Bright Smiles In Utah County

Friday, December 23rd, 2011

Bright Smiles In Palmer

Hello Utah County! Do you want brighter, whiter teeth? Most Utah County folks notice their teeth dulling as the years go by, but some foods, drinks, and even mouthwashes can stain teeth at any age.

Over-the-counter tooth whitening products like kits, strips, or toothpastes may slightly lighten stains, but for a truly brilliant smile, Drs. Hammond & Ellis can help!

If you have dental veneers, bonding, or bridges, teeth whitening bleach will not lighten the stains and your whitened natural teeth will make your dental work look even duller in comparison. At Hammond & Ellis Aesthetic & General Dentistry, we can recommend new cosmetic dental work, including veneers or bondings, if these have aged and discolored.

Remember, anything that can stain a white tee shirt can stain teeth.

Fortunately, brushing after meals can keep stains at bay, however with acidic foods or drinks, just rinse your mouth with water. Brushing right away can erode enamel, causing thinner teeth as we age.

Utah County in-office Zoom whitening takes about an hour and bleaches teeth to a whiter-than-ever brilliance. Take-home professional teeth whitening kits are also available at Hammond & Ellis Aesthetic & General Dentistry and can produce the best results over time.

For more information on getting a younger and brighter smile, contact our caring staff for a smile brightening consultation today!

Provo Teeth Whitening and Veneers

Friday, December 2nd, 2011

Provo Teeth Whitening and Veneers Teeth whitening is a popular cosmetic dentistry procedure in Provo and throughout the state.

Numerous ads for whitening products in our local Provo media contain terms such as ‘white brite’, ‘22 carbamide peroxide’ and ‘peroxide teeth’. They look tempting, but how do you separate tooth bleaching fact from fiction?

First, and especially for our local Provo patients, we recommend talking to Drs. Hammond & Ellis DMD at Hammond & Ellis Aesthetic & General Dentistry. Just because teeth whitening products are readily available in Provo, it doesn’t mean they are all safe or appropriate for every person. Getting a professional opinion is a good first step.

Don’t be fooled by smile whitening hype and risk damage, especially if you need tetracycline teeth whitening. If you have existing cosmetic dental work such as dental crowns, bonding, partial dentures or bridge work, it is especially important to talk to a Provo dental professional about worry free dentistry teeth whitening.

Teeth whitening kits are not the only way to quickly improve your smile in Provo. Many of your neighbors have benefited from porcelain veneers. There are several brands of veneers such as Lumineers by Cerinate, da Vinci and Mac. We can help you decide on which is best for you.

Veneers are sometimes called ‘instant orthodontics’ because they can correct tooth misalignment and gaps as well as provide instant teeth whitening.

Porcelain veneers can also fix chipped teeth and cover stains. The vast majority of Provo veneer recipients are extremely pleased with the results.

Affordable Teeth Whitening?

Friday, November 11th, 2011

Affordable Orem Tooth Whitening If you are like most Orem web users, you have probably seen the multitude of ads for ‘free teeth whitening kits’.

Some show a ‘real Orem mom’ who discovered a ‘tooth whitening secret’. Others assure you that their system is the one that ‘Orem dentists don’t want you to know about’. Many contain a link to a page that contains a convincing tooth whitening testimonial. They bolster their legitimacy by aligning themselves with respected companies such as CNN, USA Today and Forbes.

Unfortunately, most of these are rip-offs. In a recent article, the Better Business Bureau explains the scam:

The countless Web sites for various teeth whitening products claim to offer a no-risk, money back guarantee, free trial of the product. To sign up, customers must provide a credit or debit card number to cover shipping. Complainants to BBB state that they are billed before their trial ends and continue to be billed after they have told the company they want to cancel.

Complainants also may find mystery charges for other companies and services that they didn’t realize they were signing up for with their ‘free’ trial.

The BBB has received complaints about the following company/product names:

  • Dazzle White
  • White Smile
  • Teeth Smile
  • Dazzle Smile
  • Ivory White
  • Max White
  • My Whitening
  • Gleaming White Smile
  • Advanced Wellness Research

Don’t trust your smile to an internet scammer. Your Orem cosmetic dental office is the only place for safe whitening options. Ask us about our Zoom whitening procedure. You don’t want to take a chance with your credit card number or your tooth enamel! Call us at Hammond & Ellis Aesthetic & General Dentistry for advanced cosmetic dentistry and worry-free tooth whitening. You can reach us at 801-657-5633.

Tooth Whitening Dentistry In Provo

Friday, June 10th, 2011

Tooth Whitening Dentistry In Provo

Tooth whitening has really taken off in Provo. It has become a popular dental procedure and can provide excellent results if done properly.

There are a lot of options when it comes to tooth whitening. You can choose from a selection of over-the-counter options that you can get at your local pharmacy, or can go to a professional to get a complete tooth whitening solution.

It is a good idea to consult with your dentist before getting tooth whitening, regardless of whether you choose to use an over-the-counter product. Your dentist will be able to help you understand the results you can expect, and can help recommend a product that will work for you.

There are many variables when it comes to tooth whitening. The color of your teeth at the beginning of your treatment will make a difference for your ending result. Different tooth whitening treatments will each produce a different result. Your Provo cosmetic dentist has experience with tooth coloration and the types of treatments available.

