Tooth discoloration is a change in the colour, transparency and hue of teeth.

There are 2 types of tooth discoloration:

• Dentist-prescribed at-home whitening: It consists of gels and strips with a mouth tray. It is a low concentration peroxide of the office version and is applied for 1 hour or throughout the night. It is used for extrinsic discolourations.

Gum contouring is elimination of gum tissue which is in excess so that a proper proportion of gum to teeth visibility is restored to create an aesthetic smile.

Gum contouring or gum reshaping, is a cosmetic procedure to improve the smile of the patient who has the problem of “Gummy Smile”. The gums are overgrown and cover major part of tooth make it look small.

Gingival contouring is a minor dental clinic procedure lasting for about an hour under local anaesthesia. A soft tissue laser is used to trim the excess gum so that there is minimal bleeding and no stitches.

Veneers are cemented on the frontal portion of the teeth to give them a neat cosmetic appearance. They are wafer thin and are carefully designed to match the patient's teeth colour. This treatment is done to impart a sparkling white smile by adding veneers of porcelain or resin on chipped or stained teeth to create uniformity and provide aesthetic appearance to the smile.

You are a good candidate for veneers if you have:

• Severely discoloured teeth
• Teeth whitening not possible
• Worn-out or crooked teeth
• Too much gap between the teeth.
• Broken or chipped teeth
• Fillings which look unattractive

Dental veneers are done in two sittings. In the first visit, selection of the right shade of tooth colour is done. Under local anaesthesia, the tooth is prepared to accommodate a veneer. This is done with a rotary cutting instrument.

Composite Veneers: Here the dentist applies the composite resign and a light application apparatus follows. The composite veneers are then finished and surfaces are polished.

Porcelain veneers: Here the dentist takes an impression of the teeth. The impression is then sent to a laboratory for fabrication of the veneer.

CAD/CAM Veneers: It is an integration of the Impression system, 3D design software and a chair-side mill to provide the dentist with veneers instantly in one go.

The recovery is quick after the chair time. The results are visible immediately giving you a very pleasing smile. The maintenance is quite easy with regular cleaning with non-abrasive tooth paste. Undue stress on the teeth should not be applied since the risk of chipping is there with porcelain veneers. With proper maintenance it is highly durable.

• Chipped , broken or cracked teeth
• Closing diastemas between teeth
