Teeth whitening is the most popular cosmetic dental procedure available today and perhaps the most cost effective too. While it’s possible to use store bought products to whiten your teeth, these solutions are not as powerful or effective as those provided at a dental office. In addition, you won’t receive the benefits of professional treatment and supervision by a trained dentist.
What to expect from our specialised teeth-whitening procedure?
First, you will receive a comprehensive oral exam with dental x-rays, to make sure that any discoloration on your teeth isn’t due to a dental problem that needs treatment such as a tooth filling or root canal. Next, you will have a choice of three teeth whitening options: In-office whitening , take-home trays, or pre-filled whitening trays.
In-office treatment uses the most highly-concentrated whitening solutions, and offers the most dramatic results. Your teeth may be lightened from two to eight shades after a single one-hour treatment! While you’re being treated, your dentist will carefully protect and monitor sensitive areas of the teeth, gums and mouth.
With take-home whitening, your dentist will first make a mold of your teeth, which is then used to custom-fabricate a set of flexible bleaching trays and collected at your next appointment. You will fill the trays with whitening gels provided, and wear them at home for about 90-120 minutes at a time. You’ll get nearly the same results, but the process may take a few weeks.
Lastly, you can brighten your smile with a ready to go pre-filled bleaching tray. A mold is not needed and for those gaggers out there that can’t cope with an impression, this is the solution for you. You can simply pick up a box at our office and start bleaching. This is the most cost effective method of whitening your teeth. For only $150, you are on your way to a whiter, brighter, smile.
