How can we help you?
Patient education is an essential part of the services we provide at Bethlehem Town Family Dental. When you understand the impact that your oral health can have on your life, you’re more likely to be proactive about dental care.
Nobody expects you to know everything about dentistry, which is why we’re available to answer all your questions. The more information you have, the better prepared you are to make important decisions when the time comes. All the answers below are written by our team instead of some template that is used by hundreds of other dental offices.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Learning how long professional teeth whitening in Glenmont, NY, lasts requires a consultation with your dentist. It’s essential to understand why your teeth are stained and if there are ways to prevent it from recurring.
As a rule, teeth whitening can last for a few years if you follow the tips provided by your dentist. For example, we recommend quitting if your teeth are discolored due to smoking. If your teeth have yellowed because of certain medications, that is another issue.
In our dental office, we offer three types of teeth whitening:
- In-office teeth whitening
- At-home teeth whitening—custom trays
- At-home teeth whitening—easy-fit trays
At your initial consultation, your dentist will learn more about your smile goals and the whitening level you hope to achieve. We can also let you know what to expect following treatment and provide advice for keeping your teeth white longer.

When you whiten your teeth under the directions of your Glenmont, NY dentist, the treatment is very safe. We arrange a consultation before your teeth whitening to ensure that this is so. However, we can’t speak for store-bought systems, kits, and gels.
Whitening your teeth on your own can damage enamel, lead to tooth sensitivity, and leave you with uneven results.
Your consultation lets us know whether our products are suitable for your needs, and we don’t start treatment until your dentist makes this determination. Considerations for okaying treatment include restoration health, underlying oral health conditions, and your unique smile goals.
Our professional teeth whitening options include:
- In-office teeth whitening
- At-home teeth whitening—custom trays
- At-home teeth whitening—easy-fit trays
Your dentist may recommend one of these treatments or a combination of whitening systems for best results. Sometimes, this depends on your specific smile goals or what you hope to achieve with professional teeth whitening.

Silver fillings, also called amalgams, have been placed for decades and have served their purpose in dentistry. However, there are a few fundamental problems with silver fillings:
- They continue to introduce mercury into the environment. Patients are also generally concerned about mercury exposure.
- They do not actually adhere to tooth structure, which means they only physically sit there in the cavity space. This results in an abundance of fractures caused by large silver fillings.
- They don't look very good and they can even stain your teeth dark.
- Patients don't typically want to put more metals in their mouth.
How We Solved the Problem
With the recent advancement in resin composite material, also called tooth - colored fillings, we are able to solve all the above problems. Tooth - colored fillings are very technique sensitive and new technology and products continue to be developed. Dr. Henry only uses tooth - colored fillings and has been placing them for years. He always keep up with the most recent technology and techniques to ensure the fillings are placed properly. We strongly believe tooth - colored fillings are the future of dentistry.
