Putting off going to the dentist is so common that there is even a word for it: odontophobia. The downside, of course, is that by the time they absolutely must go to the dentist, the necessary treatment will be more extensive and expensive. Finding a dentist who truly understands their anxiety and is able to minimize it is the best solution. Microdentistry, or minimally invasive dentistry, focuses on preserving healthy tooth structure. Procedures remove the least amount of the tooth structure possible while performing only the dentistry that is required. The dental materials used are long-lasting, reducing the need for future repairs.
Teeth Whitening in Bellevue, WA is becoming a treatment that more people wish to take advantage of. With so many putting an emphasis on keeping fit, having a beautiful and healthy smile becomes part of the package. Modern whitening treatments can remove years of staining and yellowing, resulting in a more youthful and attractive appearance. Zoom! Teeth Whitening is painless; whitening gel is applied to the teeth in the office. This solution is then activated with a special light that breaks up surface stains. Custom trays can be used for touch up treatments at home.
Eligible patients can also take advantage of six-month orthodontics. The Invisalign system is not like the clunky steel and wire braces some of us remember less than fondly. With Invisalign, users can eat whatever they want. The braces are barely visible. They are also comfortable, not causing mouth sores as the older wire braces sometimes did.
