These trays have a safe whitening agent that whitens your teeth while wearing them. Professional teeth whitening treatment guarantees a dramatic change.

How to decide whether teeth whitening is right for you?
Before deciding whether teeth whitening is right for you, our dentists will do a thorough checkup or oral examination. They will go over your medical history along with any antibiotics or supplements you have taken over the last few years. Our dentist uses a small mirror to check for gingivitis, plaque, tartar or other signs of poor oral health.

There are some candidates who have great oral health but still need teeth whitening treatments. But, teeth whitening is not the only option. The kind of teeth whitening treatment your dentist opt for strictly depends on the type of staining, predisposition to sensitivity or how quickly you wish to acquire results.

The process of teeth whitening involves

1. Application of a special guard to your lips and gums. This helps to protect your teeth from a teeth whitening agent.
2. In the next step, our dentist will apply a teeth whitening solution and allow it to settle down for about 15 minutes.
3. UV light is passed that helps to speed up the chemical reaction and quickens the teeth whitening process.
4. In some situations, your dentist would like to repeat the process based on the shade you are looking to opt.
5. Once the desired shade is applied, our dentist will rinse away the product and instantly offer a whiter and brighter smile.

The entire process takes almost 1-2 hours. Results from the teeth whitening treatment are long lasting though you need to take extra care by avoiding stuff like coffee, red wine, dark beer or soda. To keep stains and tooth discoloration away, you must brush and floss regularly and avoid using over-the-counter whitening strips.
Being one of the most common cosmetic treatment, teeth whitening help patients achieve a brighter smile that magnifies the overall facial aesthetic. Connect with our dentists today and ask about the other teeth whitening options for a confident and beautiful smile.
