What to Do if Your Teeth Can’t Be Whitened
When teeth become stained over time, their appearance can have a significant effect on your self-confidence. That effect is even more prominent when you take pride in caring for your smile. Fortunately, teeth-whitening can often help you easily and conveniently erase most common teeth stains, allowing you to once again take pride in your smile. However, in some cases, tooth discoloration may not result from common causes, and therefore, they may not respond to professional teeth-whitening. At our Virginia Beach, VA, dental office, we offer professional teeth-whitening and many other customized treatments to help you successfully brighten and improve your smile. (more…)

Why Your Smile Is Worth Dental Implants
Depending on how many teeth you’ve lost, you may have several options for replacing them.

At our Virginia Beach, VA, dental office, we may recommend dental implants because of the many significant benefits they can offer your immediate and long-term oral health. While placing dental implants is more involved than securing a traditional prosthesis, those benefits make them well worth the effort. (more…)
