Questions for your Cheshire Dentist?
At Cheshire Dental Associates, we welcome your questions and are pleased to provide you with answers. We consider education to be an important part of every appointment because we've noticed that patients who are informed about their dental health are patients who practice better self-care and have better results.
We've collected some of the most common questions we get here for you to look through. If your question isn't answered here or if you'd like more information, don't hesitate to give us a call at (203) 272-2729 or email us using the convenient form on our Contact page.
Teeth Whitening
Whitening products are everywhere these days, and many people are drawn to their low price tag and
promises of dazzling white teeth. The problem is, most of these products don't deliver on those promises. Whitening toothpastes can be effective on minor surface stains when they are used exactly as directed, but they also frequently contain harsh abrasives that can harm your enamel, scratch restorations, and cause tooth sensitivity. It's impossible to achieve the results of professional whitening with a whitening toothpaste or rinse.
Pro Teeth Whitening vs. Over The Counter Products
The over-the-counter kits have a number of flaws that we, as dental professionals, find concerning. Because they are designed to be one size fits all, they usually wind up being one size fits none! Do you know anyone with the exact same smile as you? When you whiten professionally, you are under the care of skilled professionals who can address your unique needs and answer any questions that come up. We'll customize your treatment by choosing the method that is right for you. Additionally, we can start off your whitening with a thorough cleaning to remove any traces of plaque and tartar that could mar your results.
Professional cleaning products have a higher concentration of the whitening ingredient, so you can get real results much faster. They also frequently include additional ingredients to help with any sensitivity. This means that you can whiten your teeth comfortably and safely.
Call Our Cheshire Dental Office Today
If you're interested in learning more about teeth whitening, please give our Cheshire dental office a call today!
We offer several different options that can improve the aesthetics of your smile. Which type is right for you
will depend on the specific issue that you want to fix. For example:
We Offer A Wide Variety Of Cosmetic Dentistry Options
- Veneers are a good choice for fixing whitening-resistant discoloration, chips, poorly shaped teeth, gapped teeth, and even some alignment issues.
- Bonding can fix many of the same issues as veneers and can often be completed in a single session.
- Dental Crowns can fix an incredible range of both cosmetic and structural dental issues. Today's crowns are made from materials like porcelain, which are typically indistinguishable from natural tooth enamel. Plus, at Cheshire Dental Associates, we can create custom crowns right here in our office so that you can often go home with your crown the very same day.
- Teeth whitening is excellent for "brushing up" a yellowed or discolored smile. Patients are often amazed at the difference that a single teeth whitening treatment can achieve.
