What Is Professional Teeth Whitening?

Teeth whitening at our office is a safe treatment that produces the fastest results. It’s the best way to remove stains from eating certain foods and restore whiteness to aging teeth. Professional whitening is the safest form of bleaching. Our professionals apply the bleaching solution and monitor you carefully during the treatment to make sure there are no problems.

Having your teeth professionally whitened isn’t for everyone, however. Your gums and teeth must be healthy, with no gum swelling or tooth decay. Otherwise, the bleach may irritate your teeth and gums. Teeth whitening isn’t recommended for people who have had dental work on their front teeth. This is because the bleaching solution won’t work on tooth-colored crowns, caps, and fillings.

A dental professional can determine if you are a good candidate for teeth whitening. Contact our office today to schedule a consultation.

Teeth Whitening at Home

You also have the option of whitening your teeth in the convenience of your own home. You probably already know about over-the-counter products available at your local pharmacy or grocery store. Did you know you also have the option of whitening your teeth professionally at home?

Our office is pleased to offer home dental whitening services. We will create custom-made trays to perfectly fit your teeth. These trays hold a bleaching solution that is more powerful than what you can buy at a store. This personalized system has several advantages. The custom fit keeps the bleaching solution in contact with your teeth, where it can do the most good. The trays also keep saliva from diluting the bleaching agent and reducing its effectiveness. Most importantly, they keep the bleaching solution off your gums, preventing irritation.

Many people feel that whitening their teeth at home is the most effective way to get a bright smile. Our patients also enjoy the flexibility of whitening on their own schedule without having to come to our office as often. We will still be involved in monitoring the progress of your treatment to make sure it is safe and effective. We are always available to answer any questions you have.

How Much Does Teeth Whitening Cost?

Understanding Teeth Whitening Products

There are many different products for teeth whitening available on the market today. At your local store, you can find teeth whitening strips, bleaching gel, trays, rinses, and paint-on solutions. It’s easy to get overwhelmed and wonder which product is right for you.

While over-the-counter options are inexpensive, they also are less effective than the products available at our office. Our products are much stronger and require shorter treatments to get excellent results. In addition, our professionals will be able to assess your oral health and make sure you are a good candidate for these procedures. If not used properly, whitening products can cause irritation and sensitivity. Working with our dental professionals ensures that you can get the beautiful smile you want while still being safe.

If you’re wondering which product or treatment is right for you, you don’t have to try to figure it out by yourself. Call us to schedule a consultation with our teeth bleaching dentist. We can get you better results in less time.

Teeth Whitening Procedure

Teeth whitening is an easy, comfortable procedure. Here’s what you can expect when you visit a teeth bleaching dentist.

First, we’ll examine your teeth to make sure you are a good candidate for the procedure. We’ll take photos that we’ll use later to monitor your progress.

After that, it’s time to begin. We’ll shield your gums with a protective liquid and apply the bleaching solution to your teeth. The solution will work on your teeth for a predetermined amount of time. Then we’ll rinse off the solution and reapply. Throughout the procedure, we’ll monitor your progress and your comfort.
