We Clean It Like We Mean It

Tooth Cleaning Professionals in Hamden & Manchester, CT

While dental emergencies can strike anyone, anytime, our patients who commit to routine preventive care appointments typically experience fewer long-term complications. Professional cleanings allow you to take a proactive approach to your dental health, addressing issues while they are minor and potentially avoiding issues altogether. A professional dental cleaning removes tartar buildup, a common dental problem among patients. If neglected, they flood toxins into the gums resulting in devastating chronic problems, including tooth loss.

Signs You Need Professional Teeth Whitening

Your smile is one of the first things that people notice about you, so you want to make sure it’s looking its best. Teeth naturally darken as we age, but there are other factors that can cause them to become stained or discolored. If you’re not happy with the color of your teeth, professional teeth whitening may be the solution. Here are some signs that you may need to consider whitening your teeth:

You have deep stains that over-the-counter whitening products can't seem to budge.

You want to achieve dramatic results quickly.

You're looking for a long-lasting solution to keep your smile bright.

You have sensitive teeth and need a gentler whitening treatment.

You want to whiten your teeth before a big event, like a wedding or job interview.

You have overall yellowing of the teeth due to smoking or other factors.

You have spots on your teeth that are darker than the surrounding area.

If you’re considering professional teeth whitening, be sure to consult with your dentist first. They can help you determine if whitening is the right choice for you and recommend the best treatment option based on your individual needs.
