The Oral Health Care Guidebook to Zoom! Whitening

/in /by

A key element of oral health care is having a beautiful white smile that looks healthy and clean. If you want to improve the look of your smile, look no further than Zoom! whitening.

In order to keep your oral health care at its best, consider the following benefits of Zoom! Whitening:

– Many teeth stains dwell deep within a tooth, but Zoom! whitening uses gels that can go deep within a tooth to softly bleach away stains and discolorations.
– It is important to remember that although Zoom! whitening is tremendously effective at removing stains, it cannot prevent future stains from occurring.
– Zoom! whitening kits for at-home use are offered from your dentist if you would like to touch up blemishes and discolorations on your own time.
– Some foods and drinks are capable of staining and discoloring teeth, but Zoom! whitening can eliminate them.
– Zoom! whitening treatments can be placed in our office in about an hour, giving you a whiter smile from your very first visit.

If you think your teeth could use a little extra work and you would like to have a Zoom! whitening treatment from our team at Dr. Malcolm Boykin DDS, simply book an appointment with Dr. Malcolm J Boykin DDS and the rest of our team at our dentist office in Ramona, CA, by calling us at 760-789-2330.

Restart Your Summer with a New Smile Courtesy of Veneers and Crowns

/in /by

Restart your summer with a new smile courtesy of veneers and crowns. Did you know two of the most highly effective types of tooth restoration treatments for improving the look of your smile are dental crowns and dental veneers, as both treatments cap or conceal troublesome areas of your teeth, but in different ways? To learn more about the terrific benefits of both restoration treatments, see the lists below:

Advantages of dental crowns:

– If you wish to fully conceal and cover a tooth, dental crowns are the ideal choice.

– If your teeth require additional protection against tooth decay and other oral health hazards, dental crowns are an ideal choice.

– Dental crowns can efficiently treat teeth previously restored or replaced with services such as root canals, fillings, implants, or bridges.

Advantages of dental veneers:

– Dental veneers are very thin and can be easily attached to the fronts of problematic teeth to conceal their problems.

– Dental veneers can be crafted and customized based on looks, comfort, size, and color.

– Less tooth enamel is removed to hold veneers in place than for dental crowns.
