Rohnert Park Braces Itself For Celebrity Dental Secrets

You can have a smile makeover quickly just like your favorite stars, with our 6 month braces, right here in Rohnert Park! Like your favorite celebrities, we have the secrets to invisibly reveal straight teeth in just 6 months time!

Although our prices are extremely reasonable, some celebrities spare no expense to perfect their Hollywood smiles! Take a look at the stars who have put their money where their mouth is. Some of the makeovers are amazing. World Dental researched and found some stars have paid as much as $50,000 to get their perfect smiles. We can achieve the same results for you at a fraction of the cost!
Cheryl Cole was stunning before she underwent her dental procedures. Her teeth were misaligned and had pointed incisors. Her teeth were straightened and the incisors were reshaped to give her the Barbie doll smile she now wears. Whitening repaired her stained teeth and now has beautiful porcelain veneers.



Tulisa Contostavlos not only replaced Cheryl Cole on The X Factor, but the singer also underwent similar dental procedures which turned her from cute to downright gorgeous. Tulisa's just had a £12,000 smile makeover, much like Ms. Cole did at the start of her career.

Zac Efron: From 2004 to man girls adore - what a cutie he is now! Rumors have speculated that Efron spent more than $10,000 removing his gap and his teeth made whiter. We are guessing he wouldn’t want to be 17 again.

How different your sister’s bedroom walls would have looked in the 80's if Tom Cruise hadn’t had his braces. He is a great actor with a charming smile, but he’s had some major dental work to get his straight teeth. Until he was 39, his teeth were dramatically misaligned. His current gorgeous white smile is estimated to have cost more than $30,000 in total including alignment procedures and whitening.

At Sonoma Smiles in Rohnert Park, our Six Month Smiles braces are nearly invisible and the overall outcome of your new smile is much more predictable.  They are a fraction of the cost of other alternatives and are the preferred choice of Dr. Wayne Sutton.  Additionally, to help achieve that "Hollywood Smile", we are offering a free teeth whitening with every dental exam.

Natural Secrets of Rohnert Park Teeth Whitening

White teeth are never out of style which is why we offer free teeth whitening with any dental exam,  we are proud to share 6 natural Rohnert Park teeth whitening secrets as well!

Teeth Whitening in Rohnert Park with the Kor System
It is so sad that 18% of people who have their photo taken feel the need to cover their teeth. The shame that people feel over the appearance of their teeth is one of the reasons that we are in practice. No one should feel ashamed. It seems like every time we turn around we have someone coming in complaining about how their teeth have been discolored by coffee, tea, and or smoking. No matter how much they brush, they are disheartened because the discoloration will not fade. Who wouldn’t want to have a beautiful smile with white sparkling teeth? Here of some natural remedies and foods that will get teeth whiter with items you may already have in your home!
1. Brush and brush
If you smoke or drink coffee, then having your teeth cleaned every three months may be in order in addition to trying some of the natural remedies listed below. Simply brushing after eating or drinking is the easiest and most basic way to brighten that smile. This takes a lot of persistence and schedule finagling but it pays off big at photo time!
2. Hydrogen Peroxide and Baking Soda
As you have learned in our DIY Toothpaste article Hydrogen Peroxide and Baking Soda are great for getting teeth clean but they are also natural teeth whiteners. Mix a small amount of hydrogen peroxide with a small amount of baking soda to make a paste. Brush your teeth as usual, making sure you brush those back teeth too. The paste should not be gritty at all to avoid scraping of your enamel.
3. Pure Virgin Olive Oil
Some people are attesting to their teeth becoming whiter by applying olive oil to their teeth after they brush. It can be applied by tooth brush of rushed on with a clean wash cloth. The jury is out on this one so be sure to tell us if it works for you!
4. Apple Cider Vinegar (yet another miraculous use)
It has been proven that apple cider vinegar works effectively to whiten teeth but you have to be consistent. After a month of continuous usage you should be able to begin seeing results. Some say that using ACV looks like you just got your teeth professionally cleansed.  It  is so powerful that it can actually remove the enamel on your teeth as well so be sure to brush again with your DIY toothpaste, or rinse your mouth out really well.
5. Citrus
There have been reports that lemon and or orange peels will also do the trick of whitening your teeth. All of these products are outstanding whiteners but be aware of how it effects your enamel and rinse properly. A good rinse is hydrogen peroxide because it is a very good anti-bacterial agent. Just add equal parts water and swish for one minute.
6. Berry White
Catherine Zeta Jones whitens her teeth with strawberries and Tyra Banks showed the world how its done on her show. She simply pureed strawberries and rubbed it  all over her teeth. Some people say this works right away. Rinse well afterwards.
Some natural whiteners can destroy enamel so be sure to rinse well and limit prolonged use. Read more here.

