All Brite Cosmetic Teeth Whitening!

Are you looking for a simple way to get that perfect white smile? But are you afraid of dental surgery?  Tooth whitening or bleaching is a non-invasive dental treatment used to change the color of your natural tooth enamel.  The most popular method would be home tooth whitening systems such as strips and gels that work over a period of time to gradually whiten your teeth.  

One of the most effect and efficient ways would be to visit a dental specialist and make an appointment.  The procedure usually requires two visits, the first to make impressions or molds of your teeth into clear plastic trays used for the bleaching process.  These trays will be worn either twice a day for 30 minutes or overnight for a couple of weeks depending on the level of staining and the desired level of whitening.  It is important to remember that this procedure only works on natural tooth enamel so you may need replacements or restorations on any old crowns, fillings etc. 

One side effect of the procedure could be temporary sensitivity of the teeth, which will subside quickly after the bleaching has commenced.  

All Brite Dental offers these services at a reasonable affordable price to all patients seeking the benefits of tooth whitening.  Make an appointment today and get that beautiful white smile you've dreamed about for so long!

According to many dentists, the majority of their patients that are not satisfied with the appearance of their smile say that they are unhappy with the natural color of their teeth.  With all the modern advancements in modern technology, importantly photo and video it is becoming more important to preserve the presentation of our smile.  Discolored teeth are usually associated with being unhealthy of unhygienic, which is not necessarily true.  Nevertheless the dental industry is seeing substantial increases in the demand for teeth whitening procedures.  There are certain illnesses that can cause discoloration in teeth but some common causes are coffee, tea, curry, red wine and Coca Cola.  There are countless teeth whitening products available over the counter, but according to research some of these products are just a waste of money.  

Most toothpastes that market “teeth whitening” have no effect at all, also avoid purchasing teeth whitening systems and gels online, as there is no certain way to determine what is in them.  The safest way is to ask your dentist before using any of these treatments.  Many dentists are recommending bleaching trays, which are custom fit by a dentist.  This give the dentist the opportunity to educate the patient on how to correctly and safely use the tray and allows the patient to raise any concerns and ask questions.  Another option that dentists often recommend is laser whitening.  A specialist performs this procedure and the effects are instant.  This is a good option if you are looking to whiten your teeth for a specific event or occasion. 

Whichever method of teeth whitening you choose, be sure to consult your dentist or a trained professional before making your decision.  Also keep your expectations reasonable, some of these procedure take time and repetition before seeing drastic results.

Dental Tips To Make You Look Younger!

Our teeth keep the structure of our entire face.  If our teeth become shorter, lean in or stop supporting the lower face nasolabial lines form, lip corners droop and soon our cheekbones start to sag leaving a tired aged appearance. Esthetic dentistry is a practical way to improve a patient’s smile, which in turn will enhance the appearance of the entire face; it is like a non-surgical face-lift.  

With multiple procedures such as applying bonds, crowns or veneers the dentist can shape each tooth and restore the face to its ideal proportions.  When the teeth are lengthened it immediately makes the patient look younger, and building out the back teeth produces the cheekbone effect, which restores the facial contours.  Blood flow to this area is activated which tightens the surrounding muscles creating a younger firmer look.  Proportion and symmetry are key! 

Rounded teeth can create a more feminine look, while straight edges create a masculine look. Esthetic dentistry can be a quick painless and affordable alternative to surgery to improve your face and smile.  These days everyone is looking for a great smile and a younger look to improve their confidence.
