You probably shave or apply makeup in the morning, comb your hair, and give some consideration to your outfit for the day. Why? It is human nature to crave acceptance. Knowing that others find you pleasant to look at is important to how you feel about yourself. That is one of the reasons professional dental whitening is a popular service at Virginia Biological Dentistry in Glen Allen, VA. In Dr. Olivia Hart’s care, whitening is a safe and healthy part of an individualized plan of biological dental care.
Biological (also known as biological or natural) dentistry is an oral care philosophy that takes the wellbeing of the entire patient into consideration. Each treatment is intended to improve the harmonious relationship of mouth, body, emotions, and spirit.
While mercury-free fillings, safe removal of amalgam, and metal-free restorations are a big part of biological dental care, there is plenty of room for cosmetic enhancement, too. Dr. Hart utilizes non-toxic materials, products, and techniques to keep smiles looking their healthy best.
Your smile is one-of-a-kind, and so is the delicate balance of your personal physiology. As a biological dentist, Dr. Hart takes extra precautions such as material-body compatibility testing to ensure the safest possible treatment choices. Biocompatibility testing determines your body’s sensitivity to individual components used in dental materials. With this precise information, Dr. Hart recommends materials aligned with your body chemistry, to minimize the risk of reaction and resulting latent health issues.
At Virginia Biological Dentistry, YOU are a vital part of the cosmetic treatment planning team. The doctor takes as much time as necessary to understand what you would like to change about your smile. Together, you discuss appropriate treatment options and look at before and after photos.
Your plan for smile enhancement may entail only dental whitening or a combination of other esthetic services such as:
Despite all those options and more, dental whitening remains one of the most requested cosmetic services at Virginia Biological Dentistry because it gives the smile an affordable yet noticeable boost. Once the doctor has ascertained that your mouth is healthy, she creates custom-fit application trays.
You receive a supply of medical-grade whitening gel that penetrates pores in tooth enamel, lifting stains as it oxidizes.
The treatment schedule is tailored to your needs:
Use the system according to Dr. Hart’s instructions, in the privacy of your home, until tooth color is lightened to your liking. Then, with occasional re-treatment, your smile stays bright.
