What Is Teeth Whitening?
How Teeth Whitening Operates
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic procedure designed to lighten and enhance the color of teeth. It effectively eliminates discoloration or staining caused by beverages, food, tobacco, or medications. Our accelerated whitening system delivers speedy results without causing harm to the teeth or gums.
The whitening gel includes an active ingredient that undergoes a breakdown process during whitening. This breakdown allows oxygen to penetrate the enamel of the teeth, leading to a brighter and lighter tooth color. Professional teeth whitening can enhance the shade of teeth by up to 10 levels, with many patients experiencing immediate results or significant improvement after just a few sessions. Achieving a bright, white smile is a confidence booster for patients of all ages. We aim to help our patients take pride in their smiles, and our dedicated team is here to assist them in achieving the smile they've always desired.
Explore the Teeth Whitening Choices at Our Practice
We offer several teeth whitening options to cater to our patients' preferences. For those who prefer in-office whitening, our chairside whitening procedure is available. This treatment employs a specialized light to activate the whitening gel, effectively eliminating stains from food and beverages. Patients can experience immediate results, making it an ideal choice for those desiring a radiant white smile without delay.
Alternatively, we provide an at-home whitening kit option, allowing patients to whiten their teeth in the comfort of their own homes. Custom trays are crafted in our office and paired with a whitening gel kit for home use. Patients simply apply the whitening gel to their custom trays and wear them for a specified duration. This approach also delivers remarkable results, with patients noticing whiter teeth after just a few treatments.
Following the whitening process, some patients may experience temporary sensitivity, which typically subsides within a few days. If needed, patients can use toothpaste designed for sensitive teeth to alleviate any post-whitening discomfort. Overall, the teeth whitening process is straightforward and yields rapid results, granting patients a beautifully white smile.
