Question Hi, besides bleaching and zoom light what are the other options to get teeth movie star white? i have heard of enamel painting
Also i have short teeth and several are cracked or naturally mishaped can dental bonding make them a bit longer and reshape them to make them more square? can bonding make them whiter
Answer Hello Earl,
If you are unhappy with the esthetics of your teeth, a dentist may be able to lengthen and shape them better so that they more esthetically pleasing. This depends, however, on your bite. The bonding material comes in bright white as well, so this would be a good option for you.
Another good option would be veneers. These are like bonding, but made out of porcelain and require only minimal shaving of the front surface of your front teeth. However, they can be quite costly.
The bleaching and zoom bleaching are great ways to achieve whiter teeth, but if you are a large coffee or tea drinker, or a smoker, your results may not be as good as if you did not have such habits.
Speak with your dentist, and determine which course is right for you.
Hope this helps. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
