Affordable Teeth Whitening?

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 Aesthetic & General Dentistry for advanced cosmetic dentistry and worry-free tooth whitening. You can reach us at 801-374-0070.

Provo Children’s Dental Care and Thumb Sucking

Posted on
Categories: Family Dentistry

Open Bite For years, Provo parents have been warned that thumb-sucking can cause future dental problems for their thumb-loving toddlers. One of these problems is a type of malocclusion called an open bite.

An open bite occurs when the front teeth in the lower and upper jaw have been moved forward; often to the extent that they do not meet when the mouth is closed. In most cases, an open bite has been caused by thumb sucking, but pacifiers and tongue thrusting can also move teeth out of alignment.

Tongue thrusting refers to an abnormal swallowing action in which the tongue is pushed forward during swallowing. Normally, the tongue is on the roof of the mouth and the teeth closed completely when swallowing. A tongue-thrusting habit can develop due to factors other than thumb sucking, though this is a common cause. Allergies, large tonsils, tongue size, jaw angle, muscular problems, frequent sore throats; anything that makes swallowing difficult, can result in a tongue-thrusting habit.

At Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry in Provo, we diagnose bite problems in young Provo dental clients such as underbites, overbites, crossbites and open bites. If dental treatment is started early in a child’s life, many bite issues and their associated problems can be prevented.

Call Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry at 801-374-0070 to schedule a dental examination for your toddler or child. If you need dental treatment for your child and do not have dental plan insurance, talk to us about financing options.

Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry offers comprehensive cosmetic and family dentistry care for families in the greater Provo area. Because our friendly staff puts our youngest patients at ease, your child can grow up without fearing visits to their Provo family dentist.  For our older patients, we also offer cosmetic dentistry services such as dental veneers and teeth whitening.

Let’s Talk About Your Smile

Let’s Talk About Your SmileWe’re Dr. Chris Hammond of Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry. Our office is located at 3575 North 100 East, Suite 200 in Provo. One of the best things about being Orem area dentists is interacting with our patients. During initial dental consultations, we listen carefully to our patient’s short and long term dental goals.

We enjoy discussing options and developing effective treatment plans tailored specifically to each person. Some of our clients desire a total smile makeover. I explain in detail the treatments available including teeth whitening, dental veneers, orthodontia, crown restoration, and dental implants.

If a client is nervous about undergoing treatment, we discuss oral conscious sedation. Oral conscious sedation, sometimes called oral sedation dentistry, is a great option for anxious patients. Dental visits do not have to be painful!

After the treatment has been completed, it is very gratifying for me to see my patient’s reaction to their new smile.

I never get tired of creating dramatic smile transformations for the best clients in Utah!

If you have been considering a smile makeover, let’s talk about your smile. Call Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry at 801-374-0070 to schedule a cosmetic dentistry consultation.

Tooth Whitening Dentistry In Provo

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 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.

Smile Perfection in Provo

Orem low cost teeth whitening

The most difficult part of attaining perfection is finding something to do for an encore. -Author Unknown

We are perfectionists at Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry where we create perfect smiles for our Provo cosmetic dentistry and smile makeover patients.

Here are some of the cosmetic dental procedures we use in smile makeovers at Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry in Provo.

Implant Dentistry
Dental implants are the ultimate tooth restoration available in Provo, Utah or anywhere else, for that matter. A tooth implant consists of a metal post that is inserted into your jawbone. The post replaces the root of the missing tooth.

After a few months, it meshes with your jawbone to provide the strength and integrity of a natural tooth. A base and natural-looking crown is permanently attached to the post. For most Provo patients with missing teeth, it is the preferred restoration. Implants can also be used to attach dentures and partial dentures for no-slip implant/denture combos.

Crowns
A mainstay of Provo cosmetic dentistry, dental crowns are more beautiful than ever. New fabrication technologies and materials have improved the aesthetics and strength of this restorative option.

Veneers
A veneer is a more conservative treatment than a full crown. This is a good choice for Provo patients whose teeth are structurally sound but have unsightly flaws such as discoloration, chips, cracks, or imperfect shape. Are you one of the many Provo teens adults with dark tetracycline stains? Call us today at 801-374-0070 to say goodbye to tetracycline stains!

Inlays/Onlays
Inlays and onlays (indirect fillings) are designed and fabricated using dental CAD/CAM software. These fillings are strong, attractive, and precisely fitted to the cavity.

