Do Whitestrips Work?

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

Whitening Rinses
Flower Mound 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 Flower Mound grocery stores have a couple of drawbacks. Though they contain a bleaching agent, it is much less potent than those used in Flower Mound 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 Flower Mound 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 Flower Mound cosmetic dental office with Zoom whitening.

Titensor Family, Implant, Cosmetic & Sedation Dentistry is located at 1901 Long Prairie Rd., Flower Mound, TX. Our phone number is 469-293-1040. You can find more information on our Flower Mound dental website online at http://www.smilesbysteve.com/about.html.

Professional Teeth Whitening

Professional Teeth Whitening at Titensor Family, Implant, Cosmetic & Sedation Dentistry 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 Titensor Family, Implant, Cosmetic & Sedation Dentistry, we enjoy discussing treatment options with our clients. To schedule a consultation to talk about teeth whitening or any other cosmetic dental procedure, call 469-293-1040.

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 professional treatment is in-office 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 dentist before choosing a whitening method.

We do smile makeovers!

Flower Mound Whiter Smiles

Flower Mound Pediatric Dentistry Wishing for a whiter smile but not sure how to get it? New to tooth whitening lingo? At Titensor Family, Implant, Cosmetic & Sedation Dentistry, we educate clients on the variety of affordable teeth whiting treatments; from teeth whitening trays 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 tooth whitening ingredients. They can penetrate the outer layer of your teeth to remove the build-up, and help restore whitening to teeth. Call Titensor Family, Implant, Cosmetic & Sedation Dentistry in Flower Mound at 469-293-1040 to schedule an appointment and we will explain the difference between these tooth bleaching ingredients and how they may affect your smile whitening results.

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

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

At Titensor Family, Implant, Cosmetic & Sedation Dentistry located in Flower Mound, we hope to see you soon. Give us a call at 469-293-1040.

Affordable Teeth Whitening?

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

Some show a ‘real Coppell mom’ who discovered a ‘tooth whitening secret’. Others assure you that their system is the one that ‘Lewisville dentists don’t want you to know about’. Many contain a link to a page that contains a convincing Grapevine 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 Coppell tooth whitening 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 Titensor Family, Implant, Cosmetic & Sedation Dentistry for advanced cosmetic dentistry and worry-free tooth whitening. You can reach us at 469-293-1040

Celebrity Smiles in Flower Mound

Veneers in Flower Mound How do celebrities obtain brilliant white smiles always ready for the red carpet or a close-up? Do they avoid coffee? Not likely. Every star-watching magazine is full of pictures of famous people holding Starbucks cups. Do they avoid tobacco? Some probably do, but many actors and fashion models with dazzling white smiles are smokers.

Very few people (famous and non-famous alike) with perfect teeth were born with them. (…Sure, no one is born with teeth, but you know what I mean.) Celebrities have perfect smiles because they have undergone cosmetic dentistry.

Guess what? You can also have a smile like a supermodel or television news anchor because Dr. Dr. Steven W. Titensor at Titensor Family, Implant, Cosmetic & Sedation Dentistry has as much experience and training in advanced cosmetic dentistry as any Hollywood cosmetic dentist.

Dr. Titensor has been providing smile makeovers for Flower Mound and Grapevine dental clients since 1986. Tooth whitening is the most affordable cosmetic dentistry procedure in Coppell. Tooth bleaching quickly perks up your teeth and makes you feel like smiling all the time!

Porcelain veneers are used often in Lewisville cosmetic dental offices because they correct myriad problems. Veneers remedy misshapen teeth, cracks and chips, and discolored teeth. Teeth that have been worn down extensively can also be repaired with veneers. Preparing a tooth for a porcelain veneer is minimally invasive. The latest veneers do not require the removal of healthy enamel. Another plus: veneers are usually less expensive than complete crowns!

Tooth bleaching and veneers are just two of the many cosmetic dental procedures performed at Titensor Family, Implant, Cosmetic & Sedation Dentistry. Schedule a Flower Mound cosmetic dental consultation today by calling 469-293-1040. At our office, you will always receive VIP treatment, without the annoying paparazzi!

We look forward to helping you achieve a celebrity smile.

(Note that the celebrities pictured above are not affiliated with our site; they just have great smiles!)
