Let’s Talk About Your Smile

Wednesday, August 4th, 2010

Let’s Talk About Your SmileI am Dr. Michael Wong of the San Mateo Center for Cosmetic Dentistry. Our office is located at 256 N. San Mateo Drive, Suite 8, San Mateo, CA 94401. One of the best things about being a San Mateo area dentist is interacting with patients. During initial dental consultations, I listen carefully to my patient’s short and long term dental goals.

I enjoy discussing options and developing effective treatment plans tailored specifically to each person. Some of our clients desire a total smile makeover. We explain in detail the treatments available including teeth whitening, dental veneers, orthodontia, crown restoration, and dental implants.

If a client is nervous about undergoing treatment, we discuss oral conscious sedation. Sleep dentistry, sometimes called sedation dentistry, is a great option for anxious patients. Dental visits do not have to be painful!

After the treatment has been completed, it is very gratifying for us to see our patient’s reaction to their new smile.

We never get tired of creating dramatic smile transformations for the best clients in California!

If you have been considering a smile makeover, let’s talk about your smile. Call the San Mateo Center for Cosmetic Dentistry to schedule a cosmetic dentistry consultation.

San Mateo Teeth Whitening and Veneers

Wednesday, July 7th, 2010

lp_teethwhiteningandveneersTeeth whitening is a popular cosmetic dentistry procedure in San Mateo and throughout California.

Numerous ads for whitening products in our local San Mateo media contain terms such as ‘white brite’, ‘22 carbamide peroxide’ and ‘peroxide teeth’. They look tempting, but how do you separate tooth whitening fact from fiction?

First, and especially for our local San Mateo California patients, we recommend talking to Dr. Michael Wong at our San Mateo office. Just because teeth whitening products are readily available, it doesn’t mean they are all safe or appropriate for every person. Getting a professional opinion is a good first step.

Don’t be fooled by smile whitening hype and risk damage, especially if you need tetracycline teeth whitening. If you have existing cosmetic dental work such as crowns, bonding, partial dentures or bridge work, it is especially important to talk to a San Diego dental professional about worry free dentistry teeth whitening.

Teeth whitening kits are not the only way to quickly improve your smile. Many of your neighbors have benefited from porcelain veneers. There are several brands of veneers such as Lumineers by Cerinate, da Vinci and Mac. We can help you decide on which is best for you.

Veneers are sometimes called ‘instant orthodontics’ because they can correct tooth misalignment and gaps as well as provide instant teeth whitening.

Porcelain veneers can also fix chipped teeth and cover stains. The vast majority of San Mateo veneer recipients are extremely pleased with the results.

Affordable Teeth Whitening?

Wednesday, June 30th, 2010

Affordable San Mateo Tooth Whitening If you are like most San Mateo web users, you have probably seen the multitude of ads for ‘free teeth whitening kits’.

Some show a ‘real Birlingame mom’ who discovered a ‘tooth whitening secret’. Others assure you that their system is the one that ‘Hillsborough dentists don’t want you to know about’. Many contain a link to a page that contains a convincing Foster City tooth whitening testimonial. They bolster their legitimacy by aligning themselves with respected companies such as CNN, USA Today and Forbes.

Unfortunately, most of these are rip-offs. In a recent article, the Better Business Bureau explains the scam:

The countless Web sites for various teeth whitening products claim to offer a no-risk, money back guarantee, free trial of the product. To sign up, customers must provide a credit or debit card number to cover shipping. Complainants to BBB state that they are billed before their trial ends and continue to be billed after they have told the company they want to cancel.

Complainants also may find mystery charges for other companies and services that they didn’t realize they were signing up for with their ‘free’ trial.

