2024.05.14 07:50 pearldental12 Teeth Whitening: How It Works, Types, and Side Effects:
Teeth whitening is a popular cosmetic dental procedure aimed at enhancing the appearance of teeth by removing stains and discoloration. Here's an overview of how it works, the different types available, and potential side effects:
How Teeth Whitening Works
Teeth whitening primarily involves the use of bleaching agents, usually hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide. These agents penetrate the enamel to reach the discolored molecules within the tooth. The bleaching agents break the bonds of the discolored molecules, resulting in a whiter appearance of the teeth.
Types of Teeth Whitening
- In-Office Whitening:
- Procedure: Performed by a dentist, this method involves applying a high-concentration bleaching agent directly to the teeth. Often, a special light or laser is used to accelerate the whitening process.
- Duration: Typically completed in one visit, lasting 30-90 minutes.
- Effectiveness: Provides immediate and dramatic results, with teeth often becoming several shades lighter.
- At-Home Whitening (Prescribed by Dentist):
- Procedure: Dentists provide custom-fitted trays and a lower-concentration bleaching gel for use at home. Patients typically wear the trays for a few hours a day or overnight for several weeks.
- Duration: Results usually appear within a few days to a couple of weeks.
- Effectiveness: Can achieve similar results to in-office treatments over a longer period.
- Over-the-Counter Whitening Products:
- Whitening Strips: Thin, flexible strips coated with a bleaching gel. Applied directly to the teeth and worn for a specified time.
- Whitening Toothpastes and Mouthwashes: Contain mild abrasives or low concentrations of bleaching agents to help remove surface stains.
- Whitening Pens and Gels: Applied directly to the teeth with a brush applicator.
- Natural Remedies:
- Baking Soda: A mild abrasive that can help remove surface stains.
- Hydrogen Peroxide Rinse: A diluted solution can be used as a mouthwash.
- Fruit Peels: Some people use banana or orange peels to rub on their teeth, though scientific evidence supporting effectiveness is limited.
Side Effects of Teeth Whitening
- Tooth Sensitivity:
- Cause: Whitening agents can penetrate the enamel and reach the dentin, causing temporary sensitivity.
- Management: Use of desensitizing toothpaste or reducing the frequency of whitening treatments.
- Gum Irritation:
- Cause: Contact with bleaching agents can irritate the gums.
- Management: Ensuring proper application to avoid contact with the gums, and using protective barriers during in-office treatments.
- Enamel Damage:
- Risk: Overuse or improper application of whitening products can weaken the enamel.
- Prevention: Follow the recommended usage guidelines and consult with a dentist before starting any whitening regimen.
- Uneven Whitening:
- Cause: Existing dental work (fillings, crowns, veneers) does not respond to bleaching agents, leading to color mismatch.
- Solution: Discuss options with a dentist to ensure a uniform appearance.
Considerations and Tips
- Consult with a Dentist: Before starting any whitening treatment, it’s important to consult with a dentist to ensure it’s appropriate for your dental health and to get personalized recommendations.
- Maintain Oral Hygiene: Good oral hygiene practices can help maintain the results of whitening treatments. Brushing twice a day, flossing, and regular dental check-ups are essential.
- Avoid Staining Foods and Drinks: Limiting consumption of coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco can help prolong the effects of whitening.
Teeth whitening can significantly enhance your smile’s appearance, but it’s important to choose the right method and be aware of potential side effects. Always seek professional advice to ensure safe and effective whitening.

I live in castle pines so actually would prefer a practice closer to me.
Looking for more of a cosmetic dentist as well. Prefer not a holistic doctor, I just don’t know much about them.
TIA!!
**edit: I’m asking Reddit bc I found my last dentist in Denver from good reviews and I didn’t have the best experience. Looked into the dentist having a lot of fake five star reviews and super good introductory deal.

