Benefits of Teeth Whitening

The bleaching treatment will make discolored teeth whiter. The bleaching procedures will cosmetically alter stained appearance of the teeth and dramatically whiten them. bleaching reverses the color of tooth by removing the organic particles from the enamel. This creates whiter, brighter enamel.

There is no loss of tooth structure and bleaching is one of the safest procedures you can have done to your teeth.

Two different methods could be used to achieve the same results.

Take Home Tooth Whitening

The at home bleaching method involves thin, clear trays and bleaching solution to be used by the patient at home. This method requires two appointments. On the first one, impressions of the teeth are taken with a fast setting material, making the process as short as 5 minutes. Following the visit, models are made and then the trays are constructed to precisely fit over them. The trays are used to keep the bleaching solution in place during the treatment. On the second visit your bleaching trays are tried in by the doctor to make sure they are correct and properly cover the teeth.

Instructions are given as to how the bleaching solution is used. Results are seen after just 1 day and maximum results are seen after 7 days. The benefit of using this method is the ability to use the trays as you need to, in the future.

Extra bleaching solution could be purchased in the office. Our office offers 3 concentrations of bleaching solutions of bleaching solution to minimize the sensitivity. We recommend, once or twice a year, usually after a prophylaxis to use one application to maintain a constantly beautiful smile. Some sensitivity may occur depending on the strength of the solution used.

In Office Tooth Whitening

One hour Boost bleaching is done in the office.
After the teeth are polished, the gums are isolated with a special solution to protect them of any irritation. The solution is activated by the dentist and applied directly to the teeth. The procedure takes about one hour as several layers of the solution are used, as needed. We carefully check for sensitivity and shade, as we constantly monitor the patient.

Both procedures work very well and the solutions are carefully selected by the dentists. The main difference is the time. The at home Opalescence bleaching trays take 7 days for the process to be completed while in office Boost takes about 1 hour.

The results are predictable: A BRIGHT, WHITE SMILE!
