When your teeth are starting to look a little worn, discolored or stained, and brushing and/or a routine cleaning don’t seem to do the trick, it’s probably time for a professional cleaning by one of our hygienists.
Teeth whitening is a popular and painless dental procedure that is bound to make your teeth look brighter and whiter, and bring a gleaming smile to your face.
The benefit of having us whiten your teeth is that it can be done in one visit. Of course, you have the option of doing it at home with a kit which we can provide you, but it can take several applications over time.
The best plan is to let us do your first whitening, then take home a kit for self maintenance.
Here are the reasons why you should have your teeth whitened:
Improved oral health. Not only will whitening help make your teeth whiter and whiter, but the reduction of stains and discoloration from your teeth, can help reduce the risk of cavities and other oral health problems.
Provide you with a brighter, whiter smile. Over time your teeth can become yellow and stained due to many factors, including smoking, drinking coffee or tea, or eating certain foods. If you are self-conscious about your smile, your whiter teeth can give your self-confidence a big boost.
Long-lasting results. Professional teeth whitening treatment can last for a long time with the right aftercare, whereas DIY treatments may last for only a few months. The reason is because we use higher concentrations of the bleaching agents, than home kits. Also, a professional treatment may cause less sensitivity than home treatments.
Lower risk of sensitivity. Professional whitening agents use a lower concentration of the bleaching agent and is applied by a dental professional. We are careful to try and avoid the bleaching agent coming into contact with your gums which can cause irritation.
Quick treatment time. Typically, an office treatment takes an average of about 45 minutes. If you’re a busy person, we can have you in and out of the office in a flash with your happy, white teeth and confident smile.
It’s a cost-effective option. Over the counter teeth whitening products can be expensive, and often don’t work as well as advertised. In most cases, a single teeth whitening session may cost less than a year of OTC products. It’s much quicker, easier and in one visit you can see noticeable results.
How long does a professional teeth whitening last?
Typically, it can last up to 3 years depending on the individual and how well they take care of their teeth. People who smoke, or drink coffee or red wine may need to take home a kit for maintenance.
