Affordable Teeth Whitening?

Friday, October 7th, 2011

Affordable Houston Tooth Whitening If you are like most Houston web users, you have probably seen the multitude of ads for ‘free teeth whitening kits’.

Some show a ‘real Houston mom’ who discovered a ‘tooth whitening secret’. Others assure you that their system is the one that ‘Houston dentists don’t want you to know about’. Many contain a link to a page that contains a convincing tooth whitening testimonial. They bolster their legitimacy by aligning themselves with respected companies such as CNN, USA Today and Forbes.

Unfortunately, most of these are rip-offs. In a recent article, the Better Business Bureau explains the scam:

The countless Web sites for various teeth whitening products claim to offer a no-risk, money back guarantee, free trial of the product. To sign up, customers must provide a credit or debit card number to cover shipping. Complainants to BBB state that they are billed before their trial ends and continue to be billed after they have told the company they want to cancel.

Complainants also may find mystery charges for other companies and services that they didn’t realize they were signing up for with their ‘free’ trial.

The BBB has received complaints about the following company/product names:

  • Dazzle White
  • White Smile
  • Teeth Smile
  • Dazzle Smile
  • Ivory White
  • Max White
  • My Whitening
  • Gleaming White Smile
  • Advanced Wellness Research

Don’t trust your smile to an internet scammer. Your Houston cosmetic dental office is the only place for safe teeth bleaching. You don’t want to take a chance with your credit card number or your tooth enamel! Call us at Willowbrook Dental Care for advanced cosmetic dentistry and worry-free Zoom whitening.

Spring TX Whiter Smiles

Wednesday, August 31st, 2011

Houston Pediatric Dentistry Wishing for a Spring TX whiter smile but not sure how to get it? New to Texas smile tooth whitening lingo? At Willowbrook Dental Care, we educate clients on the variety of Houston affordable teeth whitening treatments; from whitening trays to teeth bleaching to Zoom whitening. We do smile whitening every day.

Almost every toothpaste claims to whiten teeth, but as we age our teeth gradually turn yellow or gray, despite all the whitening toothpastes we use regularly. Tooth enamel, while one of the hardest substances in the body, is porous. Over time, the food and drinks that comes in contact with our teeth cause staining and discoloration. You probably have already discovered that a toothbrush cannot clean these microscopic pores.

Carbamide peroxide and hydrogen peroxide are the two main smile whitening ingredients. They can penetrate the outer layer of your teeth to remove the build-up, and help restore whitening to teeth. Call Willowbrook Dental Care at (281) 571-3760 to schedule an appointment and we will explain the difference between these tooth bleaching ingredients and how they may affect your Spring TX smile whitening results.

Spring TX at-home teeth whitening products are probably not a good choice if you have crowns or dental veneers. You could end up with extremely uneven results or possible damage to your existing Texas cosmetic dentistry.

We know the best Spring TX teeth bleaching options and can recommend the perfect white smile solution for you.

At Willowbrook Dental Care, we hope to see you soon. Give us a call at (281) 571-3760.

Which Tooth Whitener Works Best in Houston?

Friday, March 11th, 2011

Dazzling White Teeth in Houston What is the best professional tooth whitening system to use in Houston?

There are two types of dentist-supervised tooth whitening systems available in Houston. In order to determine the best choice for your teeth, schedule, and budget, you need to understand the differences in the systems.

Both systems use a bleaching agent containing peroxide. Houston dentists who offer professional in-office tooth bleaching use a whitening gel with a high concentration of peroxide. Some Houston in-office tooth whitening systems use a light that causes the tooth bleaching agent to work faster called Zoom whitening. 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 Houston 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 Champion and Cypress clients, this is the most affordable teeth whitening system.

At Willowbrook Dental Care, we offer safe and effective teeth bleaching. Our Houston cosmetic dentistry patients can’t believe how great their teeth look when they remove the stains and restore the brightness. If you would like to learn why our system is superior, schedule a consultation by calling our office at (281) 571-3760.

Professional Teeth Whitening

Wednesday, November 24th, 2010

Professional Teeth Whitening at Willowbrook Dental Care A brilliant smile leaves a lasting impression. Professional teeth whitening can dramatically improve your overall appearance and give you a boost in self-confidence.

Our teeth often turn yellow or gray as we age. The things we eat and drink continually such as colored sodas, coffee and red wine contribute to the staining. Most of us are aware that smoking is not only bad for your lungs; it is an enemy to beautiful teeth. If you are considering having your teeth whitened, you must first decide which method to use. At Willowbrook Dental Care, we enjoy discussing treatment options with our clients. To schedule a consultation to talk about teeth whitening or any other dental procedure, call (281) 571-3760.

