Teeth Whitening

Dreamed of a Dazzling White Healthy Smile?

The tooth whitening process eliminates discoloration and stains on the teeth. The degree of improvement will depend upon how severely the teeth are stained or discolored as well as the nature of the stains. When teeth are brown or yellow due to coffee, tea, or smoking, stains will generally lighten more than teeth that are grey due to natural pigmentation or antibiotics use. Regardless, your teeth will be noticeably brighter after teeth whitening

Tooth Whitening Treatments

• Professional teeth whitening in the office
• At-home whitening system
• Whitening toothpaste

Professional Teeth Whitening Professional teeth whitening by your doctor is your best choice when you need immediate whitening results. It is a 60 to 90 minutes bleaching procedure. The dentist will apply a protective gel to your gums to protect the oral soft tissues. A special bleaching agent is then applied to the teeth in intervals of 15-20 minutes.

At-Home Whitening System

There are several products available for use at home which can either be dispensed by your doctor. They are generally teeth whitening trays or strips.

Teeth Whitening Trays

Your dentist will take an impression of your teeth to fabricate a custom-fitted mouthguard for you that will fit your teeth precisely. You will then get bleaching gel that is placed in the mouthguard. Usage regimens vary. Some products are used twice a day for 2 weeks, while others are intended for overnight use for 1-2 weeks.

Teeth Whitening Strips

Teeth-whitening strips are thin strips with a thin film of bleaching agents on one side. Whitening strip kits come with strips for the upper teeth and strips for the lower teeth. The strips are placed across your teeth and gently press the strips into place to ensure contact with all your teeth. Teeth-whitening strips are typically worn for 15-20 minutes a day. The duration of treatment will vary.

Teeth whitening can have minor side-effects. Teeth can become sensitive during the period when you are using the bleaching solution. In most cases, this sensitivity is temporary and should lessen once the treatment is finished. Some people also experience soft tissue irritation, either from a tray that doesn’t fit properly or from a solution that may come in contact with the tissues. If you have concerns about such side effects, you should discuss them with the doctor.

Whitening Toothpaste Whitening toothpaste help remove surface stain from your teeth through the action of mild abrasives. This can be used to maintain your whitening after your professional whitening session.
