Everywhere you look, people seem to have bright, white, seemingly perfect smiles. Are you considering tooth bleaching to get your smile whiter than white?

Be careful! Your teeth may seem tough, but the bleaching craze can take its toll on the health of your teeth and gums. The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends that anyone considering a tooth-whitening treatment, whether with a dentist or by using an over-the-counter product, should first have an exam and consult with a dentist about the best tooth-whitening system for you. Over-bleaching can harm your teeth and gums, sometimes requiring root canal treatment. Advances in technology have made root canal therapy quicker and more comfortable, but a professional whitening treatment would be much more pleasant!

If you’ve already checked out the cosmetic dentistry services in Holland, MI at Huisman Family Dentistry, you can see that tooth whitening is first on the list. And with good reason—it’s the most requested dental service in the country!

Dr. Jeff Huisman offers his patients the KöR Whitening Deep Bleaching™System, rated in a leading dental journal as the most effective method for in-office tooth whitening. KöR is a combination of in-office power bleaching and custom whitening trays you use at home. You can also opt for at-home whitening only.

With a tooth-whitening treatment from Huisman Family Dentistry, you’ll get a smile that’s just right for you. One that’s not too white, but just right. Look at our Smile Gallery and you’ll see nothing but beautiful, natural-looking smiles.

If you live in the Grand Rapids area (that includes Holland, Zeeland, Hudsonville, Douglas and other nearby towns), call our Holland dental office at 616.396.5919. We’ll help you achieve a terrific looking smile in just a very short period of time.

We all make resolutions at the start of the new year. Many of those resolutions are geared towards better health, such as dieting or exercising more. Did you ever think of a smile makeover as one of the best things you can do to improve your health and wellbeing, as well as your appearance?

Cosmetic dentistry in Holland, MI is as much about good health as it is about a beautiful smile. Just a few benefits of a smile makeover include:

• Missing teeth can make it difficult to chew and can change the contours of your face; they can be replaced with dental bridges or implant dentistry.
• Tooth size, shape, color, length and width can be changed with veneers or crowns. More symmetrical teeth provide a better structure for your face.
• Chipped, worn, broken teeth get worse over time, leading to gum disease or lost teeth. They can be restored with crowns or porcelain veneers.
• Ugly metal, mercury-containing fillings can be replaced with tooth colored restorations that are stronger for your teeth.

Our patients often tell us at first that they never want to show their teeth, or they’re so frustrated they want their teeth pulled out! Once they’ve had their smile made over by Dr. Jeff Huisman, they tell us how great they feel about their smiles and what a difference its made in their lives. Dr. Huisman is a perfectionist who will create a beautiful, natural-looking smile that’s in proportion to your face. He uses the most advanced and gentle dental technologies to transform your smile.
