color guide for matching shades
Shade guide
a study model that is a positive duplicate of the patient’s teeth
Model impression
holds whitening chemicals and shaped to fit the study model
Tray fabrication
shielding and protecting the gingivae from whitening chemical damage
Gingival isolation
whitening procedure
Tooth bleaching
acid solution is “painted” onto tooth surfaces
Acid brush
tray filled with gel or paste that is bitten into
Tray method
spreading of whitening gel onto tooth surfaces
Gel application
gel or liquid product is applied to the tooth surface, following the whitening process, to subdue any painful responses to the irritating lightening agents
Tooth desensitization
after tooth surfaces are roughened with a gel etch, a matching shade of composite material is applied to prepared teeth, smoothed and polished
Tooth bonding
tooth surfaces are covered with a porcelain material using one of two techniques:
Veneer or laminate application
similar to tooth bonding, but roughened teeth are covered with a white porcelain, rather than a composite material
Direct application
on a first visit, a small amount of enamel is removed from the teeth, and an impression is taken. The impression is used to make the new veneer cover, and during a second visit, this new covering is applied.
Indirect application
white composite material is used to replace an amalgam or gold filling
Cosmetic tooth restoration
prefabricated white restoration sealed “into” a cavity with cement
