Teeth Whitening Procedures - In Office and At Home Explained by Ft Worth Dentist

You may be happy with the alignment and spacing of your teeth but years of coffee drinking, smoking or eating dark, juicy foods have left stains. Tooth whitening may be all that stands between you and a dazzling smile. Your cosmetic dentist will suggest one of several tooth-whitening techniques, depending on factors like your desired results, the time you can devote to the process and the cost of the procedure. In Office Teeth Whitening - Zoom! Advanced Power Zoom! whitening is a revolutionary new procedure that will give you brighter, whiter teeth in a single office visit. Zoom! whitening involves the application of a proprietary gel that, when exposed to a specialized light source, breaks down the stains on your teeth, leaving you with a beautiful smile. Most Zoom! whitening treatments take no more than an hour or so. In most dental offices you will be comforted with a warm blanket, relaxing eye mask, soothing music, and aromatherapy candle. You can also watch a movie if you so desire. At the end of whitening procedure, you will also be pampered by special formulated vitamin E enriched lip balm and a warm face towel to make your whitening experience a truly special one.

At Home You may choose to have your cosmetic dentist customize a home whitening treatment for you. Your dentist will mold a small tray for your mouth and prescribe a whitening gel that is placed into the tray and pressed into position around your teeth. Youll be instructed to wear the tray for several hours per day, or overnight, for up to four weeks. By the conclusion of your treatment, you will see a brighter, more youthful-looking smile.

For the ultimate teeth whitening experience, some dentists recommend the combination of Zoom Advanced Power whitening and at-home whitening. The Zoom Advanced Power whitening jump-starts the whitening program and the whitening is maintained by following up with the take home treatment. In this fashion, fading is eliminated and you can have sparkling white teeth for a lifetime. Consider plastic surgery to go hand in hand with your cosmetic dentistry procedure.

Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures to Help Your Smile

Your local cosmetic dentist is committed to answering your questions about proper hygiene and providing you with the most advanced dental services. You deserve the best care in cosmetic, restorative and general dentistry as well as the latest technological advances in dental equipment and techniques.

Cosmetic

Your smile is a sign of your happiness and confidence to people around you. If your smile is not what you wish it could be, your dentist wants to help you change your life through cosmetic dentistry. A more youthful, brighter-looking smile may only be a visit away.

Porcelain Veneers

Most smile makeovers you see on television are created using porcelain veneers. Porcelain veneers are thin strips of porcelain custom designed to fit on the front of your tooth. Veneers are made to resemble real teeth in size, shape and color and are bonded to misaligned, damaged or discolored teeth to improve their appearance. They can make a dramatic change in the appearance of your smile.

Tooth Whitening

Zoom! whitening is a revolutionary new procedure that will give you brighter, whiter teeth in a single office visit. Zoom! ™ whitening involves the application of a gel that, when exposed to a specialized light source, breaks down the stains on your teeth, leaving you with a beautiful smile. Most tooth whitening treatments can be maintained with monthly touch ups.

Porcelain Bridges

When teeth are missing, your smile undergoes significant changes. Missing teeth cause you to chew differently, may cause mouth and joint pain, and as your remaining teeth work to compensate for the loss, gaps and spaces form that only make the situation worse. A porcelain bridge, custom designed by Dr. Sexton, keeps your smile aligned and your bite functional. Bridges are anchored to existing teeth or crowns on either side of the missing tooth. They are cemented in place and are a long-term restorative solution to your damaged smile.

Porcelain Crowns

You can erase years of wear and tear with porcelain crowns. Sometimes called “caps,” porcelain crowns are customized for you, covering broken, cracked or discolored teeth. Crowns are a durable, strong, long lasting method of enhancing both the look and functionality of your smile. After some preparation of the tooth or teeth that will receive the crown,  your Michigan Dentist, will position a custom milled, lifelike porcelain crown over your damaged tooth, restoring and rejuvenating your oral health.

Tooth Colored Fillings

When the decay has been taken out of the tooth, it is replaced with “filling” material. In the past, amalgam (silver) fillings were placed into the cleaned out portion of the tooth. With advancements in dentistry, you can now have tooth-colored fillings instead of silver fillings. You may even elect to remove your old silver fillings in favor of new, undetectable tooth-colored fillings.

Bonding

Bonding is a tooth-colored material applied and adhered to the surface of the tooth, often without reducing the structure of the tooth. The bonding material is sculpted by your local dentist so that it resembles a natural tooth, correcting chips, broken, stained or discolored teeth and in some cases correcting gaps. It is less of an investment than veneers but doesn’t last as long and can stain over time.

Dental Procedures to Help Your Smile

You deserve the most modern dental care available. The field of dentistry is constantly experiencing change and improvement. New technology, materials, and methodology are continually being developed.

The appearance of your smile goes hand-in-hand with your oral health. Most cosmetic dental practices apply the newest treatments and technology to solve problems like crooked teeth, gaps in teeth, gummy smile, and tooth discoloration. If the look of your teeth has deteriorated due to injury, excessive wear, or bad habits, Restorative Dentistry can heal your smile.

Dental Implants use titanium “fixtures” placed in the bone and bonded (adhered) to replace missing teeth or to stabilize prosthetics (dentures). These are often used instead of bridges to help maintain the original tooth structure of the healthy teeth on either side of the missing tooth.

Porcelain Veneers are bonded to misaligned, damaged, or discolored teeth to improve their appearance. Veneers are custom-made by one of our technicians using a model of your teeth, and permanently affixed to the front of the tooth to enhance your smile.

You may want to consider tooth whitening as well.

What to do with Bad Breath

Millions of people struggle with halitosis, or bad breath, despite daily teeth brushing. Here is a checklist of procedures that can eliminate the problem: twice daily brushing, daily flossing and tongue cleaning; regular professional cleanings and careful cleaning of any dentures or removable dental appliances. However, if your hygiene is meticulous and the problem persists, there are several solutions.

First, your dentist can provide a plastic tool called a tongue scraper that cleans away bacterial build-up on your tongue and significantly alleviates odor. Or your dentist can recommend a specially prepared rinse or toothpaste designed to actually break the odor-causing sulfur bonds that cause bad breath. Finally, there might be a systemic or internal problem such as an infection or underlying condition, in which case you may want to visit with your family physician or specialist to identify the cause.
