A White Woodlands Smile: Tooth Whitening From Dr. Shirley Cagle

It seems like everyone is trying tooth-whitening products to brighten their smile. Are you one of them? There are many products you can try at home: white strips, paint-on gels, brightening toothpastes or mouthwashes.

According to the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, tooth whitening is the No. 1 cosmetic service requested of dentists. And nationally, we spend more than $1 billion a year on over-the-counter tooth-bleaching products.

But can whitening treatments turn into too much of a good thing? And are treatments you pick off a store shelf going to be the best method for you? Before you spend money on a treatment that may not give you the degree of whiteness you want, the American Dental Association (ADA) recommends that you should first have an exam and consult with a qualified dentist about the best tooth whitening system for you.

Dr. Shirley Cagle has continually advanced her education at such prestigious centers as the Pankey Institute for Advanced Dental Education. She offers the Zoom! Whitening System, the most requested whitening treatment in Woodlands. It can whiten your smile up to 8 shades brighter, sometimes more, in approximately an hour. With Zoom! a hydrogen peroxide gel is applied to your teeth and activated with the special light. It breaks down the stains in your teeth while keeping the enamel and structure of your teeth intact.

You can also opt for Zoom! take-home whitening trays to use at your convenience. You wear the trays for several hours over a few days at home. You’ll have noticeable results in as little as 3 days.

Call us for an appointment at our dental office in the Woodlands at 281.681.9442 for a comprehensive exam and consultation with Dr. Cagle about the best whitening treatment for you. The value of a whiter, brighter smile is realized almost immediately. You’ll smile more, and that smile will show all over your face, not just in your teeth. It’s one of the best gifts you can ever give yourself.

Smile for the Camera in The Woodlands, TX

How many pictures and videos did you take over the holidays? Now, how many did others take of you? Do you avoid being in front of a camera because you’re self-conscious about your smile?

Come out from behind the camera and be right in front of it from now on. A smile makeover from Dr. Shirley Cagle can give you the self-confidence you could have if you weren’t embarrassed by an unattractive smile.

Cosmetic dentistry in the Woodlands is not about vanity, although we all want to look our best. A smile makeover can transform how you look, but it also enhances your dental and overall health.

●      Did you know those old ugly metal fillings have mercury in them? Replace them with tooth-colored restorations. They look better and they’re healthier for you.

●      With porcelain veneers, we can correct many dental problems without pain or multiple, extended visits. You’d be amazed at how veneers can make your smile more symmetrical by covering gaps, correcting overlapped teeth, and making them an even length with a natural, even color.

●      The gaps left by missing teeth are an ideal spot for gingivitis to thrive, leading to more serious gum disease. Dr. Cagle can replace missing teeth with dental implants or with a bridge, depending on your individual need.

●      We can contour your gums with lasers to make your smile less “gummy.”

Even the most extensive makeover can be completed in as few as three visits. After an exam and a consultation, we’ll create a plan to transform your smile. Every step will be discussed with you, explained how it’s done, and how it will correct and enhance your smile. Your smile is often the first and most lasting impression you make on other people. Knowing that your teeth are healthy and beautiful will make the most of your smile!
