3 Ways Teeth Whitening Can Improve Lives
Think about the last time someone took a photo of you. Did you show your full smile? Or, did you keep your lips closed? Did you smile the last time you met someone new? If not, would you like to change that? Teeth whitening may be the answer, and our team here at The Dental Spa can help. Patients and friends often talk to us about how teeth whitening has changed their lives!
First, people who have had their teeth whitened talk about how much better they feel about themselves. It was amazing what a brightened smile did for one of our patients from Ann Arbor. After having her teeth whitened, she smiles more, she’s more confident, and she feels far more comfortable in all social situations.
Second, overall appearance is dramatically improved. Your mouth and eyes are the main focal points of your face, and teeth whitening not only improves your smile, but also enhances other facial features as well.
Third, a patient from Dexter told us about good things that have happened in his business since his teeth whitening. When he meets new clients, the experiences are more positive and engaging because of his confidence. A bright, attractive smile inspires trust.

Tooth Whitening Dentistry In Ann Arbor
Tooth whitening has really taken off in Ypsilanti. It has become a popular dental 
procedure and can provide excellent results if done properly.
There are a lot of options when it comes to tooth whitening. You can choose from a selection of over-the-counter options that you can get at your local pharmacy, or can go to a professional to get a complete tooth whitening solution.
It is a good idea to consult with your dentist before a tooth whitening, regardless of whether you choose to use an over-the-counter product. Your dentist will be able to help you understand the results you can expect, and can help recommend a product that will work for you.
There are many variables when it comes to tooth whitening. The color of your teeth at the beginning of your treatment will make a difference for your ending result. Different tooth whitening treatments will each produce a different result. Your Ann Arbor dentist has experience with tooth coloration and the types of treatments available.
In many cases, your dentist will be able to provide you with a tooth whitening solution that you can take home with you. In some cases, your dentist may recommend a professional treatment that is done at the dentist’s office.
Professional tooth whitening can produce dramatic results in a single treatment, and is often done over a few treatments.
Tooth whitening is less expensive than it was in the earlier days of tooth whitening technology. Today, tooth whitening treatments are very affordable, and don’t take the time they used to.
If you are interested in a tooth whitening consultation in the Ann Arbor area, please call Gary Sasaki DDS, MS and make an appointment to see me. I will be happy to give you a check up, assess your tooth color, and recommend teeth whitening treatments that may be right for you.

Multi-Procedure Dental Visits in Ann Arbor
If you are planning extensive cosmetic dental work, you may be wondering 
whether to do it all at once or one procedure at a time over an extended period. Here are some factors to consider:
Cost
In the long run, it is less expensive to do it all at once. At Gary Sasaki DDS, MS in Ypsilanti, we are able to complete several procedures in one visit. We know that complete smile transformations are a significant investment for most Michigan residents. We would be happy to discuss affordable dentistry financing options. Call us at (734) 482-7466 to schedule a no-pressure consultation.
Time
With the latest materials and cosmetic dental techniques, healing times are shorter than ever before. However, some procedures such as bone grafting, soft tissue grafting, root canals, and dental implants often require a short healing period.
It is easier physically and psychologically to have the fewest possible visits to your Ann Arbor dentist. You should also consider how your dental visits and necessary healing periods will impact your employment and family life. You will have less down time if you receive several procedures at once.
Aesthetic Results
While we routinely achieve great outcomes when doing a smile makeover in steps, porcelain restorations are best fabricated in the same “batch” for the most precise color matching.

Correcting Severe Dental Problems in Ypsilanti
Each separate restorative and cosmetic dentistry procedure performed in Ypsilanti 
can address a specific dental problem. For example, a porcelain veneer can perfect the surface of a tooth that is discolored or slightly misshapen. Dental bonding can fill a small chip in an otherwise healthy tooth.
Some Ann Arbor dental problems are more extensive and require a combination of procedures. Crown restoration combined with soft tissue grafts can restore a severely decayed tooth with the root exposed. A bone graft and dental implant can restore a missing tooth in an area where the jaw bone has receded. Orthodontia followed by tooth bleaching totally transforms a smile by straightening and whitening.
What is the difference between tooth bleaching and whitening? Whitening is the term for procedures which remove surface stains to restore the degree of natural lightness. Bleaching goes even further by lightening teeth beyond their natural shade. That’s right: you don’t have to resign yourself to yellow teeth even if they have been that way your whole life! The natural shade of your teeth, by the way, like your skin and hair color, is determined by genetics.
Some Michigan smiles have been gleaming for years by regular whitening. You can maintain the whiteness of your teeth just as you maintain your fitness level. (Of course it is a lot easier to make a quick visit to your Ypsilanti dentist once a year for whitening touch-ups than sweating in a gym several times a week!)
We live in an age where severe dental problems can be permanently corrected. You don’t have to participate in a TV makeover show in Hollywood to access these premium cosmetic dental procedures. They are available right here in Ypsilanti. Dr. Gary Sasaki DDS, MS has the same advanced training and extensive experience as the dentists who keep the smiles of famous actors and musicians camera-ready.
Schedule a consultation at Gary Sasaki DDS, MS to discover the perfect combination of procedures to achieve your ultimate smile. Our phone number is (734) 482-7466.

Use Flex Account Funds for Michigan Dentistry
If you have money in your flexible spending account you may want to
schedule some cosmetic dentistry before the deadline. Remember, you lose any funds left over after the plan year ends. Why not improve your smile with tax-free dollars?
Even a small change can make a big difference in the appearance of your teeth. You might consider getting a veneer for a chipped tooth or replacing a broken crown. Maybe you want to straighten your teeth with braces or replace amalgam fillings with clear ones that blend with your natural teeth. Tooth whitening is quick and easy and benefits even the most attractive smiles.
Perhaps aesthetic dentistry is not your first priority. Maybe you have a more pressing dental need such as a cavity that is bothering you or swollen gums. Don’t let these problems get worse and possibly more expensive to treat.
Call (734)482-7466 to book a consultation at Gary Sasaki DDS, MS in Ypsilanti. We are located at 1900 Packard Road, Ypsilanti, Michigan.
Dr. Gary Sasaki is one of the most sought-after Michigan dentists and stays at the forefront of cosmetic dentistry techniques and technology. A radiant smile is possible for anyone, regardless of issues such as tetracycline stains, periodontal disease, or missing teeth.
If you are planning to use flex account funds for dental needs, make sure you check your employer’s guidelines for eligible cosmetic or restorative dental procedures.
With a smile makeover at Gary Sasaki DDS, MS, what will your ‘after’ photo look like?
