Teeth Whitening in Dallas, Texas

What Causes Tooth Discoloration?

Every day, your teeth get a thorough workout. While the top layers are made of durable enamel and dentin, they can become discolored by wine, tea, coffee, or tobacco. Even medication, antibiotics, excessive fluoride, and aging can cause stains and discoloration.

Although you will find a vast variety of over-the-counter home teeth whitening products on the market, the professional Zoom! Whitening system elicits far greater results. If you want whiter teeth, ask us about Zoom! Whitening today. First you’ll need a thorough examination so we can tell you if this is the right teeth whitening system for you.

The Zoom! Whitening Process

Dr. Mitchell uses Zoom! Whitening to lighten smiles up to eight shades in about an hour. Millions of people across the globe have benefited from this safe, effective bleaching system, and you can, too. We’ll apply Zoom! Whitening gel to your teeth and activate it with a special light. The gel penetrates tooth enamel and dentin to melt away stains and discolorations that have been caused by food, beverages, tobacco, medications, and even the natural aging process. You’ll leave our office with the vividly white smile you’ve always wanted. Custom-made teeth whitening trays are available for at-home touch-ups as well.

If you’d prefer to whiten your teeth more gradually, custom-made trays are also available. These trays are molded to fit your teeth so that you won’t experience slipping and spotting or have unbleached back teeth. Simply fill the trays with our professional-grade teeth whitening solution and wear them daily for one to two weeks or until your teeth reach your desired level of whiteness. At-home trays can be used in conjunction with Zoom! Whitening so that you can maintain your dazzling smile without more trips to the dentist.

Call today to schedule your Complimentary Consult to see if Whitening is for you. 972-233-1311

The Benefits of Veneers

September 19, 2014

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , , — @ 8:56 am

Porcelain veneers are thin pieces of porcelain used to recreate the natural look of teeth, while also providing strength and resilience comparable to natural tooth enamel. It is often the material of choice for those looking to make slight position alterations, or to change tooth shape, size, and/or color.

Since veneers are individually sculpted for each patient, it is nearly impossible to tell the difference between a veneer and a natural tooth. Unlike natural teeth, custom-made veneers resist coffee and tea stains, and cigarette smoke because they are made of high-tech materials.

 With veneers—as opposed to crowns—your natural teeth remain largely intact with only a minimal amount being altered to fit the veneer.
For teeth that resist whitening, veneers can make even the darkest teeth appear bright white.
Dentists may also recommend veneers to quickly fix minor twists, overlaps, and small gaps.

How to freshen your breath for National Dental Hygiene Month

October 9, 2013

Did you know October is National Dental Hygiene Month? It’s the perfect time to spruce up your smile and get fresh breath. Think of it as a tune up for your teeth!

Maintaining a bright smile is not the only concern when it comes to a healthy mouth. Your breath can be a warning sign that something is off – or that you had onions for lunch. Dr. Robert Mitchell is here to share his top tips on How to freshen your breath for National Dental Hygiene Month.

1. Brush Twice a Day

Most people find it’s easiest to do right when you wake up and before hitting the sheets.

2. Floss Daily

Keep a container of floss where you end up sitting the most. Your nightstand, coffee table or desk can be great spots!

3. Clean Your Tongue

A quick scrub with your toothbrush while you are brushing your teeth should be all that you need!

4. Drink Water

Water is a great way to give your mouth a quick rinse, in addition to keeping your body hydrated. When your mouth gets dry, the bacteria in your mouth just sits around waiting to be rinsed away.

5. Watch What You Eat

Be careful what you are eating. A high protein, low carbohydrate diet may be great for your waist size, but it can cause your body to burn fat instead of sugar which is known to cause stinky breath.

6. Go green.

Green tea and green herbs are great for reducing bad breath. Munch some during the day to temporarily freshen breath.

7. Consume More Vitamin C

Vitamin C is not only the ultimate cold fighter. Foods high in Vitamin C can also reduce the appearance of bad breath. Try melons, berries and citrus fruits.

How are you going to keep your breath in tiptop shape? Our Dallas dental experts are here to help! If these easy tips are not enough to get your breath smelling fresh, contact us today at (972) 233-1311! Dr. Robert Mitchell can help you find the underlying issues.

