Transform Your Smile with Professional Teeth Whitening from Papageorgiou Dental Associates

November 29, 2012

What’s the number one thing keeping you from smiling with confidence? For many patients, embarrassing teeth stains are the answer to that question. Teeth stains are commonly caused by foods, beverages, aging, tobacco use, and even some medications. But you don’t just have to live with teeth stains; you can overcome them with professional teeth whitening from Papageorgiou Dental Associates.

Dr. Christina Papageorgiou’s Natick dental office offers two great options for you to take advantage of. With each one, we can help you come closer to your goal of a bright, dazzling smile. Our options include:

Kör Whitening

As one of the most effective in-office teeth whitening systems available, Kör can help you achieve safe, beautiful results in about an hour. What’s more, because of the unique way Kör whitens teeth, patients who’ve experienced sensitivity in the past can look forward to experiencing little to no sensitivity at all with this revolutionary method.

NiteWhite and DayWhite

If you’d prefer to whiten your smile in the comfort of your own home, or if you just need a way to touch-up your in-office results, one of these take-home teeth whitening systems may be right for you. Both use custom-made trays and professional-grade bleaching gels to help you achieve beautiful results in about two weeks or less.

How Can Cosmetic Dentistry Help Me?

November 16, 2012

The benefits of cosmetic dentistry can be life-changing. Studies and research of one kind or another have all shown that, by smiling more and having a smile you feel proud of, you can enjoy a better sense of wellbeing. For instance, smiling increases the body’s levels of endorphins and serotonin, reducing stress and creating a pleasing sense of calm. What’s more, people with a beautiful smile are perceived as being more intelligent, successful, and friendly.

Effective Services for a Transformed Smile

Two of the most effective and most common cosmetic dentistry services out there are teeth whitening and Invisalign.

Many dental offices that offer teeth whitening offer two different versions—in-office and take-home whitening. Both promise professional results, but in different ways. In-office whitening with a system like Kör Whitening can help you achieve stunning results in just one office appointment. Patients who might be sensitive to in-office treatments, on the other hand, may want to consider a take-home system. With take-home whitening, you can achieve the same results as with in-office whitening, but on your own schedule.

Invisalign is a version of clear braces used most often by adults who have put off orthodontic care. Instead of using metal brackets and wires to straighten teeth, the way traditional braces do, Invisalign uses a series of clear, custom-made aligners. With Invisalign, you can enjoy greater convenience than with other options. That’s because Invisalign can be taken out to eat, brush, and floss. That’s a level of convenience that traditional braces just can’t touch.

To find out which cosmetic dentistry service is right for you, call Papageorgiou Dental Associates. A professional cosmetic dentist like Dr. Papageorgiou can help you understand your needs, your options, and propose an effective solution to help you meet your goals.

 

Enjoy Relief for Gum Disease with Periodontal Therapy from Dr. Papageorgiou

November 15, 2012

As important as cavity-free teeth are, your teeth aren’t the only important aspect of your smile.  Healthy gums are just as essential. Recent medical studies have linked poor gum health to a wide range of other health problems in the rest of the body, including:

  • Heart disease
  • Alzheimer’s disease
  • Stroke
  • Diabetes
  • Pregnancy complications
  • Pneumonia

Thankfully, with the periodontal therapies you’ll find at Papageorgiou Dental Associates, patients from Natick and beyond have somewhere to turn when faced with such a common condition like gum disease.

It’s been estimated that gum disease affects 75% of American adults. But not every one of those cases is the same. For some, treating gum disease may only mean spending more time brushing and flossing every day. In other cases, a more advanced procedure, like scaling and root planing, may be necessary. Using either traditional dental tools or a soft-tissue laser, our team at Papageorgiou Dental Associates will help you remove bacteria and calculus from your smile, easing your gum disease symptoms and improving your oral health.

Schedule Your Appointment Today

Do your gums routinely bleed during or after brushing? Do you struggle with frequent bad breath? Are your gums extremely red, discolored, or sensitive? All of these are a sign that you might have gum disease.

Call Papageorgiou Dental Associates today to schedule your consultation visit. Dr. Christina Papageorgiou would be happy to assess your oral health and recommend a treatment plan. Our team serves patients from Natick, Framingham, Wellesley, Wayland, Weston, Ashland, Sherborn, and beyond.
