A recent survey found that 90% of Americans agreed that a beautiful smile was important, both in
one’s personal life and career. The most popular, affordable, and easiest first step towards your
own unique and perfect smile is to have your teeth whitened.

You may have tried doing that with some of the many varieties of over-the-counter strips, gel trays,
toothpastes, and rinses. If you diligently followed directions from the dentist –wearing the trays
or strips for the recommended hours and not eating or drinking for a period afterwards, for
example–you probably found your teeth did become somewhat more whitened.

Oral Health Evaluations:

But you probably expected more after all that effort. The fundamental problem (aside from a genetic
disposition to have darker teeth and the effects of aging) is that it is very easy to deeply stain
teeth. This can be caused by smoking (anything), using certain prescription drugs, drinking a lot of
coffee, tea, or red wine, and eating blueberries, beets, or tomatoes, among other things. Unless you
brushed right afterwards, you probably found that these products were not very effective in removing
the discoloration. On the other hand, if you applied them too often for too long, you might have
found your teeth becoming too sensitive.

Flossing and Polishing:

There is another unexpected problem that can result from these at-home kits. Because they are not
customized, these products sometimes irritate the gums: https://www.webmd.com/oral-health/features/teeth-whitening-at-home-dentist#1.

What Wilshire Smile Studio’s experts can offer is a much faster and more effective process using the
Zoom Teeth Whitening System (which will give you a brighter smile for all those Zoom calls!). You
can relax in the chair and watch TV or listen to music, while we apply a professional-grade hydrogen
peroxide whitening gel. It is then activated with a special high-intensity light that enables it to
penetrate the surface enamel and the dentin layer underneath. In just one hour, eight dark shades
can be removed. If you want a gleaming Hollywood smile, you can continue for up to 15 layers.
Results may vary due to individual differences.

My family and I have been receiving care from Dr. Ashraf and his amazing team since we first moved to Waterloo in 2002. His assessment skills are spot on, he is gentle and is very skilled at working with anxious\nervous patients. My dental hygienist is Lin who is very knowledgeable, and passionate about her work. She is amazingly gentle yet very,very thorough when it comes to preventative dental care. She is didactic as well, taking the time to teach patients how to use certain equipment as well as addressing gingivitis in pro-active ways. We are in very capable hands.

I have been a patient here for over 2 years now and I've always enjoyed the experience. The staff are professional and have always made me feel comfortable. I recently had a cleaning done by Lynn for the first time and she was amazing! Will continue to visit for my checkups/cleanings.

My family loves Dr Ashraf. We've been through many dentists in many cities and he's by far our favourite one. He's always thorough and professional. His referrals are also of equal high caliber. I went to him for a root canal and a crown. I had many concerns and he addressed them all personally. He even went so far as to redo a root canal for me. Recommend.

I found Ashraf Dentistry a year ago and I absolutely love their dental clinic. Everyone is very kind and thorough. Lin is the best dental hygienist I've ever had! She takes the time to ensure I receive the care I need. Both dentists I've seen have also been very kind and wonderful at making me feel like my teeth are being taken care of. Highly recommend!
