Tooth Whitening Leads in Cosmetic Dentistry

2008-02-25T08:34:00.000-08:00

After years of grinding, chomping, and chewing, your once-pearly whites may have seen better days. The gloss of lustrous white enamel has faded, exposing the natural yellow layer beneath. Add to that a lifetime's worth of pigments from coffee, tea, red wine, and soda that have gotten lodged in tiny cracks in your teeth. The result: that unattractive yellowish-brown tint that's made tooth whitening one of the most popular cosmetic dental procedures in the United States. Nearly all cosmetic dentists offer whitening treatments and the number of procedures they perform has jumped about 50 percent each year since 2005, according to the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. More people are also turning to cosmetic enhancements beyond whitening, such as bonding and veneers, which can improve both the function and appearance of crooked, chipped, or worn-down teeth...

What's best way to get high-wattage grin?

2007-04-06T11:18:00.000-07:00

Cortadito in the morning. Cabernet at night. A Diet Coke here and there.

Whatever the tasty poison, your smile isn't looking up to snuff these days.

Safe to say you're not without options. Spin your cart down the dental-health aisle. The shelves are practically sagging with at-home whitening gels, pastes, washes, flosses, even herbs. Apparently, worries over tartar and plaque - the buzzwords of the last few years - have gone the way of silver fillings...

X-rays, root canals, and now, pampering

2006-05-08T17:10:00.000-07:00

At her dental appointments, Deann Romanick sips green tea and takes in the scent of lavender and the sounds of new-age music. She gets a free paraffin hand wax treatment, blankets, a warm neck pad and video eyeglasses in which she can watch "Seinfeld" episodes while the dentist works on her teeth.

The pampering eased her through a root canal and a tooth replacement, and now, with her fear of dental work gone, she has moved on to more elective procedures...

Veneers make your grin gleam!

A new technology touted as contact lenses for teeth is paving the way for straighter whiter teeth without all the time and pain of old fashioned orthodontics, says Dr. Greg Tharp... After almost 24 years in the field of cosmetic dentistry, Tharp says he is constantly searching for new innovations for his patients

What spurred his interest in Lumineers — thin porcelain shields bonded to the front of teeth — was trying to find a whitening solution for 16-year-old Blaire Bishoff of Florence, who struggled with the appearance of her gray-stained, but otherwise healthy, teeth.

Instant Orthodontics

2005-04-16T05:24:00.000-07:00

Instant Orthodontics: A smile makeover is sometimes referred to as instant orthodontics, but in fact a smile makeover can achieve much more than orthodontics. While orthodontia can reposition your existing teeth over 18-24 months with the use of braces it cannot change the color, size or shape of your existing teeth.

This is where a smile makeover has a distinct advantage. With porcelain veneers you can change the color, size, shape and positioning of your teeth and create a whole new smile. Not to mention the fact that it can be done in as little as two weeks!

Also many patients had orthodontics in their teenage years and as adults what is most often required is not more orthodontia, but perfect porcelain veneers to give you a complete smile makeover.

The Amazing Cerec

2005-03-20T14:08:00.000-08:00

The smile is one of our greatest personal assets. We can now help you maintain and improve your smile - more conveniently than ever before! A new instrument called CEREC 3D allows us to offer natural-looking, high- quality ceramic "fillings" or restorations, completed and placed in a single office visit. We provide the following information to help you better understand the instrument and its use.

What is CEREC 3D?

.......CEREC is an acronym for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. Translated, it means that we can quickly and economically restore damaged teeth using a durable ceramic material that matches the natural color of other teeth in your mouth.

How does CEREC 3D work?

.......First, we prepare the damaged tooth by painting a thin layer of reflective powder directly on the tooth's surface. Using a special camera, we then take a picture of the tooth. We work from this photo, which is actually a pin-sharp optical impression of the tooth.

.......Computer Aided Design technology helps us design the restoration from the optical impression. You can actually watch us design your new restoration on a full-color computer monitor right before your eyes!

Dentists — with spas

How about a foot massage with that root canal? Or a soothing paraffin wax hand treatment with your new porcelain veneer?

Sounds strange, but the seemingly polar-opposite worlds of dental offices and day spas are colliding, much to the delight of phobic patients everywhere.

Massages — along with manicures, facials, herbal masks, sunless tanning and other services — are available at Spadent, one of a new breed of dental office with day-spa touches that seeks to ease patients' anxiety...

...a growing number of dentists are borrowing the luxuries typically found in day spas to create a relaxing, more inviting dental experience for their patients. In some cases, they're actually combining the two concepts to create a new type of business known as a "dental spa..."

Career success starts with million-dollar smile

2005-03-01T16:44:00.000-08:00

You may have heard the catchphrase "a million dollar smile," but did you know that your smile might actually help you land your dream job or snag a coveted promotion?

Nearly 74 percent of adults believe an unattractive smile can hurt a person's chances of career success, according to the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. But that doesn't mean you need to spend a million dollars to enhance your teeth and your smile.

The experts say the best smiles are a result of good overall oral hygiene, not fancy whitening treatments. "People are missing the concept of keeping their gums healthy," said Dr. Harold Katz, a dentist to the stars in Los Angeles and founder of the California Breath Clinics. "Most whiteners leave one thing out and that's cleaning in-between your teeth. That's why flossing is so important." ...

Smile! How to Whiten your Teeth...

2005-02-28T03:47:00.000-08:00

Wish your smile were brighter? You’re not the only one. Demand for teeth-whitening products has increased by more than 300 percent over the last five years, and the number of over-the-counter treatments on the market is growing steadily.

“Teeth darken with age,” says Mike Malone, D.D.S., president of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. “Over the years the enamel thins to reveal the naturally yellow dentin, the underlying tooth structure.” The color of your teeth is partly determined by genetics, but food, coffee, tea, wine or smoking can also cause staining...
