Shine Bright with Teeth Whitening

August 20, 2014

178597379Having a bright, dazzling smile is something that many people strive for. Over the years, normal wear and tear on our smiles plays a role in diminishing your smile’s luminescence. There are many people that consider a smile to be a first impression, and when you are not completely confident in your smile, it can have negative effects on the way you view yourself and the way you interact with others. If you feel as though you have to go through life having a dull smile, your worries can be put to rest because Dr. Anthony Giamberardino is able to give you the radiant smile you have always wanted using teeth whitening.

There are many reasons why a smile’s brightness could diminish over time. Certain medications, coffee, tea, wine, using tobacco-based products, and even genetics all play a role. If you have tried over the counter whitening products, you may have found that you get no change in your smile, or results that do not last. Dr. Giamberardino wants his patients to feel proud of their smile, and offering professional teeth whitening is definitely a way to accomplish that.

We offer a couple of options for our patients who wish to whiten their smiles. The first is at-home whitening. With this form of whitening, we will make impressions of your smile and have custom whitening trays made just for you. By doing this, we can ensure your results will be amazing. We will also be able to provide you with professional-grade whitening gel. All you have to do is fill the trays with the whitening gel, and wear them for an allotted amount of time each day. Over the course of one to two weeks, you will see the full, beautiful results!

Another option is porcelain veneers for those who find that bleaching their smiles do not deliver the results they want. Porcelain veneers are stain resistant, ensuring your smile is brilliant at all times. Also, porcelain veneers are able to cover any chips, misalignments, and cracks in your smile! If you would like to know how Dr. Giamberardino is able to make your smile shine again with teeth whitening, contact our office today!

What Kind of Teeth Do You Have?

103311379Being well informed with anything in life is always beneficial. Whether you are doing research for an essay or looking at the pros and cons of a car you are wanting to buy, information is power when making decisions and knowing how certain things work. The same goes for your smile! Many people do not know the types of teeth they have or their functions, forgetting the significant role they play in our smiles. Dr. Anthony Giamberardino wants his patients to be as well-informed as possible when it comes to their smile, even when it comes to the functions of their teeth.

One type of tooth that you have are your incisors. They are the eight teeth that are toward the front and center of your mouth, and you use them when you take a bite of food. Your canines make their appearance between sixteen and twenty months of age. Because they are the sharpest teeth in your smile, they are usually used to tear your food apart to make consumption easier.

Our premolars are responsible for chewing and grinding our food, and you have four on either side of your mouth. The premolars typically appear when you are around the ages of ten and eleven. The types of teeth that appear between twelve and fifteen months of age are our molars, and those are also used for chewing and grinding our food. Our wisdom teeth, also known as our third molars, are the last to develop, showing up around eighteen to twenty years of age. Some never develop their wisdom teeth, which is beneficial to their overall smile because it eliminates crowding.

Being informed on your teeth and their role in your smile are excellent in realizing the true power of your smile and appreciating all of the hard work they do!
