Dark and translucent teeth
Whether it's discolouration, old veneers, or translucent edges, we have a conservative solution — starting with whitening before any cosmetic treatment.
Teeth whitening
Teeth whitening has been used in dentistry since the start of the 1990s. It is a safe technique, efficient in most cases and, when compared with other cosmetic procedures, it is the cheapest and most conservative. If desired, whitening must always be done prior to any other cosmetic treatment.

BeforeIn this case, the patient's only cosmetic concern was the colour of her teeth, and she wished them to be lighter. Teeth whitening was done, and the desired result was achieved.
BeforePatient desired lighter teeth and wanted to alter the edges and angles of her teeth. Whitening was executed with stunning results, followed by composite edge bonding.
Veneers on dark teeth
Usually after trauma and/or root canal treatment, teeth tend to darken over time. In these cases, it is necessary to drill a little of the enamel, as thicker composite is needed to mask the discolouration.

BeforePatient with a very dark, root-treated central incisor wanted to improve her smile as conservatively as possible. A small amount of drilling was necessary, and the right lateral incisor also needed a slight wear at its edge as it was longer than surrounding teeth. She opted for four composite veneers on the incisors.
BeforePatient with a dark, root-treated central incisor wanted a solution for this tooth only, as he was already happy with the rest of his teeth. Aware of the challenge of treating a single tooth, he opted for a composite veneer.
BeforePatient had two dark incisors on the right-hand side with prior cosmetic treatment, and a large gap between the front teeth. She opted for two composite veneers and composite bonding on the left incisor to reduce the gap.
Changing old veneers
No restorative cosmetic material — be it porcelain or composite — lasts forever. At some point, for some reason, it must be redone to renew the smile's aesthetic.

BeforePatient had composite veneers done many years ago on the lateral incisors and the right central incisor, and opted to continue with the same material. The veneers were removed and remade with fresh composite.
BeforePatient with agenesis of the lateral incisors had two porcelain veneers done many years ago over the canines standing in place of the laterals. The left veneer had fractured — both were removed and 8 new composite veneers were done, improving the proportions of his teeth.
Translucent teeth
Some people have translucent teeth, which gives them a grey shade. This can cause discomfort due to the change in the smile's aesthetic.
