Who Is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?
Most patients who are in good oral health are eligible for teeth whitening. If Dr. Malaviya or Dr. Sardhara find that you have any dental health issues like cavities or gum infections, you’ll need to get those addressed before we can focus on the appearance of your smile.
In order to ensure successful results, we must first understand the cause of your tooth discoloration. There are two types of tooth stains: extrinsic and intrinsic. Extrinsic stains occur on the teeth’s surface, often as a result of habits like smoking or overconsumption of richly pigmented foods and drinks (coffee, tea, tomato sauce, berries, etc.). Intrinsic stains develop beneath the surface for multiple reasons, such as aging, injuries, or certain medications.
No matter the cause of your dental discoloration, our professional teeth whitening treatment can lighten your teeth by several shades, helping you smile with confidence!
How Teeth Whitening Works
You might be wondering how professional teeth whitening differs from over-the-counter solutions. The main advantage of our treatment is that the bleaching gel is significantly more potent than any product you can find in stores. Not only that, but your treatment will be customized to meet your unique needs and desires.
With that in mind, there are two ways that your cosmetic dentist in Avon can whiten your teeth:
Take-Home Teeth Whitening
Do you want to improve your smile on your own time from the comfort of your own home? If so, then you might benefit from our take-home teeth whitening kits. Unlike store-bought whitening kits, our system uses trays that are made from impressions we take of your teeth, ensuring a precise, comfortable fit. We’ll provide you with these trays, along with a super-potent bleaching gel, to wear for a certain amount of time per day, usually about 30 minutes. You should achieve the results you were looking for after about two weeks of using these trays every day.
In-Office Teeth Whitening
If you have an event coming up soon where you want to look your best, like a wedding or a job interview, we can brighten your smile in a single appointment that only takes about an hour. Once you arrive at our office, we’ll start by isolating your teeth with a dental dam to protect your soft tissues from the whitening gel. Then, we apply the gel to your teeth, which penetrates the enamel to break up deep-set stains. After a few minutes, we wipe off the gel, removing the stains as well. We can repeat this process a few times until you’re satisfied with the results.
Tips for Maintaining Your Brighter Smile
While no teeth whitening treatment provides permanent results, there are some best practices you can follow to keep your smile bright for as long as possible:
- Maintain a good oral hygiene routine (use a whitening toothpaste and/or a whitening mouthwash a few times a week)
- Visit our dental office at least twice a year for a checkup and cleaning
- Eat plenty of white dairy products to keep your teeth bright and strong
- Avoid consuming too many foods and beverages that notoriously stain teeth
At Avon Dental Group, we have the perfect way to maintain your bright smile for years to come: our Free Teeth Whitening for Life program! All you need to do is pay a $99 enrollment fee and attend a checkup and cleaning with us every six months. It’s that simple!
Teeth Whitening FAQs
Are you thinking about getting teeth whitening in Avon? Even though you may know a bit more about the process, it’s completely normal to still have a few lingering questions in mind. Lucky for you, our team is more than happy to address any concerns you have! However, we understand that some people would rather do their research online than speak to a professional at Avon Dental Group. For that reason, we’ve decided to answer some frequently asked questions below.
Does Teeth Whitening Hurt?
Many people are hesitant to move forward with cosmetic dental treatment because they’re worried it will hurt. Well, you’ll be pleasantly surprised to find that most procedures are not as bad as you may think! Since professional teeth whitening is fully customized to meet every patient’s individual needs, your chances of experiencing sensitivity or discomfort are much lower. Of course, don’t hesitate to let us know if your teeth are naturally prone to sensitivity. We can find solutions to make your treatment as comfortable as possible, like spacing out your appointments or using specialty toothpaste.
Am I a Candidate for Teeth Whitening?
Truthfully, almost anyone with a stained or discolored smile is a good candidate for teeth whitening treatment. The best way to find out if you’re eligible is by scheduling a consultation with our team at Avon Dental Group. During your appointment, we’ll conduct an oral examination and inquire about your goals to determine whether or not this service is right for you. If you don’t have any underlying problems (i.e., decay or gum disease), we can begin working on your custom treatment plan!
Is Teeth Whitening Permanent?
No, teeth whitening is not considered permanent. You can expect your results to last anywhere between a few months to a couple of years depending on several factors. For instance, your oral hygiene, health, and lifestyle can influence the lifespan of your new smile. If you want your bright results to last as long as possible, make sure you practice good oral hygiene, visit your dentist regularly, and kick bad habits to the curb (i.e., smoking, biting fingernails, using teeth as tools).
How Much Does Teeth Whitening Cost?
Every case is unique, which is why there is no set price for teeth whitening in Avon. The cost varies from patient to patient depending on factors like the number of sessions needed, whether it’s an in-office or take-home treatment, and whether you’ll need any restorative care beforehand. During your initial consultation, we’ll thoroughly explain the pricing information so you know exactly what to expect.
