Questions To Ask Your Lafayette Dentist

Tuesday, January 13th, 2009

Questions To Ask Your Lafayette Dentist Sometimes we research our Lafayette mechanic or Longmont hairdresser more thoroughly than our Lafayette dental professional. Shouldn’t your dental care be far more important than the condition of your car or the style of your hair? At Gordon West DDS, Cosmetic & General Dentistry, we love to answer questions about your teeth. You should be asking your Colorado dentist any question you have about the care and status of your teeth.

For instance, you may have questions about the school of dentistry he or she attended and the dental specialties studied. Though important, dentistry school is not the only place to gain dental experience. Dr. Gordon West has been performing complex dental procedures in Colorado since 1998.

You should also be asking about the dentistry specialties your Longmont dentist offers such as tooth restoration and Invisalign invisible braces. These services may not be important to you now, but it is a good idea to have an understanding of your options, and to know what your Longmont dentist has to offer.

If you are contemplating smile restoration, tooth implants, or tooth whitening, evaluate cosmetic dentistry options with your Longmont dentist. Look at before and after pictures, and ask your Longmont dentist what procedures may be right for you.

General dentists in Boulder offer a variety of dental services such as tooth extractions and tooth fillings, and can treat every member of the family. At Gordon West DDS, Cosmetic & General Dentistry, we specialize in cosmetic dentistry, porcelain veneers and dental implants.

You have many choices for your Lafayette family dentistry. We welcome questions about all aspects of our Gordon West DDS, Cosmetic & General Dentistry practice. Visit us at 1140 West S. Boulder Rd, Suite 201 in Lafayette and talk to a member of our state-of-the-art dental care in a comfortable environment team.

Lafayette Whiter Smiles

Monday, January 5th, 2009

Lafayette Pediatric Dentistry Wishing for a whiter smile in Lafayette but not sure how to get it? New to smile tooth whitening lingo in Colorado? At Gordon West DDS, Cosmetic & General Dentistry, we educate clients on the variety of Boulder affordable teeth whiting treatments; from whitening trays to teeth bleaching to opalescence whitening or smile whitening in Louisville, Longmont or Brommfield.

Almost every toothpaste claims to whiten teeth, but as we age our teeth gradually turn yellow or gray, despite all the whitening toothpastes we use regularly. Tooth enamel, while one of the hardest substances in the body, is porous. Over time, the food and drinks that comes in contact with our teeth cause staining and discoloration. You probably have already discovered that a toothbrush cannot clean these microscopic pores.

Carbamide peroxide and hydrogen peroxide are the two main smile whitening ingredients. They can penetrate the outer layer of your teeth to remove the build-up, and help restore whitening to teeth. Call Gordon West DDS, Cosmetic & General Dentistry at 303-665-5335 to schedule an appointment and we will explain the difference between these tooth bleaching ingredients and how they may affect your smile whitening results in Lafayette.

Boulder at-home teeth whitening products are probably not a good choice if you have dental crowns or porcelain veneers. You could end up with extremely uneven results or possible damage to your existing Colorado cosmetic dentistry.

We know the best Lafayette teeth bleaching options and can recommend the perfect white smile solution for you.

At Gordon West DDS, Cosmetic & General Dentistry, we hope to see you soon. Give us a call at 303-665-5335.

When it comes to cosmetic dentistry in Boulder, Colorado, teeth whitening is one of the easiest and rewarding procedures. There are also a lot of tooth whitening options for those of us in the Boulder area. How do you find a good tooth whitening procedure in Boulder County?

Visiting your local Boulder dentist is a good start!

Whitening your teeth is an advanced dental procedure that you won’t want to get wrong on the first try. That’s why I always recommend a visit to Gordon West DDS, Cosmetic & General Dentistry (our dental practice) to visit with me and talk about it. I’m Dr. Gordon West, and as a Boulder cosmetic and sedation dentist, I am not only experienced with tooth whitening procedures, but care about your teeth and your smile. I can recommend tooth whitening procedures based on your age, dental hygiene, and personal goals.

Most importantly, I can help you assess the condition of your teeth and help you understand what to expect and how to care for your teeth once they are whitened.

Many of our Boulder patients ask about tooth whitening. In fact it is one of our most popular cosmetic dentistry procedures. There are many tooth whitening options, ranging from the kind you will perform at home to professional tooth whitening procedures we can do right here in our Lafayette dental office. The one best for you can depend on many factors, starting with the color of your teeth and how white you want your teeth to be after the procedure.

Consulting with your Boulder dentist before you begin a teeth whitening procedure has several advantages. Among the advantages are professional care, experienced advice, and reliable recommendations for which teeth whitening procedure will be best for you.

If you are contemplating a tooth whitening procedure, and you live in the Boulder area, come in and visit with me for just a few minutes. We’ll discuss your goals, the options that are available to you, and the results you can expect. You will be much happier with your results with the advantage of professional advice.
