Whiter Teeth

Do you want a whiter smile? You're not alone. Many of our patients are looking for a way to get a whiter, brighter smile. There are several causes of a dull, unflattering smile. Maybe you've had discoloration since you were a child that has worsened over the years. Perhaps you have older crowns that are showing a black line at the gums. Maybe your failing silver fillings on back teeth are making your teeth appear dull and gray. Or maybe you simply feel your smile is yellowing due to coffee or tea. Whatever your concerns, we can help you find a solution for the white smile you've always wanted.

BriteSmile

In just one appointment, you can achieve a brighter, whiter smile with the BriteSmile tooth whitening treatment. Our in-office service offers instant results and many of our clients get as much as 8 shades whiter - in just one appointment!  The BriteSmile whitening treatment has been offered for years, with outstanding results. A patented blue light and proprietary whitening gel are clinically proven to whiten your teeth in just over an hour.  Get more details about the treatment from www.BriteSmileWhitening.com, or call our office to schedule a free consultation to determine the best way to whiten your smile.

At-Home Whitening

Many of our clients like the low cost and easy use of a Take Home Whitening Kit.  This is a set of custom-made plastic bleaching trays that fit comfortably in your mouth.  Use a prescription strength whitening gel once a day for one to four hours and follow this routine for 2 weeks to achieve maximum results.  What’s more, you can continue to use these trays and gel once a month to maintain your ideal whiteness.  Or, in preparation for a special occasion, use the gel again for about a week to give yourself a real boost in whiteness.  Two 15-minute appointments is all it takes, so call now to reserve a time and get started towards a whiter smile this week.

Maintenance Products

Many clients benefit from the use of simple at-home maintenance products to prevent new surface stains from forming on their teeth.  BriteSmile Whitening Toothpaste is a non-abrasive fluoride toothpaste that tastes great for daily use.  The BriteSmile Mouthwash is refreshing and clear with no alcohol for a quick way to rinse away what could be causing new stains on your teeth.  BriteSmile To Go is a set of whitening pens that release a clear, taste-less gel.  To Go gel is applied directly to your teeth and dries instantly.  There’s no need for trays or strips so it’s convenient to use anywhere.  Talk normally and go about your normal routine, just don’t eat or drink for one hour.  Or, if you have whitening trays for use at home but you just don’t remember to use them regularly, you might like having us do the whitening for you at each of your dental cleaning appointments.  Bring in your bleaching trays to your next dental cleaning and for just $25 you’ll walk out of the office with a high-powered whitening gel that you just wear for 30 minutes.  That’s it and you’ll get about 1 shade whiter with no real effort on your part.  Feel free to call our office for more details on the whitening products and services available.

Veneers

If you have dark spots or very white spots on your teeth that won’t seem to go away with standard whitening, veneers may be the answer for you.  Permanently alter the color of the teeth in your smile with porcelain veneers.  If you want to whiten discolorations that you‘ve lived with for years, make an appointment to consult with Dr. Nemec about the best treatment option for you.  Changes can be made to your smile in a matter of a few weeks and the benefits of a more beautiful smile will last a lifetime.

Polishing

Do you have white spots or dark bands on your teeth that you've lived with for years? Often these discolorations can be repaired with a combination of BriteSmile in-office whitening and tooth polishing. Polishing takes just minutes per tooth and is an inexpensive option for removing white spots or evening stains. Often polishing is ideal for cases where the patient is happy with the shape of their smile and the teeth are healthy. In these cases, a simple polish can remove surface discoloration without the need for bonding or veneers. Of course, if you want to change the shape of your smile, this might not be the best treatment. If you have discoloration you're concerned about, we can discuss the benefits of polishing.

Replace Old Crowns

Are you embarrassed about a dark black line at the gums where your existing crowns are discoloring? This is a common problem if you have porcelain crowns that were made with metal underneath. Sometimes the gums don't like this metal and they can pull away from the crown, creating a small gap between the crown and the gumline. Over time, this tiny gap can discolor to a dark blackish brown that you may not like. This is a problem that can occur on the front teeth or on back molars. Luckily, the fix is simple. We can replace that old crown with a solid-porcelain crown that has no metal substructure, eliminating the possibility of a new, unsightly black line forming later. A solid porcelain crown is much more life-like and natural looking than the porcelain/metal combination, and you won't have to worry about gum problems later. Plus, most crowns can be done in our office in just one visit, with no annoying temporary to deal with.

Replace Old Metal Fillings

Do you feel like your smile is more gray than white? Often, old silver fillings on back molars can make your teeth look gray when you smile. Sometimes this is due to the metal in the teeth, but other times it is caused by new decay that has leaked into the tooth underneath and around the old silver filling. Removing the old metal filling will not only make your smile whiter, but will also make each tooth stronger and more healthy.
