Are there alternatives to laser whitening of enamel?
Yes. Some patients, especially those with severely stained teeth, may want to consider porcelain veneers or porcelain crowns. With these methods, we are not trying to restore whiteness in natural enamel, but instead covering enamel with porcelain material, which is highly resistant to future staining. These options may work well for patients who cannot achieve desired results from laser tooth whitening. However, these alternatives are also more costly.
