Now that 2017 has arrived, how are your resolutions coming along? Many people choose to focus on their health in the New Year, while others may have personal or professional goals they’d like to achieve. Did you know that your teeth could actually help you achieve better health and meet your career goals? Optimum oral health contributes to your overall health and well being, while a beautiful, healthy smile gives you confidence. At Parker Dental & Orthodontics we can help you achieve your goals. Your cosmetic dentist at University Boulevard discusses your options for a dazzling smile.
Teeth Whitening
One of the quickest ways to make an impact on your smile is teeth whitening at University Boulevard. We offer customized and convenient whitening trays that you can use at home to whiten your teeth based on your own schedule. We’ll start by creating trays for you based on impressions we take of your teeth. Then we’ll teach you how to safely apply the whitening gel to your trays. After about two weeks initially, you’ll be off to a whiter brighter smile in no time!
Invisalign
Patients who live with crooked teeth will be glad to know there are options for straightening their teeth with discretion. Invisalign uses virtually invisible clear plastic aligners to straighten your teeth rather than traditional metal brackets and wires.
Aligners should be worn 22 hours per day for optimum results, but they can easily be removed for brushing and eating. This means you won’t have the diet restrictions and home care changes you would with traditional braces. Most Invisalign cases can be completed in 12-18 months.
Porcelain Veneers
Veneers are a great choice for repairing one or two teeth, or completely changing the appearance of your entire smile. Best described as thin shells of porcelain that fit over your tooth, a dental veneer is customized to repair issues such as:
- Discoloration and staining
- Fractures and chipping
- Wear
- Misshapen teeth
- Gap and spacing
Veneers are durable, easy to take care of, and stain resistant, which means that they won’t discolor at the rate of your natural tooth. You’ll be able to brush and floss them normally, and with excellent home care, veneers can potentially last for 10-15 years.
