What Should I Know about Dental Whitening Treatments?
Are you embarrassed to smile due to stained or discolored teeth? Bring back your dazzling smile with dental whitening treatment. Drs. Adi Nokiani, Eric Quan and Jason Park from Simply Wellness Dental will have your pearly whites glistening again in no time with our in-office whitening procedure.
Here’s what you should know about dental whitening treatment in Vancouver, BC:
How does dental whitening work?
We use high-grade, peroxide-based whitening gels to brighten your smile in just one dental visit. The gel breaks up stain molecules in the enamel and dentin of your teeth to give your smile a lighter, whiter appearance. Some whitening systems use a special light to activate the whitening agent. This helps expedite the process to give you quicker results.
How long does dental whitening take?
An in-office teeth whitening treatment can take anywhere 30 – 90 minutes to complete, depending on the state of your teeth. Naturally, deeply ingrained stains will be harder to remove than those on the surface. By the time you leave our office, however, your radiant smile will have returned! If you prefer to whiten your teeth gradually to avoid sensitivity, we recommend using one of our home whitening kits. You’ll see optimal results within a few weeks.
Is dental whitening treatment safe?
Absolutely! Your in-office procedure is performed by a professional dentist with years of experience in the cosmetic dental field. Your dentist controls every aspect of your treatment and will take precautions to protect your gums and teeth during the procedure.
Is sensitivity normal with teeth whitening?
Not everyone experiences tooth sensitivity with teeth whitening, but it can occur during or after your procedure. In the process of brightening your smile, the whitening gels make your teeth more vulnerable to temperature changes in your mouth, causing temporary sensitivity.
How long do the results of teeth whitening last?
With a professional teeth whitening system, you can look forward to noticeable results that can last several years, if you take good care of your teeth after your treatment.
This can be accomplished by:
- Practicing good oral hygiene of brushing twice daily and flossing daily
- Avoiding stain-causing foods and drinks
- Quitting or cutting back on smoking or the use of tobacco products
- Seeing your dentist every 6 months for a dental cleaning
Can dental whitening eliminate all stains from my teeth?
Dental whitening works best on stains caused by age, tobacco products, coffee, wine, tea and acidic foods. Stains caused by dental trauma or the use of certain medications are often immune to dental whitening treatment. We can, however, conceal these stains with dental bonding or porcelain veneers to restore your smile’s radiant appearance.
