Extrinsic Stains

Beverages that contain pigments such as tea, coffee, and wine, can leave our smiles looking lackluster if we consume them on a daily basis. When our smiles don’t shine, this may leave us with a diminished self-esteem. Our doctors at Alta Loma Dental Care can revive your smile with professional whitening treatment and remove extrinsic stains instantly.

Extrinsic tooth stains develop on the outer surface of the tooth enamel and are easier to eliminate than stains that reside underneath. Tooth discoloration isn’t typically something to be worried about but may require an improvement in your oral hygiene routine. After scheduling a consultation with one of our doctors to see which whitening option is right for you, you can begin your journey to a whiter smile.

If you have questions or concerns about the appearance of your smile, please give us a call. To learn about services we provide at our practice, visit www.altalomadentalcare.com for more information.

Patients Restore Their Smiles With Dental Veneers

Patients Restore Their Smiles With Dental Veneers

Dental veneers in Alta Loma, CA offer our patients the option of improving their smile. Veneers are made of thin pieces of porcelain that cover their teeth and correct a variety of imperfections, such as discoloration, gaps or spaces, cracks, or misshapen teeth. They are designed to look like the patient’s other teeth without standing out, and are completed in about two to three weeks from beginning to end.

 

The process of getting dental veneers here at Alta Loma Dental Care is as follows:

 

1. We prepare the teeth by cleaning them to remove decay, then filing them down to make room for the veneers.

2. Impressions are made of the teeth, which are then sent to the lab.

3. In about two weeks, our patient returns to our Alta Loma Dental Care office, where they have the veneers bonded to their teeth.

4. As the final step, the veneers are polished.

 

Veneers make a considerable difference in the patient’s self confidence and self esteem, by improving their smile. It is a simple process that only takes a few weeks and gives them a lasting and beautiful smile.

 

Call us at 909-296-7920 to schedule a consultation with Alta Loma, CA dentist Dr. Michael Kim for veneers.

Utilize Our Tray Teeth Whitening For a Celebrity Smile

Everyone wants to have pearly whites, and by visiting Alta Loma Dental Care in Alta Loma, CA, you have the opportunity to get them. Because your teeth can become stained or discolored from many factors, such as smoking cigarettes, drinking tea, coffee or wine, or eating high amounts of sugar, your smile might not be at its whitest and brightest. While brushing daily is essential for good oral health, it doesn’t always help correct the discoloration or staining problem. Fortunately, teeth whitening in our office can give you teeth up to eight shades whiter.

 

We use the tray whitening system, which is a simple way to whiten your teeth. We even give our patients custom trays to bring home for future use. The trays are different from store-bought whitening systems, because they are custom made based on impressions of the patient’s teeth. Once the trays are ready, we apply a whitening gel to them, then place them firmly over the patient’s teeth. They stay on for several minutes, and the process is repeated over a couple days.

 

The end result is much whiter teeth and reusable trays the patient can use for touch-ups. Teeth whitening in Alta Loma, CA has never been easier than using our trays.

Call dentist Dr. Michael Kim (909) 296-7920 to find out more about this teeth whitening option.
