Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure that helps to improve the appearance of your teeth. It can remove stains from the surface of the teeth, making them look brighter and more appealing. The procedure is quick and easy to perform and can give you a better smile in just a few appointments or even only one.
Here are some of the reasons why you should get your teeth whitened:Teeth whitening is performed using a hydrogen peroxide-based whitening gel that is applied to the teeth under professional supervision. If required, we would also use an activating light to activate the whitening gel and promote an even color change on the teeth.
Each patient’s case is evaluated individually before starting the procedure to ensure that their teeth are healthy enough for whitening. During the procedure, we may have to use an intra-oral mold or eye protection goggles to shield the eyes from the activating light. After the whitening gel is applied to the teeth, we will spread it evenly and allow it to stay on for 15-20 minutes before rinsing it off. The procedure may be repeated multiple times for optimum results.
After the procedure is completed, you may experience some sensitivity in your teeth due to extreme dryness of oral tissues. For this reason, we will recommend taking special care of your teeth after having them whitened by using a whitening toothpaste and rinsing with water twice a day. The effects of this cosmetic procedure are very long-lasting if you maintain good oral hygiene by brushing twice a day and flossing regularly.
