- Dental ExaminationProfessional teeth whitening in your dentist’s office is the safest and best way to get a healthy, white smile. When you make your appointment to get your teeth whitened by your dentist, the first thing your dentist will do is give you a full dental examination. This step is to ensure that you don’t have any underlying conditions that could be exacerbated by the teeth whitening treatment. This is another reason why it’s important to get your teeth whitened by a dentist as opposed to trying to do it at home. Only your dentist will be able to thoroughly examine your oral health before proceeding.

- Teeth CleaningWe recommend that most adults schedule a dental examination that includes a thorough teeth cleaning once every six months. The exam allows the dentist to check for any emerging issues as well as check whether ongoing issues are responding well to treatment. We also offer services such as oral cancer screenings and treat conditions such as gum disease, bad breath, and dry mouth.

Some simply require routine checkups and cleanings on a regular basis, while others may need careful monitoring of tooth and gum health due to pre-existing conditions, family history, risk factors, or overall declining health. Some patients need bridgework, implants, root canals, and other more extensive work, and some require teeth whitening, straightening, and other cosmetic procedures designed to promote self-confidence by improving the appearance. We’re also aware that many patients experience anxiety at the thought of visiting their dentist while others don’t mind at all. For all of these reasons, we work with individual patients to create customized care plans.

- Teeth WhiteningWhen you get your teeth whitened in your dentist’s office, you get professional, guaranteed results. There are many different over-the-counter teeth whitening kits available at drug and discount stores. Unfortunately, this is an example of getting what you pay for. Those kinds of DIY kits often don’t work as expected, and they give less than spectacular results, if any. The only place to get guaranteed results for whitened teeth is at your dentist’s office.
- Cosmetic DentistryCosmetic dentistry is a form of dental care where the dentist will perform either invasive or non-invasive procedures to improve your teeth’s appearance. They may use surgical or prosthetic techniques to achieve this.
