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.