2024.05.14 04:55 ker19928435 Had crowns placed instead of veneers
Prior to having ortho done with invsalign I spoke with the dentist about veneer vs dental bonding placement on my peg lateral incisiors which he agreed could be done and when the time comes we can rediscuss which would be the better option. Fast forward 4 months later after compelting invisalign treatment, we rediscussed about veneer vs bonding placement, which again he reassured me that he can do either one. He subequently had me speak to his office billeassistant which explained to me the difference between veneers and bonding (I also did my own research on both), after some time I opted to go with veneers as she reassured me "minimal" teeth filing would be done, she then ran the bill which displayed "crown/veneer" on the statement. I asked about this and she stated, "this is how it's billed but I will recieve veneers". The day comes to have the veneers placed or so I thought. The dentist comes in and starts the procedure, I hear some drilling going on which I knew had to be done as "minimal" filing is needed, again that's what I thought was going on... it turns out my peg laterals were filed tremendously! I was shocked, but thought, this is probably the required amount for veneers. He placed the temps on that only covered the front of the two peg laters but not the back, and he had me come back 3 weeks later. I arrived for placement of the "veneers" only to have the dentist file my teeth down even more during the procedure! At this point I was so disarrayed that I had no idea what to do?? The damage had been done already. Was I to tell him to stop? My teeth were already stumps. I was told throughout the whole time since getting invisalign that veneers or composite bonding is an option and NEVER once mentioned crowns! I was also extremely adamant against crowns, hence the dentist never brought up crowns to me. I now have crowns placed and feel absolutely demoralized. The dentist never informed me about placing crowns, or limitations that would prevent veneers from being placed; he just kept saying "yes, yes veneers". If I was informed about this I would have went with dental bonding instead.
On top of this, 3 members of his staff/dental assitants and the dentist himself knew I only wanted either veneers or dental bonding. During my invisalign treatment, the DAs would even ask me if "I'm excited for the veneers" or if I had gone with the veneer option over dental bonding, which I replied yes to the veneers.
Lastly, this wasn't some random dentist I went to. I searched around extensively to find a "reputable" dentist. From the Google search he had over 2,000+ reviews and 4.9/5 stars, and advertised "cosmetic smile makeovers", so I felt this was a sound decision, and opted to drive over 1 hour for every appointment to have treatment done by him. I have never felt such regret in my life until now.
Is there anything that I can do in this situation? I feel I was outright misled. From the beginning I made it clear I never wanted crowns hence, the discussion only bounced between veneers or bonding, and ended up with crowns... I honetly have no idea what to do..

2024.05.14 02:19 Farra_san Dental Procedure and MJ effect on triazolam
Hw 265, Sw 233, Cw 207. 2.5mg, weeks 5mg, 1 week so far
Background: I have been having dental procedures approximately every 4-6 months for a couple of years now. Due to anxiety and previous negative experiences, I need to be sedated to go through these procedures. My dentist prescribes halcion/triazolam for those purpose. I take three 0.125mg tablets 30min to 1 hour before the visit.
In previous visits, I typically took the medication about 30-45 minutes before. During these times, I remember getting to the office and getting home, where I would then sleep for a couple more hours.
This time was very different. I took the medication 1 hr before. I was mildly relaxed at the appointment, but still very aware. While getting numbed and waiting for that to kick in, I tried to lean into the relaxation.
This was not enough. As soon as I heard the drill, I panicked. I could not calm myself enough for them to continue. We had to stop for about 20 minutes while I worked myself out of an anxiety attack where I was shaking and crying.
They started giving me gas for a while, which helped somewhat. I was able o eventually grit my way through the worst of it and made it through the entire procedure, in a terrible state of anxiety.
Usually this medication takes around 4-5 hours total to wear off and get me back to normal.
This time, it didn't fully kick in, seemingly ever. For context I took the medication at 8am and slept most of the day after my 9am appointment. I was still feeling the effects at 11pm. It wasn't just feeling sleepy, I was uncomfortable. I'm not sure how to explain it. I felt very off for at least 24hrs after initially taking the medication.
