Teeth Whitening
Are you considering teeth whitening to help reinvigorate a smile tainted by discoloration? Professional, in-office teeth whitening is the most popular cosmetic dental procedure in the world today. Unlike home-use systems that incorporate low-dose bleaching agents, in-office whitening takes place under carefully monitored conditions which allow for the safe, controlled, pain-free use of a relatively high concentration of bleaching gel – yielding results that are visible immediately.
The years of food and drink stains, smoking, medications, and the aging process can create deep, stubborn discoloration that may seem impossible to fade.
Can Teeth Whitening Damage my Enamel?
No, teeth whitening will NOT damage or harm your tooth enamel. Enamel is considered the hardest tissue in human body.
What can I do after I get my teeth whitening treatment?
Follow good oral hygiene practices. Brush your teeth at least twice daily and floss at least once daily to remove plaque. Keep all your cleaning appt.
Are you a Candidate?
This procedure is not suitable for those with the following conditions:
- Tooth and gum hypersensitivity. To avoid a hypersensitive reaction, we would likely to recommend take-home bleaching trays with a low concentration of carbamide peroxide – which is not as potent as hydrogen peroxide.
- Deep and intractable staining. Some stains are resistant to high-concentration in-office bleaches. In such cases, we may recommend a supervised regimen of intensive take-home bleaching or alternatives to peroxide bleaching such as bonding, crowns or veneers.
- Teeth that have become transparent with age. This is particularly true of the front teeth, which are thin to begin with.
Advantages of in-office Teeth Whitening
- Produces fastest results.
- This is the safest form of bleaching.
- Gum and tooth sensitivity (formerly drawbacks to in-office bleaching) are more controllable today due to thicker peroxide gels (that don’t soak into the teeth as much as previous gels) and the use of desensitizers such as potassium nitrate and fluoride.
As we age, our teeth are exposed to foods and drinks that stain the teeth, and even though they may be perfectly healthy, they are certainly not as appealing as they could be, and rarely stay white for as long as we would like.
Teeth whitening solutions are the perfect antidote to stains caused by tea, coffee, berries, candies, red wine, and other enamel-darkening drinks. The results can reduce the appearance of age and be quite dramatic for your smile.
