Teeth whitening is the most requested cosmetic dental procedure in the U.S!
The first step in the teeth whitening process involves a consultation and thorough examination with Dr. Ridhi Shah at Healthy Smiles Dentistry. During this visit, she will assess your oral health, discuss your aesthetic goals, and determine if you are a suitable candidate for teeth whitening. She will also explain the different types of teeth whitening options available, helping you choose the most suitable one for you. This step is crucial as not everyone is a good candidate for teeth whitening. For instance, if you have restorations such as crowns or veneers, or if you have intrinsic stains (stains inside the tooth), teeth whitening may not be effective.
Before the actual whitening treatment, your teeth will be professionally cleaned to remove any plaque or tartar that could affect the results. This step ensures that the bleaching agent can penetrate your teeth evenly, leading to more consistent whitening. The cleaning process also helps to minimize any potential sensitivity you might experience during the whitening treatment.
The final step is the actual teeth whitening procedure. If you opt for in-office whitening, a protective gel or shield will be applied to your gums before the bleaching agent is applied to your teeth. The agent is then activated using a specialized light or laser, enhancing its whitening power. The entire procedure typically takes about an hour. If you choose a take-home whitening kit, Dr. Shah will provide you with custom-made trays and a professional-grade whitening gel. You'll be instructed on how to apply the gel and how long to wear the trays each day.
Teeth whitening can greatly enhance your appearance by removing stains and discoloration from your teeth. This can lead to a brighter, more attractive smile, boosting your confidence and making you more comfortable in social situations.
Teeth whitening is a fast and effective way to improve your smile. In-office treatments can produce noticeable results in as little as one hour, while take-home kits can whiten teeth significantly in just a few weeks.
One of the great things about teeth whitening is that it's customizable. Dr. Shah can adjust the concentration of the whitening gel and the length of treatment to achieve the level of whiteness you desire.
Whitened teeth can last up to three years, depending on your lifestyle and oral care habits!