Talk to your doctor and dentist.
Tldr: Beware, fast acting medications may not be fast acting anymore on Mounjaro.

I have severe dentist anxiety. Due to this, I haven't been to a dentist in around a decade. As you may imagine, my teeth are in really poor shape. I am looking for a compassionate dentist on the eastside who won't shame me for my current situation and help me address my dental issues - that I'm sure are many. If they offer sedation dentistry, even better. Thank you in advance.

2024.05.14 00:27 Gogpo2 Optimal Post-treatment Option?
Based on others' experiences I'm curious to know whether this is a sound approach upon finishing Invisalign? This is based on a conversation with a dentist friend + reading this sub and other sources.
At the end of the final aligner:
- Deep clean of mouth for hygiene and to clear plaque
- Whitening of teeth
- Edge composite bonding (that matches the post-whitening colour), in my specific case this would be for minor cosmetic adjustments to even out my teeth and improve symmetry, front six teeth. Yes this can become discoloured over time but professional polishing every year and careful ongoing care should largely mitigate this until potentially new composite is needed several years later.
- Have the permanent wire retainer fitted on back of teeth
- Have the nighttime clear aligner made and use at night indefinitely.
Any additional considerations or anything missing? Any advice would be appreciated.

In the pursuit of a radiant smile and optimal dental health, one solution stands out as a beacon of reliability and longevity: dental implants. At
Umbrella Aesthetics in Mysore premier
dental clinic in Mysore, we understand the transformative power of a complete, confident smile. Let's delve into the world of dental implants, exploring their benefits, procedure, and post-operative care, guided by our esteemed dental implant specialists.
Why Choose Dental Implants at Umbrella Aesthetics? When it comes to restoring your smile, trust matters. At
Umbrella Aesthetics, we are committed to providing top-standard dental care, including dental implants, in a welcoming and comfortable environment. Our team of experienced professionals ensures that every aspect of your implant journey is meticulously planned and executed to perfection. With cutting-edge technology and personalized care, we strive to exceed your expectations and help you regain the confidence to smile freely.
Understanding Dental Implants: A Lasting Solution Dental implants offer a permanent solution for missing teeth, restoring both functionality and aesthetics. Comprising titanium posts, implant crowns, and abutments, they mimic the structure of natural teeth with remarkable precision. Unlike traditional dentures or bridges, dental implants are firmly anchored to the jawbone, providing stability and durability that far surpasses other tooth replacement options.
The Dental Implant Procedure: Step by Step Replacing a missing tooth with a dental implant is a multi-step process that typically spans several months.
1. Primary Assessment and Preparation: Your journey begins with a comprehensive examination to assess your oral health and determine your eligibility for dental implants.
2. Implant Placement: The titanium implant screw is surgically placed into the jawbone, serving as a sturdy foundation for the prosthetic tooth.
3. Healing and Osseointegration: Over the next few months, the implant fuses with the surrounding bone through a process called osseointegration, ensuring a strong and stable bond.
4. Crown Placement: Finally, a custom-made crown is affixed to the abutment, completing the restoration and restoring the natural appearance and function of your smile.
Benefits of Dental Implants: Natural Look and Feel: Implant crowns blend seamlessly with your existing teeth, providing a lifelike appearance and restoring your confidence in your smile.
Improved Chewing Ability: With their superior strength and stability, dental implants allow you to enjoy your favorite foods without hesitation, enhancing your quality of life.
Longevity and Durability: Thanks to proper osseointegration, dental implants can last a lifetime with regular care and maintenance, making them a cost-effective investment in your oral health.
Preservation of Jawbone: By stimulating the surrounding bone, dental implants help prevent bone loss and preserve the integrity of your jawline, maintaining facial aesthetics and oral health.
Enhanced Speech: Unlike removable dentures, which may cause speech impediments, dental implants provide a natural and comfortable fit, allowing you to speak clearly and confidently.
