You Owe It to Yourself
Finally achieving a great looking, bright smile can mean a lot. Especially if negative feelings about your smile have been holding you back in life, causing self-consciousness about your overall appearance. Whether you are worried about a job interview, going on a date, or meeting with business clients, there are many instances in which a bright white smile can improve your confidence.
Brighten Up Your Smile
If you’re unhappy with the appearance of your teeth due to stains or other discolorations, first consider some changes in diet/habits to avoid these stain-causing factors.
- Avoid drinking coffee, tea, cola, red wine, or fruit juice
- No tobacco use, in any of its forms
- Avoid eating berries, cherries, or plums
- No flavoring meals with soy sauce or curry
But even if you strictly follow the above advice, your teeth still may be darkened due to the natural effects of aging. Or perhaps you are just looking for quick, dramatic results. In these instances, we can recommend teeth whitening, performed either at our office in a single short visit or over the course of a few weeks with at-home whitening trays.
There are various options that are sure to fit your exact teeth whitening needs, so please contact us for a consultation. And be sure to remember your regular dental check-ups as the best way to maintain and improve your oral health.
Dr. Angela Burns moved to Austin 10 years ago and instantly fell in love with our beautiful city. Dr. Burns is originally from the Texarkana area. She attended Texas A&M for her undergraduate degree and The University of Tennessee Health Science Center for her degree in dental surgery (DDS). Dr. Burns is committed to providing her patients with gentle, technologically advanced dental treatment. She attends an average of 60 hours of continuing education every year. She is a member of the American Dental Association, the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, the Texas Dental Association, and the Capital Area Dental Society. Dr. Burns and her husband, Gary, have an 11-year-old daughter, Sydney, who is a proud 6th grader at Hill Country Middle School. She is also very involved in the Eanes PTO, her church, and loves raising her family in the Westlake community. “Growing up, I was drawn to mediating and helping others feel more included and less anxious. I was a camp counselor, student government officer and being the oldest of five, I was the family mediator. I found that I had a calling to help alleviate stressful situations for others and realized that being a good listener was something that was key to this. These skills really helped guide me into becoming a dentist that has based my practice on relationships, empathy and a sense of comfort. I knew that I wanted to provide an atmosphere that felt like home when others walked in. Our practice is small, personal and state of the art and we hope you feel like you’re hanging out with friends when you are here!” When she is not practicing dentistry, Dr. Burns enjoys traveling, hiking the greenbelt, enjoying Austin’s music scene, and eating Amy’s Ice Cream.
