Teeth Whitening in Ladera Ranch: Which Works Best?

Posted on
Categories: Cosmetic Dentistry, Dental Health, Teeth Whitening

Teeth Whitening in Ladera Ranch What is the best professional treatment for teeth whitening in Ladera Ranch? There are two types of dentist-supervised tooth whitening systems available in Ladera Ranch. In order to determine the best choice for your teeth, schedule, and budget, you need to understand the differences in the systems.

Differences in Teeth Whitening Systems

Both systems use a bleaching agent containing peroxide. Dentists who offer professional in-office teeth whitening in Ladera Ranch use a whitening gel with a high concentration of peroxide. Some Las Sorres in-office tooth whitening systems use a light that causes the tooth bleaching agent to work faster.

There are different types of lights including halogen, plasma arc, metal halide, and laser; but they all work the same way. When the light is shined at teeth on which the whitening gel is applied, it causes the peroxide to break down into free radicals, which are active oxygen molecules. This process naturally occurs without the light, but the light makes it happen faster. That is why you can get whiter teeth in just one hour.

Most Ladera Ranch cosmetic dentists also offer take-home tooth whitening systems. Although these procedures take a bit longer to work, they achieve the same dramatic results. For many San Juan Capistrano and Mission Viejo patients, this is the most affordable teeth whitening system.

Affordable Teeth Whitening in Ladera Ranch

Affordable Teeth Whitening in Ladera ranch One of the easiest and most affordable ways to brighten your smile is to get teeth whitening in Ladera Ranch. There are several possibilities when it comes to tooth whitening systems. You can choose from a selection of over-the-counter tooth whitening products at your local drug store, or you can depend on your dentist.

Your Dentist Knows Your Teeth

It is a good idea to consult with your dentist before using over the counter products for teeth whitening in Ladera Ranch. Your dentist knows your teeth and dental history and can recommend the tooth bleaching product most appropriate for you.

There are many variables when it comes to teeth whitening in Ladera Ranch. The color of your teeth at the beginning of your treatment will influence the end result. Other considerations include previous cosmetic dentistry procedures the patient has completed, such as crowns and dental bonding, gum health, and tooth sensitivity. Your dentist has experience treating tooth discoloration and understands the advantages and drawbacks of the available methods.

Your dentist may suggest a tooth whitening solution that you can take home with you. In some cases, your dentist may recommend a professional treatment that is done at the dentist’s office. Professional tooth whitening can deliver compelling results in a single treatment but is often done over a couple of visits to the office.

A Whiter Smile Without Breaking the Bank

Tooth whitening is less pricey than it was in the earlier days of tooth whitening technology. Today, tooth whitening treatments are very cost-effective. If you are interested in teeth whitening in Ladera Ranch, please call Parker Dentistry to make an appointment for a tooth whitening consultation. We also offer other services such as Invisalign clear braces, cold sore treatment, and tooth extractions.

Fact And Fiction: Teeth Whitening in Ladera Ranch

Posted on
Categories: Cosmetic Dentistry, Family Dentistry, General Dentistry, Porcelain Veneers, Teeth Whitening

Ladera Ranch Teeth Whitening and Veneers Judging from advertising, teeth whitening is in high demand, and it’s one of the services we offer at Parker Dentistry in Ladera Ranch. Everyone seems to want whiter teeth, and there is a bewildering selection of products and services to help you get them. How can you sort it all out?

There are numerous over-the-counter products that promise a whiter smile in a matter of weeks. From toothpastes to whitening strips, these products can be effective, but they have their limits. None of them can give you the kind of white smile you’ll get with professional whitening.

Don’t be fooled by smile whitening hype and risk poor results. If you have existing cosmetic dental work such as crowns, bonding, partial dentures or bridge work, it is important to talk to a trusted professional about worry-free teeth whitening.

If you have all-natural teeth that are dull or stained, teeth whitening will probably brighten your smile. If you have several crowns in the front of your mouth, veneers, or gums that have receded, conventional tooth-whitening may not be successful.

Porcelain veneers may be a better solution for you. Veneers are thin ceramic shells that are permanently attached to the front of your teeth. Porcelain veneers can do more than brighten your smile. Sometimes called “instant orthodontic,s” they can repair tooth misalignment and gaps as well as deliver instant teeth whitening.

At Parker Dentistry in Ladera Ranch, we offer several teeth whitening options: an in-office teeth bleaching, and a take-home whitening kit. We also provide general and family dentistry, and Six Month Smiles and Invisalign orthodontics.

Root Canal in Ladera Ranch? It’s Not The End Of The World

root canal sedation Ladera Ranch

Whether you live in Ladera Ranch, Cucamonga, or some far-flung locale, you know a root canal is one of the most dreaded dental procedures there is. But it doesn’t have to be that way. A successful root canal can save a tooth and prevent the need for an extraction.

If Dr. Lincoln Parker determines that you need a root canal, he’ll explain that root canals are performed to save an infected tooth. If the tooth goes untreated, abscesses and complete tooth loss may occur.

