Teeth Whitening - Dentist Sandy Springs

More and more the aesthetics of teeth are of great importance to patients, including tooth color.  The color of teeth is influenced by a combination of their natural color and the presence of any external stains that may form on the tooth surface.   The type of natural stain and initial tooth color can play a significant role in the ultimate outcome of teeth whitening.  Where oral health care used to be the primary role of a dentist, in the past 10 years the importance of teeth whitening has seen a dramatic rise in the number of tooth whitening products and procedures to come onto the marketplace.  Not only has the relationship of the dentist and patient changed, but the demand by the consumer for cookie cutter results to esthetic dentistry is supplanting the traditional approach to oral health care.

There are a number of approaches to measuring tooth color changes following tooth whitening; each with their own advantages and disadvantages; and given the consumer’s demand for continued esthetic emphasis, tooth whitening continues to demand further research and perfection.  The key factors that affect tooth whitening efficacy by peroxide containing products are a function of peroxide concentration, light exposure and the allocation of application time.  In general, higher concentrations of peroxide provide results faster than lower concentrations. And what appears to be a demand for immediate gratification by the consumer apparently drives the need to develop systems that deliver higher concentrations of peroxide in shorter application time periods.

Your smile is the first thing people notice. And our goal is to help you smile, but we want to make sure it's the right smile, one that's natural and comfortable for you.  If  stained teeth are "hiding" the real you, it's time for what is commonly referred to as a smile make over. It is understood that a beautiful smile can brighten your lifestyle every day, both professionally and socially.  And unlike plastic surgery, teeth whitening isn't a major operation.  Imagine coming in for a single appointment or two and emerging with the smile you've always wanted. The results are immediate and dramatic. There are many ways you can receive a youthful, attractive, natural looking smile.

You can be assured that as a prosthodontist, I understand the functional mechanics as well as the cosmetic artistry needed to evaluate and create the right smile for you. Your goals for achieving the smile you want and the dental health you need are my first priority in our Sandy Springs office.