The BBB has received complaints about the following company/product names:

  • Dazzle White
  • White Smile
  • Teeth Smile
  • Dazzle Smile
  • Ivory White
  • Max White
  • My Whitening
  • Gleaming White Smile
  • Advanced Wellness Research

Don’t trust your smile to an internet scammer. Your San Mateo tooth whitening dental office is the only place for safe teeth bleaching. You don’t want to take a chance with your credit card number or your tooth enamel! Call us at Michael A. Wong, DDS for advanced cosmetic dentistry and worry-free tooth whitening. You can reach us at 650-295-0016

Veneers Create Stunning Smiles in San Mateo

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010

Veneers Create Stunning Smiles in San Mateo Veneers have myriad applications in San Mateo cosmetic smile dentistry. With veneers, you can transform your smile without significant restorative dental work.

Is your tooth enamel worn and thin? Tooth-colored porcelain veneers have the translucency of healthy tooth enamel. Many San Mateo dental clients have received veneers to cover worn enamel. Some believe they look twenty years younger!

Have your teeth developed uneven edges? Tooth grinding, natural wear and other factors can roughen tooth edges. Veneers are a minimally invasive correction for uneven tooth edges. Veneers are a popular treatment for Birlingame cosmetic dentistry patients.

Do you have chips or cracks in your teeth? If your teeth are otherwise healthy, veneers provide a flawless tooth surface. Are your teeth yellow or gray? Veneers can fix that, too. Veneers can be fabricated in any shade to perk up your smile while still blending naturally with your skin tones.

Porcelain veneers are paper-thin, tooth-shaped covers that are affixed to the front of teeth. Traditional veneers required the removal of a thin layer of tooth structure. Prepless veneers are applied to unaltered teeth.

Veneers are strong, natural looking and one of the most affordable cosmetic dentistry procedures in Hillsborough and Foster City. Veneers are usually far less expensive than complete crowns, yet they are just as strong and beautiful.

San Mateo aesthetic dentists love veneers because they correct a multitude of tooth problems. At Michael A. Wong, DDS, we would be happy to show you what veneers can do for you. Michael A. Wong, DDS is located at 256 N. San Mateo Drive, Suite 8 in San Mateo. We provide premium dental care for many of your friends and neighbors in the greater San Mateo area. Our phone number is 650-295-0016.

Tooth Sensitivity Treatment in San Mateo

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

Tooth Sensitivity Treatment in San Mateo Have you ever been eating an ice cream cone in San Mateo when you felt a sudden jolt of pain in one of your teeth? If the enamel is eroded, or the gums have receded, the dentin layer of the tooth is exposed. The substances that cause tooth pain travel to the pulp where the nerves of the tooth are located. Ouch!

Tooth sensitivity can be a signal that something is wrong. It may be caused by periodontal disease or bacteria build-up in a crack in a tooth.

Enamel erosion can be caused by a number of factors including acidic foods and drinks, teeth grinding, or cracked teeth. If your teeth are sensitive following a professional teeth whitening such as the ones we do here at Michael A. Wong, DDS, the sensitivity will probably be gone in a few weeks.

Surprisingly, one cause of gum recession for our San Mateo patients is brushing too hard. That’s right; it is possible to brush too hard!

If you experience constant or intermittent pain in your teeth or gums, call 650-295-0016 right away to make an appointment. Michael Wong takes tooth pain seriously.

At Michael A. Wong, DDS in San Mateo, we not only treat tooth sensitivity problems, we also perform entire smile makeovers for cosmetic dentistry patients in the Birlingame and Hillsborough areas. You’ll find us at 256 N. San Mateo Drive, Suite 8 in San Mate0 (Zip 94401).

Porcelain Veneers and Instant Orthodontics For San Mateo

Monday, April 26th, 2010

San Mateo Porcelain Veneers and Instant Orthodontics If you have been paying attention to the San Mateo orthodontics scene in recent years, you probably know about invisible braces and speed braces. These new teeth straightening procedures have been welcomed by many people, especially San Mateo adults who want an alternative to traditional metal braces.