Tooth Whitening
Teeth whitening is the crowning touch for a perfect smile. (It’s the only thing you need if you are a fortunate Provo man or woman with perfectly-shaped and aligned teeth.) No one in Provo has to live with dull or stained teeth. Call us today for a teeth whitening consultation at our Provo office.

Affordable Orem Tooth Bleaching At Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry, we are all about success. Dr. Chris Hammond’s experience, ability, and commitment to dental excellence result in successful outcomes daily for our dentistry clients. Each team member at Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry shares Dr. Hammond’s passion for success.

For many Provo dental patients, success is a routine check-up that reveals healthy teeth and no cavities. For our cosmetic dental clients, success is a stunning smile makeover using veneers, teeth whitening and tooth-colored fillings. For our Provo patients with a missing tooth, dental implants are used to successfully restore their smile. It is exciting to see implant recipients smile for the first time after receiving their new tooth implant.

We also enjoy completing successful tooth-straightening procedures for youth and adults with Invisalign invisible braces. Though these transformations take longer than one-visit smile re-designs, the results are no less incredible. In fact, our Provo orthodontic patients probably appreciate their straight teeth and beautiful smile more than any of our other patients.

Success sometimes means removing tetracycline stains for a Provo teeth bleaching patient who has been hiding his/her smile for years. Sometimes, success is as simple as helping a nervous patient feel relaxed and comfortable during their visit to our Provo family dental office.

What do you desire for your smile? At Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry, our success depends on your complete smile satisfaction.

Seeking A Relationship In Provo?

Categories: Cosmetic Dentistry

Affordable Orem Cosmetic Dentistry Are you one of the many Orem singles looking for a significant other? Perhaps you recently broke off a dysfunctional partnership and are determined to make a better choice this time around. I’m not talking about a relationship with a girlfriend, boyfriend, or spouse – I’m talking about something equally important – your relationship with your Provo dentist. (…I admit my obvious bias.)

Why did you break up with your last Provo dentist? Did he/she cause you fear, guilt and pain? Perhaps you quit seeing your dentist because it was a love-hate relationship – you hated going and he/she loved making you wait. Was your previous Provo cosmetic dentist insensitive to your concerns? Was he/she a poor communicator? Perhaps you have simply moved into the Provo area and need a new provider.

We are Dr. Chris Hammond of Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry in Provo. I understand that many patients are nervous (okay – downright terrified) about dental visits. I also realize that no client wants to be given a shameful lecture about their oral health.

Though I have years of experience and extensive training on all the latest cosmetic dental procedures, there are some things that can’t be learned in dental school; how to build trusting relationships with your patients and create a relaxed atmosphere in your dental practice. I understand that Provo dental clients can feel very vulnerable as they lie in the chair with their mouth open. My staff and I maintain a friendly environment in our pleasant office. We manage our practice carefully to minimize waiting and provide ample time for each valued patient.

Effective communication is a priority. I make sure my Provo dentistry patients understand their restorative and cosmetic options and answer all their questions before we develop a treatment plan.  We provide cosmetic dentistry services such as teeth whitening and dental implants.

If you are currently seeking a considerate, experienced, and sensitive Provo dentist, I look forward to meeting you. My phone number is 801-374-0070. You can learn more about me at /about.htm

Don’t Settle For An Unattractive Smile In Provo! No one in Provo likes to settle for less than the best, especially with something as important as your smile. Dr. Chris Hammond at Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry in Provo has the solutions for your smile problems.

You don’t have to live with crooked or chipped teeth. Porcelain veneers are an affordable and non-invasive way to correct misshapen or damaged teeth that are otherwise structurally sound. If you have a tooth that is beyond repair, don’t despair. A dental implant may be the answer. Call 801-374-0070 for a tooth implant consultation in our local Provo office.

You don’t have to watch your teeth become duller and more discolored every year, either. Whether you are young, older or somewhere in the middle, teeth whitening works wonders to perk up your smile.

The latest restorative and cosmetic dental procedures are performed right here at Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry in Provo.

I have been practicing dentistry since 1996. I have noticed that my Provo patients who receive dental makeovers have only one regret; they wish they would have done it sooner! Provo clients with dazzling new smiles are surprised by how much confidence they gain. Because they love their smile, they smile more often.
