Start the New Year off right with Cosmetic Dentistry

Why Cosmetic Dentistry? Why not is what you should be asking yourself. Traditional dentistry focuses mainly on preventing and treating oral issues as well as hygiene. Cosmetic Dentistry is focused on the appearance of your smile. Your teeth may currently be free of plaque and other harmful additions to your teeth – but how do they look when you smile? Cosmetic Dentistry options can help with this.

There have been many advances in cosmetic dental options offering natural looking and durable dental options. This can range from choosing a filling color made from porcelain or composite materials so that they match the color of your teeth as much as possible to teeth replacements. A smile makeover is not comfortable, convenient and affordable.

Not many dentists are specially trained in the Salt Lake, Layton and Ogden area to provide these options. Affleck Dental, located in the Ogden/Layton area, can. Teeth whitening is one of the more popular methods and with the new Zoom Whitening options, Affleck Dental is able to accommodate all types of patients.

Other treatments for cosmetic dentistry are inlays and onlays and composite bonding to correct the appearance of your mouth and teeth. Along with veneers, these options are intended to simply correct and repair chips and cracks in the tooth. Dental implants can take it the next step further by adding artificial tooth implants all the way from the root. This option can enhance your smile and bring back your youthful look.

These are only a few of your options at Affleck Dental. Dr. Michael Affleck is one of the few local prosthodontists who can perform these procedures and ensure your excellent results. Start the new year off right with a free cosmetic dentistry consultation!

Your Teeth Whitening Options - Affordable and Easy

When you look in the mirror, what is one of the first things you might notice? Your smile of course. A smile looks good on everybody, but it helps for those teethy smiles to have a nice clean looking smile. Unfortunately there are many reasons why our teeth don’t stay a pearly shade of white. Smoking, food and drinking are only a few items that stain teeth. Nevertheless, this can be resolved with a healthy diet, no smoking, and minimizing staining foods and drinks. Teeth whitening is another option and is more readily available and affordable than most people think.

At home teeth whitening strips offer a simple solution with a straightforward procedure — applying teeth whitening strips directly to the teeth. One down fall is that these strips may not cover all the gaps and grooves in the teeth and could potentially leave dark gaps.

Bleaching gels with a tray that fits your mouth are a more effective option for at home tooth whitening. This option is affordable and easy to use. On the other hand, this process may only produce a small change and may leave the teeth rather sensitive.

Baking powder is a great and inexpensive form or teeth whitening that is passed down from our parents and their parents. Simply place a small amount of baking powder in a cup, add some water and stir it around. Put the mixture on your tooth brush and brush your teeth for about one to two minutes. In that time, the baking soda will begin to foam and the active ingredients will begin to work away the discoloration of your teeth.

Naturally, it is understandable if teeth whitening is one of the last things on your to do list until it is too late. That is why Affleck Dental provides a quick, non-invasive, affordable option for teeth whitening, Zoom Whitening. In just a short time you can walk out of Affleck Dental looking your best whether you plan to walk down the red carpet or just want to look particularly attractive for that special someone.
