IS YOUR SMILE READY?

It’s been a long year since this pandemic started. But there is light at the end of the tunnel! We all look forward to seeing our loved ones and friends with hugs and kisses without these masks! Let’s be ready with our smiles, bright and cheery!

The smile is most likely to be the first thing someone else notices about us. Now is the time to take care of our oral health and smile appearance. Start with the all important exam and cleaning, whether you need just a preventative routine cleaning or a more extensive treatment due to some level of gum disease. This would be assessed by your dentist and hygienist working together. Removing plaque and tartar removes stain. These cleaning brighten and whiten your teeth! If the gums are irritated or diseased these procedures also improve, not only gum and total body health, but also the appearance of your gums, and therefore, your smile. The gums should be a lighter pink, not red, purple or puffy. Also your breath will be fresher!

At this point, if no work is needed, consider whitening and brightening your smile. We have several options to fit your lifestyle and budget. A professional whitening will be more effective and safer than over the counter or internet products. Ours will be at a more effective strength of solution that brightens to a greater number of shades and faster. Your treatment will be safely monitored by an experienced professional. We have in office laser assisted whitening that speeds up the results. Also available are take home strips, again at a greater strength and efficacy than OTC products.

Broken teeth can be repaired sometimes with tooth colored bonded fillings, veneers, or for more extensive problems, with crowns (caps). In certain conditions, we can straighten the alignment, the size of the teeth, and the color with crowns or possibly with veneers. Stained fillings can be a sign of cavities, along with the negative esthetics they present. For this we treat with new fillings. Healthy gums and plaque free teeth are a must for the best results and longevity of the new restorations. So we start with the foundation of our mouth…the gums. Cosmetic dentistry procedures may need time for planning, design, lab fabrication, and shade satisfaction.

So think about treating yourself to an improved smile, both esthetically and health-wise.

The masks are going to be coming off. We all want to be ready for that moment with a beautiful smile.

So hurry! We suggest getting started as soon as possible to create that attractive smile just in time for that mask unveiling!

Hope to “see” you all… and I mean “all of you” as in no mask required – Soon! Smile on!!
