| Here are a few things you
should know when considering Teeth Bleaching...
- The "take home"
system is non-invasive and may take
only 7-10 days to complete
- You may choose to bleach your teeth while you sleep
or during the day (as little as 20-40 minutes per day).
- Today's bleaching gels are more effective than ever
before
- Teeth accumulate years of yellowing food stains
(chromagens) from foods like coffee, tea, soft drinks, and red wine which become absorbed
into enamel and can now be removed!
- The bleach penetrates the enamel and oxidizes these chromagens to remove them
- Temporary tooth sensitivity has sharply reduced with
these newer gels
- Overnight treatments are now possible due to extended
oxygen release in these newer gels (this means your teeth can bleach overnight as
you sleep!)
- We use a variety of bleaching concentrations
depending on your specific staining criteria
- Yellow stained teeth tend to bleach the most
effectively
- Fillings and crowns will not bleach
- For patients who can not use take-home trays, we
offer in-office bleaching appointments with higher strength bleaches
- Individually darkened teeth (ie-due to
trauma/root canal treatment) can bleach very effectively by placing bleaching
material inside the tooth itself
- If your natural teeth are darker than your anterior
crowns, you may want to consider bleaching to help brighten your entire smile!
- Your teeth will stay whiter for years!
