Veneers are very thin pieces of durable, tooth shaped porcelain that are custom made (for shape and color) by a professional dental laboratory. They are bonded onto the front of teeth to create a beautiful and attractive smile. Veneers can completely reshape your teeth and smile.
Teeth whitening (or bleaching) is a simple, non-invasive dental treatment used to change the color of natural tooth enamel and is an ideal way to enhance the beauty of your smile. We offer multiple wonderful methods to accomplish just this.
Following a detailed consultation, Dr. Munkel will explain the recommended procedures for your full mouth reconstruction. Using photographs, he will show you the potential impact of the procedures and work with you to determine a personalized plan made just for you. Each plan may be a combination of whitening, veneers, implants, orthodontics and more. Dr. Munkel will evaluate the shape of your teeth along with your bite and facial structure to create a harmonious balance between all entities.
Our in office treatment takes approximately 90 mins to complete. Gums and soft tissue are protected, and professional strength gel is applied to your teeth. Following your treatment, teeth will continue to whiten for up to 48 hours. You will need to avoid anything with staining properties for this time.
If you prefer to whiten your teeth more gradually in the privacy of your own home, then we also have the custom at home system. We will give you a set of custom fitted trays and the home whitening gel. Fill the trays and wear the application for 30 minutes to an hour every day for two weeks. The home treatment is equally as effective as the in-office and the results are just as dramatic. To maintain your desired shade the custom home system can be used at your leisure.
Alternatively, we offer Go Trays. These pre-filled disposable trays come in kits of 3 or 10 sets and can be used to refresh your desired shade.
