If you have yellowed, darkened, or stained teeth, call Premier Dental Care today. Our professional staff offers teeth whitening treatment that improves the aesthetics and health of our patients’ smiles.
There are a variety of factors that cause tooth discoloration. For example, age, smoking habits, staining foods and drinks, and specific medications. However, we can reverse these effects with the correct treatment.
Teeth whitening is a safe cosmetic dentistry procedure that doesn’t damage teeth or gums. Bleaching agents that are crafted with tooth sensitivity in mind are painless while providing long-lasting results.
Benefits of Whitening Teeth
A radiant, vibrant smile can work wonders for your confidence and overall well-being. While many over-the-counter teeth whitening options exist, there is no denying the exceptional advantages of professional teeth whitening treatments. You can look forward to numerous benefits that this cosmetic procedure offers. Just a few benefits include long-lasting effects, improved oral health, a younger appearance, and better self-confidence.
Long-lasting Benefits
One of the primary advantages of professional teeth whitening treatment at the dentist is its longevity. Unlike at-home teeth whitening kits, which may provide temporary results, professional treatments offer better results that can last from several months to a few years. We achieve this longevity by using high-quality whitening agents, modern tools and software, and advanced techniques. Over-the-counter teeth whitening methods are often not as effective because the whitening gel in these kits is not as strong.
Enhanced Oral Health
Whitening your teeth not only improves the look of your smile, but can also indirectly improve your oral health. During the whitening process, our dentist will examine your teeth to identify any dental issues that can affect results. Addressing problems like cavities and gum disease prior to whitening ensures that your oral health is at its best.
Additionally, professional teeth whitening involves applying specially formulated gels that not only whiten your teeth but also remove superficial stains and plaque buildup. By eliminating these impurities, we reduce your risk of developing tooth decay and gum disease immediately after a professional teeth whitening procedure.
Finally, patients who receive teeth whitening treatment are more likely to visit their dentist regularly and take the necessary steps to properly care for their teeth.
Reversal of Aging Effects
Teeth naturally lose their luster over time due to factors such as age, consumption of staining beverages (coffee, tea, red wine), and tobacco use. Professional teeth whitening can reverse the effects of aging on your teeth and effectively erase years of discoloration. You will have a renewed sense of youthfulness!
Through professional-grade bleaching agents and advanced techniques, our dentists can reach deep into the enamel to eradicate stubborn stains and restore your teeth’s natural brightness. This rejuvenation process basically gives you a more vibrant and youthful smile.
Confidence Boost
It’s no secret that a confident smile has a profound impact on your social life. Professional teeth whitening can substantially boost your self-esteem by giving you the perfect smile that you are looking for. As your teeth regain their natural brilliance, you’ll find yourself more willing to flash that radiant smile without hesitation.
Improved confidence not only affects your social life but also your mental health. A beautiful smile can rid you of self-consciousness, boosting your overall happiness and quality of life.
Professional Teeth Whitening Treatment
Dr. Naguib offers in-office and at-home teeth whitening treatments. Before choosing a treatment, he will review your budget and goals with you. He will also assess your teeth and gums to determine if you are a good candidate. This helps him choose which form of whitening treatment is the best option for your unique case.
In-office whitening procedure is ideal for when you need a whiter smile fast. It takes about an hour at our office and makes your teeth up to eight shades whiter. The procedure is very simple.
We will protect your gums and then paint the bleaching agent onto your teeth. Then we will activate the whitening ingredient with a special light. At your checkups, Dr. Naguib will monitor the need for touch-ups.
At-home whitening is a more gradual process. We’ll take impressions of your teeth and make customized bleaching trays. We will give you a professional-grade whitening gel to put in the trays. You wear them for a few hours each day and your teeth gradually whiten over a few days. Since they’re customized to your mouth, you have less of a risk of the bleaching agent causing sensitive teeth.
Aftercare Tips for Professional Teeth Whitening
In order to preserve the results of your whitening treatment, you should avoid eating or drinking any foods with potent coloring. It’s also important for you to brush and floss your teeth regularly. We recommend brushing at least twice a day with a whitening toothpaste that contains mild abrasives or hydrogen peroxide.
Another good tip is to rinse your mouth immediately after every meal. Doing this will help prevent some bacteria from accumulating on your teeth. This helps minimize the growth of bacteria that contributes to staining and tooth decay over time. Additionally, rinsing with water or an antimicrobial mouthwash can freshen your breath and leave you feeling good. Additionally, limit tobacco use because tobacco products can stain teeth.
Teeth Whitening FAQs
How long do your teeth stay white after whitening?
After professional teeth whitening, most patients’ teeth remain white for anywhere from six months to 2 years. This may vary based on the patient’s diet and oral care routine. Results can last much longer if you regularly whiten your teeth at the dental office.
How long after teeth whitening can I eat normally?
After teeth, whitening treatment patients should avoid foods that have saturated colors for at least 24 hours. Additionally, we recommend avoiding coffee, wine, and soda for at least 72 hours. This will prevent staining on your newly whitened teeth.
How long after teeth whitening can I see results?
Patients can see the full effects of a teeth whitening procedure after the first 24 hours of treatment. Depending on the concentration of the whitening solution effects may appear faster, or take slightly longer in some cases.
Should I brush before or after teeth whitening?
We highly recommend that patients brush their teeth before having them whitened. This is to be sure that no plaque or bacteria is present on the surface of teeth before we apply the whitening solution.
What should you not do when whitening your teeth?
During, and after whitening teeth, patients should avoid drinking deeply colored foods and drinks. This includes drinking coffee, tea, wine, soda, juice, etc. Patients should also avoid foods such as ketchup, chocolate, and soy sauce as they are very likely to stain their teeth.
