What causes your teeth to be less than a sparkling shade of pearly white? There are multiple factors that influence your teeth's current color. Genetics, age, smoking, certain foods and drinks, antibiotics, and even excessive teeth grinding can all contribute to your smile's yellowing. Fortunately, as a general, family, and cosmetic dentistry practice, we have the expertise, tools, resources, products, and advice to help you get your smile back on the white spectrum.
Did you know that your smile is one of the first things that another person notices about you? Did you know that when you smile, it is likely to cause someone else to smile? Did you know that a face makes a smile, and a smile makes a face? That may be our motto at Parker Dentistry Facial Rejuvenation and Wellness, but it's a true statement! Last one, did you know that Americans spend an average of $1.4 billion a year on teeth-whitening products, according to the National Institute of Teeth Whitening?
Some of the easiest pieces of advice that we can offer to you in regard to helping fight stains and brighten up your smile is through your diet, oral hygiene practices, and lifestyle choices. We also have an incredible and affordable in-office whitening treatment to amp up that wow factor in your smile!

- The new, revolutionary tooth whitening system that can erase years from your looks in a single 90-minute visit. Zoom whitening, developed by Philips, is the #1 patient-requested professional whitening treatment, capable of safely brightening your teeth by up to eight shades. In fact, it's the #1 patient-requested professional whitening treatment, owing to even results, amazing convenience and minimal tooth sensitivity following the treatment.

The advanced gel gently penetrates the sub-micron pores of tooth enamel to break down stains and eliminate years of discoloration.