Who Should Consider Dental Implants? Factors such as gum health, oral hygiene habits, and underlying medical conditions can influence candidacy for implant surgery. It's essential to consult with a qualified dental implant specialist to determine whether implants are the right option for you.
Post-Operative Care and Instructions: After implant placement, proper post-operative care is crucial to ensure a smooth recovery and successful outcome. Here are some essential tips to follow:
Avoid Disturbing the Surgical Site: Refrain from touching or probing the implant area to prevent complications and promote healing.
Follow Medication Instructions: Take prescribed medications as directed to manage pain and reduce the risk of infection.
Manage Swelling: Apply cold compresses to minimize swelling and discomfort in the days following surgery.
Maintain Oral Hygiene: Adopt a gentle oral care routine, avoiding vigorous rinsing or brushing near the surgical site.
Modify Diet: Stick to soft foods and avoid chewing directly on the implant site to prevent irritation or damage.
Avoid Harmful Habits: Steer clear of smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and other habits that can impede healing and compromise implant success.
At Umbrella Aesthetics, we believe that every smile deserves to shine brightly. With our comprehensive dental implant services and expert care, we're here to help you reclaim your confidence and enjoy a lifetime of healthy, beautiful smiles. If you're ready to explore the transformative benefits of dental implants, schedule a consultation with the

2024.05.13 08:21 beehiveman95 Is 28 too old for braces? And do I really need to have teeth extracted?
My family opposes me from getting braces, my teeth aren't terrible but canine are behind and lower teeth are rotated. Food gets stuck and sometimes it hurts a lot. I'm so fed up of it, I've been wanting braces for a decade now but never had the money for it
My family says my teeth aren't that bad and that I'd be losing healthy teeth for cosmetic reasons only, they say it's my choice in the end, it's not like they force me not to get it but it makes me confused on if it's a good or bad idea
To add to the confusion, I spoke to 2 dentists, one of them said yeah we might need to remove 4 teeth(2 from upper and 2 from lower jaw) due to crowding or we could file existing teeth to make room, but I don't think you need it if aesthetically your ok with how it looks
Another dentist told me "canines are cornerstones of beauty and you should definitely get braces"
Has it been worth it for you guys? How long did it take? If you got them at my age, would it take longer

2024.05.13 04:36 AncientKey1976 Beneath the Veneer: The Dark Side of Celebrity Porcelain Veneers Before and After Pictures
| Veneers: Celebrities' Secret Weapon or Dental Disaster In the world of Hollywood glitz and glamour, where every smile seems flawless and every face seems sculpted by angels, there's a dirty little secret hiding behind those pearly whites – porcelain veneers. From A-listers to reality TV stars, the allure of the perfect smile has led many down the path of cosmetic dentistry. But what's the real story behind those celebrity porcelain veneers before and after pictures? And is the joke really on them? This notable figure became part of the Hollywood porcelain veneer trend. Here are before-and-after pictures showcasing his celebrity porcelain veneers. On the left, you see his natural smile, exuding character, confidence, and youthful charm, with plenty of space in his mouth. On the right, after opting for porcelain veneers, his smile appears changed and artificial, significantly altering his facial appearance. This transition gives him a somewhat exaggerated look, with teeth that seem overly large and unnaturally white. It's disheartening because the dentist should have discouraged porcelain veneers, especially since this individual already had a flawless smile and teeth. A Silver Screen Solution: The Origins of Porcelain Veneer Porcelain veneers were originally created in the 1920s as a temporary solution for actresses in Hollywood, designed to enhance their smiles for the duration of film shoots. Crafted by Dr. Charles Pincus, these ultra-thin porcelain shells provided a quick fix for dental imperfections, ensuring that stars appeared flawless on-screen. However, despite their initial intent as a short-term cosmetic enhancement, porcelain veneers gained popularity among celebrities and eventually became a permanent fixture in cosmetic