With Dr. Roy Oyangen, Zoom® your way to a brighter smile!

We hope you're having a great week! Today, we thought we'd talk a little about Zoom! whitening at Advanced Aesthetics of Glenville, the great way to enhance the appearance of your smile. Zoom is a professional teeth whitening treatment that gets your teeth an average of eight shades whiter — in just one hour at our convenient Glenville office! With Dr. Roy Oyangen, the treatment is safe, simple and relaxing! Not only that, but Zoom! is championed by dentists (and patients) as a pain-free process.

To prepare for Zoom! whitening, Dr. Oyangen will examine your teeth and gums to make sure they are healthy. Your lips and gums will be covered with an isolation material to protect them during the treatment. Then, we apply the Zoom! whitening gel, which is activated by the Zoom! light source. The gel and light work together to gently break up the stains on your teeth. After three 15-minute applications within one hour, you rinse and the treatment is complete — leaving you with a brighter, whiter smile.

Give us a call at 518-831-9677 to schedule an appointment for Zoom whitening. Have a great rest of the week!

Dental cancer screening technology at Advanced Aesthetics of Glenville

In our continuing efforts to provide the most advanced technology and highest quality care available to our patients, Dr. Roy Oyangen and our staff at Advanced Aesthetics of Glenville are proud to announce the inclusion of the ViziLite exam as an integral part of our comprehensive oral cancer screening program. Every hour of every day in the United States someone dies of oral cancer, which is the sixth most common diagnosed form of the disease. The 5-year survival rate is only 50%, and oral cancer is one of the few cancers whose survival rate has not improved.

ViziLite is a technology designed to assist Dr. Oyangen in early detection of abnormal tissue. When ViziLite passes over tissue, healthy tissue will appear dark, whereas abnormal tissue will appear white. This lets us identify the problem areas to concentrate on and investigate further.

Without ViziLite technology, dentists like Dr. Oyangen would not be able to identify and treat oral cancers as quickly. The earlier Dr. Oyangen can identify these types of cancerous growths, the better we can treat the cancer, and prevent it from spreading elsewhere.

Dr. Oyangen recommends being screened for oral cancers annually. For more information on ViziLite, or to have your own ViziLite Screening, please call to schedule an appointment at 518-831-9677.

Dr. Roy Oyangen, reminding you September is National Gum Care Month!

At Advanced Aesthetics of Glenville, we know that gingivitis - the early stage of periodontal disease - can be difficult to recognize. Many people don't recognize the warning signs - bleeding and swollen gums, as a precursor to gum disease. This month, a national campaign is under way to raise awareness about gum health and periodontal disease, and we wanted to help do our part to spread the word!

Dr. Roy Oyangen will tell you early recognition and action are the most important steps to health gums, and ultimately a health body, too! Studies are published every year linking oral health, including the gums, to the health of other areas of the body, such as your heart. One of the most important steps to improving the care of your gums is recognizing the warning signs for gum disease.

Dr. Oyangen knows these can include:

• Gums that appear red or swollen
• Gums that feel tender
• Gums that bleed easily (during brushing or flossing)
• Gums that recede or pull away from the teeth
• Persistent halitosis, or bad breath
• Loose teeth
• Any change in the way teeth come together in the biting position

If you happen to notice any of these signs, please schedule an appointment at our convenient Franklin office by calling (615) 591-4490 as soon as possible. Dr. Oyangen can take proactive steps to prevent gingivitis and gum disease, while showing you how to improve gum care in your daily oral hygiene habits.

We hope you're having a relaxing Labor Day weekend!
