Bright Smile Benefits

Teeth stain for many reasons, including your food and drink choices, oral hygiene, and medication use. Teeth stain occurs on the surface of the tooth (extrinsic stains) or below the tooth enamel (intrinsic stains) and some people develop both types. Keeping our teeth their whitest is a lot harder than it sounds which is why our doctors at Flossophy Dental offers a teeth whitening service that can provide you with life-changing benefits.

Let’s face it, not all of us are gifted with a perfect set of teeth that sparkle from their whiteness. Not only does being able to show the world your pearly whites give you more self-confidence, but it projects an outward appearance of healthiness that others are attracted to. Whiter teeth are associated with a healthier lifestyle – when people have a brighter smile, they tend to smile more often and are less self-conscious while interacting with people. In addition, one of the biggest advantages of teeth whitening is that it does not have any harmful side effects on your teeth.

Tips to Show off Your Smile

Here at Flossophy Dental, we realize that keeping teeth their whitest is a lot harder than it sounds. After all, with the coffee, wine and other foods that have the ability to stain our teeth on a daily basis, even proper maintenance sometimes leaves them a little lackluster. Teeth whitening is an excellent way to restore the natural color of your teeth or even make them whiter than your natural color, if you would like. However, if there is any reason you can’t go the cosmetic route at this moment, here are some tips that will help you show off the charming smile you already have.

• Be natural – when it’s picture time, smile gently. That way, your face looks relaxed. Your mouth opens slightly, and your lower lip matches the curve of your upper teeth.


• Check your teeth and gums – getting your smile camera-ready sometimes calls for a little behind the scenes prep work. If your pearly whites have yellowed with age, try an over-the-counter whitening product or pay us a visit! Also, don’t forget about taking care of your gums. They play a critical role in your nice smile. So keep them in good shape by brushing, flossing, and rinsing with a mouthwash every day.


• Practice – your perfect smile may not happen overnight, but if you have a big photo event like a wedding or a graduation coming up, it doesn’t hurt to try out your grin in front of the mirror!

Inlays and Onlays for Strong and Beautiful Smiles

Is damage or decay ruining the look of your smile? It is time to take a restorative and cosmetic approach. Flossophy Dental here in Edmonton, AB is offering our patients restored confidence with dental inlays and onlays.

Dental inlays and onlays are like the in between option of dental crowns and fillings. They are for when there is more damage than a filling can fix, but not enough to need a full dental crown. An inlay improves the chewing surface of a tooth, minus any cusps. An onlay improves the chewing surface of a tooth, plus one or more cusps. Damage and decay can make a smile appear unhealthy and unappealing to the eye. Inlays and onlays restore a tooth to its former strength and let it shine. Inlays and onlays are able to be made of gold, porcelain, or a composite resin. The porcelain and composite resin options are able to blend right in with the rest of your tooth, so your smile will look brand-new!

If you are tired of hiding your smile due to the damage of decay or injury, there are restorative and cosmetic options available to you. Contact Flossophy Dental about inlays and onlays.

Dental Bonding for Cosmetic Improvements

When you are not confident about your smile, it can be hard to want to show it off. This is why Flossophy Dental offers dental bonding in our Edmonton, AB dental practice. Dental bonding is a very popular procedure that can improve the look of many dental imperfections.

Chipped teeth, cracked teeth, discolored teeth, and even misaligned teeth can all benefit from dental bonding. Bonding is a procedure that takes a tooth-colored composite resin to smooth over dental imperfections to make them disappear. It is a popular choice for long-lasting teeth whitening.

To begin the bonding process, your dentist will lightly etch the surface of your tooth and then apply the resin. It will be molded over your tooth into the appropriate shape, than then hardened with a curing light. It is then polished so it shines like natural teeth. Your dentist is able to choose a composite resin that matches the shade of your teeth, so your cosmetic restoration will blend right in. A resin can even be chosen in a brighter shade for those who want their teeth whitened.

If you are looking in the mirror and are displeased with an aspect of your smile, consider dental bonding. To schedule a consultation here in our Edmonton, AB dental practice, call Flossophy Dental at (780) 306-9333 or visit our website, www.flossophydental.ca. 

Teeth Whitening with ZOOM!

Many people are satisfied with the sparkle they get from daily brushing and regular cleanings at the dentist’s office, but if you decide you would like to go beyond this to make your smile shine; you should investigate all of your whitening options. There are many ways to whiten your teeth, including purchasing one of the many at-home treatment options available, but here at Flossophy Dental we utilize the ZOOM! whitening technique, to keep your smile healthy and bright!

ZOOM! is a bleaching process used to lighten the discoloration of enamel and dentin. The ZOOM! in-office tooth whitening procedure uses the ZOOM! Advanced Power Chairside Lamp – said to accelerate the bleaching process – to activate the 25 percent hydrogen peroxide whitening. As the hydrogen peroxide is broken down, oxygen enters the enamel and dentin to bleach the stained substances, leaving the structure of the tooth unchanged. The complete procedure takes less than an hour, but a regular teeth cleaning is recommended prior to the actual Zoom teeth whitening session.
