These pieces are bonded to the damaged area of the tooth. An inlay, which is similar to a <a href=\"https:\/\/signaturedentalbayarea.com\/treatments\/fillings-restorations\/\">filling<\/a>, is used inside the cusp tips of the tooth. An onlay is a more substantial reconstruction, similar to the inlay but extending out over one or more of the cusps of the tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Traditionally, gold has been the material of choice for inlays and onlays.

To ensure proper fit and bite, an impression of the tooth is made by the dentist, and sent to a lab for fabrication. The dentist will then apply a temporary sealant on the tooth and schedule the next appointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the second appointment, the temporary sealant is removed. <a href=\"https:\/\/signaturedentalbayarea.com\/meet-us\/meet-dr-duarte\/\">Dr. Duarte<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/signaturedentalbayarea.com\/meet-us\/dr-lesley-fox\/\">Dr. Fox<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/signaturedentalbayarea.com\/meet-us\/meet-dr-cardenas\/\">Dr. Cardenas<\/a> will then make sure that the inlay or onlay fits correctly.

As an alternative, inlays and onlays, which are bonded directly onto the tooth using special high-strength resins, can actually increase the strength of a tooth by up to 75 percent. As a result, they can last from 10 to 30 years.

You can lighten only your upper teeth or both the upper and lower, depending on how much you show when you talk and smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In only a day or two your custom bleach splints will be ready for you to pick up. We provide you with a special bleaching agent that you put into the clear splints. With only a few hours of wear per day, our special bleaching agent bubbles stains right out of your enamel in a very short time without altering tooth structure or existing dental work in any way. When your teeth reach the desired brightness, only occasional treatment is needed to maintain your new smile. We\u2019ll want to take \u201cafter\u201d photos at your next appointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental bleaching can be used to correct tooth discoloration. Discolorations can be caused by staining, aging, or chemical damage to teeth. Using the latest in bleaching technology, we can offer a safe method for creating a beautiful \u201cbrilliant\u201d smile. In cases of extreme tooth discoloration, crowns or veneers may be the only choice, but because of the low cost of bleaching treatments, bleaching is nearly always worth a solid try.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kadence-column1091_0ed2d2-6e > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column1091_0ed2d2-6e > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column1091_0ed2d2-6e > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column1091_0ed2d2-6e > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column1091_0ed2d2-6e > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column1091_0ed2d2-6e > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column1091_0ed2d2-6e{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column1091_0ed2d2-6e > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column1091_0ed2d2-6e > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column1091_0ed2d2-6e\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How is teeth whitening done?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>An impression is taken to make a specialized \u201cmouthguard\u201d or \u201cstent\u201d to hold the bleach against the teeth.

The most common include aging and consumption of staining substances such as coffee, tea or tobacco. During tooth formation consumption of tetracycline, certain antibiotics or excessive fluoride may also cause tooth discoloration.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who may benefit from tooth whitening?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Just about anyone can benefit from tooth whitening.<\/strong> However, treatment may not be as effective for some as it is for others. With an oral exam, <a href=\"https:\/\/signaturedentalbayarea.com\/meet-us\/meet-dr-duarte\/\">Dr. Duarte<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/signaturedentalbayarea.com\/meet-us\/dr-lesley-fox\/\">Dr. Fox<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/signaturedentalbayarea.com\/meet-us\/meet-dr-cardenas\/\">Dr. Cardenas<\/a> can determine if you are a candidate for this procedure, including a shade assessment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is tooth whitening becoming more popular?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Absolutely! A bright, beautiful smile can make a big difference. The Zoom! Whitening System makes it easier and faster than ever before.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is tooth whitening safe?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, research and clinical studies indicate that whitening teeth under the supervision of a dentist is safe.<strong> In fact, many dentists consider whitening the safest cosmetic dental procedure available.<\/strong> As with any tooth whitening product, Zoom! is not recommended for children under 13 years of age and pregnant or lactating women.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do the results last a long time?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>By following some simple post whitening care instructions, your teeth will always be lighter than they were before. We recommend flossing, brushing twice daily with Zoom! Whitening Toothpaste, and touch-ups with <strong>Zoom! take-home gel.<\/strong> These are professional formula products designed specifically to keep your teeth their brightest. They are available through our office.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is there any difference between over-the-counter tooth whiteners and Zoom!<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes!

In-Office System work?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>The Zoom! light-activated whitening gel\u2019s active ingredient is Hydrogen Peroxide. As Hydrogen Peroxide is broken down, oxygen enters the enamel and dentin, bleaching any colored substance while keeping the structure of the tooth unchanged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Zoom! light aids in activating the Hydrogen Peroxide and helps it penetrate the surface of the tooth.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kadence-column1091_b2e612-d7 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column1091_b2e612-d7 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column1091_b2e612-d7 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column1091_b2e612-d7 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column1091_b2e612-d7 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column1091_b2e612-d7 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column1091_b2e612-d7{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column1091_b2e612-d7 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column1091_b2e612-d7 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column1091_b2e612-d7\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is the Zoom!
