People often think that missing teeth are mostly a cosmetic issue. The truth is, missing teeth can lead to bigger problems. The gold standard in tooth replacement is a dental implant. Here’s why.
As we age, so does the appearance of our teeth. They start to yellow and, as a result, look unhealthy. There is no shortage of over-the-counter products promising to brighten your smile. But the truth is, none are as effective and efficient as a professional teeth whitening service from your dentist.
At Loudoun Family and Cosmetic Dentistry in Leesburg, Virginia, Haidy Messih, DDS, and Basma Armanious, DMD, are proud to offer patients the best-in-class teeth whitening with GLO™.
We choose GLO for our patients because it is proven to work better than other whitening gels or strips. Our hygienists apply the whitening gel to each tooth and tailor treatment to the shade of whitening your desire. The GLO whitening device is registered with the FDA and is listed as a class one medical device. Also, unlike many whitening products, GLO patients typically don’t experience tooth sensitivity during treatment.
Here are four more reasons to consider reviving your youthful appearance with a professional teeth whitening service at Loudoun Family and Cosmetic Dentistry.
You don’t need scientific research to know that a bright white smile looks and makes you feel more attractive. But here it is anyway. According to a study from researchers at Central Lancashire and Leeds, white teeth are perceived to be healthier and more attractive, while yellow has the opposite effect.
Teeth whitening with store-bought products won’t deliver the same results that your dentist can, and our results are fast. To achieve maximum benefits from over-the-counter whitening toothpastes and strips typically takes weeks. With GLO, you can achieve teeth 12 shades whiter in less than an hour.
Under the supervision of experienced dental professionals, such as the team at Loudoun Family and Cosmetic Dentistry, professional teeth whitening is safe for clients over age 13.
We offer custom trays and professional whitening gel in take-home kits to maintain your newly brightened smile. We also recommend avoiding certain foods and beverages that can stain your teeth, such as tea, coffee, and blueberries. If you indulge, be sure to rinse your mouth or brush your teeth soon after consuming discoloring agents.
And, of course, be sure to visit us twice a year for cleanings and checkups.
If you’re ready to turn back the hands of time with a newly whitened smile, schedule an appointment at Loudoun Family and Cosmetic Dentistry today.
