shutterstock_151234010Summertime is finally here, and with it come the many fun activities and social gatherings we all associate with the season. As you prepare to hit the beach, hang out at the pool, or head out to barbecue parties with family and friends, you want to be sure that you look your best. Is your smile summer-ready? At Cowlitz River Dental in Castle Rock, WA, Dr. L. Blaine Kennington and his team offer an extensive array of cosmetic dentistry services that help your smile shine, including professional teeth whitening treatments.

Why Choose Professional Teeth Whitening?

Unlike the teeth whitening kits you can buy over-the-counter at your local pharmacy or grocery store, the professional whitening services we offer produce quick, lasting results that brighten your smile by multiple shades, all in a way that is safe for your teeth and gums.

Because we know that your time is a valuable commodity and that convenience is key, we offer two teeth whitening options for men and women seeking a brilliantly lustrous smile that still looks natural. Both in-office teeth whitening and take-home teeth whitening kits are available, giving you flexibility and the power to choose which treatment best fits your needs.

In-office teeth whitening is ideal for patients looking to transform their smile in a single visit. In as little as an hour, you’ll see years of deep, set-in stains lifted from your enamel, revealing the gorgeously white smile you’ve always wanted. For patients who would prefer to whiten at home, we’ll create a set of custom teeth whitening trays that precisely fit your unique dentition. This helps ensure that the special whitening formula we provide effectively and evenly brightens each and every tooth. You’ll love your results, smiling confidently all summer long and throughout the year.

Your Beautiful Smile, Only Brighter

This summer, be sure that your smile makes all the right first impressions. Take advantage of our safe, effective, and proven teeth whitening services to reveal your most luminous, confident smile. Dr. Kennington and our friendly staff look forward to helping you achieve lasting results you’ll love with our comprehensive menu of cosmetic dentistry services in Castle Rock, WA. Our state-of-the-art office also serves patients from throughout nearby communities in Kelso, Lewis County, Longview, and beyond. Contact us today to schedule your appointment!

Do I Need to Have My Wisdom Teeth Removed? Vital Information from Dr. Kennington

June 5, 2014

shutterstock_196648349Many people wonder if wisdom tooth removal is something that they need in order to maintain optimal oral health and comfort. Because each patient is unique, the answer to this question depends largely upon a number of factors. At Cowlitz River Dental in Castle Rock, WA, Dr. L. Blaine Kennington and his caring staff are always happy to offer insight and information regarding the status of your oral health, as well as advice that can help you make an informed decision regarding certain procedures – this includes help answering the question, “Do I need wisdom tooth removal?”

Reasons for Wisdom Tooth Removal

There are a number of reasons that wisdom tooth extraction is recommended. In many cases, the presence of wisdom teeth may contribute to the overcrowding of other teeth throughout the mouth. In addition to the cosmetic drawbacks of crowding, this problem can increase your risk of developing tooth decay and periodontal disease due to the fact that crowded teeth are more difficult to clean properly. Another reason that wisdom teeth are removed involves the health of your gums. If a wisdom tooth erupts partially through the gum, the resulting opening in the gingival tissue can serve as a potential site of infection.

The most common reason for wisdom tooth extraction is impaction. When a tooth is impacted, it becomes trapped within the jaw and may cause damage to bone tissue, nerves, and adjacent teeth. Timely removal helps to prevent this damage before it becomes serious and painful for the patient.
