 ver
time, teeth change in appearance. A once beautiful smile can become dull
and show signs of aging. Even with good oral hygiene your smile can be
quite affected by the lifestyle you lead. Drinking coffee, tea and red
wine, smoking and some medical treatments with antibiotics, can cause
your teeth to discolor. This discoloration creates a smile that is far
from what it once was.
"A great smile instills confidence."
Your smile is a major part of your appearance - it reflects much of who
you are and how you feel. A great smile instills confidence and can change
how people will respond to you.
At one time a discolored smile was something we just had to live with
- but not any more. With the recent development of laser tooth bleaching
procedures, we can now enjoy the benefits of whiter, brighter smiles!
"What is white?"
When it comes to teeth there is a range of natural shades of white that
is different with every patient. This is why we often use the term brightening
when we discuss bleaching of teeth.
Bleaching will make your teeth whiter than they currently are which can
make a significant change in how white and bright your smile looks.
In reality our goal is not to make your teeth "appliance white,"
which would look totally unnatural, but rather we are working to make
your teeth look naturally white and brighter.
"You need healthy teeth."
The first step when considering bleaching is to have your teeth cleaned
to remove plaque that would reduce the effectiveness of the bleaching
process. It is also important that your gums are healthy before you start
any bleaching program.
With good oral hygiene habits which includes daily brushing, regular visits
to your hygienist and periodic home touch up applications, your whitened
teeth can last for years.
Smoking, heavy coffee consumption and eating stain producing foods can
affect how long the whitening will last.
"It's quick and effective."
On a national average, eighty-five percent of patients have seen a noticeable
change in how much lighter their teeth appear and are happy with the results.
You have the option of going with a Home Bleaching
program, or our in office Laser Bleaching program
which produces dramatic results in just one visit.
Both procedures are safe, the results noticeable and the patients have
been thrilled with the results.