There’s more good news for Birlingame dentistry clients who want to straighten their teeth. How about ‘instant orthodontics’?

If you want immediate teeth straightening, you can smile sooner with porcelain veneers from Michael A. Wong, DDS!

The key to achieving a celebrity smile may be porcelain veneers for your teeth from a San Mateo cosmetic dentist. Michael Wong at Michael A. Wong, DDS can help you determine if porcelain veneer dentistry is for you. Ongoing education is essential for elite cosmetic dentists who work to continually provide the latest procedures and materials for their cosmetic and orthodontic clients. We can help.

In addition to correcting tooth alignment, porcelain veneers are used to whiten teeth and restore chipped teeth in Hillsborough and Foster City. Porcelain veneers are attached to the front of teeth and often require no removal of healthy tooth structure. Another advantage? They are less expensive than complete crown restorations but look just as natural. -Actually, they look far better than most natural teeth!

For an instant orthodontic consultation, call Michael A. Wong, DDS at 650-295-0016. Porcelain veneers may be the best way for you to receive a smile makeover at a fraction of the cost.

Love Your Smile in San Mateo

Sunday, April 18th, 2010

Love Your Smile in San Mateo There is nothing like bright white teeth that light up a person’s whole face when they smile and laugh. No one has to settle for dull, yellow teeth.

This is a great time to get a deep teeth cleaning and tooth whitening at Michael A. Wong, DDS in San Mateo. With a deep cleaning followed by teeth bleaching, your teeth will feel as good as they look.

If you have an important upcoming event such as a wedding, party or formal family portrait sitting, a smile makeover will give you extra confidence as you pose for photos (even close-ups).

San Mateo teeth bleaching can whiten teeth beyond their natural shade. At our cosmetic dentistry practice, we don’t use a conventional shade chart for our whitening clients anymore. You have probably seen the porcelain tabs in graduated shades that dentists use to determine appropriate, yet natural looking, shades for tooth restorations. We now use a shade guide with levels significantly whiter than the guides we have used in the past. Tooth whitening is not a gimmick; it is safe and incredibly effective. California tooth bleaching clients can maintain a white shade that equals the brightness of the ‘tooth’ models you see in dental marketing.

San Mateo tooth whitening following twice-yearly cleanings is the most affordable cosmetic dentistry procedure. Tooth bleaching is comparable to the cost of a professional hair weaving and cut, but when you consider the transformation; there is no comparison! Flash your gorgeous, sparkling smile, and no one will even notice your hair.

Live Better With Dental Implants in San Mateo

Friday, March 26th, 2010

San Mateo Implant Dentistry Ill-fitting dentures cause more problems for San Mateo denture wearers than they solve. If you live with loose dentures, you probably regard them as a necessary evil. Though they certainly look better than a toothless mouth, in practical terms they leave much to be desired because they affect two essential activities: eating and talking.

Unfortunately, many frustrated denture wearers have quit dining in restaurants or engaging in social activities because they are afraid their dentures will slip.

Implant dental procedures at Michael A. Wong, DDS in San Mateo are allowing former Hillsborough denture patients to re-engage in life.

Consider the advantages of implant anchored dentures:

  • They are stable because the implant is anchored in the bone.
  • Your denture is fixed, it will not move around in your mouth.
  • They prevent bone loss that typically occurs when teeth are removed.
  • They eliminate the necessity of regular denture relines.
  • They do not irritate gums.
  • No denture adhesive is required.

Our dental implant bone clients who have replaced their traditional dentures with implant overdentures enthusiastically say that the dental implant cost was more than worth it.

Do you want to eat normally again? What is the value of maintaining your facial shape? Can you put a price on confidence?

If you want more information about dental implants, call 650-295-0016 to schedule an implant tooth consultation with Michael Wong. Michael A. Wong, DDS is located at 256 N. San Mateo Drive, Suite 8 in San Mateo. We have been providing advanced dental care since 1983.
