Can You Be Too White?

Overall esthetics and beauty perception are important issues in modern society affecting social interactions and professional advancement.

Smile attractiveness is a key element of facial attractiveness.

A person's smile is their first point of communication. In addition to the shape of teeth, one of the key esthetic components in a smile is the tooth color.  Tooth whitening has become the Number1dental cosmetic procedure in recent years.

Tooth discoloration is of two types- 

Extrinsic stains  are those that form a film on top of the tooth enamel which can be cleaned away through dental hygiene procedures, brushing and whitening toothpastes.

Intrinsic stains, however; are within the tooth structure and the process of whitening is more involved.  Aging is the primary cause although long term use of stain causing foods and medications do contribute significantly to this form of staining. The only way to eliminate these stains is through bleaching/whitening.

Bleaching is a chemical process in which color is eliminated by oxidation of the stain molecules.  Depth and degree of whitening is determined by the concentration of the oxidizing agent used.

How white is white has a subjective response. Tooth color perception is highly prone to individual variation.

As much as "Hollywood smiles" are very popular, it is important to bear in mind that injudicious use of high concentrations of hydrogen peroxide can be detrimental to the vitality of the teeth and the health of the gingival tissues advises Dr. Cherukuri, from her Chino, California dental practice. One hour/same day whitening procedures are best done under the direct supervision of a dentist , she adds.

Ever consider teeth whitening for everyone in the wedding party? A cool
 "feel and do good "celebration.

Periodontal-Cosmetic Connection!



                           What to do with Uneven Gums?

Have you ever considered having a Periodontal-Cosmetic makeover?             

 “You can have the most beautiful looking teeth, but without the right gumline to showcase them well, your smile will fall short of ideal, says Dr. Vijaya Cherukuri from her Chino, California Cosmetic Dental Practice. If your gums lie too low or too high on your teeth, you may be a candidate for a Periodontal-Cosmetic makeover.

Gums that appear too high or too low, over and under contoured  can be caused by genetics, arrangement of teeth, crowding, the result of medications that result in gingival hyperplasia or even some blood disorders.. The good news is that the cosmetic procedure can easily give you the smile you desire. http://www.webmd.com/oral-health/guide/gum-contouring-procedure)

                                                             
This was the most satisfying smile makeover! Cerec dentistry combined with laser surgery. http://dentistrysa.com/

In the dental office of Dr. Cherukuri, many times a laser is used to perform this type of procedure.  I have found that patients appreciate the use of lasers in the dental office. It is painless, simple to use  with almost no bleeding.  We have introduced them to our patients for periodontal treatment, cold sore and fever blister relief and also to improve the cosmetic contouring of gum tissue.

If you think you would like more information on any of these procedures, please contact us. We are more than happy to help  .www.chinosmiles.com

VALUE OF A SMILE!!


A smile costs nothing but gives much. It enriches those who receive without making poorer those who give. It takes but a moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts for ever. None is so rich or mighty that he cannot get along without it and none is so poor that he cannot be made rich by it. Yet a smile cannot be bought, begged, borrowed or stolen for it is something that is of no value to anyone until it is given away. Some people are too tired to give you a smile. Give them one of yours, as none needs a smile so much as he who has no more to give.----Author Unknown
