Teeth whitening is a popular cosmetic dental procedure that can help remove stains and discoloration from your teeth, leaving them looking several shades lighter and more youthful. Whether your teeth have become discolored due to aging, smoking, or consuming foods and beverages that stain, a professional teeth whitening treatment can restore your smile's brightness and boost your confidence.

The Benefits of Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening offers numerous benefits beyond improving the appearance of your smile. A whiter, brighter smile can make you look younger and more attractive, boost your self-confidence, and even improve your overall oral health. By removing stains and discoloration from your teeth, you can also reduce the risk of developing cavities and gum disease and prevent further damage to your tooth enamel.

Are You A Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?

Many people desire a bright, white smile but are unsure if they are good candidates for teeth whitening treatment. The good news is that most individuals can benefit from teeth whitening, but there are some factors to consider before undergoing the procedure.

Factors to Consider:

• Tooth Sensitivity: If you have sensitive teeth or gums, it is essential to consult our team before starting any teeth whitening treatment. He can recommend a gentle approach that will minimize discomfort.

• Existing Dental Work: Crowns, fillings, and other dental work do not respond to traditional teeth whitening treatments. In these cases, it may be necessary to replace or adjust the existing dental work to match the new shade of your teeth.

• Pregnancy and Nursing: Teeth whitening treatment is not recommended while pregnant or nursing due to the potential risks associated with the chemicals used in the whitening process.

• Age: Patients under 16 must consult with our team before undergoing a teeth whitening treatment, as their teeth are still developing. Additionally, older individuals may not see as dramatic results due to natural tooth discoloration over time.

You may be a good candidate for teeth whitening treatment if you meet the criteria above. It is important to consult our team to discuss your options and determine the best plan of action to achieve a brighter, whiter smile.

Which type of whitening treatment is for you?

• In-Chair Whitening – This typically takes an hour and is a quick and effective whitening solution for a brighter smile in a hurry. Over several short 10-15 minute sessions, the whitening solution is carefully applied to your teeth, allowing for precision in achieving the desired brightness. It’s essential this is done correctly to ensure there are no dangerous side effects of the bleach products burning through the delicate soft tissue structures in your mouth.

• At-Home Whitening—For those who prefer to whiten their teeth in the comfort of their own homes, we also provide take-home teeth whitening kits to help them achieve results that are just as long-lasting and effective.

Remember, maintaining good oral hygiene practices such as regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups can help prolong the results of teeth whitening treatments and keep your smile looking its best.