At-home whitening treatments usually consist of trays filled with whitening solution. It takes 7-14 days to achieve 3-6 shades lighter. Brush-on teeth gels and whitening strips take up to 30 days to achieve barely noticeable results. Whitening toothpaste may lighten superficial stains but often provides no change in appearance of teeth.

Professional teeth whitening procedures performed by a dental professional achieve dramatic results that last far longer than other treatments.  One such treatment is Zoom whitening.

All of the whitening methods may cause tooth pain or sensitivity, but this usually goes away in a few days. If you have crowns, porcelain veneers or bonding, it is important to talk to your cosmetic dentist before choosing a whitening method.

Do Whitestrips Work?

Thursday, November 18th, 2010

Do Whitestrips Work in Houston? If you have visited the toothpaste aisle at your Houston Wal-Mart, 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 Houston were whitening toothpastes and Crest Whitestrips. Now there is a wide variety of products at every drugstore counter in the Houston area.

Whitening Rinses
Houston 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 simple, 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 Houston grocery stores have a couple of drawbacks. Though they contain a bleaching agent, it is much less potent than those used in Houston cosmetic dental offices. Another problem 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 Houston tooth whitening dental clinic.

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 affordable system is at your Houston dental office with Zoom whitening.

Willowbrook Dental Care is located at 17350 State Highway 249, Ste. 200, Houston, TX. Our phone number is (281) 571-3760. You can find more information on our Houston dental website online at http://www.thehoustoncosmeticdentist.com/about.htm.

Love Your Smile in Cypress, TX

Thursday, October 21st, 2010

Love Your Smile in Houston 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 Cypress men, women and teens to get a deep teeth cleaning and tooth whitening at Willowbrook Dental Care in Houston. With a deep cleaning followed by teeth whitening, your teeth will feel as good as they look.

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

Teeth whitening can whiten teeth beyond their natural shade. At our Cypress cosmetic dentistry practice, we don’t use a conventional shade chart for ou teeth whitening clients anymore. You have probably seen the porcelain tabs in graduated shades that Cypress tooth whitening dentists use to determine appropriate, yet natural looking, shades for tooth restorations. We now use a shade guide with levels significantly whiter than the guides we have used in the past. Tooth whitening is not a gimmick; it is safe and incredibly effective. Cypress tooth bleaching clients can maintain a white shade that equals the brightness of the ‘tooth’ models you see in dental marketing.

Cypress tooth whitening following twice-yearly cleanings is the most affordable cosmetic dentistry procedure. Tooth whitening in Cypress 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.

Tooth whitening has become one of the most popular dental procedures in Texas. It seems that everyone in Houston is whitening their teeth to help their smiles look younger and brighter. Many consumers in the Houston area are turning to over-the-counter solutions to whiten their teeth. However, there can be dangers and pitfalls to this approach.

Here is some basic advice on tooth whitening from Willowbrook Dental Care:

If used improperly, tooth whitening solutions can cause problems including tooth sensitivity, over whitening, damage to your tooth enamel, and irregular coloration. Whitening too much can even have a reverse effect, making your teeth look gray.

Most tooth whitening product manufacturers recommend that you visit your local Houston cosmetic dentist when things go wrong with your over-the-counter tooth whitening solution. We recommend you begin with the technically advanced and friendly professionals at Willowbrook Dental Care to get started with a tooth whitening solution.  In office Zoom! whitening may be a great solution for you.

Questions To Ask Your Houston Dentist

Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010

Questions To Ask Your Houston Dentist Sometimes we research our Houston mechanic or Cypress hairdresser more thoroughly than our Houston dental professional. Shouldn’t your dental care be far more important than the condition of your car or the style of your hair? At Willowbrook Dental Care, we love to answer questions about your teeth. You should be asking your Texas dentist any question you have about the care and status of your teeth.

For instance, you may have questions about the school of dentistry and dental specialties studied. Though important, dentistry school is not the only place to gain dental experience, however. Dr. J. Scott Anderson has been performing complex Texas dental procedures for several years in addition to his schooling.

You should also be asking about the dentistry specialties your Cypress dentist offers such as tooth restoration, braces and lumineers. These services may not be important to you now, but it is a good idea to have an understanding of your options, and to know what your Cypress dentist has to offer.

If you are contemplating smile restoration, tooth implants, or tooth whitening, evaluate Cypress cosmetic dentistry options with your dentist. Look at before and after pictures, and ask your Cypress dentist what procedures may be right for you.

General dentists offer a variety of Cypress dental services such as tooth extractions and tooth fillings, and can treat every member of the family. At Willowbrook Dental Care, we specialize in cosmetic dentistry, porcelain veneers and dental implants.

You have many choices for your Houston family dentistry. We welcome questions about all aspects of our Willowbrook Dental Care practice. Visit us at 17350 State Highway 249, Ste. 200, Houston, TX in Houston and talk to a member of our technically advanced and friendly team.
