Dental Bonding: Low Cost Way To Fix Discolored Teeth?

Many of our Buffalo, NY dental patients ask us for a full range of options when it comes to improving discolored teeth.  While the best option can be crowns or ceramic veneers some patients are looking for a more cost effective approach.

We tell our patients looking for an inexpensive, conservative way to improve the coloration of their teeth to consider dental bonding.  Dental bonding simply takes a resin substance and molds or bonds it to teeth to improve spaces, shape of teeth, or color issues.  When dental bonding is used to improve discolored teeth the results can be quite noticeable!


When selecting the resin the dentist will aim to match the color of the existing teeth so that the newly bonded tooth plays nicely with your other teeth.



Unsure whether dental bonding, dental crowns, or ceramic veneers are right for you?  Schedule an appointment with Brighton Family Dent

Got Gaps or Spaces Between Your Teeth in Buffalo, NY?

Many people have spaces and/or gaps between their teeth and have learned to live with them.  But while your friends might tell you they give you “character”, you wish they could experience the inconvenience of food getting caught between their teeth or embarrassment at smiling for family photos.
   
  The truth is that there is no need to live with gaps between your teeth if you don’t want to!  Brighton Family Dental in Tonawanda, NY helps Buffalo patients all the time close the gap!  

  A common dental solution for spaces between teeth is dental bonding.  Dental bonding is a simple, relatively inexpensive procedure that can be as quick as 30-60 minutes per tooth!  

How Dental Bonding To Close Spaces Between Teeth Works

  • The dentist selects a resin that matches your current teeth
  • The tooth to be worked on will have a liquid applied to it to help the resin bond to the tooth
  • The resin is then shaped and applied to the mouth
  • A laser light hardens the resin and strengthens it

Looking to get your teeth 7 to 8 shades whiter in Buffalo, NY?!



     Brighton Family Dental recommends the Ultradent Opalescense Custom Tray Whitening Process!  This is the real deal.  First the patient comes to Brighton Family Dental in Tonawanda, Ny for a 1 hour appointment where a custom tray is made for the patient.  At this time the tray is filled with a special peroxide gel and then applied to the teeth by the dentist.
     
   Afterwards the patient uses the custom tray at home daily for a 2 week period.  At the end of the process the discolored, stained teeth should be 7-8 shades lighter!  The custom tray ensures that the whitening gel is applied properly to the teeth by the dentist and this process will get even better results than off the shelf solutions.
    
  This is also a process we recommend for those who want the best professional application option supervised by a dentist.
Looking to start 2013 with a whiter smile?  


The professional procedure costs only $350.00!  Schedule an appointment in the Buffalo, NY area at Brighton Family Dental at (716) 836-4590.

How Often Should I See A Dentist?


    This is a question that is often asked.  The truth is there is no right answer.  The American Dental Association recommends at least twice a year.  So what is the point of going to the dentist if you already brush your teeth and floss regularly?

    No matter how well you take care of your teeth at home there are very good reasons to get yourself to a dentist.  Your dentist has tools to clean plaque away that your electric toothbrush just can’t clean.  That extra plaque you can’t remove can lead to bacterial buildup which can cause gum disease and tooth decay.  Your dentist also can examine you for oral health problems such as cavities and early stage gum disease.  The treatments for these problems are much easier and more effective when detected early.  Do not wait to find out!

   Ultimately how often you go to the dentist has a lot to do with the health of your gums.  If your gums are healthy and there is no tooth decay you could go every 9 or 12 months.  Some people will go based on their dental insurance coverage.  Brighton Family Dental recommends you go as often as needed based on your health.  There are people who should be at a dentist 3 to 4 times a year.

   Still unsure how often you should go?  Call Brighton Family Dental in the Buffalo, NY area today at (716) 836-4590 for a dental checkup and ask a dentist to assist you in planning the best time to schedule your next follow up visit.

Looking for Affordable Teeth Whitening in Buffalo, NY?


    At Brighton Family Dental we recommend and carry Crest Whitestrips Professional Strength.  These are the strongest, most effective Crest whitening product and allow patients to apply the strips themselves saving time and money.

   How do they work?  The strips contain 14% hydrogen peroxide which is the same active ingredient used at professional bleachings carried out in a dentist office.  The higher percent of hydrogen peroxide than what you can get off the shelf in a supermarket allows for more dramatic teeth whitening and a brighter smile

   Will these work for me at home?

     Patients who will have the most success with this in home teeth whitening treatment are those who have yellowish stains on their teeth.  If the stains are from tetracycline and are grey-brownish we recommend a few in office whitening sessions before using these strips.  
    
For the money and time saved Brighton Family Dental highly recommends patients looking to whiten their teeth economically at home use this product.  To order give us a call at (716) 836-4590 or just stop by our office conveniently located off the 290 highway near the Colvin Exit to pick up some for yourself today!