In many cases, your Provo dentist will be able to provide you with a tooth whitening solution that you can take home with you. In some cases, your Provo dentist may recommend a professional treatment that is done at the dentist’s office such as Zoom whitening.

Professional tooth whitening can produce dramatic results in a single treatment, and is often done over a few treatments.

Tooth whitening is less expensive than it was in the earlier days of tooth whitening technology. Today, tooth whitening treatments are very affordable, and don’t take the time they used to.

If you are interested in a tooth whitening consultation in the Provo area, please call Hammond & Ellis Aesthetic & General Dentistry and make an appointment to see me. We will be happy to give you a check up, assess your tooth color, and recommend teeth whitening treatments that may be right for you.

Which Tooth Whitener Works Best in Provo?

Thursday, January 13th, 2011

Dazzling White Teeth in Provo What is the best professional tooth whitening system to use in Utah County?

There are two types of dentist-supervised tooth whitening systems available in Utah County. In order to determine the best choice for your teeth, schedule, and budget, you need to understand the differences in the systems.

Both systems use a bleaching agent containing peroxide. Utah County dentists who offer professional in-office tooth bleaching use a whitening gel with a high concentration of peroxide. Some Utah County in-office tooth whitening systems use a light that causes the tooth bleaching agent to work faster. There are different types of lights including halogen, plasma arc, metal halide and laser; but they all work the same way. When the light is shined at teeth on which the whitening gel is applied, it causes the peroxide to break down into free radicals, which are active oxygen molecules. This process naturally occurs without the light, but the light makes it happen faster. That is why you can get whiter teeth in just one hour with Zoom whitening.

Most Utah County cosmetic dentists also offer take home tooth whitening systems. Although these procedures take a bit longer to work, they achieve the same dramatic results. For many Utah County clients, this is the most affordable teeth whitening system.

At Hammond & Ellis Aesthetic & General Dentistry, we offer safe and effective teeth whitening. Our Utah County cosmetic dentistry patients can’t believe how great their teeth look when they remove the stains and restore the brightness. If you would like to learn why our system is superior, schedule a consultation by calling our office at 801-657-5633.

Provo Whiter Smiles

Thursday, December 30th, 2010

Provo Pediatric Dentistry Wishing for a Provo whiter smile but not sure how to get it? New to Utah smile tooth whitening lingo? At Hammond & Ellis Aesthetic & General Dentistry, we educate clients on the variety of Provo affordable teeth whiting treatments; from whitening trays to Provo teeth bleaching to Provo opalescence whitening. We do smile whitening every day.

Almost every toothpaste claims to whiten teeth, but as we age our teeth gradually turn yellow or gray, despite all the whitening toothpastes we use regularly. Tooth enamel, while one of the hardest substances in the body, is porous. Over time, the food and drinks that comes in contact with our teeth cause staining and discoloration. You probably have already discovered that a toothbrush cannot clean these microscopic pores.

Carbamide peroxide and hydrogen peroxide are the two main smile whitening ingredients. They can penetrate the outer layer of your teeth to remove the build-up, and help restore whitening to teeth. Call Hammond & Ellis Aesthetic & General Dentistry at 801-657-5633 to schedule an appointment and we will explain the difference between these teeth whitening ingredients and how they may affect your Provo smile whitening results.

Provo at-home teeth whitening products are probably not a good choice if you have crowns or dental veneers. You could end up with extremely uneven results or possible damage to your existing cosmetic dentistry.

We know the best Provo teeth bleaching options and can recommend the perfect white smile solution for you.  We also offer professional in-office Zoom whitening.

At Hammond & Ellis Aesthetic & General Dentistry, we hope to see you soon. Give us a call at 801-657-5633.

Affordable Provo Cosmetic Dentistry

Friday, May 7th, 2010

Affordable Provo Cosmetic Dentistry Will your Utah dental insurance cover Provo cosmetic dental procedures? Many Orem dentistry clients assume their dental insurance won’t cover any cosmetic dental procedures. This is probably true for tooth bleaching in Provo or first time dental bonding. However, many Utah dental insurance plans and dental supplemental plans cover orthodontia and any treatment needed to repair damage from an injury. Medical insurance and worker’s compensation plans may also cover injury treatment.

Some Orem dental insurance plans cover replacement porcelain veneers in certain circumstances. Check with your carrier for benefit specifics if you need replacement veneers due to deterioration. We can then discuss dental treatment options such as replacement veneers or porcelain crowns. When the work is completed, we may be able to help you submit your dental claim form if your plan requires one.

If you are in need of any kind of dental treatment; from a cleaning to major restorative work, come in to Hammond & Ellis Aesthetic & General Dentistry on 3575 North 100 East, Suite 200, Provo UT. You can meet our friendly and professional team, undergo a thorough evaluation and discuss financing options. Even if you do not have Utah dental insurance, let’s talk. Top quality Provo dental treatment is a wise investment and may be more affordable than you think.

Drs. Chris Hammond & Chad Ellis of Hammond & Ellis Aesthetic & General Dentistry has been proudly serving Provo and Orem residents since 1996. Hammond & Ellis Aesthetic & General Dentistry is a network dental provider for many Utah dental insurance plans.
