Your Smile is SO BRIGHT; You have to Wear Shades!

Do you feel like your smile has darkened over the years?
Do you brush and floss daily and wonder why your healthy teeth no longer sparkle like they used to? You're not alone. According to the American Dental Association, a vast majority of patients request Professional teeth whitening to improve their smiles.
There are a number of factors that contribute to the darkening and yellowing of teeth. Aging tends to discolor teeth over time as the enamel thins and more of the yellowish dentin layer beneath shows through. Food and drink and tobacco can stain teeth over time, causing patches of discoloration particularly on front teeth. As a side effect, some medications can cause darkening and discoloration of your teeth. Additionally, trauma to your mouth and/or teeth can cause a thickening of the dentin layer, which creates a yellower appearance to the affected teeth.
What can you do to get your youthful smile back? The good news is that you have several safe and effective options for a Whiter Smile! In-Office Professional Teeth Whitening provides the most significant results in the shortest period of time. Often requiring only one visit for dramatic results, Dr. Tanya Brown and Dr. Matthew Cawley can utilize a more powerful whitening agent than take-home products, while still providing one of the safest forms of whitening available.
At The Center for Cosmetic & Restorative Dentistry, Dr. Tanya Brown and Dr. Matthew Cawley also offer Custom-Made Professional Teeth Whitening Trays with an easy-to-use whitening gel if you prefer to whiten in the convenience of your own home. This method is gradual and generally takes a few weeks for optimal results. Custom-Made Professional Teeth Whitening Trays are a safe and effective option for brightening your smile.
A third option for Whitening your smile is Take Home Semi-Custom Professional Teeth Whitening Trays. These semi-custom pre-filled Teeth Whitening trays are great for a touch-up to brighten your smile. These semi-custom Teeth Whitening trays are pre-filled with the same teeth whitening gel that is used with Custom-Made Professional Whitening Trays.
When used following Dr. Brown or Dr. Cawley’s instructions, all three methods are very safe and only a low percentage of patients will have a minor side effect of temporary tooth sensitivity.
