Bleaching and simple aesthetic dentistry
Bleaching procedures are becoming more popular with patients than ever before. Many patients request further aesthetic dentistry after undergoing whitening treatments. These aesthetic treatments range from replacements of stained composite restorations, replacing an old mismatched crown, or remaking an existing bridge in an aesthetic zone. Before embarking on any form of aesthetic or restorative dentistry, bleaching treatments should be discussed with the patient. Normally bleaching treatments should be undertaken first, followed by the rest of the treatment.
Why bleaching and tooth whitening?
When a patient requests changes to the appearance of their teeth, dentists need to understand whether the patient wishes just to change the colour, or whether the patient is unhappy with the form, shape or contour or position of the teeth. A more thorough dental consultation should be undertaken for a patient who is interested in whitening their teeth as whitening is the beginning of the treatment plan and then further aesthetic treatment can be undertaken. Often the patient may say that they are aware that the colour is yellow, but that they are happy with the shape of the teeth. Bleaching treatments are simple to undertake, and a discussion about which type of bleaching the patient would like to undertake can follow.