dentistry, transcending their original purpose and becoming accessible to a wider audience. The picture on the left features a famous actor admired for his genuine smile, which harmoniously suits his face and radiates charisma and personality. However, in the image on the right, following his decision to get porcelain veneers, his appearance seems altered, with his teeth appearing fake and the quality of the workmanship lacking. It's likely that he was bothered by a gap in his teeth, a minor issue that could have been easily fixed with non-invasive composite resin. Unfortunately, he may have been persuaded that more porcelain equals better results. Fortunately, given his age, he won't require replacements. Lights, Camera, Veneers: Why Celebrities Choose Perfection So why do celebrities get veneers? The answer is simple – to maintain their image. In an industry where appearances are everything, having a flawless smile can make or break a career. Whether it's for a red carpet event or a close-up on the big screen, celebrities are under constant pressure to look their best. And porcelain veneers offer a quick and easy solution to achieving that picture-perfect fake straight smile. In the picture, there's a star athlete displayed with their natural teeth on the left side and 6-8 porcelain veneers on the right. His natural teeth had a lot of character and a charming smile with a small gap. It's probable that he wasn't fond of the gap, which could have been easily corrected with a non-invasive composite resin. However, the allure of Hollywood convinced him that he needed all porcelain veneers, resulting in irreversible changes to his teeth. Eventually, these veneers will need to be replaced 2-3 times, which is regrettable. This reflects poorly on the dentist's judgment. But just how many celebrities have veneers? The truth is, more than you might think. From celebrities like Nicholas Cage, Morgan Freeman, Hiliary Duff, and 50 Cent to star athletes such as Dirk Nowitzki, Matthew Stafford, Rob Gronkowski, and Ben Simmons, it appears that veneers have become a popular trend embraced by individuals across Tinseltown. Just google "What celebrities have had veneers". And with the rise of social media, where every selfie is scrutinized and every flaw is magnified, the demand for porcelain veneers has never been higher. As evident from the left, this star retired athlete received 8 porcelain veneers, despite having a beautiful natural smile. Hollywood's insistence on a flawless smile often overlooks reality However, while porcelain veneers may promise a perfect smile, the reality is often far from it. In fact, some of the worst celebrity veneers before and after pictures serve as a cautionary tale of what can go wrong when cosmetic dentistry goes too far. From oversized teeth to unnaturally white smiles, these celebrity disasters are a stark reminder that more isn't always better. This young actress at the time desired an improvement in her smile. Unfortunately, the work carried out by her dentist was of very low quality, and they should feel embarrassed about it. The issue could have been easily resolved with composite bonding. This situation serves as a reminder that porcelain veneers may not be the ideal choice in every situation. Subsequently, the actress had to undergo a redo, which appears to be a common occurrence among celebrities. Beneath the Surface: The Hidden Risks of Porcelain Veneers But perhaps the biggest downside of why not to get porcelain veneers isn't what you see on the surface, but what lies beneath. The process of getting veneers often involves shaving down healthy tooth enamel to make room for the porcelain shells. And once that enamel is gone, it's gone for good. This means that while veneers may give you a perfect smile in the short term, they can wreak havoc on your oral health in the long run. To learn more about the porcelain veneer process prep you can check out our article "Your Ultimate Q&A Guide to the Top 10 Questions About Porcelain Veneers" Here's an instance of two star athletes who have porcelain veneers before and after photos, despite the potential for an unnatural appearance that may leave them dissatisfied. The allure of the \"Hollywood smile\" may have influenced their decision, yet the outcome may not align with their expectations or desires. Preserving Natural Beauty: The True Solution So what's the solution? In a world obsessed with perfection, it's easy to lose sight of what's really important – preserving the health and integrity of your natural teeth. Instead