When you use tooth whitening products from a pharmacy or supermarket, theres no guarantee that youll get the results that youre looking for. Some products could also irritate your gums if they arent used properly. The better option is to have a professional take care of the job. Learn about the advantages of teeth whitening by a Carson City, NV dentist who is experienced in cosmetic dentistry, like Dr. Marvel.
Professional tooth whitening is an important cosmetic procedure offered by dentists. Its important because you can have the straightest and most perfectly shaped smile, but it doesnt matter much if your teeth are yellow or discolored. A survey by the American Association of Orthodontists found that close to 90 percent of patients ask their dentists about in-office tooth whitening, which is also called chairside bleaching.
Marvel Dental is excited to announce the opportunity to bring in-office aesthetic procedures to our patients. We are now offering therapeutic and cosmetic Botox injections as well as Dermal Filler injections to help you look and feel your best. We would love the opportunity to assist you in obtaining the look you desire with safe and effective treatments.
