If the gift of a healthy white smile is on the top of your Christmas-Wish-List take heart; you don’t have to wait for Santa – as improving the shape, colour, and health of your teeth is available to you year round. Dr. Naheed Daya of South Trail Crossing Dental loves helping patients achieve the smile they’ve always wanted and explains that there’s plenty of opportunity to create the smile of your dreams in time for Christmas Day celebrations.
Interestingly more than 50% of our adult population isn’t completely satisfied with their smile. Dissatisfaction ranges from crooked teeth, a gummy smile, missing teeth, or teeth that are dark and stained – but there’s good news as these dental concerns can be corrected quickly, painlessly, and affordably by your SE Calgary Dentist. The dentists at South Trail Crossing Dental are able to provide patients with treatment solutions that address all manner of dental issues – Dr. Naheed Daya has witnessed the easy straightening of crooked teeth thanks to the amazing technology of Invisalign Clear Retainers. Invisalign is an orthodontic system that was created by Align Technology and has been creating beautiful smiles around the world since 2000. The clear, removable retainers move teeth by applying gentle force – with the amount of force changing with each change in appliance. Suitable for both teenagers and adults, Invisalign is an affordable orthodontic system that may be used to straighten teeth when orthodontic brackets and archwires are not required.
Along with the use of Invisalign, this SE Calgary Dentist also offers patients treatment solutions for whitening teeth. As we age our teeth naturally darken, and if you’re a fan of coffee and red wine you may see your white smile fade even faster – and if smoking is one of your daily habits you can be sure that it won’t be long before your teeth are revealing nicotine stains. But there are ways of whitening teeth that can restore a youthful appearance. The first step is always to see your Dentist in SE Calgary for a cleaning, as often the darkening of teeth is due to a buildup of plaque and tartar. There’s no point in trying to whiten teeth that are covered in plaque as the bleaching agent won’t be able to get at the tooth surface due to the plaque buildup. For many patients they are surprised at how white their teeth look after seeing a hygienist and realize that they don’t need to do any further treatment. However, there are some patients who require the benefits of a teeth whitening system to get their teeth to a level of brightness that they are happy with.
Teeth Whitening is an easy and safe procedure that can lighten teeth three to six shades, depending on the system you choose to use. Home Bleaching Kits can be highly effective and don’t require multiple dental appointments as you can whiten your teeth in the comfort of your own home. The effects of teeth whitening don’t last forever but many patients enjoy whiter teeth for a good year or more before having to touch them up. Having custom trays made allows patients to whiten their teeth as much as they like and as often as they like, with the bleaching gel being the only thing they have to re-purchase.