During the procedure, the tooth’s nerve and pulp are removed. Next, the interior is cleaned and disinfected. Then it is filling and sealed with a special rubbery material. Finally, the restored tooth is sealed with a crown or filling.

Root canals have the reputation of being painful, but this is not the case anymore. There are several effective pain management methods available today at Parker Dentistry. From local painkillers and numbing agents to oral sedation, we will make sure you are comfortable during the procedure. Once the infected tissue is removed, focus turns to helping the oral site heal, which may require another visit.

Dr. Parker opened Parker Dentistry in Ladera back in 2013. He is known throughout California as an outstanding dental care provider, including cosmetic dentistry, dental implants, and sedation dentistry.

In addition to general dentistry, we provide singular cosmetic dental services; everything from teeth whitening to complete smile transformations.

If you have a tooth that is bothering you, call Dr. Parker now for an appointment.

All Tooth Stains Are Not Created Equal

Posted on
Categories: Teeth Whitening

Ladera Ranch Teeth Bleaching Will an of our locally advertised teeth whitening options remove the stains from your teeth?

The effectiveness of teeth bleaching in Mission Viejo depends partly on the types of stains.

Extrinsic tooth stains are the easiest to remove. These surface stains have not yet penetrated through the enamel into the dentin. Extrinsic stains are caused by dark-colored foods and beverages like blueberries, carrots, coffee, red wine, and cola. And nicotine is no better for your smile than it is for your lungs.

Unfortunately, even if you avoid these common teeth stainers, your teeth will become discolored over time. Like gray hair, wrinkles, and memory lapses, a dull smile is an inevitable part of aging for Rancho Santa Margarita men and women.

Intrinsic tooth stains develop from the inside out. Tooth injury and tetracycline are the usual culprits. Intrinsic stains are more difficult to remove completely, but it is possible to lighten them with professional tooth whitening available at your Las Sorres cosmetic dental office.

If your teeth are stained, whether from coffee, tetracycline, or excessive fluoride, call Parker Dentistry at 949-429-0717. We have treated many San Juan Capistrano patients with extreme tooth discoloration.

It is never too late or too early to brighten your smile.

Ladera Ranch seniors can take years off their appearance by restoring the youthful white smile they once enjoyed. Teens and young adults with surface stains can prevent them from becoming intrinsic stains with tooth bleaching.

Speaking of the younger set, did you know that people who drink energy drinks are at risk for many dental problems?

Do Whitestrips Work?

Posted on
Categories: Teeth Whitening

Teeth Whitening If you have visited the toothpaste aisle at your Ladera Ranch grocery store, you have probably noticed dozens of products that claim to whiten your teeth. A few years ago, the only over-the-counter tooth whitening options in Rancho Santa Margarita were whitening toothpastes and Crest Whitestrips. Now there is a wide variety of products at every drugstore counter in the area.

Whitening Rinses
Whitening rinses are similar to mouthwashes. They kill bacteria, freshen breath and may help remove plaque. Whitening rinses, however, contain tooth-whitening ingredients not found in mouthwashes. Manufacturers advise taking a mouthful of the rinse and letting it slosh around on your teeth for one minute twice a day. Though this method is easy, many users never notice a lightening of their teeth. This is probably because the rinse does not touch your teeth long enough to truly whiten them.

Whitening Strips
The whitening strips you can buy in Rancho Santa Margarita grocery stores have a couple of drawbacks. Though they contain a bleaching agent, it is much less potent than those used in dental offices. Another trouble is that they do not whiten between teeth because the strips only touch the front surface. Though it is possible to remove stains, it can take months to see any whitening. By that point, you have probably spent more money than you would have if you’d have chosen the professional system at your Ladera Ranch dental practice.

Teeth Whitening Gels
Whitening gels are painted onto teeth with a small brush. One problem with whitening gels is that they only stick to dry teeth. If any saliva gets on the teeth during treatment, the gel is more likely to slide off.

If you are serious about dramatically whitening your teeth, the safest, quickest, and most competitively-priced system is at your Ladera Ranch dental office.

Teeth Whitening At Your Ladera Ranch Dentist

Posted on
Categories: Teeth Whitening

Ladera Ranch fast teeth whitening Teeth whitening is one of the easiest ways to improve your smile in Ladera Ranch. It is quick, affordable, and non-invasive. Though some Rancho Santa Margarita cosmetic dentistry patients experience short-term sensitivity, most experience no tooth whitening pain at all.

If you have looked into Mission Viejo teeth whitening, you probably already know the basics. The one thing they have in common is that they use a solution containing peroxide to remove the stains that have settled in the natural microscopic cracks in your tooth enamel.

There are many DIY teeth bleaching products available in Las Sorres and it seems like new ones appear every time you visit the toothpaste aisle at your Rancho Santa Margarita grocery or San Juan Capistrano drug store.

These Mission Viejo tooth whitening strips and tooth whitening pens can sometimes whiten your teeth a few shades, but the peroxide concentration is much lower than the whitening solutions used in Ladera Ranch cosmetic dental offices. It may not be effective enough for your tooth stains.

