What’s On Your Dental Wish List?

by

Are you happy with the appearance of your smile? If you aren’t, then cosmetic dentistry from ColemanDental in Houston TX may be for you. Cosmetic dentistry is a type of dental care that is all about improving the appearance of your mouth, teeth, and smile. It includes a range of procedures. Some of the most popular include the following:

  • Teeth Whitening: Professional teeth whitening can remove years of stains and discoloring. It is far more effective than any product you can find at the store.
  • Porcelain Veneers: Veneers are thin shells of medical-grade ceramic. They are made individually to fit over the front of your teeth. Veneers can mask chips, cracks, gaps, and other imperfections to give you a magnificent smile.
  • Porcelain Crowns: Dental crowns are covers that are placed over teeth to restore their shape, strength, and appearance. Sometimes used to protect a weakened tooth, they have many other useful functions, including cosmetic modification.
  • Dental Implants: Implants are titanium posts that are inserted into the jaw. They fuse with the bone and provide a solid support for an artificial tooth that looks and functions like the real thing.

If you would like to improve the appearance of your smile, ColemanDental in Houston TX has a cosmetic dentistry procedure that is right for you and your wish list. We’ve improved the smiles of people from all over Memorial Villages and Tanglewood. Call us today!

Time To Upgrade Your Smile?

by

Have you thought about upgrading your smile? Cosmetic dentistry from ColemanDental in Houston TX offers many possibilities!

  • Teeth whitening is the quickest and least invasive procedure. The results are better than you might expect. Professional teeth whitening far surpasses any commercial product you’ll find at the store.
  • Porcelain veneers are an excellent remedy for unsightly gaps or chips in your teeth. Veneers are thin shells of medical-grade ceramic that are permanently attached to the front of teeth, covering any flaws.
  • Invisalign® clear braces are an excellent option for straightening misaligned teeth. Technically known as aligners, they are a series of clear plastic trays worn like a mouthguard. Each new tray in the series applies pressure to gradually give you an ideal bite. People love them because they can be removed for meals and to brush your teeth.
  • Dental implants are titanium posts inserted into your jaw, where they fuse with the bone. Once they do, they can support one or more artificial teeth. They look and function like natural teeth. No wonder they’re considered a major achievement in dentistry!

How Your Lifestyle Affects Your Tooth Color

by

Most people want to have white teeth and a great smile. But the majority of people have discolored or just plain yellow teeth, especially in a world of tea and coffee drinkers. At ColemanDental in Houston TX, we can fix that.

Did you know that tooth enamel is like skin? It has pores that can get clogged and discolored. The most common habits that work against you are:

  • Tobacco and other smokable substances
  • Sodas and other dark colored drinks like coffee, red wines, and teas
  • Not practicing daily oral hygiene
  • Not having proper dental care

If you want to lighten your teeth, the above will consistently work against you. We advise kicking these habits to the curb if you want the whitest teeth possible. There are compelling health ramifications as well.

If, in spite of your best efforts, your smile is still dull, professional teeth whitening from ColemanDental in Houston TX can revive it. People from Memorial Villages and Tanglewood trust us their smiles! We also offer complete cosmetic dentistry. Call today to find out what we can do for your smile!

How can I ensure avoiding a teeth whitening disaster (a la Ross from Friends)?

How can I ensure avoiding a teeth whitening disaster (a la Ross from Friends)?

-Becca in North Dakota

Becca,

Teeth whitening can be a smile brightening, pleasant experience. There are some questions you can ask before making an appointment so you don’t get the glow in the dark, blinding “Ross” look, or end up spending money getting no results at all.

First, you want to know how strong is the bleach that’s being used? The ADA recommends a 10% peroxide solution to be used in an in-home bleaching kit, and a 15-35% peroxide solution for in office bleaching such as Zoom whitening, or other chair side products. You also need to be aware of who’s administering the bleaching. Teeth bleaching should be done by a trained professional only. Certain med spas, and stands at the mall may want to be passed over when looking to have such a delicate procedure done, which is best handled by a trained dentist. Delivering a highly potent agent requires medical oversight, thus decreasing risks for over-bleaching which can cause gum irritation and tooth sensitivity. Also, a trained dentist can oversee the process making sure no other dental therapies are needed due to tooth discoloration (natural teeth vs. caps/porcelain veneers). If only Ross was more proactive when he decided to Zoom his teeth!

My white smile is fading only a couple days after Zoom whitening!

by

I have been hiding my ugly, discolored teeth for awhile now. So I finally decided to get Zoom whitening done. But I have to say, although I was really happy at first, that all faded in only a few days. I feel like this is unfair. I don’t think I should have to pay for the treatment since I am unhappy. Why did my whitening fade after only days?

– Vicki in Wisconsin

Vicki,

Teeth whitening results can vary greatly among people. Your dentist really has no way to predict the exact shade. Although, the dentist should have done a better job of explaining what would happen after the procedure. Zoom whitening is typically done in three separate, fifteen minute whitening sessions. In some cases, the dentist will opt to do a fourth if the patient is cooperative. The Zoom whitening system uses a special Zoom light to when teeth and it actually dehydrates teeth. This gives your teeth a bright white effect immediately and then as the teeth rehydrate over the next few days and weeks, the whiteness can fade. This actually happens with almost all teeth whitening cosmetic dentistry treatments. It is very difficult to predict exactly how much it will fade. Many dentists will send patients home with teeth whitening trays so touch up treatments can be performed at home. This technique helps to maintain the whiteness that was achieved in the office. Don’t feel cheated or ripped off. What you have described is quite common. It is unfortunate that you were not better prepared for what would happen after you left the office.

Can false teeth be whitened?

by

I was born without my two lateral incisors. I wanted to get dental implants in the next few years but currently I have two false teeth that are attached to a retainer to fill the gaps. My teeth are discolored and I have been wanting to get them whitened. Does teeth whitening work on false teeth?

– John in Kentucky

John,

Unfortunately, false teeth cannot be whitened. Actually, any kind of prosthetic or restoration will not whiten, including porcelain veneers, porcelain crowns, or dental bonding. This is because the teeth whitening agents are only effective on living surfaces. The oxygen is released to penetrate deep into the tooth. This also means that if a tooth has had a root canal, the only way it can be whitened is with internal whitening because nerves inside the tooth are no longer living. Zoom whitening will not work either.

You can use teeth whitening on your teeth prior to getting the permanent dental implants. At that time you can choose the shade you want and then have the implant dentist match the shade of your whitened teeth. If you can’t wait to whiten your teeth and want to do it now, you can always get a new retainer made and have the false teeth made to match.

Thanks for your question!
