In-Office Whitening
Have you ever wanted a brighter smile?
Dental whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure that aims to whiten teeth and give patients a brighter smile. Many patients are interested in dental whitening, but may be hesitant as they are unsure of what to expect from the procedure.
There are several methods of dental whitening available, including in-office treatments, at-home treatments, and over-the-counter products. In-office treatments are usually the most effective and quickest way to achieve significant results. During an in-office treatment, the dentist will apply a strong bleaching agent to the teeth, which is activated using a special light. The procedure usually takes around an hour to complete, and patients can expect to see significant results after just one treatment.
At-home treatments are also effective, but take longer to achieve results. The dentist will provide the patient with a custom-made whitening tray, which they will need to wear for a set period each day for several weeks.
Over-the-counter whitening products, such as whitening toothpaste and strips, are also available. However, these products are often less effective than professional treatments.
After dental whitening, patients can expect their teeth to be significantly whiter and brighter. To extend the bright, white appearance of their teeth, patients may need to avoid smoking, or limit their intake of staining beverages such as coffee and red wine.
