Guidelines to Help You Achieve a Beautiful, Healthy Smile

Good oral hygiene is the foundation for a beautiful smile and is essential for everyone. Follow this link to learn some facts regarding the importance of taking care of your teeth and gums.

• Brush:  Brushing your teeth is the primary way to achieve a healthy and beautiful smile. Brush for two minutes at least twice daily using a fluoride toothpaste, to strengthen tooth enamel. It’s important to brush regularly to reduce bacteria that attacks teeth and gums.
• Floss:  Only 50 percent of plaque-causing bacteria is removed by brushing. Flossing removes food particles from between the teeth and can clean the other 50 percent of bacteria that hides between teeth and along the gums.
• Whiten:  Stained teeth degrade your smile and make you look older. Some of the major stain-causing foods are coffee, tea, wine, tomato sauce, blueberries, cherries, cola and tobacco. To safely do away with these sometimes-stubborn stains is to see Dr. Porter for teeth-whitening treatments to lighten your smile. We proudly offer Zoom teeth whitening at Premier Dentistry of Eagle. This quick and professional in-office whitening treatment can brighten your smile up to 8 shades after just one treatment! If you are interested in achieving a whiter, more beautiful smile for Valentine’s Day, we invite you to contact us today at (208) 546-0655 to schedule your consultation. A beautiful white smile awaits you just in time for those romantic moments.
• Freshen Your Breath:  Killing germs that are the cause of bad breath is the first step to having fresh breath. Besides brushing and flossing every day, proper hydration is an important component to your kiss-ability. Drinking lots of water helps increase your saliva flow, which protects your teeth from acids, sugar, and bacteria.  It also prevents dry mouth and other oral health problems, and makes your breath smell better. Finally, after brushing your teeth, rinse your mouth with an antibacterial mouthwash. This will make your breath smell fresh and your smile will reflect the overall sense of beauty and confidence that comes with a healthy mouth!

Cosmetic Dental Treatments to Enhance Your Smile

Do you have imperfections in your teeth?  By correcting flaws in your teeth, we can help enhance your overall appearance and boost your self-esteem with an attractive smile. Dr. Porter is skilled in various cosmetic dental treatments that will help you get ready for that special date on Valentine’s Day. A few are listed below, but for more information about cosmetic dentistry at Premier Family Dentistry, please follow this link.

• Invisalign®, The Clear Alternative to Braces. If your teeth are crowded, crooked, or gapped, Dr. Porter has the solution. The Invisalign® treatment system is an alternative to metal braces and far more comfortable than traditional braces. Invisalign® uses clear, comfortable aligners that are custom made to fit your smile. You simply wear these aligners over your teeth and instead of tightening metal brackets every month, you switch sets about every two weeks to gradually, gently guide your teeth to their proper positions. Invisalign is a good choice for adults who want discreet orthodontic treatment vs. the traditional metal braces. The aligners are removable, so you can take them off when you need to eat, floss, or brush your teeth.
• Porcelain Veneers.  If you’re interested in a complete smile makeover, dental veneers might be just what you need to achieve the smile you’ve been wishing for. Veneers are an aesthetic treatment for broken or chipped teeth, worn-down teeth and irregularly shaped teeth. Veneers create a virtual makeover that impacts your whole appearance, boosts your confidence and brings out the best in you. Initially, your teeth are prepared by having a small amount of your tooth enamel removed, a mold of your tooth is taken, and a veneer is made to fit perfectly over the old tooth. The molds are then sent to a dental lab for fabrication. A temporary covering for your teeth is put in place until the veneers are completed. Two to three weeks later the temporary covering is removed and the finished veneers are bonded to the teeth.  Appearance is important, and veneers are a good choice for those who want a beautiful smile. Check out this link to see if veneers are something you should consider doing for your teeth.
