Have you ever envied a celebrity with a radiant smile and wondered how you could have pearly whites just like theirs? Well now, Dr. Gary Sasaki and team here in Ypsilanti can help you out!

Celebrities have jobs that require them to be in the spotlight constantly! They go to great lengths to whiten their smiles and keep them radiant. Even when they’re off screen, taking care of their teeth is a huge priority. So, it’s our guess that most celebrities opt for the upper-end whitening solutions with professional whitening services. It’s likely you’ll never hear about movie stars using over-the-counter whitening strips or gels, simply because they want the most brilliant results!

Dr. Gary Sasaki and team at The Dental Spa understand that you’d also like to see brilliant results. And fortunately, we can help you achieve that ‘celebrity smile‘ without spending the celebrity price.

From now through June, we’re partnering with Discus Dental (makers of professional teeth whitening products) and the Smiles For Life Foundation to professionally whiten people’s teeth WITH 100 PERCENT OF THE PROCEEDS GOING TO CHILDRENS’ CHARITIES. Your donation will go to charities that help children here in Ypsilanti and throughout the world.

Click the button on the right to make your appointment at The Dental Spa today, or call us at 734-482-7466. With our help, you’ll love your beautiful smile and feel just like a celebrity! And you’ll be helping kids at the same time!

After Dr. Gary Sasaki and team here in Ypsilanti whiten your smile, you can help ensure that your pearly whites will not loose their splendor! Naturally over time, common staining will occur. To help slow down that process, Dr. Sasaki offers helpful and everyday tips to make your bright smile last.

First, rinse daily with peroxide or mouthwash. Not only do these products improve oral hygiene and cut down on bacteria, but they also have an effect on whitening your teeth. Additionally, there are many over-the-counter mouthwashes with an extra whitening agent which will help prolong your whitened smile.

Another natural teeth whitening remedy is to regularly consume foods and drinks that fight bacteria, such as straight cranberry juice and celery. Doing so reduces the amount of plaque on your teeth which enhances their white appearance.

There are some materials (and daily practices) to avoid because they will stain your teeth over time. These include coffee, tea, soft drinks, red wine, smoking, and even some medications. If you cannot cut these out of your life, simply rinse your mouth out each time after you use them.

We probably don’t need to remind you, but brushing your teeth correctly a couple times a day will greatly help you keep your white smile. You may choose a toothpaste with extra whitening or baking soda to help the process. Proper brushing technique should take you at least two minutes using short brush strokes, paying close attention to the gum line and hard-to-reach areas. Clean the outer surfaces of your upper, then lower teeth, as well as inner surfaces. Finally, don’t forget the chewing surfaces and your tongue. Using good brushing techniques for 120 seconds will improve oral hygiene, and permanent stains will not build up as fast.

As you can see, it doesn’t take too much effort or money to make your whitened smile last. If you have any questions or would like additional tips on how to make your fresh, white smile last, call Dr. Sasaki today at 734-482-7466. And if you haven’t made that teeth whitening appointment yet, with ALL proceeds going to childrens’ charities; click on the button to your right to make an appointment now!

A recent survey by Mintel/Greenfield Online showed that 67 percent of American adults have tried to whiten their teeth in one way or another. Whether they’ve been professionally whitened by their dentist, or used toothpastes and strips, people across the board see the value in having a white smile. But with all of these people whitening, are they following sound procedures and whitening safely?

Below are a few tips on how you can whiten safely so your smile is not only brilliant, but also healthy.

1. Get a dental check-up. Let your dentist know if you experience sensitivity when you whiten your teeth. Dr. Sasaki and team are happy to help you prevent potential problems.
2. Follow whitening directions. They’re not just guidelines… They’re given to help you achieve healthy teeth while avoiding damage.
3. Do not use whitening products longer than directed. This can result in tooth sensitivity and gum discomfort.
4. Aim for a natural white. If you whiten too much, your teeth may become translucent or even start to have a bluish tint. If you try to match the whites in your eyes, your smile will look most radiant.
5. Consider changing your habits such as smoking or drinking tea, cola, or coffee. By limiting the use of these products, discoloration will not be as prevalent.

Most people agree that the very best way to whiten teeth is with a competent dental practice such as The Dental Spa.

From now until June Dr. Gary Sasaki and our dental pratice in Ypsilanti are participating with the Smiles For Life Foundation and Discus Dental (makers of professional teeth whitening products). Not only will you benefit from professional whitening, but all of the proceeds help children in need. Add TEETH WHITENING to your ‘To-Do List’ by calling us at 734-482-7466 or just clicking on the ‘Make Appointment’ button on the right.

With so many teeth whitening options in Ypsilanti, understanding the pros and cons for different solutions can help you make the best decision for you.

The most common and cheapest product for whitening you’ll find in Ypsilanti is a whitening toothpaste. They help remove surface stains while gently polishing and providing mild stain removal. Because they don’t contain bleach, teeth will only be lightened up to one color shade.

Whitening strips and gels are also popular around Ypsilanti. They’re usually peroxide-based and applied for two weeks, twice a day. Although it takes a lot of time and more money out of your pocket, sometimes the results can last up to three or four months.

Another whitening product is whitening rinses; one of the newest options available to the local Ypsilanti market. They reduce plaque buildup and help prevent gum disease, but it can take up to 12 weeks to see results. Also, because of the small amount of contact time these rinses have on teeth, they often have a minimal effect.

Dr. Gary Sasaki and team here in Ypsilanti are offering another solution… It’s the most effective way to whiten your teeth; professional smile whitening. Right now, we’re offering discounted whitening through June because we’ve partnered with the Smiles For Life Foundation and Discus Dental (makers of professional teeth whitening products). We are donating 100 percent of the proceeds to childrens’s charities. Discus is donating all of the materials and we are donating all of our time.

So as you weigh out all of the different options of teeth whitening, remember that Dr. Gary Sasaki and team offer immediate and significant whitening results for an affordable donation. Please give us a call at 734-482-7466 or click the button on the right to make an appointment today! And thanks for whitening your smile so a child can smile for life.

It’s interesting how average American adults in Ypsilanti spend their money.

A typical Ypsilanti adult spends about $17,000 a year on housing, $9,000 on transportation, $6,000 on food, $2,500 on entertainment, and $2,000 on apparel*. Think of how many times you’ve had food at home, but would rather stop for dinner because it’s easier or more convenient. Or, how many times you go for the upgrade, whether it’s on the car you bought or simply adding a drink to your meal. Or, when was the last time you paid to have your car washed instead of doing it yourself, or decided NOT to pack your lunch even though you knew it would save you money?

Each day, we spend extra money on unnecessary items or rituals when we could have saved for something better and more meaningful.

Here’s an idea…

Make a goal to stop spending frivolously, and start investing sensibly. Make a tiny adjustment in daily expenditures to do something for yourself that really makes a difference, and helps another person at the same time.

Here’s your first assignment! Here at The Dental Spa in Ypsilanti, Dr. Sasaki and team are offering a discount on whitening services WITH 100 PERCENT OF THE PROCEEDS GOING DIRECTLY TO CHILDRENS’ CHARITIES. Discus Dental is donating ALL of the professional smile whitening materials and we are donating ALL our time. Kids see the benefit.

Now through June, we’re participating with other dentists across the country to raise money for disabled and underprivileged children. When you whiten your teeth at The Dental Spa, you’ll not only feel the satisfaction of using your money in a valuable way, but you’ll also be investing in children who really need the help.

Save your money for a good cause by making an appointment today. Use the button on the right, or, if you have additional questions, call our Smiles For Life office coordinator directly at 734-482-7466.
