Happy couple smiling brightlyIf you find yourself feeling insecure or even embarrassed about the color of your teeth, you are certainly not alone. In fact, most Americans report at least some level of desire to brighten the shade of their teeth, saying that a whiter smile makes them look and feel more youthful and attractive. At the Norman, OK office of Dr. Bobby J. Carmen, our team of dental professionals performs a variety of cosmetic dentistry treatments for more beautiful smiles, including KöR Teeth Whitening.

Why Professional Teeth Whitening?

Unlike the teeth whitening strips, trays, pens, and gels that you can buy at your local drugstore, our professional whitening services deliver real results that last. Dr. Carmen offers his patients the advantage of KöR Whitening, a deep bleaching teeth whitening system that has the ability to lighten even the most severely stained teeth by up to 16 shades! Over-the-counter solutions are not nearly as powerful, typically only whitening by two to three shades.

In addition to the impressive whitening power of KöR Deep Bleaching, this system offers numerous other benefits. Sensitivity, for example, is not a problem with this product as it is with the majority of teeth whitening solutions on the market today. In fact, the majority of patients treated with the KöR Whitening system report feeling no sensitivity to the formula whatsoever, and even those who did claimed that the mild feeling they did experience was far less than with any other system they’d tried. Within as little as two weeks with the KöR Deep Bleaching system from Dr. Carmen, you’ll be smiling with whiter, more beautiful teeth.

Treatment for Impacted Wisdom Teeth from Dr. Bobby J. Carmen in Norman, OK

shutterstock_149966333Wisdom tooth extraction is a procedure that has been notoriously connected to extreme pain and inconvenience, but this often necessary surgery needn’t be so daunting or dreaded. In fact, with a dentist who is as caring as he is experienced and skilled, the management of impacted wisdom teeth can be quite a simple process. At the Norman, OK office of Dr. Bobby J. Carmen, our team performs comprehensive general dentistry – including impacted wisdom tooth extraction – in a way that ensures your comfort and oral health from the moment you walk into our practice.

The Importance of Managing Wisdom Tooth Impaction

It is possible for wisdom teeth to develop normally, but in most individuals, this is not the case. When these extraneous molars are misaligned in any way, their development can begin to negatively affect surrounding teeth, gums, jaw bone, and other tissues in the oral cavity. Other teeth in the mouth may begin to crowd as the growing wisdom teeth place an inordinate amount of pressure on otherwise healthy teeth. Excessive crowding not only mars the aesthetic appeal of your smile, but can contribute to severe periodontal disease, tooth decay, and the need for orthodontic intervention.

When a wisdom tooth becomes impacted, it may remain locked beneath the gums or partially break through the tissue around it. A break in the gum tissue is approximately equal to an invitation for bacteria to accumulate there, potentially leading to infection and severe discomfort. The patient may suffer extreme headaches due to the pressure this applies to delicate nerves in the area. Fortunately, surgical removal of the offending teeth instantly halts this process, offering relief from pain and preventing further damage to other oral structures.
