Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening  is an easy, non-invasive dental treatment used to lighten the color of natural tooth enamel. It is perfect approach to improving the excellence of your smile.

There are several varieties of  “whitening” alternatives that are available.

Reasons for teeth whitening:

• To remove stains on teeth
• For special events. for example, a wedding
• It is non-surgical
• It is generally affordable compared to other teeth restorative techniques.

There are several factors that affect the color change of your teeth after whitening, so it’s important to have actual expectations before and after teeth whitening. It is also good to note that there are certain foods, habits (like smoking, drinking red wine , tea), and drugs that may likely cause staining after your teeth have been whitened. It is important to avoid these as much as possible during whitening so as to maintain your white smile.

This type of whitening usually requires two visits. On the initial visit, we will take impressions (molds) of your teeth son that we can create custom, clear plastic, plate. The existing shade of your teeth will be taken for comparison.

On the second visit, you will try the tray to ensure the desired fit has been achieved, any changes will be made if needed. The trays are to be worn with a whitening solution either twice per day for 30 minutes or overnight for a few weeks depending on the level of recoloring and level of whitening needed.

We will tell you how to take care of your teeth and trays, and we will schedule you to visit us regularly so that you retain your lovely, bright smile.
