Teeth Whitening in Easton, PA

Your teeth can become stained or discolored, even if you focus on keeping them clean. Things like drinking wine and coffee, or smoking cigarettes can stain your teeth over an extended period of time. If your teeth have lost their luster, it might be time to get teeth whitening performed. Our Lehigh Valley Smiles dental office offers the tray whitening system for brightening your teeth, which provides excellent results and is done as part of a two-step process.

The first step of tray whitening is taking impressions of your teeth to be used for creating custom trays. While it takes about 2-3 weeks for the trays to be fabricated, they are reusable in case you want to get teeth whitening repeated in the future. Once the trays are ready, patients return to our Easton, PA dental practice where we fill the trays with a whitening gel and place the trays on the teeth. The tray is worn for a specific period of time, and we ask patients to repeat the process over several days.

Once the tray whitening process is complete, the teeth are 4-8 shades whiter and patients are given the trays and extra whitening gel to use again when they choose to. If you are looking for whiter teeth, call dentist Dr. Alan Dilsaver at 610-252-7414 to schedule an appointment. Visit www.lehighvalleysmiles.net.

A Beautiful Smile is a Clean Smile

Regular checkups and dental cleanings are a part of any good oral hygiene routine, and at Lehigh Valley Smiles we provide dental care services of the highest quality to ensure that our patients’ smiles stay healthy year after year.

Dental cleanings work to remove both plaque and tartar from the teeth. A soft and sticky film of bacteria, plaque can build up on your teeth despite regular brushing and flossing. Because teeth are constantly bathed in saliva, which contains calcium and other substances to strengthen and protect teeth, tartar or calcium deposits can also build up over time. Tartar can only be removed with the help of a dentist. If it is not removed and is allowed to accumulate, bacteria will be provided a perfect environment and thrive on the gums and teeth, which can cause cavities, infection and gum disease.

While good for maintaining oral health between dentist visits, at-home brushing and cleaning are not enough to make sure teeth stay clean; regular dental cleanings are required. We will clean and polish your teeth, leaving the surface clean and smooth. The smoother the teeth, the more difficult it is for bacteria to stick to them and the more effective at-home brushing will be.

We recommend checkups and dental cleanings every six months for optimum oral health. To schedule an appointment in Easton, PA, call (610) 252-7414. For more information, visit www.LehighValleySmiles.net.

Oral Conscious Sedation

Here at Lehigh Valley Smiles, we take our patient’s comfort level very seriously, which is why we offer oral conscious sedation. This type of sedation does not cause patients to be completely unconscious, but takes off the edge, relieves anxiety, and helps them get through the procedure in the easiest way possible. Our patients like the feeling of relaxation and the lower cost of this type of sedation when compared to other forms of sedation.

Our patients realize the following benefits by choosing oral conscious sedation:

• They feel relaxed and at ease during procedures.
• They are more likely to get necessary dental treatments.
• It is less expensive than other types of sedation.
• Oral conscious sedation is safe and effective.
• Longer dental procedures go by more quickly.

With oral conscious sedation, we have found that our patients are less likely to put off essential dental procedures as a result of anxiety. They understand the dental treatment will go more smoothly and it makes them more willing to schedule prompt appointments.

If you struggle with dental anxiety, be sure to call our dentist Dr. Alan Dilsaver at 610-252-7414 to discuss the possibility of oral conscious sedation.
