Teeth Whitening at Your Lone Tree Dentist

Friday, September 30th, 2011

Lone Tree fast teeth whitening Teeth whitening is one of the easiest ways to improve your smile in Lone Tree. It is quick, affordable, and non-invasive. Though some Lone Tree cosmetic dentistry patients experience short-term sensitivity, most experience no tooth whitening pain at all.

If you have looked into Lone Tree teeth whitening, you probably already know the basics. The one thing they have in common is that they use a solution containing peroxide to remove the stains that have settled in the natural microscopic cracks in your tooth enamel.

There are many DIY teeth bleaching products available in Lone Tree and it seems like new ones appear every time you visit the toothpaste aisle at your local grocery or drug store.

These over-the-counter tooth whitening strips and tooth whitening pens can sometimes whiten your teeth a few shades, but the peroxide concentration is much lower than the whitening solutions used in Lone Tree cosmetic dentistry offices. It may not be strong enough for your tooth stains.

Tooth whitening offered at Lone Tree mall kiosks is risky, also. Most of these teeth whitening businesses have no professional oversight and the employees have little dental training. (Except instruction on how to take advantage of customer naivety.)

Drs. Almeida & Bell recommend that you use extreme caution when considering a take-home Lone Tree tooth whitener. If you have tooth decay, gum recession, crowns, or dental veneers, you should deal with these issues before you whiten your teeth.

The portion of your teeth below the gumline, if exposed, may respond differently to tooth whitener. Likewise, the peroxide solution does not noticeably whiten dental crowns and veneers. If you use a DIY tooth whitener on teeth with extensive porcelain restorations, you should probably hope it doesn’t whiten too much–you may end up with a two- or three-tone smile!

Even though Lone Tree teeth whitening seems fairly straightforward, your teeth deserve a professional opinion. After all, we are talking about teeth here. You can’t fix an uneven teeth whitening result like you can a bad hair-coloring job.

Schedule a Lone Tree tooth bleaching evaluation before you waste your money on more Crest White Strips. We can be reached at (303) 858-9000.

Which Tooth Whitener Works Best in Lone Tree?

Wednesday, August 25th, 2010

Dazzling White Teeth in Lone Tree What is the best professional tooth whitening system to use in Lone Tree?

There are two main types of dentist-supervised tooth whitening systems available in the Denver area. In order to determine the best choice for your teeth, schedule, and budget, you need to understand the differences in the systems.

Both systems use a bleaching agent containing peroxide. Lone Tree dentists who offer professional in-office tooth whitening use a whitening gel with a high concentration of peroxide. Some in-office tooth whitening systems use a light that causes the tooth bleaching agent to work faster. When the light is shined at the teeth where the whitening gel is applied, it causes the peroxide to break down into free radicals, which are active oxygen molecules. This process naturally occurs without the light, but the light makes it happen faster. That is why you can get whiter teeth in just one hour.

Most cosmetic dentists also offer take home tooth whitening systems. Although these procedures take a bit longer to work, they achieve the same dramatic results. For many clients in the Centennial, Highlands Ranch, and Lone Tree area, this is the most affordable teeth whitening system.

At Almeida & Bell Aesthetic Dental Center, we offer safe and effective teeth whitening. Our cosmetic dentistry patients can’t believe how great their teeth look when they remove the stains and restore the brightness. If you would like to learn why our system is superior, schedule a consultation by calling our office at (303) 858-9000.

Love Your Smile in Denver

Wednesday, August 4th, 2010

Love Your Smile in Lone Tree There is nothing like bright white teeth that light up a person’s whole face when they smile and laugh. No one has to settle for dull, yellow teeth.

This is a great time for Denver men, women and teens to get a deep teeth cleaning and tooth whitening at Almeida & Bell Aesthetic Dental Center in Lone Tree. With a deep cleaning followed by teeth whitening, your teeth will feel as good as they look.

