Staten Island Tooth Whitening For Whiter Smiles

San Diego Tooth Whitening For Whiter Smiles When it comes to cosmetic dentistry in Staten Island, tooth whitening is one of the easiest and rewarding procedures. We understand that it can be overwhelming with all of the tooth whitening options. How do you find a good tooth whitening procedure?

Visiting your local Staten Island dentist is a good start!

Whitening your teeth is an advanced dental procedure that you won’t want to get wrong on the first try. That’s why I always recommend a visit to Staten Island Dental Care (our dental practice) to visit with me and talk about it. I’m Dr. Frederick Hecht, and as a Staten Island Dentist, I am not only experienced with tooth whitening procedures, but care about your teeth and your smile. I can recommend tooth whitening procedures based on your age, dental hygiene, and personal goals.

Most importantly, I can help you assess the condition of your teeth and help you understand what to expect and how to care for your teeth once they are whitened.

Many of our Staten Island patients ask about tooth whitening. In fact it is one of our most popular dental procedures. There are many tooth whitening options, ranging from the kind you will perform at home to professional tooth whitening procedures we can do right here in our Staten Island dental office. The best one for you can depend on many factors, starting with the color of your teeth, and how white you want your teeth to be after the procedure.

Consulting with your Staten Island dentist before you begin a tooth whitening procedure has several advantages. Among the advantages are professional care, experienced advice, and reliable recommendations for which tooth whitening procedure will be best for you.

If you are contemplating a tooth whitening procedure, and you live in Staten Island, NY, come in and visit with me for just a few minutes. We’ll discuss your goals, the options that are available to you, and the results you can expect. You will be much happier with your results with the advantage of professional advice.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Let’s Talk About Your Smile

Let’s Talk About Your Smile I’m Dr. Frederick Hecht of Staten Island Dental Care. My office is located at 1520 Richmond Ave., Staten Island, New York 10314 . One of the best things about being a New York area dentist is interacting with my patients. During initial dental consultations, I listen carefully to my patient’s short and long term dental goals.

I enjoy discussing options and developing effective treatment plans tailored specifically to each person. Some of my clients desire a total smile makeover. I explain in detail the treatments available including teeth whitening, dental veneers, orthodontia, crown restoration, and dental implants.

If a client is nervous about undergoing treatment, we discuss oral conscious sedation. Oral conscious sedation, sometimes called oral sedation dentistry, is a great option for anxious patients. Dental visits do not have to be painful!

After the treatment has been completed, it is very gratifying for me to see my patient’s reaction to their new smile.

I never get tired of creating dramatic smile transformations for the best clients in New York!

If you have been considering a smile makeover, let’s talk about your smile. Call Staten Island Dental Care to schedule a cosmetic dentistry consultation.

Affordable Staten Island Cosmetic Dentistry

Affordable San Diego Cosmetic DentistryWill your New York dental insurance cover Staten Island cosmetic dental procedures? Many Staten Island dentistry clients assume their dental insurance won’t cover any cosmetic dental procedures. This is probably true for tooth whitening or first time dental bonding. However, many New York dental insurance plans and dental supplemental plans cover orthodontia and any treatment needed to repair damage from an injury. Medical insurance and worker’s compensation plans may also cover injury treatment.

Some New York dental insurance plans cover replacement dental veneers in certain circumstances. Check with your carrier for benefit specifics if you need replacement veneers due to deterioration. We can then discuss dental treatment options such as replacement veneers or porcelain crowns. When the work is completed, we may be able to help you submit your dental claim form if your plan requires one.

If you are in need of any kind of dental treatment; from a cleaning to major restorative work, come in to Staten Island Dental care on 1520 Richmond Ave., Staten Island, NY 10314. You can meet our very comfortable and friendly team, undergo a thorough evaluation and discuss financing options. Even if you do not have New York dental insurance, let’s talk. Top quality Staten Island dental treatment is a wise investment and may be more affordable than you think.

Staten Island Whiter Smiles

Staten Island Pediatric Dentistry Wishing for a Staten Island whiter smile but not sure how to get it? New to New York smile tooth whitening lingo? At Staten Island Dental Care, we educate clients on the variety of affordable teeth whiting treatments; from whitening trays to teeth bleaching to opalescence 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 Staten Island Dental Care at (718) 761-5757 to schedule an appointment and we will explain the difference between these tooth bleaching ingredients and how they may affect your Staten Island smile whitening results.

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

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

At Staten Island Dental Care, we hope to see you soon. Give us a call at (718) 761-5757.

Professional Teeth Whitening

Professional Teeth Whitening at Staten Island 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 Staten Island 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 (718) 761-5757.

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.

All of the whitening methods may cause tooth pain or sensitivity, but this usually goes away in a few days. If you have dental crowns, porcelain veneers or bonding, it is important to talk to your dentist before choosing a whitening method.  Call our Staten Island dental office today for more information.
