My teeth are always yellow even after i brush it everyday
The outer-most layer of your teeth actually contains small pores that can stain over time. Coffee is a classic substance that can stain the enamel of your teeth. Using a whitening toothpaste daily can help some but if you really want to blast away stains, ask your dentist about a whitening procedure they can recommend. This can be a single appointment using a powerful whitening agent (not found in stores) along with a special light that activates the whitening agent. This single-visit teeth whitening service usually takes about an hour and can whiten your teeth 7, 8, or even 9 shades whiter. If that's not your thing, your dentist can usually provide you with a more powerful home-whitening kit than what you can get in the store. READ MORE
How long does it take to get a crown?
Usually, a crown can be a two-appointment ordeal. This would be one appointment for a temporary crown to be placed just so you're not left with having to deal with a damaged tooth. During this same appointment, you'll likely have an impression of the tooth or prepped surface taken that can get sent out to a lab. While you're wearing your temporary crown, the lab will work on a permanent and naturaly looking crown that will be placed on a second visit. IF you have the ability to look for an office with a CEREC machine, this will allow an office to digitally scan the area AND make the permanent crown out of porcelain via a special CNC milling machine. In this case, you can have everything done in a single visit. READ MORE
What are my options to fix crooked teeth?
Depending on the severity, there are several solutions that may be perfect for you. Veneers are a great way to quickly fix minor issues regarding crooked teeth. Modern braces and Invisalign also do amazing work on fixing crooked teeth but usually takes a period of time for them to gradually shift teeth into that beautiful smile you're looking for. As with all dental procedures, the best thing to do is to make an appointment to have an exam done. This way, you'll know exactly what your options are and roughly how long it may take as well as a full breakdown of costs. There's no harm in getting an opinion so make an appointment and see what your options are :-) READ MORE