If you have an important upcoming event such as a Highlands Ranch wedding, Littleton party or formal family portrait sitting, a smile makeover will give you extra confidence as you pose for photos (even close-ups).

Teeth whitening can whiten teeth beyond their natural shade. At our Lone Tree cosmetic dentistry practice, we don’t use a conventional shade chart for our whitening clients anymore. You have probably seen the porcelain tabs in graduated shades that tooth whitening dentists use to determine appropriate, yet natural looking, shades for tooth restorations. We now use a shade guide with levels significantly whiter than the guides we have used in the past. Tooth whitening is not a gimmick; it is safe and incredibly effective. Denver tooth whitening clients can maintain a white shade that equals the brightness of the ‘tooth’ models you see in dental marketing.

Tooth whitening following twice-yearly cleanings is the most affordable cosmetic dentistry procedure. Tooth whitening in Lone Tree is comparable to the cost of a professional hair weaving and cut, but when you consider the transformation; there is no comparison! Flash your gorgeous, sparkling smile, and no one will even notice your hair.

Professional Teeth Whitening at Almeida & Bell Aesthetic Dental Center

Thursday, June 24th, 2010

Professional Teeth Whitening at Almeida & Bell Aesthetic Dental Center A brilliant smile leaves a lasting impression. Professional whitening of teeth can dramatically improve your overall appearance and give you a boost in self-confidence.

Our teeth often turn yellow or gray as we age. The things we eat and drink continually such as colored sodas, coffee and red wine contribute to the staining. Most of us are aware that smoking is not only bad for your lungs; it is an enemy to beautiful teeth. If you are considering having your teeth whitened, you must first decide which method to use. At Almeida & Bell Aesthetic Dental Center, we enjoy discussing treatment options with our clients. To schedule a consultation to talk about teeth whitening or any other dental procedure, call (303) 858-9000.

At-home whitening treatments usually consist of trays filled with whitening solution. It takes 7-14 days to achieve 3-6 shades lighter. Brush-on teeth gels and whitening strips take up to 30 days to achieve barely noticeable results. Whitening toothpaste may lighten superficial stains but often provides no change in appearance of teeth.

Professional teeth whitening procedures performed by a dental professional achieve dramatic results that last far longer than other treatments.

All of the whitening methods may cause tooth pain or sensitivity, but this usually goes away in a few days. If you have crowns, porcelain veneers or bonding, it is important to talk to your dentist before choosing a whitening method.

We do smile makeovers!

Lone Tree Whiter Smiles

Friday, April 2nd, 2010

Lone Tree Pediatric Dentistry Wishing for a Lone Tree whiter smile but not sure how to get it? New to CO smile tooth whitening lingo? At Almeida & Bell Cosmetic Dentistry, we educate clients on the variety of Denver affordable teeth whiting treatments; from whitening trays to Highlands Ranch teeth bleaching to Littleton opalescence whitening. We do Centennial smile whitening every day.

Almost every toothpaste claims to whiten teeth, but as we age our teeth gradually turn yellow or gray, despite all the whitening toothpastes we use regularly. Tooth enamel, while one of the hardest substances in the body, is porous. Over time, the food and drinks that come in contact with our teeth cause staining and discoloration. You probably have already discovered that a toothbrush cannot clean these microscopic pores.

Carbamide peroxide and hydrogen peroxide are the two main smile whitening ingredients. They can penetrate the outer layer of your teeth to remove the build-up, and help restore whitening to teeth. Call Almeida & Bell Cosmetic Dentistry at (303) 858-9000 to schedule an appointment and we will explain the difference between these tooth bleaching ingredients and how they may affect your Lone Tree smile whitening results.

Denver at-home teeth whitening products are probably not a good choice if you have crowns or veneers. You could end up with extremely uneven results or possible damage to your existing CO cosmetic dentistry.

We know the best Lone Tree teeth bleaching options and can recommend the perfect white smile solution for you.

At Almeida & Bell Cosmetic Dentistry, we hope to see you soon. Give us a call at (303) 858-9000.
