Smiles for Life

By | Uncategorized

The 2018 installment of Smiles For Life is in full swing, with hundreds of dental practices in the United States and Canada joining forces to raise money for needy children the world over.

Participating dentists are donating 100% of money raised to the Smiles for Life Foundation, the charity arm of the Crown Council. In exchange for  donations from their patients, these Crown Council dentists are professionally whitening the teeth, with all of the proceeds going to the foundation.

Smiles For Life has raised more than forty million dollars since 1998, and hundreds of children’s charities have benefited. They include St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital, Ronald McDonald House, Feed the Children, and the Garth Brooks Teammates for Kids Foundation.

Teeth whitening supplies have all been donated by Ultradent, which manufactures Boost in-office whitening and Opalescence take-home whitening trays.

The 2018 Crown Council Smiles For Life Foundation continues through June. Follow this link to find a participating Smiles For Life dentist.

How At-Home Teeth Whitening Works

By | Uncategorized

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A WAY TO WHITEN THE STAINS IN YOUR SMILE, it is always safer and more effective to choose a professional teeth whitening system under the direction of a dentist. Though in-office teeth whitening systems are available, most Smile For Life dentists also offer at-home teeth whitening systems. The media is flooded with advertisements for do-it-yourself remedies, but some of these treatments can be damaging to your teeth and ineffective at fully whitening. With Smiles For Life, you can enjoy a professional at-home teeth whitening system under the care of a dentist while making a difference in the life of a child.

While an at-home teeth whitening system is often less expensive than an in-office professional teeth whitening system, they are still very effective though they generally take a little longer.

At-Home Teeth Whitening Procedure:

A dental cleaning and oral exam are both recommended prior to professional teeth whitening. Your dentist can help you determine whether you qualify for at-home teeth whitening.

After your initial consultation, you will be fitted with custom-molded teeth whitening trays and given a teeth whitening formula.

With Opalescence Tooth Whitening Systems, the tooth whitening formula is applied directly to the whitening trays, which are worn nightly or daily, respectively, until the desired shade is reached. The teeth whitening formula contains active ingredients, which slowly penetrate through the tooth enamel and bleach out any stains. Length of treatment varies depending on the current tooth shade and desired results.

When you choose a dentist who participates with Smiles For Life for your in-office or at-home teeth whitening system, 100% of your teeth whitening cost goes towards benefiting children all over the world. Find a Smiles For Life participating dentist in your area today!

About In-Office Whitening

A BEAUTIFUL WHITE SMILE NOT ONLY LOOKS GOOD, it also increases your self-confidence…Over time, the aging process, as well as substances such as coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco, colas, and medications, gradually discolor your teeth. While a dental cleaning can remove some lighter tooth stains, most discoloration requires professional tooth whitening to restore a beautiful white smile. The safe, fast, and effective BOOST teeth bleaching system has brightened thousands of smiles and impacted thousands of lives through Smiles For Life.

Opalescence Teeth Whitening Procedure

A teeth cleaning and an oral exam are recommended before the Opalescence Teeth bleaching procedure. For best results, cavities and oral health issues should be taken care of prior to the tooth whitening process. Your dentist will help you determine if your teeth are ready for Opalescence Teeth bleaching.

After Tooth Whitening Care

Opalescence Teeth Whitening is designed to keep your teeth looking white for a long time. However, to improve the longevity of your tooth whitening, be sure to brush and floss daily. Your doctor may also give you a take-home tooth whitening kit to take home for occasional touch-ups.

Benefits of Opalescence Teeth Bleaching

The dangers of do-it-yourself tooth whitening remedies are many, while the benefits of in-office professional tooth whitening are numerous:

Fast and Effective: As opposed to many tooth whitening systems that take weeks or months to whiten your teeth just a few shades, Opalescence Teeth Whitening works effectively in less than an hour.

Long Lasting: Opalescence Teeth Bleaching is designed to keep your teeth looking white over a long period of time. Excellent oral hygiene and occasional touch-ups keep your smile looking bright.

Safe: In-office professional tooth whitening is one of the safest ways to whiten your teeth, since a dental professional is right there to monitor the tooth whitening procedure and ensure that everything works as it should.

With Smiles For Life, you not only get a beautifully white smile, but you also improve the life of a child. The dentists donate their time, Ultradent donates the whitening materials, and 100% of all proceeds go to charity to benefit children all over the world. Find a dentist who participates in Smiles For Life in your area today.
