Eliminate Tough Dental Stains With Teeth Whitening

Tuesday, March 27th, 2012

If you could change one thing about your smile, would it be to have whiter, brighter dazzling teeth? If that is your wish, a consultation about tooth whitening with our dental provider could be your answer. 

In-office whitening offers superior results as compared to the products made available across the counter.

 

In-office whitening offers superior results as compared to the products made available across the counter. The corner drug store offers kits, pastes, gels, and mouthwashes but none of them can give you the results you can achieve with Zoom! in-office whitening in about an hour.

 

We are besieged with information on late night TV and the internet that promise a whiter, brighter smile. But if you read the small print you will see that the process can take days, weeks or longer to see a minor improvement.

 

But Zoom! patients can walk into the office and leave a short time later with a “wow” smile up to eight shades brighter. How can your cosmetic dentist make that difference for you?

 

Dental providers have access to the finest whitening products available on the market today. These products contain the strongest whitening agents allowed and are only available through your dentist.

 

Your cosmetic dentist will assess your overall dental health to make sure you are a good candidate for Zoom! in-office teeth whitening. Since sensitivity can be an issue, your dentist might recommend using a tooth paste that offers sensitivity protection for a couple weeks prior to your whitening procedure.

 

At your whitening appointment, your dentist will prepare you for the process by protecting the surrounding gum and soft tissue areas.

 

A curing light or laser will be employed to enhance the process. Two, sometimes three, applications of the whitening agent are applied in 15 minute increments and allowed to work to whiten your teeth.

 

Prior to your procedure, your cosmetic dentist will advise you of any restoration work needed before embarking on your new smile. Since dental crowns and porcelain repairs do not respond to any whitening procedures, it is important that any dental work needed be considered before moving forward with teeth whitening.

 

Zoom! in-office teeth whitening can eliminate tough dental stains resulting from diet, medications, and lifestyle habits. Contact the office of Dr. Philip R. Kozlow, serving Dallas, to learn more about your options.

 

 



Tooth whitening: What are the benefits?

Friday, October 28th, 2011

Millions of Americans are enjoying tooth whitening as the safest and fastest way to pep up their smiles. A conservative cosmetic measure, tooth whitening is subtle enough for modest patients and dramatic enough for the Hollywood elite. Patients who have chosen tooth whitening in Dallas have seen impressive results with few, if any risks.

 

Easily, the most noticeable benefit of tooth whitening is bright, white teeth! Patients whose teeth are stained or discolored due to diet, medications, or natural shading will appreciate the possibility of a radiant and vivid new smile. Tooth whitening is an effective choice for patients who desire a generally whiter smile, as well as those patients who would like to whiten prior to a special event.

 

The natural response for patients following tooth whitening is a marked boost in self-confidence. It may be difficult to measure the exact degree of the improvement in self-confidence, but it is easy to understand the relationship. Feeling more positive about one’s smile is certainly a reason to smile more often.

 

Compared to other, more invasive cosmetic treatments, tooth whitening is a relatively conservative choice. Utilizing various formulations of hydrogen or carbamide peroxide, oxygen is incorporated into the enamel, bleaching out stains below the surface. No pitting or roughening of the enamel occurs, and the integrity of the tooth structure is preserved. Professional tooth whitening techniques are designed to protect the gum tissue, which may occasionally become sensitive when exposed to the tooth whitening solutions.

 

Dr. Philip R. Kozlow, your cosmetic dentist serving Dallas, may recommend tooth whitening as a nice complement to other cosmetic dental procedures. For instance, following the completion of orthodontic treatment, tooth whitening can be used to safely brighten a newly straightened smile. Patients who are replacing old amalgam or tooth colored fillings near the front of the mouth may choose to whiten prior to having the restorations replaced.

 

The benefits of tooth whitening are numerous, and dental patients are choosing whitening to suit a variety of needs. To find out how tooth whitening can improve your smile, schedule an appointment  with Dr. Kozlow today.
