Have you ever wondered what it was like to have a dazzling, Hollywood-like smile? Thanks to professional teeth whitening, you can have a brighter, more beautiful set of pearly whites to show the world.
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure that removes stains and discoloration from the teeth to improve their appearance and brightness. Over time, they can become discolored due to factors such as:
While teeth whitening can improve your smile’s appearance, it’s not a permanent solution. You may need to come back periodically to maintain your desired level of whiteness. You’ll also want to avoid habits that can stain your pearly whites.
The most common teeth whitening method uses a bleaching agent, such as hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, to break down stains and remove discoloration from the teeth. We apply the bleaching agent to the teeth and activate it with a special light or laser, which helps speed up the whitening process.
Professional in-office procedures use a strong concentration of these bleaching agents that can whiten your teeth in as little as one hour. Regular over-the-counter products may take a few weeks to achieve desired results.
Teeth whitening is a safe and effective cosmetic procedure, but it may not be suitable for everyone. That’s why we recommend consulting with our friendly dental team before starting any whitening treatment. We want to ensure your teeth and gums are healthy and that there are no underlying issues that could be exacerbated by the process.
If teeth whitening isn’t the best choice for you, we have other options to beautify your smile, like veneers.
