At-Home Whitening
What is at home whitening?
At home whitening is a proven dental system that allows you to restore the natural whiteness of your teeth from the convenience of your own home. The procedure is set up in a dental office, and the materials are provided for you by your dentist. You are given a set of instructions to follow, and you have medical supervision throughout the process without the need to drive into the office more than is convenient.
When would I need at-home whitening?
The simple answer is: when your teeth become visibly yellowed or brown. There are many things that can cause this to happen. Tooth darkening often occurs over the natural course of time as minerals penetrate the outer enamel of the tooth. Beverages can also stain teeth. Some of the most notorious drinks are coffee, colas, tea, red wine, and berry juices.
If you smoke or use smokeless tobacco, you already know what this does to your teeth. The same yellowish color that you see in a cigarette filter goes right into your tooth enamel—and stays there.
We can create an at-home whitening system that will remove these stains and restore the cosmetic attraction factor of your smile. We do this by making a specially formulated whitening gel that is designed to safely and gently force oxygen through the enamel of your teeth. The process practically erases stains and brightens your teeth without doing any damage to your tooth enamel or your gums.
How do you create an at-home whitening system?
We start by doing a full dental examination. This is to make sure your gums, teeth, and surrounding mouth tissues are health. Once the procedure is determined appropriate for your state of dental health, we next take impressions of your teeth to make models. With these models, we create a personalized whitening tray that will fit tightly over your teeth. This lets us achieve the very best results for you.
Once you go home, you follow the instructions that we give you. Placing the tray over your teeth, apply it for several hours each day. You can wear these trays around the house or while you are sleeping. You will see results in a couple of weeks.
This process is monitored by our team from start to finish. We want to make certain that in the process of whitening your teeth that your gums do not become irritated.
What do I do if my gums do become irritated?
Call our office if you notice acute sensitivity. This is normal, but it should not be severe or prolonged. If special toothpaste for sensitivity does not alleviate the problem, we will take other action at that point.
How do I keep my teeth white?
Stay away from food and drinks that will stain your teeth. Brush and rinse your teeth with water after you eat or drink anything you think my have an effect on your teeth. Schedule periodic visits to our office to touch up the white and remove any new stains that form.
