Dental Whitening is one of the easiest and most effective cosmetic dentistry procedures to improve your smile, professional tooth whitening can be carried out in our dental chair.
Over time, your teeth can go from white to a duller shade for several reasons:
- Coffee, tea, and red wine are some of the main culprits. What do they have in common? Intense colored pigments called chromogens that stick to the white, outer part of the teeth (enamel). - Tobacco use; The nicotine is colorless until it mixes with oxygen, then turns yellow and stains the surfaces. - Age; Under the white, hard outer layer of your teeth (enamel) is a softer area called dentin. Over time, this outer enamel layer becomes thinner with brushing and the yellowish dentin is exposed.
How Does Teeth Whitening Work?
Before the start of the procedure we will gauge the shade of your teeth using a shade chart. After thoroughly cleaning the teeth to remove stains and tartar your mouth will be prepared so that your lips, gums or cheeks are not exposed to the bleaching gel. Protective goggles will shield your eyes.
Teeth whitening is a simple process we use bleaching products that contain one of the two dental bleaching agents. These whiteners break stains into smaller pieces, making the color less concentrated and your teeth brighter.
Professional Home Whitening Kits
Involves putting whitening gel into custom-made trays which fit over your teeth. The trays are usually worn overnight, or for a few hours a day, until you are satisfied with the results.
We will make impressions of your teeth and send them to the lab for the trays to be made. After a few days the trays will be ready and your dentist will give you the teeth
whitening gel to use in combination with the trays.
