Restore Your Smile With A Whitening Consultation

/in /by

The surfaces of your teeth are protected by tooth enamel. Even though your teeth look smooth, there are tiny textures that trap darker food particles and bacteria. Over time, these dark particles could start to saturate deeper into the tooth enamel, leaving you with embarrassing stains on your teeth. Drinking dark liquids and smoking are also well-known causes of stained teeth.

Finding the right method for restoring your white smile can sometimes be a challenge, depending on the depth and severity of your dental staining. In a situation like this, a whitening consultation with Dr. Boykin can help you find the most effective method for improving your smile’s appearance.

Dr. Boykin recommends daily brushing with a whitening toothpaste to help minimize surface stains. Make sure your toothpaste is approved by the American Dental Association. Unfortunately, the concentration of hydrogen peroxide whitening agents in the paste will not be strong enough to remove stains that have saturated deep into your tooth enamel.

Using whitening strips that have been approved by the ADA can also be a convenient method for removing surface stains. They can whiten your smile while you go about your day. Just like whitening toothpaste, the whitening strips are only strong enough to remove minor surface stains and they cannot brighten a deeply stained smile.

Having Dr. Malcolm J Boykin DDS administer a dental bleaching treatment is often the safest and most effective way to resolve more significant dental stains. Once your smile has been professionally whitened, he can help you know which retail-grade whitening methods can help maintain the luster of your smile.

If you are near Ramona, CA and you are struggling with a stained smile, you should call (760) 789-2330 to set up a whitening consultation with Dr. Malcolm J Boykin DDS.

A Professional Whitening Treatment Can Safely and Effectively Whiten Your Smile

/in /by

When stains set into your smile, it can leave you feeling socially awkward. Unfortunately, the whitening agents in whitening toothpaste and whitening strips are rarely potent enough to remove deep stains from tooth enamel. In a situation like this, a professional whitening treatment administered by your dentist, Dr. Malcolm J Boykin DDS, can safely and effectively whiten your smile.

The dental bleach Dr. Malcolm J Boykin DDS uses is very potent. At the start of the dental bleaching treatment, he will take measure to protect your gums by installing a soft rubber dam or protective gel over your gums.

Dr. Malcolm J Boykin DDS will then pour a small amount of the concentrated bleaching gel into a tray that is inserted into your mouth. It will need to be held in place for a few minutes. The total duration of the treatment will vary depending on the severity of your tooth stains.

Once this stage is completed, Dr. Malcolm J Boykin DDS might use a special ultraviolet light to brighten any troubled spots and improve the luster of your smile.

Afterward, you might want to consider cutting back on dark foods and beverages to prevent future stains. Brushing your teeth with a whitening toothpaste that has been approved by the American Dental Association could also be beneficial.

Preferred Over Other Options
Other cosmetic dentistry options such as veneers or replacement crowns remove parts of the tooth. While these options are appropriate in some situations, whitening is generally preferred because it is non-invasive and keeps all of your healthy tooth structure.

How It Works
Our dentist will make a pair of specially formed trays fitted to your teeth, and use them to apply a carefully mixed concentration of dental peroxide bleach. The concentration will be left on for a time to allow the bleach to lighten your teeth. Depending on how much brightening you need, you may be done in a single day or require a few visits.
