I can vouch for the fact that many people want whiter teeth in my New Market dentist practice. If you are planning a series of procedures on your teeth, I think it is better to make sure the first thing you do is make your teeth white. Then you could attempt to undergo other procedures.

Here's why you should start with whitening.

My New Market dentistry has a great reputation. Still, that doesn't mean we can do the impossible. And that means we cannot change the color of a filling or crown.

Any expert will tell you that some things just don't bleach, especially restorations. It doesn't matter what you try, it won't work. Only your original teeth can go white from yellow.

What we really want to do is to ensure that the color of your teeth is exactly the shade you desire. Once we have done that, we can go to town with my New Market cosmetic dentistry, including bonding, or crowns, or my New Market porcelain veneers. This ensures that the colors of all teeth are matched.

Kate Walsh has never been to my practice. I don't know if I'll ever get the chance to meet her. Ms. Walsh plays Dr. Addison Montgomery-Shepherd on the hit series Grey's Anatomy. You all know that on the show, she portrays a medical doctor while I am a doctor of dentistry. And I don't act.

Anyone who has seen her knows she is a very pretty lady while I am good at my particular field, dentistry. I am very good, in fact, at making your teeth whiter and doing all kinds of other dentistry here in Harrisonburg, VA.

You just have to look at her to know what a magnificent set of teeth she has. Imagine offering New Market dental whitening to Kate. I'm not sure that Ms. Walsh needs dental whitening. Maybe you disagree. But you certainly can't doubt she looks great.
