistry.html\">cosmetic dentistry<\/a> can give you the smile you\u2019ve been looking for. In fact, there are a multitude of things your dentist can do to give you whiter teeth. Teeth whitening and veneers are both cosmetic treatments that can give you results that you can be more than happy with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Often picking between the two of them comes down to personal preference. If you\u2019re wondering how to make that decision, here\u2019s a guide that may be able to help you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Teeth Whitening?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Teeth whitening is an incredibly simple cosmetic procedure, capable of being completed within just a single session. Your dentist will layer a bleaching solution onto your teeth, wait for a few minutes, and then wipe it off once it takes effect. They\u2019ll do this a few times until you get your perfect smile, up to eight shades whiter!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many dentists also offer take-home kits that can offer the same level of results after a few weeks of treatment from the comfort of your home!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are Veneers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Veneers are capable of giving you a smile that\u2019s not only shining white, but perfectly straight and symmetrical. Your dentist will remove a thin layer of your enamel and replace it with a small porcelain shell designed to look like a perfect tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which Should I Pick?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If all you\u2019re looking for is a whiter smile and you want it as conveniently as possible, teeth whitening can be hard to beat. Some people also like the shape of their natural teeth and wouldn\u2019t want to cover them up with veneers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By the same token, if you\u2019re interested in fixing a long-standing flaw with your teeth, veneers can afford you that opportunity while giving you a white smile. Whitening treatments also only last for a year or so before they fade completely\u2014veneers, on the other hand, can last for decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both teeth whitening and veneers can give you incredible results, so which you pick really depends upon what you want from your cosmetic treatment. Talk to your dentist, and they\u2019ll be able to help you decide which treatment is best for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About Our Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At Lakewood Dental, we aim to offer our patients incredible dental care in an environment that\u2019s sure to make them feel completely comfortable Husband-and-wife dentists Drs.
