WHITENING:
We have three ways to brighten and whiten your teeth. The
three are very safe and effective. The conventional "tray"
method is one way to
achieve a whiter smile, with results in a few weeks. "Laser" whitening can
be done in our office with optimal results in only an hour or two! Our "Deep
Whitening" method combines the two for the most dramatic result
possible! These
methods are explained below:
Deep
Whitening: A remarkable new
whitening technique is providing better results than we have ever
imagined! With only two laser whitening
visits in our office and two weeks of home
whitening, your teeth will become dramatically whiter. Not only
are the results breathtaking, we also utilize an innovative technique to
seal the outsides of the teeth and protect them from further staining.
This exciting technique will also add the luster to the teeth that is
sometimes lost during other whitening methods. Your teeth will be very
white, but also extremely natural in appearance. Because of this
process, your teeth will be resistant to new stains. We also supply
you with the whitening trays to keep and use for periodic maintenance of
your bright new smile! Deep Whitening is the option that gives you the
best results with the least maintenance. If you want only the best
results, call us for a consultation appointment today. (505)-881-1159
OTHER WHITENING OPTIONS AVAILABLE AT FAMILY DENTAL
CARE:

Laser Power Whitening is performed
in our office under the direct supervision of our Laser Certified Staff and
Doctor.
Because of direct in-office control, any
exposed root surfaces and the gums are completely isolated and protected. In
this way, we prevent long term tooth sensitivity and gum irritation. Then
the special lasers energize the whitening gel that destroys the dark stains.
Laser whitening produces dramatic results
in one appointment without the difficulties associated with home tray kits
that apply chemicals to unprotected gums and exposed root surfaces.
Nor is the patient committed to enduring a mouthful of foaming chemicals
every day and night for several weeks or months. The
entire process is gentle, painless and requires no anesthetic or needles.
Results will vary, but every patient will have a whiter and brighter smile
that will last for years with no maintenance, and for a lifetime with some
attention to home care and an occasional touch up. |

"Tray" teeth whitening,
also known as bleaching, can be done by making custom fitted upper and lower
whitening trays at our office. These thin trays mold comfortably to the
teeth for day or night time use. Having your teeth professionally cleaned
before whitening will remove all external stains and your teeth will lighten
faster. If your primary concern is that your teeth are too yellow,
whitening may be the solution for you. |

THE FACTS ABOUT DENTAL
VENEERS
Veneers, usually fabricated from porcelain, are a thin, semi-translucent
"shell," custom made to fit precisely over an existing tooth. They are
permanently bonded, held in place by a special resin that adheres the back
of the veneer to the front of the tooth. The finished result is extremely
strong and durable. Though veneers are not suitable for every patient, they
are a cosmetic alternative for a variety of dental conditions affecting the
front teeth, including:
- closing spaces
- restoring broken or chipped teeth
- covering unsightly, stained or washed-out fillings
- whitening permanently stained or discolored teeth that are not
candidates for laser teeth whitening
- correcting uneven or crooked teeth
|
| Advantages and Benefits of Veneers When your smile is disfigured by decay, abrasion, chipping, breakage or
imperfect development, our goal is to restore its natural beauty, so you can
smile with confidence. At one time, resin fillings or crowns were the only
available treatment for the above types of conditions. Today, a third
alternative is available-one with proven results!
There are many benefits and advantages to having porcelain veneers
applied to your front teeth. These may include any or all of the following
considerations:
- Only a small amount of natural tooth structure (if any) is removed
during the procedure.
- A healthy, natural look is achieved with little or no discomfort.
- Veneers are often less expensive than alternative procedures.
- Veneers are strong, durable and color-stable.
