April 29, 2015
How do you feel about your smile? Do you feel comfortable flashing your pearly-whites around your co-workers, friends, and family? Are you proud of the aesthetics of your teeth? If you are not content with the color and look of your teeth, then you are not alone. Discoloration in teeth can have a negative effect on self-esteem, but avoiding stains and dull shades is essentially unavoidable. Food and drinks stain teeth, and yellowing occurs naturally, as you age. Instead of heading to your local store to pick up over-the-counter whitening kits, get the professional teeth whitening treatment from Vanderbrook and Hoppe Dentistry, located in Dallas, TX.

Cosmetic Bonding for the Minor Flaws in Your Smile
December 12, 2014
Is there a little something you’d like to fix about your smile? A chipped or slightly cracked tooth, a couple of teeth that are irregularly spaced or crooked, or teeth that are overly worn. If you see any of these when you smile in the mirror, then cosmetic bonding may be the solution. At the Dallas, TX, office of Vanderbrook and Hoppe Dentistry, Dr. Drew Vanderbrook and Dr. Joanne G. Hoppe, use cosmetic bonding to quickly and effectively create beautiful smiles.
Cosmetic Bonding in a Flash
More often than not, a cosmetic bonding procedure can be completed in just one visit to our office. Dr. Vanderbrook or Dr. Hoppe will use a composite resin and apply it directly to the tooth or your teeth that require repair. But before applying the resin, they use a special color chart to match the composite to your natural tooth color. Using a composite, the dentists can blend colors for a perfect match. In some cases, they may recommend teeth whitening before the cosmetic bonding procedure. Unlike teeth, composite resin cannot be whitened, so you’ll want to make sure that your teeth are the color you desire before the bonding process.
The Cosmetic Bonding Process
Before applying composite resin, the dentist will need to prepare the tooth. Then, the composite resin is applied layer by layer. Each layer is hardened with a special curing light, and finally the dentist artfully molds and sculpts the material to the perfect shape.
Cosmetic bonding can last for years with a bit of tender loving care. Brush and floss daily, schedule regular checkups in our office, and be sure to avoid biting on hard objects such as nuts and bones, because cosmetic bonding materials can chip.
Schedule an Appointment Today
If you’d like to learn more about cosmetic bonding and how to improve your smile, call the office of Vanderbrook and Hoppe Dentistry in Dallas, TX. We conveniently serve patients from East Dallas, Lakewood, North Dallas, Richardson, Garland, and Mesquite and throughout the DFW Metroplex.

November 10, 2014

Teeth become stained for a variety of reasons, including:
- The foods and beverages we consume, such as carrots, tomato sauce, coffee and red wine
- Tobacco use
- Certain medications
- The unavoidable aging process
- Teeth grinding or injury leading to small cracks that collect stain-causing debris
Opalescence Teeth Whitening to the Rescue!
Dr. Drew Vanderbrook and Dr. Joanne Hoppe use Opalescence Boost for the best in teeth whitening and patient comfort. Opalescence Boost relies on the power of hydrogen peroxide to chemically remove stains and make your teeth several shades whiter. In addition, there is the benefit of a reduced risk of teeth sensitivity associated with teeth whitening, because Opalescence Boost contains potassium nitrate, as well as fluoride to strengthen enamel and help prevent cavities. The entire treatment takes only about one hour. Then, you go home with a whiter smile.
To maintain that white smile or to whiten your teeth in the convenience and comfort of home rather than the dentist’s office, Drs. Vanderbrook and Hoppe recommend Opalescence at-home teeth whitening kit. This contains more of the professional strength formula that’s needed for the best results. You’ll be given custom-fitted trays to use with the whitening gel that the doctors select to match your needs. Just wear them as frequently and for the length of time recommended. Your new year’s resolution will be a cinch to keep this year with Opalescence Teeth Whitening!
