If you're unhappy with the color of your teeth, professional teeth whitening may be the answer that you're looking for. This cosmetic procedure can help remove stains and discoloration, giving you a brighter, more attractive smile. Although many home treatments can help whiten your teeth, professional teeth whitening offers superior results and several benefits worth considering.
There are many different causes of discolored teeth, and it is important to identify the specific cause to determine the most appropriate treatment.
When it comes to improving the appearance of your smile, professional teeth whitening is a safe, non-invasive, affordable, and effective option. This cosmetic procedure has been around for decades and has been thoroughly tested and studied by dental professionals. With proper care and attention, teeth whitening can be performed safely, with minimal risk of side effects or complications. Two distinguishing factors make professional teeth whitening the best option for discolored teeth.
1. Professional teeth whitening is performed by qualified dental experts.
These professionals are trained and experienced in administering the treatment. As a result, they can identify any potential issues or contraindications beforehand. This helps to ensure that the treatment is performed safely and effectively.
A trained dental professional is preferred for teeth whitening because of their deeper knowledge of the oral cavity. Certain problems with the teeth and gums can complicate teeth whitening and hamper the results. Dentists can detect these problems and correct them before whitening your teeth.
2. Dentists have access to medical-grade, higher-concentration bleaching agents.
Another factor that contributes to the safety of professional teeth whitening is the use of high-quality, FDA-approved bleaching agents. These agents are specifically designed for use on teeth and are formulated to be gentle and non-irritating. When used as directed, they can help to remove stains and discoloration without causing harm to the teeth or gums.
The oral health professionals at Palmetto Dental Arts use Zoom! In-office professional teeth whitening to whiten your teeth and enhance your smile.
Zoom in-office teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental treatment to whiten and brighten your teeth and enhance your smile. It is used by the oral health professionals at Palmetto Dental Arts as part of their cosmetic dental services. It typically takes a couple of hours to complete.
The treatment begins with a thorough cleaning of the teeth to remove any plaque or tartar. The dental professional will then apply a special bleaching gel to the teeth and activate it using a specialized light or laser. The light or laser helps to accelerate the bleaching process, resulting in faster and more dramatic results.
After the treatment is complete, the dental professional will rinse and dry your teeth and may apply a fluoride treatment to help strengthen and protect them.
Overall, Zoom in-office teeth whitening is a fast, convenient, and effective way to improve the appearance of your smile. With proper care and maintenance, you can enjoy a brighter, more confident smile for years to come.
No professional teeth whitening technique is permanent. The effects of the treatment can last for several months or even up to a year, depending on the individual and their oral hygiene habits, diet, and other factors. To maintain the whitened color of your teeth, you may need to touch up with at-home whitening products or receive additional professional treatments. It is also important to practice good oral hygiene, including brushing and flossing regularly and avoiding foods and drinks that can stain your teeth.
However, there are a few permanent options for whitening discolored teeth:
It is important to note that these options may require multiple visits to the dentist and cost more than professional teeth whitening. It's always a good idea to discuss your options with a dental professional to determine the best course of treatment for your specific needs.
