Dallas, TX Cosmetic Dentist Discusses Professional Teeth Whitening

by

 

Has your smile lost the brilliance it once had? Have you tried over-the-counter tooth whitening products and seen disappointing results, if any at all? If you are tired of stained or yellow teeth, our Dallas, TX teeth whitening dentist office is where this can all change.

There are many over the counter tooth whitening systems on the market today, but none are as effective or provide the same level of whitening as the professional products. Tooth whitening is the simplest and least expensive way to enhance your smile and restore a youthful appearance.

Why Your Teeth Are Stained or Discolored

Teeth can naturally be less than white or may be stained and discolored due to:

  • Age
  • Genetics
  • Illness
  • Certain medications (such as antibiotics)

Most common reasons for discoloration are due to:

  • Tobacco use
  • Coffee
  • Tea
  • Soft drinks
  • Wine

How Zoom! Teeth Whitening Helps

Tooth whitening is one of the safest dental procedures available. The Zoom! whitening system is a state of the art, in-office procedure. It is a safe, easy, and effective bleaching process that lightens the discoloration of your enamel and dentin.

We offer this system as well as other professional home whitening products. We perform the whitening procedure while you sit back in our comfortable chair, and relax while you listen to your favorite music.

Contact your Dallas, TX teeth whitening dentist for a complimentary consultation to evaluate your whitening goals and needs. We take the time to ensure that you will leave with the beautiful vibrant smile you are looking for.

Dallas, TX Teeth Whitening Dentist Explains How to Keep Your Smile Bright

by

 

A teeth whitening treatment performed at our Dallas, TX Teeth Whitening Dentist office can really give your smile a boost for any special event. It's an easy way to brighten up your smile and enhance and lighten the color of your teeth. We offer options to help whiten discolored teeth, but it’s always helpful to be aware of factors that impact the whiteness of your smile.
 
The Aging Process
 
Our teeth naturally become worn and somewhat discolored as we age. Dental enamel will become slightly pitted and worn over time no matter how much care you take with your oral hygiene.
 
This fact causes our teeth to become more prone to discoloration as stains can more easily penetrate porous surface enamel. Contributing to the yellow appearance of the teeth is the fact that as enamel wears away dentin within the tooth begins to show through.
 
Ineffective Dental Hygiene
 
By not maintaining proper oral hygiene, you may be compromising the bright color of your teeth. Lack of effective at-home oral hygiene will always result in yellowing of the teeth and lead to other major dental problems as well. Regular trips to the dentist for exams and cleanings are the best way to be sure your oral hygiene is up to par.
 
Genetics
 
There is little that can be done to change our inherent physical make up, and it's a fact that certain people have teeth with a yellowish hue. This is simply a result of the fact that the outer layer of dental enamel has a more translucent quality, causing the dentin beneath to seem more obvious.
 
Stain-Producing Foods
 
Some foods and other consumables contribute to the discoloration of dental enamel, such as red wine, tobacco products, dark fruit juices or sodas (like cola). It is not necessary or even recommended that you cut out all these foods completely. But you will have a better chance of maintaining a healthy white smile if you remember to brush or at least rinse your mouth after ingesting these products.
 
Great first impressions are created with a beautiful white smile. Greeting the world with a fresh, bright smile can also boost your self confidence. Our Dallas, TX Teeth Whitening Dentist provides several teeth whitening options that bring back the beauty of your teeth and give you a smile that you can be proud of.

Dallas, TX Teeth Whitening Dentist Shares Zoom and Boost Teeth Whitening Information

by

No wonder teeth whitening is the number one cosmetic dentistry treatment requested today! Teeth whitening has the ability to dramatically change the appearance of your smile in just one office visit. Teeth whitening is also an affordable cosmetic treatment that delivers great results at a relatively low cost.

Convenient Teeth Whitening Options

For your convenience, the Dallas, TX Teeth Whitening Dentist offers both in-office whitening treatments as well as take-home kits. In-office treatments deliver faster, more dramatic results, whitening your teeth by up to six shades in one session.

These treatments can be supplemented with a take-home kit provided by our office. Or you may choose a take-home whitening kit simply because you would like to whiten your teeth at your own pace in the privacy of your home.

For professional in-office whitening treatments, we use both Zoom and Boost. Both systems are quick and affordable, producing remarkable results in just one hour. The advantage of Zoom and Boost treatments done in our office is that we use a whitening gel with a higher concentration of hydrogen peroxide than over-the-counter products, providing more dramatic results.

Professional Teeth Whitening at our Office

The in-office treatment for whitening with either Zoom or Boost is basically the same:

  • A professional dental cleaning prior to whitening is recommended for the best results. This clears away food debris and plaque buildup between teeth to maximize results.
  • A handheld shade guide is used to help us identify the shade you’re looking for
  • Our dentist places protective gel is placed along the gum line to protect sensitive gum tissue
  • Whitening gel is then carefully applied to the front surfaces of your teeth and cured with a special light
  • Whitening trays are not needed since the gel is applied directly to your teeth by your dentist

Whitening in the Privacy of Your Home

We also provide a take-home kit so you can maintain the whitening effect at home. The kit includes a custom-made tray to hold the whitening gel. A tray made at our Dallas, TX Teeth Whitening Dentist Office is far more effective than those you purchase at the drugstore because we make the tray based on impressions we take of your teeth. This allows the whitening gel to come into full contact with all surfaces of your teeth, allowing for more effective whitening.

Contact our office for more information or to schedule an appointment for a whitening treatment. We will be happy to show you how we can help make your smile sparkle!