Look Your Best for that Special Occasion!

February 21, 2013

Most people think of hair, makeup and the perfect outfit, but our experts at Dallas’ own Dr. Robert Mitchell’s office want to remind you: Don’t forget about your smile! If you’re self-conscious about cracked, broken, stained, decayed or worn teeth, there are steps you can take to get the perfect smile for your big event!

Teeth Whitening

A bright smile projects confidence and youthfulness. Unfortunately, coffee, tea, tobacco, wine and other substances can leave teeth yellowed and stained. Professional whitening treatments can restore a dazzling smile and Zoom Whitening treatments by Dr. Robert Mitchell can be a fantastic option.

Orthodontics

Straight teeth create a beautiful smile and correcting crowded, crooked or open spaces between teeth can be done faster than you might think. There are a host of treatment options Dr. Robert Mitchell can provide to patients. Schedule an appointment today to talk about options like Invisalign.

Bonding

Bonding makes it possible to lighten stains, close gaps and repair fractured teeth. This quick and simple procedure can usually be completed without anesthetic. Using cosmetic bonding, Dr. Robert Mitchell can enhance your smile for that special occasion.

Veneers

Beautiful and long-lasting, veneers are a smart and stylish solution to the problem of cracked, broken, misshapen or otherwise flawed teeth. A simple, conservative procedure in which veneers are carefully placed over existing tooth structure, Dr. Robert Mitchell can create perfectly shaped, contoured smiles in just a few office visits. Every patient’s case is unique, and our experts can tailor wonderful results to your specific needs.

Texans, if you have an upcoming important occasion that requires you look your best, don’t hesitate to call Dr. Robert Mitchell for an appointment. We would love to help you put your best smile forward!

Resolve to have a Healthier Smile in 2013

January 15, 2013

One of the best ways to get a beautiful, healthy smile is to brush at least twice a day. But what else can you do to improve the health and appearance of your teeth? Here are Dallas cosmetic dentist Dr. Robert Mitchell’s Top 10 resolutions for a healthier smile in 2013!

  1. Eat Healthy Foods: An apple a day keeps cavities away. A balanced diet is the best way to make a healthier you and that includes improving your smile. You can help prevent tooth decay by eating lots of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low-fat dairy products and lean proteins. Go easy when eating acidic fruits though, like the Texas state fruit, red grapefruit.
  2. Make an Appointment: When was your last dental check-up? You should see your dentist and have your teeth cleaned at least twice a year. This not only cleans teeth of tartar and plaque, but allows for early detection of problems that can ruin a great smile. Even in between visits can be a great time for a whitening treatment!
  3. Get Fit: Happiness and exercise are both linked with a boost to the immune system and with the release of endorphins. Exercise increases energy, gives you a sense of accomplishment when personal fitness goals are met and instills a sense of pride with an improved physical appearance. That’s something to smile about!
  4. Stop Biting Nails: Nail biting not only wreaks havoc on your manicure, but can destroy a beautiful smile. According to the Academy of General Dentistry, nail biting can crack, chip or wear down front teeth.
  5. Help Others: One of the best ways to improve your smile is to bring a smile to others. Make this your year to volunteer and help others.
  6. Quit Smoking: Smoking and tobacco products can ruin your smile by giving you bad breath, stained teeth, difficulties in correcting cosmetic dental problems, gum disease and oral cancer.
  7. Take a Trip: Traveling somewhere wonderful can improve your smile. We recommend our own perfect city: Dallas, of course! But our whole state is a traveler’s paradise, considering it is the 2nd largest state in the U.S.!
  8. Spend More Time with Family and Friends: Work, stress and the daily grind can steal your smile. Get back to what’s important and vow to spend more time with loved ones!
  9. Have Fun: Improve your smile by smiling more. Watch a funny movie, see a comedian or laugh about memories with an old friend!
  10. Chew More Gum: It’s true! Chewing gum can improve your smile, provided it is sugar-free. According to the ADA, research shows that chewing sugarless gum for 20 minutes following meals can help prevent tooth decay.

Dr. Mitchell is hopeful these resolutions improve your smile in 2013! Do you have another resolution or a creative way to achieve your goals in 2013? Share it with us!
