Teeth Whitening
|
|
Your smile is important. It's one of the first things you notice when you meet someone.
A whiter, brighter smile is beautiful - it can help you feel better about yourself
and make a memorable impression

Your lifestyle and the aging process can stain and darken your teeth. Many things
we do on a regular basis can contribute to stained teeth, such as drinking coffee,
tea, cola and red wine or smoking.

Whitening can get your smile looking its best. Non-professional procedures and clinically
unproven teeth whitening tips can often lead to unsatisfactory results, you should
look for a whitening procedure that is:

Tooth Whitening – a Safe, Quick and Inexpensive Procedure. |
 |
 |
|
Tooth whitening, formerly known as bleaching, is a dental procedure that can be
used to correct many tooth discolorations. Just about anyone can benefit from tooth
whitening. However, treatment may not be as effective for some as for others.we
determine if you are a candidate for this procedure..we use the latest in whitening
technology to offer a safe method for creating a beautiful smile. In cases of extreme
tooth discoloration, crowns or veneers may be the only choice. But, because of the
low cost of whitening treatments, whitening is nearly always worth a solid try.
|
|
How is it Done?
|
 |
|
An impression is taken to make a specialized "mouthguard" or "stent" to hold the
bleach against the teeth. The material is used each night for about 3-4 hours for
a week or two, and at the end of this time, significant whitening will occur. In
some cases, the change is nothing short of brilliant. For confidence in appearance,
bleaching technology allows us to promise improvements in yellowing, aging or stained
teeth. For very severely stained teeth, crowns or veneers may be more appropriate.

..Is Tooth Whitening Safe? |
|
Yes, research and clinical studies indicate that whitening teeth under the supervision
of a dentist is safe. In fact, many dentists consider whitening the safest cosmetic
dental procedure available. As with any tooth whitening product, it is not recommended
for children under 13 years of age, or women who are pregnant or lactating.
|
|
Is Whitening your teeth painful? |
|
No, there is no Pain Associated with this Treatment.
|
|
Are there any side effects? |
|
Some people may experience temporary increased tooth sensitivity to cold that can
be treated using a fluoride gel. .we provides this fluoride gel as part of the customized
tooth whitening treatment. These symptoms disappear within one to three days after
completion of the treatment.
|
|
What about over-the- counter (drugstore) Tooth Whiteners? |
|
Consulting is always the first step to whitening your teeth safely. Over-the-counter
tooth whitening strips, brush-on gels and toothpastes may take weeks or months to
whiten your teeth just a few shades.
|
|
Laser or Light Activated System.
|
|
Clinical studies have shown that when a light source is added to the whitening process,
the results are enhanced. Some studies actually show an additional two shade improvement
when a light is used vs. no use of a light. Peroxide and light treatment significantly
lightened the color of teeth to a greater extent than did peroxide or light alone.
In-office teeth whitening systems that are not light activated can achieve the same
end result of whiter, brighter teeth, but usually with a higher strength of peroxide
or more office visits.
