Brushing and flossing are everyday ways to keep your teeth bright, white and healthy. Still, if you might feel like your smile is lacking some sparkle or is more yellow than it used to be, you’re not alone.
When the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry asked people what they’d most like to improve about their smile, the most common response was whiter teeth. The American Association of Orthodontists also found that nearly 90% of patients requested tooth whitening.
Over time, your teeth can go from white to not-so-bright for a number of reasons. Coffee, tea and red wine are some major staining culprits. What do they have in common? Intense color pigments called chromogens that attach to the white, outer part of your tooth.
Two chemicals found in tobacco create stubborn stains: Tar and nicotine. Tar is naturally dark. Nicotine is colorless until it’s mixed with oxygen. Then, it turns into a yellowish, surface-staining substance.
Our experienced health professionals will analyze your health and advise you on preventive care and healthy choices.

What can you expect during your examination?
First, we will check your passport or other identity documents to verify that you are, in fact, you.
The doctor or a staff member will ask you about your medical history. We will review your medical problems, hospitalizations and treatments you have received. In addition, you will be asked about exposure to tuberculosis and other communicable diseases.
You will be asked specific questions about psychoactive drug and alcohol use, history of harmful behaviors, and psychiatric illnesses.
The physician will ask you about symptoms suggestive of cardiovascular, pulmonary, musculoskeletal and neuropsychiatric disorders and symptoms of diseases that would make you inadmissible.
You will then undergo a physical examination, which will include an evaluation of the following areas of the body:
A mental status examination will also be performed.
Blood and urine samples will also be obtained for laboratory analysis, as appropriate. Individuals who test positive for tuberculosis will undergo a chest x-ray at our office at no additional charge.
After your examination, and once we have your results, the physician will complete your immigration packet and place it in a sealed envelope that you will give to the consulate or USCIS. Do not open this envelope.
The doctor will discuss and administer the necessary vaccinations, or you can get them at your PCP’s office or local pharmacies.
The treatment of diabetes mellitus is based on three pillars: diet, physical exercise and medication. The aim is to maintain blood glucose levels within the normal range in order to minimize the risk of complications associated with the disease. In many patients with type 2 diabetes, medication would not be necessary if excess weight were controlled and a regular physical exercise program was carried out. However, insulin replacement therapy or oral hypoglycemic drugs are often necessary.
Whitening can be done in the dental office or at home. For in-office whitening, your dentist probably will photograph your teeth first. This step will help him or her to monitor the progress of the treatment. Your dentist also will examine your teeth and ask you questions to find out what caused the staining.
Next, the dentist or a dental hygienist will clean your teeth. This will remove the film of bacteria, food and other substances that build up on your teeth and contribute to the staining. Once this is done, the whitening procedure begins. For whitening at home, your dentist can make trays to hold the whitening gel that fit your teeth precisely.
Home whitening gel usually needs to be applied daily for two to three weeks. Over-the-counter kits also are widely available for home use. They provide trays to hold the gel, or whitening strips that stick to your teeth. Talk to your dentist if you want to use these home products. Be sure to follow directions to avoid overuse and possible damage to your teeth and mouth.
