Improve Your Smile
When you look in the mirror at your smile, what do you see? Are you happy? Or, do you dread looking at your teeth? According to a national survey conducted by the American Dental Association, Crest and Oral-B, Americans deem the smile as the most important physical attribute. The majority of Americans know they should be taking excellent care of their teeth and gums but only one-third think they do an excellent job. You can improve your smile with many easy steps.
- Brush two times a day and floss once a day – It’s easy, simple and the best way to keep your teeth and gums healthy.
- Teeth Whitening – As we age, our teeth change color. Add in soda, tea, coffee, wine and tobacco, and your white smile can quickly disappear. The good news is there are more economical ways to have whiter teeth. Several over-the-counter teeth whitening treatments do work well and are affordable. On your next visit to DENTISTRY by john barras dds, our dentists can recommend specific brands. If your teeth are badly stained or you want fast results, you’ll need a more intense whitening treatment. We recommend Zoom! Teeth Whitening. In just 45 minutes, your teeth will appear eight shades whiter. The office procedure can be done over your lunch hour. The results last longer and the process is easy.
- White Fillings – If you’re embarrassed to smile because you have old silver fillings, you can have those replaced with tooth colored or white fillings. Composite or white fillings bond to your teeth better than silver; therefore creating a stronger tooth. White fillings also require less removal of your tooth. White fillings do require advanced training. The technique to place a white filling is different than a silver or amalgam filling. All the dentists at DENTISRY by john barras dds are specially trained in white fillings. To find out more, you can book a consultation with our office.
- Invisalign - Have your teeth shifted as you’ve gotten older? Or, were you unable to have braces when you were younger because of financial costs? Invisalign is a new procedure for straightening your teeth that doesn’t require the silver braces on the front of your teeth. Clear, nearly invisible aligner trays are worn over your teeth for 9 to 15 months. The trays slowly shift your teeth into a straight smile. Invisalign is a great option for adults who are sensitive to their crooked teeth but don’t want to wear traditional braces.
- Porcelain Veneers - If you have crooked, chipped, or stained teeth, porcelain veneers can help you have a Hollywood smile. A veneer is a thin tooth colored shell that is fixed to the front of your tooth. If you see someone with a beautiful, white, straight, even smile, it’s very possible that they have porcelain veneers.
All of these procedures are available our Houston cosmetic dentistry office. Please call us to schedule your appointment. If you’re intimated by costs, don’t worry. We have interest free finance plans to help you get your Hollywood smile.
