Look Younger, Feel Confident with a Whiter Smile

Tuesday, August 24th, 2010

We all want a smile that dazzles, but it’s hard to keep teeth their whitest and brightest. Coffee, tea, tobacco, and medications can be hard on teeth, tinting them with yellow- and orange-colored stains. Even things we have no control over, like the natural aging process, can rob smiles of their brilliance.

Dr. Berlin here. At my McKinney dental offices, my team and I offer two ways to safely, effectively return a youthful glow to smiles that need a little help. Our in-office and take-home teeth bleaching methods remove stains and discolorations to reveal fantastic smiles. Teeth whitening works. Find out for yourself how a trip to the dentist can result in a confidence-inspiring smile!

Once the lab’s restoration was received by the dental office, you had another appointment. The dentist removed your temporary and cemented the permanent crown in place. Let’s just hope it fitted, or it’s back to a temporary while the lab makes a new restoration.

Sheesh. What a process! I understand the frustration of such a lengthy procedure. So I searched high and low for an alternative that would make your life easier. Found it! (more…)
