Yes, dental implants can absolutely support bridges, and this combination is often the ideal solution for replacing multiple adjacent missing teeth. Instead of placing one implant for each missing tooth, we can place two or more implants that support a bridge spanning the gap between them. At Picasso Dental Clinic locations in Hanoi, Da Nang, and Ho Chi Minh City, I frequently use implant-supported bridges to replace three, four, or even more consecutive missing teeth. This approach costs less than individual implants for each tooth, requires fewer surgical sites, and delivers the same stability and function as multiple separate implants. The implants fuse to your jawbone, providing rock-solid anchors for the bridge, which means no slipping, no adhesives, and the ability to eat and speak normally with complete confidence

Professional laser teeth whitening, often called Zoom whitening or similar light activated systems, delivers dramatic results in a single appointment, typically lightening teeth three to eight shades in about 60 to 90 minutes. At Picasso Dental Clinic in Da Nang, we use advanced whitening technology with LED light activation to accelerate the peroxide chemistry that breaks down stains. The treatment works beautifully on yellow and brown stains from coffee, tea, wine, aging, and smoking. Most patients experience mild temporary sensitivity for 24 to 48 hours that's easily managed with over the counter pain relievers. The results last six months to two years depending on your diet and habits, making it an excellent investment for a brighter, more confident smile

Laser whitening works extremely well on yellow and brown stains from aging, coffee, tea, wine, and smoking, which are the most common types of tooth discoloration. However, it doesn't work on gray stains from certain medications like tetracycline, or on discoloration from excessive fluoride exposure. At Picasso Dental Clinic locations in Hanoi, Da Nang, and Ho Chi Minh City, I evaluate stain type carefully before recommending whitening because the chemical process targets specific organic molecules. Yellow organic stains respond beautifully, achieving three to eight shades lighter. Gray inorganic stains resist treatment completely and may require veneers instead. Understanding your specific stain type prevents wasting money on treatment that won't work for your situation

If you grind or clench your teeth at night, a nightguard is absolutely essential with veneers. Without one, you'll likely crack or chip your veneers within a few years, sometimes within months. I've treated patients at our Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City clinics who destroyed beautiful veneer work in under a year from unprotected grinding. The nightguard doesn't weaken your bite or feel bulky once you adjust. It's a simple investment that can extend your veneers from 10 years to 20 plus years