Will Rohnert Park Dental Implants Be Grown in a Lab?

Dental Implants performed at our Rohnert Park Dental Office are cutting edge but will we one day grow new teeth from a person's own gum cells?Dental Implants Rohnert Park

After reading an article in the Journal of Dental Research we are dumbfounded by the successful bioengineering of the stem cell implant! A “biotooth” ground in the gap of a missing tooth just may be in our great-grandchildren’s  mouths one day as the next generation of dentistry emerges. UK researches believe it will still be technology for the future. The researchers had to combine the human gum cells with a type of embryonic mouse cell to instruct the gum cells to make teeth. The next challenge is to find a human adult cell that can be coaxed to do the same.
A bioengineered implant would be a "living" tooth that would preserve the health of the tissue around it ever more effectively than an artificial implant. The biotooth is a able to respond to a person's bite. They move as a natural tooth would this causes them to be able to  maintain the health of the surrounding gums and teeth. £0.5m (approximately $0.8m) has already been granted for researchers to develop a way to use stem cells to grow a new tooth.
Research has focused on generating immature teeth (teeth primordia) that are extremely similar to those in an unborn baby.  These teeth can be transplanted as small cell into a jaw to grow into teeth that perform like the one around it. Researchers now clamor to find a source of suitable cells that would make the method work! Sources of human epithelial and mesenchymal cells need to be identified in order to accomplish this futuristic feat. The cells must be obtained in sufficient numbers to make biotooth formation a viable alternative to dental implants.
They were able to isolate epithelial cells from adult human gum tissue, and then cultured them with mouse embryonic tooth mesenchyme cells. The gum tissue came from patients at the Dental Institute at King's College London. What a generous contribution, indeed!
When the gum tissue was transplanted into mice, the epithelial-mesenchyme cell created hybrid teeth with dentine, enamel, and functional roots.  So the next major challenge, is to find a way to get adult human mesenchymal cells to send tooth-inducing signals, because at the moment, the researchers can only get embryonic mesenchymal cells to do that.

In this generation, Rohnert Park dental implants are the closet alternative to a natural tooth and we don’t need rats to make them! Call today to schedule a painless dental implant!

Your Rohnert Park dentist discusses smile makeovers and design

According to Dr. Wayne Sutton, your Rohnert Park Dentist, smile makeovers are not only a science, but an art

Dr. Wayne Sutton, AKA: Your Rohnert Park Dentist and master of smile makeovers, is an accredited member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. According to him, smile design is far more complicated than it seems.   In fact, he considers it an art form.  According to the AACD,
A comprehensive treatment plan is incomplete without an esthetic analysis or smile design defining the end point of the treatment.
And that's exactly what Dr. Sutton does.  With years of training under his belt, Dr. Sutton has created more smile makeovers than any other dentist in the area.  In fact, Dr. Sutton is one of the leading cosmetic dentists in Northern California.  Below you can see some incredible before and after smile makeovers that were performed right here in the Rohnert Park Dentist's Office:
