Tooth whitening has become one of the most popular dental procedures in California. It seems that everyone in Fremont is whitening their teeth to help their smiles look younger and brighter. Many consumers are turning to over-the-counter solutions to whiten their teeth, however their can be dangers and pitfalls to this approach.
Here is some basic advice on tooth whitening from Colin Yoshida DDS:
First, we encourage you to visit our office in Fremont before starting a tooth whitening system. It is a good idea to have your teeth checked and analyzed before starting a tooth whitening program. Tooth whitening is not for everyone, and depends on your dental history.
Dr. Yoshida can help you determine whether your teeth can be whitened safely and effectively. We can also recommend tooth whitening solutions that will work best for you. Colin Yoshida DDS is a good place to start for this important decision.
There are many pitfalls to be aware of when whitening your teeth. Over-the-counter teeth whitening products available in the Fremont area will provide varying degrees of effectiveness on your teeth. If used improperly, tooth whitening solutions can cause problems including tooth sensitivity, over whitening, damage to your tooth enamel, and irregular coloration. Whitening too much can even have a reverse effect, making your teeth look gray.
Most tooth whitening product manufacturers recommend that you visit your local Fremont dentist when things go wrong with your over-the-counter tooth whitening solution. We recommend you begin with the leading edge treatment in a warm and friendly atmosphere professionals at Colin Yoshida DDS to get started with a tooth whitening solution that will give you the best results.

Wishing for a Fremont whiter smile but not sure how to get it? New to California smile tooth whitening lingo? At Colin Yoshida DDS, we educate clients on the variety of affordable teeth whiting treatments; from whitening trays to teeth bleaching. We do smile whitening every day.
Almost every toothpaste claims to whiten teeth, but as we age our teeth gradually turn yellow or gray, despite all the whitening toothpastes we use regularly. Tooth enamel, while one of the hardest substances in the body, is porous. Over time, the food and drinks that comes in contact with our teeth cause staining and discoloration. You probably have already discovered that a toothbrush cannot clean these microscopic pores.
Carbamide peroxide and hydrogen peroxide are the two main smile whitening ingredients. They can penetrate the outer layer of your teeth to remove the build-up, and help restore whitening to teeth. Call Colin Yoshida DDS at (510) 745-1800 to schedule an appointment and we will explain the difference between these tooth bleaching ingredients and how they may affect your Fremont smile whitening results.
At-home teeth whitening products are probably not a good choice if you have crowns or veneers. You could end up with extremely uneven results or possible damage to your existing cosmetic dentistry.
We know the best teeth bleaching options and can recommend the perfect white smile solution for you.
At -Dr. Colin Yoshida, we hope to see you soon. Give us a call at (510) 745-1800.

When my Fremont clients ask me about Fremont tooth restoration, I usually tell them about fixed (or ‘traditional’) dental bridges or tooth implants. A dental bridge is an artificial tooth which replaces a missing tooth. The false tooth (called a ‘pontic’) is fused to porcelain crowns on either side of the missing tooth.
Tooth replacement has been a highly requested procedure at my Fremont dental practice. Patients have expressed concern about tooth replacement for many years. Most of my questions in the Hayward area have to do with the strength of the tooth replacement, and durability.
Dental implants are also popular concern for my tooth replacement patients. A dental implant consists of a titanium post surgically inserted into the jaw bone to replace the root of the missing tooth. The post integrates with the bone to provide a stable foundation for the replacement tooth.
After it has bonded with the bone (it usually takes three to six months), a smaller post is attached. This post extends above the gum line. The artificial tooth (crown) is then attached. The entire process takes several months, but consistently yields terrific results for Fremont tooth restoration patients. My California cosmetic dentistry patients appreciate the fact that I stay up to date on the latest advancements in tooth replacement procedures.
Both California smile restoration options preserve or restore facial contour and allow you to talk and eat normally. Tooth replacements prevent adjoining teeth from gradually shifting and can help correct bite problems, too. Tooth implants and dental bridges can replace one or more missing teeth. Many dental patients have been treated successfully with these tooth restoration alternatives.
Call Colin Yoshida DDS and ask for Dr. Yoshida to schedule an evaluation for California tooth restoration. You can schedule your tooth restoration by calling us at (510) 745-1800.

Periodontal disease in California is more common than you might think, and can be cured with varying degrees of treatment depending on the severity.
What is periodontal disease? According to an article on Wikipedia, periodontal disease is ‘the name of a collection of inflammatory diseases affecting the tissues that surround and support the teeth.’
Periodontal disease, more commonly called ‘gum disease’, is an inflammation or infection of the gums. Periodontal disease can be very painful in some extreme conditions, and can limit your ability to eat normally. In some cases, periodontal disease can affect your smile, and can create cosmetic concerns.
If left untreated, periodontal disease can cause irreversible damage. When caught early and treated, periodontal disease can be little more than an inconvenience. However the best policy is to practice good dental hygiene to keep periodontal disease at bay.
One of the best ways to avoid periodontal disease is to get a regular dental check up at your local Fremont dentist.
Give us a call at (510) 745-1800 to schedule your next dental checkup; we look forward to seeing you.

On May 22, 2010 Dr. Colin Yoshida, DDS will host for the fourth time a No Cost Emergency Treatment Day event, which is a free day of dentistry for anyone who needs it. As a growing number of Americans lack dental insurance, we felt this was a great way to help out and give back to our community.

With a new facility and venue this year, we would like to find more volunteer dentists and dental assistants to help us make a difference in the community.

Do you have a damaged tooth that causes you embarrassment? Even if all your other teeth are nicely shaped and pearly white, guess what other people notice? Yep, the ugly duckling. You have probably experienced that yourself when you have looked at a smile that contains one discolored tooth. No matter how hard you try, the unsightly one is impossible to ignore.
A beautiful smile is an important component of your overall appearance. Unattractive teeth draw the eye away from other pleasing features such as thick shiny hair, gorgeous eyes or a peaches and cream complexion.
Fortunately, there are several cosmetic dental procedures to restore or repair one or more teeth. At Colin Yoshida DDS in Fremont, we can complete most of them in one short visit. Think about it; you could achieve a stunning smile in less than an afternoon!
Veneers, Bonding and Cosmetic Implant Dentistry
Dental bonding is an affordable cosmetic dentistry procedure available in Fremont at Colin Yoshida DDS. We use dental bonding in a variety of applications. In addition to repairing damage, dental bonding can close gaps between teeth. Porcelain veneers are another minimally invasive cosmetic fix. Like cosmetic dental bonding, veneers correct chips, cracks and improve tooth shape.
What if your problem is not an unattractive tooth but a missing tooth? Don’t despair, a beautiful smile is still possible in Hayward with dental implants.
For more information about veneers, bonding, implants and other cosmetic denistry procedures, call Colin Yoshida DDS at (510) 745-1800. We are conveniently located at 3885 Beacon Avenue, Suite C, in Fremont, CA. We provide advanced dentistry for patients in Union City, Newark and the surrounding areas. We look forward to showing you cosmetic dentistry ‘before after’ pictures.
