Visiting your local Wilmette cosmetic dentist is a good start!

Whitening your teeth is an advanced dental procedure that you won’t want to get wrong on the first try. That’s why I always recommend a visit to Dino Mantis, DDS (our dental practice) to visit with me and talk about it. I’m Dino Mantis, and as a Wilmette Doctor, I am not only experienced with tooth whitening procedures, but care about your teeth and your smile. I can recommend tooth whitening procedures based on your age, dental hygiene, and personal goals.

Most importantly, I can help you assess the condition of your teeth and help you understand what to expect and how to care for your teeth once they are whitened.

Many of our Wilmette patients ask about tooth whitening. In fact it is one of our most popular cosmetic dental procedures. There are many tooth whitening options, ranging from the kind you will perform at home to professional tooth whitening procedures we can do right here in our Wilmette dental office. The one best for you can depend on many factors, starting with the color of your teeth, and how white you want your teeth to be after the procedure.

Consulting with your Wilmette dentist before you begin a tooth whitening procedure has several advantages. Among the advantages are professional care, experienced advice, and reliable recommendations for which tooth whitening procedure will be best for you.

If you are contemplating a tooth whitening procedure, and you live in the Wilmette, come in and visit with me for just a few minutes. We’ll discuss your goals, the options that are available to you, and the results you can expect. You will be much happier with your results with the advantage of professional advice.

I look forward to hearing from you. Call 847.256.4776.

A smile is always in style.

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 teeth whitening ingredients. They can penetrate the outer layer of your teeth to remove the build-up, and help restore whitening to teeth. Call Dino Mantis, DDS at 847.256.4776 to schedule an appointment and we will explain the difference between these tooth bleaching ingredients and how they may affect your Wilmette smile whitening results.

Wilmette 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 Wilmette cosmetic dentistry.

We know the best Wilmette teeth bleaching options and can recommend the perfect white smile solution for you.

At Dino Mantis, DDS, we hope to see you soon. Give us a call at 847.256.4776.

Here is some basic advice on tooth whitening from Dino Mantis, DDS:

First, we encourage you to visit our office in Evanston before starting a tooth whitening system. It is a good idea to have your teeth checked and analyzed before starting a tooth whitening program. Tooth whitening is not for everyone, and depends on your dental history.

Dr. Mantis at Dino Mantis, DDS can help you determine whether your teeth can be whitened safely and effectively. We can also recommend tooth whitening solutions that will work best for you. Dino Mantis, DDS is a good place to start for this important decision.

There are many pitfalls to be aware of when whitening your teeth. Over-the-counter teeth whitening products available in the Evanston area will provide varying degrees of effectiveness on your teeth. If used improperly, tooth whitening solutions can cause problems including tooth sensitivity, over whitening, damage to your tooth enamel, and irregular coloration. Whitening too much can even have a reverse effect, making your teeth look gray.

Most tooth whitening product manufacturers recommend that you visit your local Evanston cosmetic dentist when things go wrong with your over-the-counter tooth whitening solution. We recommend you begin with the excellent professionals at Dino Mantis, DDS to get started with a tooth whitening solution that will give you the best tooth whitening results.

Our office is located at 1625 Sheridan Road, Wilmette, IL 60091. Please give us a call or stop by to make an appointment to discuss your tooth whitening plans. We are eager to help you make the best decision about your tooth whitening.

The technical term for bad breath is halitosis. Many factors can cause or contribute to halitosis. One of these factors is the food you eat. Onions and garlic are both known for having a potent affect on your breath. Simply observing the foods you eat here in Wilmette can result in a change in your breath.

In most cases, bad breath originates in your mouth. Transient bad breath can be resolved through eating or brushing, and is a temporary condition usually associated with a dry mouth. Persistent bad breath can be a serious problem effecting as much as 25 percent of our Wilmette residents. Persistent bad breath can be caused by dry mouth, and is made worse when food is not cleared away properly.

Brushing and flossing daily is a critical step in curing bad breath. Food particles can build up in your mouth and foster bacteria which can cause bad breath. This not only includes the food particles that may get stuck between your teeth, but also the food that collects around your gums or on your tongue. Brushing and flossing daily can help reduce the amount of food particles that stay in your mouth and cause bad breath. Regular visits to Dino Mantis, DDS in Wilmette can also reduce or eliminate the progression of bad breath.

Other factors that can contribute to bad breath for Wilmette residents include dry mouth, tobacco use, and health concerns such as infections. Come visit cosmetic dentist Dino Mantis, DDS located in Wilmette, IL; we’ll provide you with information about bad breath in a professional environment. Give us a call at 847.256.4776 to set up an appointment.  We also offer many cosmetic dentistry services such as dental implants and teeth whitening.

Infection
Your mouth is full of bacteria. Any opening in the tissue carries the risk of infection. The germs from your tongue and mouth can easily get into your bloodstream. Wilmette dentists and doctors are continually treating serious infections caused by oral piercings. Oral infections can be a real problem, and should be a major consideration before getting an oral piercing.

Tooth Damage
It should come as no surprise that having a piece of metal bang around in your mouth can easily chip tooth enamel. Though tooth enamel is amazingly strong, once it’s chipped or cracked, it can only be restored with artificial material. Fortunately, Dino Mantis, DDS in Wilmette offers many tooth restoration options such as dental crowns and porcelain veneers, but our advice is to avoid the problem if you can.

Prolonged Bleeding and Swelling
The blood vessels in the tongue are often damaged when the tongue is pierced, causing prolonged bleeding and possible build-up of scar tissue. In some cases, the tongue swells up enough to block the airway.

Gum Recession
A number of periodontal disease studies have shown that wearing oral jewelry is linked to periodontal disease which can result in tooth loss. Periodontal disease, or ‘gum disease’, can cause gum recession and exposes the root of your teeth, potentially causing hyper sensitivity and pain. Again, our advice is to avoid the problem right from the start.

These are just a few of the dangers. Cosmetic dentist Dino Mantis at Dino Mantis, DDS can give you more information about the risks of oral piercings. If you already have damage, call 847.256.4776 to schedule a consultation.
