Have you ever looked in the mirror and wondered what it would be like to have white, stain-free teeth? If so, your trusted team at Smiley Pearls is here to help. We are pleased to offer professional teeth whitening treatments to melt away stains and discolorations, leaving you with a dazzling smile.
How Does Teeth Whitening Work?
Teeth whitening treatments involve the use of hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide to break down the molecules causing teeth staining. As the molecules become smaller, the color of the stains becomes less concentrated, leaving your teeth several shades whiter and brighter.
Are You a Candidate for Teeth Whitening?
Professional teeth whitening offers an excellent solution for most individuals. It is especially effective at removing tooth stains and discoloration resulting from poor dental hygiene practices, using tobacco products, and years of consuming foods and drinks with intense pigments, such as coffee, tea, or berries.
It is important to note that not all teeth produce the same whitening results. In general, yellowish teeth respond best to teeth whitening treatments, while brown or gray teeth may show poor results. Moreover, whitening will not lift stains off tooth-colored restorations such as fillings, crowns, or dentures. If you are not a candidate for teeth whitening, we may recommend an alternative cosmetic dentistry solution, such as veneers or cosmetic bonding, to deliver your white, bright, and dazzling smile.
Over-the-Counter Teeth Whitening Products
Many home remedies and whitening kits promise Hollywood-worthy smiles, such as whitening strips, trays, gels, whitening toothpaste, powders, rinses, and so much more. While some of these products produce some whitening results, many will disappoint. Moreover, unsupervised home teeth whitening can result in sensitive teeth, tooth enamel erosion, gum burns, and allergic reactions. If you want to whiten and brighten your teeth, it is best to do so under the care of a dental professional.
Professional Teeth Whitening
Professional in-office whitening treatment involves using a peroxide-based gel to whiten and brighten your smile. We typically begin the procedure by placing a protective shield over your gums and lips. Next is applying the bleaching agent to your tooth surfaces. We will rinse the whitening gel off and repeat the procedure several times until we achieve the desired tooth shade and color. Our tailored office treatments can brighten your teeth several shades in one short office visit.
If you would rather whiten your teeth at home, we are happy to provide you with a professional home-whitening kit. That includes custom trays made from impressions of your mouth, professional-grade whitening gel, and use instructions. Home whitening may take a week or two to produce the desired results. However, you will do so safely and effectively.
Is Teeth Whitening Safe?
Teeth whitening has an excellent safety record under the care of a dental professional. Some individuals experience tooth sensitivity, but the temporary side effect typically resolves soon after treatment. Most safety concerns result from unsupervised teeth whitening using over-the-counter products or do-it-yourself kits.
