Visit Our Cosmetic Dentist Office This Summer for a Beautiful Smile

What can a cosmetic dentist do to make your summer better than last year? Well, we can start by making it the most memorable summer ever by helping to improve the quality of your smile and giving you an added boost of confidence. Summer is a fun and happy time for people all around the world. In the summer, we shed our winter garb for things that are less drab and full of color.

Swimsuits replace coats, and bonfires on the beach take the place of fireplaces in the living room. People are generally happier than they are in any other season. In addition to this more than 88% of all Americans will pack up their bags and head out of town for a family vacation. Whether visiting relatives or going to paths unknown there will be literally millions of Americans on the road this season. For many people, all of this socializing and fun comes with a price. If you are one of the millions of Americans who suffers from a lack of confidence because of your teeth, a cosmetic dentist can help. The last thing we want is for you to go through the entire summer worried about your malocclusion, misaligned teeth, or stained teeth. Instead, we want you to have the brightest smile possible as you share your selfies on the beach with friends on Instagram.

Yellow and stained teeth are a common problem that we solve in our cosmetic dentist office. When you are smiling for those photographs the last thing you want to see is stained, yellowing teeth that take away from your infectious smile. We have a number of ways to help you deal with this problem. In our world, teeth whitening is one of those tools that we use every day because everyone loves to have flawlessly white teeth to go with their perfectly straight smile. In fact, teeth whitening has become so common that many people will get a do it yourself kit and try it at home. However, the best results come when you visit our cosmetic dentist office – mostly because we are trained and understand the science behind it. Teeth whitening is a chemical process. Most people do not realize that natural light is actually white. When the light is reflected off an object, the object reflects it at a certain angle. The brain, in turn, interprets this reflection of light as a color. The same is true for your teeth.

Since we, as your cosmetic dentist, wants your teeth to reflect as white, we want your teeth to be as translucent as possible. Light is already white, so the more translucent your teeth, the whiter they will look. To achieve this, we use a peroxide base solution that releases free radicals in your tooth. These free radicals make a tiny change to the chemical composition of the tooth itself, and this makes them appear to be whiter. In cases where we cannot get the tooth to become whiter using this traditional means, we can use porcelain veneers to give you a permanently whiter smile.
