A lot of effort is required to maintain a whiter, brighter smile, including professional help. The teeth can become dull and grey when extrinsic stains start developing due to lifestyle habits like smoking, chewing tobacco, eating tooth-staining foods, and many more. Tooth discoloration could also be the result of the natural aging process. At Sandia Peak Dental, we provide different teeth whitening options to help you regain your smile aesthetics.
Why Choose Professional Teeth Whitening?
Tooth whitening goes beyond just the appearance of the teeth. It can also be a significant confidence booster for patients. The benefits of teeth whitening include:
- Personalized Treatment
The professional teeth whitening techniques are customized to suit the needs of an individual and do not impact the other areas of the oral cavity. Most importantly, a patient can get to decide the strength of their whitening agent to achieve the desired level of brightness.
- Increased Strength
The bleaching solutions used at offices will be of superior quality, providing more dramatic results.
- Protects Gums
A protective guard is placed over the gums during office teeth whitening procedures to minimize gum sensitivity or discoloration. The home trays are designed to fit the patient's mouth efficiently so that the gel won't affect the gums.
- Uniform Results
The advanced techniques used at offices penetrate teeth where required, giving you a more consistent and uniform smile appearance.
- Instant Effects
The results are instant, making your smile several shades brighter in less than an hour.
- Long-Lasting
The professional teeth whitening results last longer, especially when combined with take-home whitening trays.
Types of Teeth Whitening
- In-Office Whitening
Our office whitening methods deliver instant results as the most powerful whitening solutions are used. First, we will place a plastic device called a retractor to keep your lips and cheeks away from your teeth. Then a medical-grade hydrogen peroxide gel is applied and left for about an hour. Finally, the gel is rinsed off, making your teeth at least eight shades brighter than your previous color.
- Take-Home Whitening
Home whitening treatment can efficiently whiten your teeth with your involvement. First, a set of customized plastic mouth trays will be manufactured based on your teeth's impressions. The trays need to be filled with the whitening gel provided by us and worn over your teeth for about half-hour every day for two weeks to get the desired effects.
