CROWNS
• Whitening of teeth is not always going to be a simple solution. Not all the visible teeth may be healthy or
in the same state. For example some may only have extrinsic stains while others may have deep rooted
discolouration. In this scenario it may be necessary to veneer or crown some teeth to make all the teeth
match into a perfect smile. Crowns are expensive but much cheaper than implants so are still a very
viable way to whiten and brighten your smile. The problem is that crowns are very invasive in so much at
it requires in addition to expense a lot of inconvenience and dental work. However the end result is far
more gratifying and will last for ten or more years. In addition having crown fitted allows the dentist to
reimaging the natural layout of your smile. For example they can after taking a mould of your jaw make
significant changes to the angles and position of the crowns to straighten and correct any squint or
misaligned teeth. Crowns therefore may be the most expensive – other than implants – but one of the
most effective methods of whitening your teeth and getting that celebrity smile.