of hopping on the latest celebrity trend, let's focus on considering smile-enhancing treatments that conserve our natural tooth structure. More and more cosmetic dentists are focusing on non-invasive procedures, and their efforts deserve recognition. You can easily find them on social media platforms and Google, advocating for 100% non-invasive composite resin veneers. Be mindful of options like no-prep, near-prep, or minimally-prep porcelain veneers, as they are unlikely to be reversible. Take the initiative to thoroughly research and inquire about these alternatives. This is a real case scenario of 100% no prep direct composite veneers by Dr. Jordan Davis. Source: https://www.aretesmiledesign.comExamples like these, where cosmetic dentists advocate for non-invasive procedures, should be acknowledged for their departure from the norm and refusal to opt for porcelain veneers, which can harm teeth. Final Thoughts on Celebrity Porcelain Veneers Before and After Pictures Is the Joke on Them? In conclusion, even though celebrity porcelain veneers may seem like the ultimate status symbol, what is the answer to the question is the joke on them? It's not very likely, but there's definitely some truth to it. On the left, we see a star athlete exuding character with his natural smile and teeth. There's a warmth in his eyes that complements his genuine grin. However, on the right, after the application of porcelain veneers, his smile takes on a bulky, oversized appearance, altering his facial structure and causing a lack of space. Additionally, the veneers clip his lower lip, detracting from the natural look. It's disheartening that such a procedure was undertaken, as the patient will require 2-3 more replacements in their lifetime, resulting in damage to their teeth. Celebrities face immense pressure from marketing companies and social media to maintain an impeccable appearance. They often rely on the guidance of their managers, friends, and family, which leaves them uncertain about their decisions. While they do possess the ability to think for themselves, they are still influenced by immense external pressures, thus sharing a portion of the responsibility. Should we also hold dentists accountable? https://preview.redd.it/8s3svlfcv30d1.png?width=558&format=png&auto=webp&s=5e8a44fdf9b40cbf239c311d59446b98a7654b07 Cosmetic dentists are bound by the oath of "First, do no harm," and their primary concern should be preserving the natural teeth of their patients. However, some fail to adhere to this principle, opting for excessive porcelain application in pursuit of the perfect smile. This overlooks alternatives like 100% noninvasive composite veneers, which may require more time and effort but prioritize tooth preservation. Is social media or marketing to blame? https://preview.redd.it/qw6f1qrlv30d1.png?width=559&format=png&auto=webp&s=62381f6c05cabe8a6191a4edbb62a02a8c3b95c2 Veneer companies and social media platforms often perpetuate unrealistic beauty standards, leading celebrities to believe that porcelain veneers are the ultimate solution for a perfect smile. By promoting unattainable beauty standards and encouraging excessive cosmetic procedures, both veneer companies and social media platforms share responsibility for the detrimental effects on celebrities' smiles. So, what's the takeaway? While there may not be a clear-cut answer, it's important to empathize with these celebrities. Despite their seemingly flawless Hollywood smiles, many face regrettable situations, such as undergoing multiple veneer replacements. Therefore, when contemplating a smile enhancement, always keep in mind the importance of prioritizing the care of your natural teeth above all else. https://preview.redd.it/0f7knrhnv30d1.png?width=941&format=png&auto=webp&s=cc97800a6d68034046711cdd5136cf863bd3bde1 \Disclaimer: Any information that was included is based on its relevance and importance to the topic, not as part of any paid promotion or sponsorship.* PorcelainVeneers #FakePorcelainTeeth #AuthenticSmiles #CosmeticDentistry #NaturalTeeth #DentalEthics #OralHealthMatters #VeneerReality #SmileAuthenticity #FakePorcelainteeth #PorcelainVeneersLookFake #PorcelainVeneersRuinTeeth #beautybeyondveneers #porcelainveneersforteeth #alternativetoporcelainveneers#compositeveneers #composites #aestheticdentist #celebrityporcelainveneersbeforeandafter #CelebrityBeforeAfterVeneers #CelebrityTeethBeforeAfterVeneersPictures #CelebritiesWhoHaveHadVeneers submitted by AncientKey1976 to porcelainveneerstruth [link] [comments] |
