Patients with one or more missing teeth have to deal with damage not just to their oral health, but their self-confidence as well. People with missing teeth are perceived in US society as being poor, uneducated, or unhealthy. Additionally, a recent employment poll revealed that those with missing teeth were much less likely to be hired than people with a full smile, and those who had jobs received significantly less money compared with others in similar roles. If the social stigma attached to tooth loss isn’t enough to spur patients to replace missing teeth, the oral health risks should be. Patients with one or more missing teeth often experience uneven dental wear due to the excess force placed on surrounding teeth, gaps and misalignment as teeth shift to fill in the empty space, changes in facial shape, and temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) caused by excess strain to the jaw. One of the most detrimental effects of missing teeth is the loss of gum and bone tissue, but most tooth replacement options don’t protect patients from tissue loss because they only replace the visible portion of teeth. Dental implants are the only restoration that replaces the entire tooth from the roots up preserving gum and bone tissue.

The correct answer is both. Obviously, a straight smile is more attractive. But when your teeth are well aligned, you’re also better able to effectively brush and floss for optimal oral health. Thus, a straight smile is not only a matter of cosmetics. For those who want to straighten their teeth, Dr. Dooley and his staff offer several different methods of orthodontics. One is sure to match your smile goals, as well as your budget and schedule.

Choose Teeth Whitening Spring Lake For a Better Life
September 20, 2015
The one thing no one ever mentions about getting older is the affect it has on your teeth. Gray hair may make you look wiser, but dingy-looking teeth don’t do anyone any favors — they’re just an unfortunate consequence of aging. But the good news is, there are treatment options with teeth whitening at your Spring Lake dentist office, Dooley Dental! We offer both in-office and at-home treatments to get your smile back to the pearly white you remember — read on to learn more about how teeth whitening can improve your life this fall, and for years to come.
In-Office Treatment: Ultra Boost Tooth Whitening Spring Lake Loves
Because it provides faster, more dramatic results, an in-office whitening treatment is an excellent option for someone looking to whiten teeth quickly before a big event, like maybe a wedding or a high school reunion. The in-office option is also great for those who are unlikely to follow through with nightly at-home treatments. At Dooley Dental, we offer Ultra Boost Tooth Whitening to give you a dramatically brighter smile in just one visit.
The Ultra Boost system works in as little as one hour and is able to remove stains that are located deep within the enamel, which your toothbrush just can’t reach. This option will have you walking out of the office with a super-bright smile you won’t want to stop flashing.
At-Home Treatment: Ultradent Opalescence
Maybe you prefer to whiten your teeth gradually, over a period of time, or perhaps you just want to do it from the convenience of your own home. Whatever the reason, Dooley Dental offers a great option in at-home whitening treatment with Ultradent Opalescence.
Forget the over-the-counter, one-size-fits all whitening solutions. This treatment option uses trays that are fitted exactly to your unique mouth, and it comes in a variety of different flavors and concentrations, allowing you to get exactly the results you want. You can wear them at day or at night, from 30 minutes to overnight, depending on your preference and treatment choice. With this option, you’ll notice a gradually brighter smile, with full results in two weeks!
Why Choose Professional Whitening?
When you combine your desire for whiter teeth with a dental professional who knows the best way to help you achieve your goals, the results will astound you. Don’t leave something as important as your oral health and appearance to some bored over-the-counter salesman — trust your teeth to a professional who knows what’s best for you and your smile. Trust Dr. Dooley.
