Whatever your needs are, we’re here to make your dreams for your smile come true. We invite you to visit our Gilbert practice to get started today.

What Are Your Cosmetic Dentistry Options for a Brighter Holiday Smile?

The following are some cosmetic dentistry options we offer to help unlock your brightest holiday smile:

Teeth Whitening: We are happy to offer Opalescence Boost, an in-office whitening system for patients looking for immediate results. The professional-grade whitening gel is chemically activated, lifting most stains and discoloration without the need for hot or uncomfortable lights. Opalescence Boost’s gel formulation contains a potassium nitrate and fluoride blend (PF), minimizing tooth sensitivity during treatment while strengthening your tooth enamel. Just one short visit to our Gilbert practice can leave your teeth several shades whiter and brighter.

If you prefer to brighten your teeth from the comfort of your home, we can provide you with Opalescence Go whitening. The innovative at-home system features whitening gels in various concentrations and custom-fitted trays, providing a fully customized experience. With Opalescence Go, you can maintain your smile’s brightness this holiday season and all year long.

Dental Veneers: If you have severe discoloration that does not respond as desired to whitening treatments, dental veneers may be right for you. These ultra-thin shells are bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth, masking tooth flaws and discoloration. In addition to brightening your smile, veneers can improve the color, size, shape, and overall appearance of your teeth, delivering virtually flawless results.

At Sonoran Vista Dentistry, we offer porcelain and composite veneers that closely match the color and texture of your natural tooth enamel. Porcelain veneers provide beautifully lifelike translucency, stain resistance, and superior durability, leaving you with long-lasting results. Composite veneers, on the other hand, offer a more cost-effective option, allowing for quick enhancements with minimal tooth preparation and natural-looking results.

Cosmetic Bonding: Bonding offers a quick and non-invasive solution to brighten and refine your smile in a single office visit. The procedure involves applying a tooth-colored composite resin to your tooth surfaces and skillfully and artistically sculpting it to match the shape and appearance of your natural teeth.

In addition to correcting tooth discoloration and improving your smile’s brightness, dental bonding can help address minor tooth imperfections, such as chips, small gaps, or slightly misshapen teeth. The cosmetic dental procedure does not require the removal of any tooth structure, making it a conservative solution to transform your smile.

How Can You Maintain Your Bright Holiday Smile?

The following are tips to help you maintain your smile’s brilliance during the holiday season and beyond:

• Maintain Good Oral Hygiene Practices: Brush your teeth at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and floss daily to prevent plaque from accumulating and surface stains from taking hold.
• Watch Your Diet: Be mindful of dark foods and beverages that can stain your teeth once again, such as red wine, coffee, tea, dark sodas, and tomato-based dishes.
• Rinse After Consuming Staining Foods: If you indulge in dark foods that can cause staining, rinse with water to prevent prolonged contact with your tooth enamel.
• Avoid Tobacco Products: Aside from being one of the leading causes of dulling, staining, and discoloration, smoking and using tobacco products can increase your risk of a host of oral and overall health complications.
• Drink Plenty of Water: Drinking plenty of water naturally washes away plaque and food debris and reduces acidity in your mouth, helping keep your smile cleaner, whiter, and brighter.
• Chew Sugar-Free Gum: Sugar-free gum, especially varieties containing xylitol, can help stimulate saliva production, flushing away food particles and plaque, and preventing new stains from setting.
• Keep Up with Dental Exams and Cleanings: During your twice-yearly dental exams and cleanings, our team at Sonoran Vista Dentistry will gently remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains, helping you maintain a clean, healthy, and radiant smile.
