Are There Professional Options for Whitening Your Smile?
Oral health is an extensive and complex subject, so it’s only natural for people to have questions about dental procedures and treatments. If your goal is to improve your smile’s aesthetics, teeth whitening is often at the top of the list. At Simply Wellness Dental in Vancouver, BC, we offer a range of teeth whitening options to enhance your smile’s appearance. Here are some questions we’re often asked about our teeth whitening procedures.
What can I expect from teeth whitening?
Teeth whitening is a safe and effective way to restore your smile’s natural beauty. Drs. Adi Nokiani, Eric Quan, and Jason Park from Simply Wellness Dental offer two options for this procedure: in-office whitening for instant brightening results and an at-home treatment with a custom whitening kit for gradual whitening. Both options use peroxide-based gels to break down stubborn tooth stains and give your smile a whiter, brighter appearance.
Why should I choose professional whitening?
OTC products can’t compare to professional whitening agents. Dental whitening also comes with the input of a trained dental specialist to help you achieve optimal results. With in-office whitening, there’s no waiting time to brighten your smile as your procedure is completed in one dental visit! Our home whitening kits come with custom trays to gradually and consistently brighten your smile within two weeks.
Is professional teeth whitening safe?
Absolutely! Our dental team supervises every aspect of your procedure to achieve the best possible results with minimal risks. We’ll remove stains, discolorations, and your smile’s dull, dingy appearance to make your pearly whites gleam!
At a young age our teeth are healthy white. But overtime the enamel coating the tooth is so slowly worn down. Causing our teeth to become stained and yellow, which is why teeth whitening is become increasingly popular today. There are a few methods for whitening. They include at home and in office. With in office treatments, you will see faster results, receive the safest treatment for bleaching the teeth, and yield the whitest smile. So, don’t settle for teeth that have become stained from years of coffee drinking, tobacco use, or just aging. Ask your dentist about whitening options that may be right you.
Do whitening gels work on restorations like crowns, veneers, and fillings?
No, teeth whitening won’t change the color of existing restorations on your teeth. The agents used for teeth whitening only work on natural teeth. This should be taken into consideration when planning your whitening procedure.
Does teeth whitening cause sensitivity?
You may experience sensitivity during or after your procedure. If you have sensitive teeth, teeth whitening may aggravate this condition. These symptoms are generally temporary and subside on their own within a few days of your procedure. You can use sensitive toothpaste or OTC pain relievers to manage these symptoms.
How long do the results of dental whitening last?
With good oral care, your smile can stay whiter and brighter for a year or two. But that depends on your lifestyle habits, diet, and oral hygiene. Your teeth could easily become dull and discolored again if you continue your habits of smoking and consuming stain-causing foods and drinks. Rinsing your mouth after drinking coffee, tea, or sodas can help minimize staining. Also, see our team regularly for dental cleanings so we can help keep your pearly whites bright and healthy over the long term.
