Your smile is the way you greet the world. Why not put your best self forward with the confidence of whiter, more radiant smile? From weddings to class reunions, we all have moments when we want to look our best. Sometimes, we need to make a good impression in the work place, or just need that extra boost of self-confidence in our daily lives. No matter what the reason or occasion, there is no greater impact than a beautiful smile!
When it comes to tooth whitening there are many other options, but your dentist is your best resource. Dr. Cowdin has multiple options to choose from to make sure you leave the office with a noticeably whiter and bright smile. Two of the most effective methods are the Boost!® teeth whitening system and KoR teeth whitening system.
Boost!® whitens your teeth by several shades in just one office visit. It works wonderfully for patients whose teeth are already white, but have become stained or lack luster. The KoR system is used for patients with much deeper stains.
Opalescence Boost is a chemically activated power whitening gel that provides brighter, whiter teeth after just 40 minutes in the dental chair. The powerful 40% hydrogen peroxide gel is chemically activated, so it doesn’t require a hot, uncomfortable light to work. Using the unique double-syringe configuration, the clinician activates the 40% hydrogen peroxide formula just prior to application, ensuring every dose of Opalescence Boost is fresh and effective.