Tooth whitening offered at San Juan Capistrano mall kiosks is risky, also. Most of these teeth whitening businesses in California have no professional oversight and the employees have little dental training. (Except instruction on how to take advantage of customer naivety.)

Lincoln Parker recommends that you use extreme caution when considering a take-home Rancho Santa Margarita tooth whitener. If you have tooth decay, gum recession, crowns, or veneers, you definitely need professional guidance.

The portion of your teeth below the gumline, if exposed, may respond differently to tooth whitener. Moreover, the peroxide solution does not noticeably whiten crowns and veneers. If you use a DIY tooth whitener on teeth with extensive porcelain restorations, you should probably hope it doesn’t whiten too much – you may end up with a two- or three-tone smile!

Even though Ladera Ranch teeth whitening seems straightforward, your teeth deserve a professional opinion. After all, we are talking about teeth here. You can’t fix an uneven teeth whitening result like you can a bad hair-coloring job.

Schedule a Rancho Santa Margarita tooth bleaching evaluation before you waste your cash on more Crest White Strips. We can be reached at 949-429-0717.

Love Your Smile In Ladera Ranch

Categories: Teeth Whitening

Love Your Smile in Ladera Ranch There is nothing like bright white teeth that light up a person’s whole face when they smile and laugh. No one has to settle for dull, yellow teeth.

This is a great time for Rancho Santa Margarita men, women and teens to get a deep teeth cleaning and tooth whitening at Parker Dentistry in Ladera Ranch. With a deep cleaning followed by teeth bleaching, your teeth will feel as good as they look.

If you have an important upcoming event such as a wedding, party or formal family portrait sitting, a smile makeover will give you extra confidence as you pose for photos (even close-ups).

You have probably seen the porcelain tabs in graduated shades that Ladera Ranch dentists use to determine appropriate, yet natural looking, shades for tooth restorations. San Juan Capistrano teeth bleaching can whiten teeth beyond their natural shade. Many Ladera Ranch cosmetic dentistry practices don’t use a conventional shade chart for whitening patients anymore.

There are now shade guides with levels significantly whiter than the guides used in the past. Tooth whitening is not a gimmick; it is safe and incredibly effective. Rancho Santa Margarita tooth bleaching patients can maintain a white shade that equals the brightness of the ‘tooth’ models you see in dental marketing.

San Juan Capistrano tooth whitening following twice-yearly cleanings is usually the most affordable cosmetic dentistry procedure. Tooth bleaching in Ladera Ranch is comparable to the cost of a professional hair weaving and cut, but when you consider the transformation – there is no comparison! Flash your gorgeous, sparkling smile, and no one will even notice your hair!

How Bright Can You Shine, Ladera Ranch?

Categories: Teeth Whitening

Bright Smiles In Las Sorres

Hello Ladera Ranch! Do you want brighter, whiter teeth? Most Las Sorres residents notice their teeth dulling as the years go by, but some foods, drinks, and even mouthwashes can stain teeth at any age.

OTC tooth whitening products like kits, strips, or toothpastes may slightly lighten stains, but for a truly beautiful smile, see Lincoln Parker!

If you have dental veneers, bonding, or bridges, teeth whitening bleach will not influence the stains and your whitened natural teeth may make your dental work look even duller in comparison. At Parker Dentistry, we can advise you about new dental work, including veneers or bondings, if these have discolored with age.

Remember, anything that can stain a white t-shirt can stain teeth.

Fortunately, brushing after meals can keep stains at bay; however, after consuming acidic foods or drinks, just rinse your mouth with water. Brushing right away can erode enamel.

In-office teeth whitening takes about an hour and bleaches teeth to a whiter-than-ever brilliance. Professional take-home whitening kits are also available at Parker Dentistry and can produce fantastic results over time.

For more specifics about a younger and brighter smile, contact our friendly dental team for a smile brightening consultation today!

Should San Juan Capistrano Teens Whiten Their Teeth?

Posted on
Categories: Teeth Whitening

Ladera Ranch teeth bleaching best price

Getting a smile just like their favorite singer or movie star might be high on your teen’s priority list. However, you may want to talk with your Mission Viejo, Las Sorres, or Rancho Santa Margarita dentist before buying an at-home tooth whitening product.

As with any cosmetic dentistry procedure, teeth whitening should be overseen by a professional. There are a number of factors that can affect results such as an existing crown or teeth that have not yet erupted. Some medical conditions can cause teeth to darken. Your Rancho Santa Margarita dentist can determine if a teen’s tooth stains are a symptom of an underlying condition.

It’s always a good idea to stress prevention over treatments, especially with kids. Make sure your teen is practicing proper oral health habits and help them understand that coffee, tea, cola, and energy drinks can stain their teeth. And if they need another reason not to smoke, remind them that tobacco products will destroy their beautiful smile along with their lungs. Lastly, warn them of the dangers of oral piercings, which include tooth damage and infection.

If you or any member of your family decides to use an over-the-counter teeth whitener, be sure to follow the instructions exactly, as the bleaching agents used can damage your mouth and gums.
